LONDON, May 24 (by Associated
Press). — Establishment of an aenal
route from the Pacific to the Amazon
as a means of surmounting difficulties
of road travel among the Andes, is ad
vocated by G. M. Dyott, until recent
ly a squadron commander of the Erit
ish royal naval air service.
“There is no serious difficulty in
the Avay, so far as the scheme's practi
cability is concerned, ’ Mr. Dyott told
the Royal Geographical Society. “We
have heard of the great height of the
Andes, but there are low altitutdes at
which they may be crossed. One of
the Andes ridges can be negotiated at
a height of 7,000 feet, but there is an
other rising to 15,600 feet.
“Peru,” he continued, “is peculiarly
suitable for aerial traffic. Aerial high
ways Avill undoubtedly play a large
part in the future development of that
country. It is of importance that rapid
communication should be established
between the interior and the coast,
and in order to do this the airplane
must come to the rescue.”
Discussing the difficulty of travel
ing by road, Mr. Dyott said that it
took him five days to travel from one
part in the Andes to another, whereas
the airplane Avould cover the distance
in fifteen minutes, and in another
stage of the journey it took him ex
actly a Aveek to travel a distance
which Avould be negotiated by the air
plane in thirty minutes.
AUTOMOBILE FORCE ON
CANADIAN BORDER TO
CHECK BOOZE TRAFFIC
GREAT FALLS, Mont., May 24 (by
Associated Press).—Immediate form
ation of a federal police automobile
force to patrol the Canadian border
in an effort to check the smuggling
in of liquor into Montana and Idaho
has been recommended to the cus
toms bureau at Washington by A. J.
King, collector of customs at Great
Falls. Mr. King said he made the
recommendation some time ago at the
request of otf er federal officials. He
suggested that the force consist of
at least six" men, equipped with high
power automobiles and authorized to
co-operate with the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police.
The need for such a police force,
Mr. King said, was emphasized by
information gained on a recent tour
made by Mr. King with Charles Salter
special customs agent at St. Paul.
“From information gathered on our
trip,” said Mr. King, “it is apparent
that considerable liquor is carried
across the border in coal cars. These
shipments are buried in coal at Fernie,
B. C., and carried into the United
States via Eastport, Idaho, and Gate
way Mont.”
Four leather suit cases containing
more than 70 bottles of Canadian
whiskey, were brought to Great Falls
recently. They were confiscated at
Eastport and Gateway.
IDAHO STUDENTS WILL
FIGHT HIGH PRICES BY
I WEARING OVERALLS
MOSCOW. Idaho, May 24 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Following the example
set by Governor Davis and other state
officials, members of the University
of Idaho’s freshman class have adopt
ed overalls and dungarees as their
regular class room apparel. Before
the freshmen took their action a com
mittee waited on several of the city’s
larger merchants and obtained an
agreement that the present scale of
prices is to be maintained until it
becomes necessary to purchase ne v
stocks.
The university’s junior and senior
classes earlier in the year made ma
terial inroads on the excessive cost
of clothing by selecting flannel shirrs
and corduroy trousers as their offi
cial garb.

OLD FAVORITE IN
NEW PLAY AT THE
EMPRESS TONIGHT
“Shirley Kaye,” with Clara Kimball
Young in the title roie, which will be
shown tonight at the Empress, is a
tense story of American life, relieved
by several high class comedy scenes
and threaded with a genuine love in
terest. Edgerton Kaye, hereditary
president of the great Union Central
railroad, is about to lose control be
fore the combined forces of the rough
but lion-hearted western financier, T.
G. Magen, and his young associate,
John Rowson. How Shirley rises
from the social life of her Long Island
| set, absorbs financial knowledge, util
izes “T. J.’s” love for his young daugh
ter Daisy, whose heart is set on enter
ing “socity” where Shirley reigns su
preme, and finally puts Daisy in the
swim; how she wins over the western
; magnate and gains the love of Row
| son—all these developments give Miss
Young a remarkable opportunity for
the display of tense emotion, mingled
with polite comedy touches and ab
sorbing love passages.
It is a picture that will appeal alike
to the mind and the love of beauty.

FISH OF YELLOWSTONE
RIVER BEING DEVOURED
AT AN ALARMING RATE
HELENA, Mont., May 24 (by Asso
| ciated Press).—The state game war
den is about to declare war on herons
in the Yellowstone river, which are
devouring fish at an alarming rate.
There is one island alone at the mouth
of Bridge creek on which, it is esti
j mated, 2,000 of these birds have made
i their nests. They are said to eat
| many thousand tons of fish a month
i and will soon strip the river and creek,
; it is feared.
The birds kill more fish than they
eat, sportsmen say, for their method
is to stab trout with their bills in the
riffles, and many escape only to die,
further down stream.
