FL OF WILD GEESE
SALT LAKE CITY, Oec. 2 (by As

missioner. The Springfield flock re
sulted from the detention of two Ca
nadian wild geese there a year ago.
The two increased to fourteen and fell
victims to forage poisoning by feed

DEPUTY MARSHAL MILLSAP
TALKS TO NEWSPAPER MAN
For the past fourteen years James
M. Millsap, deputy United States mar
shal at McCarthy, Alaska, has not left
the North. He is now a confirmed
sourdough. Mr. Millsap arrived at the
Multnomah yesterday on his way to
Texas, where he will pass the winter.
“McCarthy is a small town,” ex
plained the officer, “near the outlet
# of the big White river, about thirty
miles from Mount Wrangell, 14,000
feet high, which is always smoking,
and Mount Blackwell, 18,000 feet, and
above all, it is near the Kennecott
copper mines. These mines arranged
to ship all during the war about
$2,000,000 each week to the Tacoma
smelter. About three trains a week
go out with this ore, the ore being
about 73 per cent pure copper. The
mines are the largest producers in
the world for cost of operation, which
was prior to the war 5 per cent. We
are 196 miles from Cordova, right in
the heart of the big game country,
where there are moose, caribou, bear
and mountain sheep. Five hunting
parties of business men from the At
lantic cpast have been there this sea
son.”—Portland Oregonian.
MAKING PURCHASES FROM
UNCLE SAM’S STORES
Shopping at the army’s sales has
possibilities out of the ordinary. For
example, one has an opportunities to
meet his requirements for lignite coal,
provided he will take a carload. If
he has any neighbors whom he wants
to keep at a distance he may pick
up enough barbed wire—-of the sort
specially made to stop Germans to
fence tightly the whole of his back
yard .even though it comprises a town
ship of two. If a light-running vehicle
would meet his fancy, he may have
his pick of 100 buckboards painted an
unobtrusive olive drab.
A man need not be pernickety. He
can let his choice range through steam
boilers, bristle brushes that will clean
pistols or anything else—gas masks
to hang in the parlor, and currycombs.
