Commerce Committee, succeeding Al

SEEK RE I BEAT
Among the missions Dr. Ralph
Smith and his associate geologists and
topographers will combine with their
exploration of the Colville river ba
sin this summer will be an effort to
determine the migratory habits of the
caribou and where he hides himself
when journeying north.
Gerald Fitz-Gerald, topographer,
with the exploration party, made in
quiries around Point Barrow in an
effort to elicit information as to the
habits of the animals when on the
Arctic slope, but, he says, he was
unable to glean any authentic infor
mation. He is sure the animals do
not linger to the west of the Col
ville river, but hopes to encounter
evidence to the east of the great
stream that will shed some light on
the matter.
While in the north both Dr. Smith
and Mr. Fitz-Gerald will study the
fossil remains found in the rocks of
the region and thereby hope to con
nect up the chain of circumstantial
evidence indicating that the mam
moth or mastodon roamed far into
the Arctic before a cataclysm of na
ture overwhelmed them and extin
guished them from the earth.
Among the legends they will en
deavor to trace to their origin are
those to the effect that there is still
an unnamed valley between the Col
ville and Porcupine rivers in which
natives claim to have discovered
monster tracks and evidence of some
species of prehistoric mammal wan
dering around. There are regions
into which it is impossible to per
suade an Arctic coast Eskimo to ven
ture owing to these legends.
A similar condition is ascribed to
the Coppermine river region of
Canada, where two missionary
priests were killed in 1915. Among
the evidence adduced at the trial of
two eskimos who did the killing was
that to the effect that the priests
tried to force them to cross the en
chanted country, or where the big
beasts roamed. The same story was
told in connection with the killing of
Radwell, the American explorer, in
the barren region between the head
waters of the Chipman river and the
Coppermine river.
While the exploration party con
sider the matter as a myth they will,
said Dr. Smith, keep an eye open for
any evidence indicating the last
stand of the mammoth whose bones
are, from time to time, unearthed in
placer mining.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
RAVAGES BRITISH FARMS
LONDON, Feb. 13.—The disastrous
epidemic of foot and mouth disease,
which has been ravaging the larms
of England and some parts of Scot
land for several months past shows
no signs of abating in spite of the
stringent methods employed for its
suppression by the Board of Agri
culture,
The authorities’ main el fort to
stamp out the disease has been by
means of the slaughter of all aui- \
mals on the farm where the out
break has been discovered, the cre
mating of the affected carcases and
prohibiting also the movement of cat
tle from a large area.
Of late there has been a fairly
general demand among sections of
the agricultural community that iso
lation of the infected animals should
be tried as against the official policy
of slaughtering. Under such a scheme
of isolation whole areas would bt
placed practically within a ring fence,
and agriculture within its boundaries
wTould be almost at a standstill. The
duration of isolation would depend up
on the violence of the disease and
other circumstances and to enforce'
the regulations huge staffs of officials
would be required. Up to the pres
ent the county of Cheshire has been
most seriously affected by the dis
ease.
SELLS MOONSHINE AS “GOOD
STUFF,’ PAID FOR IT IN
COUNTERFEIT $20 NOTES
CHICAGO, Feb. 13.—With the re
moval of Edward C. Bronson, Kan
sas City, Mo., where he is to stand
trial on a charge of having circulated
$20,000 worth of bogus $20 notes, a
remarkable story of a “double cross” j
came to light.
Bronson, who confessed having cir
culated the spurious notes, said that;
several months ago he entered into
i negotiations with a group of Chicago
saloonmen.
Branson said he could deliver a
large amount of “pre-war” Kentucky
liquor and the former dispensers
agreed to take $20,000 worth, C. O.
D. Bronson admits that he delivered
raw moonshine, but that he received
his money in cash and thought he
had worked the double cross. Soon
after, however, he found that the
! money was counterfeit, and then pur
chased an automobile and with four
companions passed the money in the
Weste’n states.
His companions were arrested, con
victed and sentenced from one to <:
18 years imprisonment, but none told
