Ballaine of Seattle, an Alaskan railroad constructor, had presented to President Coolidge charges reapectlng the transfer of the Matanuska coal reserve from the Navy to the Department of 4he Interior. Mr. Fallalne, In a lengthy letter to the President, declared examination of official flies would show that former Secretary Fall and Secretary Den* by In July, 1921, four months after they had taken office, began negotiations for the transfer of the Alaskan coal reserve from the Navy to the Interior department and for the leasing of that reserve for a period of fifty years. The negotiations and the terms agreed upon, Mr. Ballaine asserted, "ran along lines exactly parallel with the negotiations and th^ terms of the lease of tlie Teapot Dome oil reserve." He charged that powerful interests are hindering Alaskan development. The Alaskan railroad man explained that the lease was never consummated, but declared that the Department of the Interior upon taking over mining operations in the Matanuska field suspended mining operations, and that the Navy department had refused to utilize Alaskan coal on the Pacific coast, although !t had been shown n> be cheaper and better, he aaid. Senator LaFollette (Rep* Wis.) Introduced a resolution paving the way for an Investigation into the charges made by John G. Ballaine, an Alaskan railroad constructor, that former Secretary of the Interior Fall and Secretary of the Navy E>enby entered Into negotiations seeking to transfer and lease valuable coal reserve lands In Alaska along the same ltnea of tlie Teapot Dome transaction.

Strike Great IMPROVEMENT IN OBEYING DRY LAW Attorney General in Report to President Tells of ^Ifconditio Washington. -- Attorney General Daugherty reported to President Coolidge that a stricter enforcement of prohibition already has Inspired a "more wholesome respect for law and order." The attorney general sent to the President a resume of conditions after four years' operation of the dry laws. From facts which had come to the department, he said, It was apparent that his office was getting larger cases, that it was trying them more promptly, and that It was securing much heavier penalties. Expressing amazement at the volume of, business which the federal courts have been able to handle, the attorney general explained that more than 115,000 cases had been concluded, of which 92,411, or about 80 per cent, resulted in convictions and fines aggregating $15,726,593. During the last fiscal year, he said, the federal courts have disposed of prohibition cases at the average rate of 119 daily. The attorney general expressed regret that there had beeq so many dismissed cases, most of which, he said, were dropped for want of evidence. The Injunction was used effectively first in California, but "perhaps the most spectacular work," says Mr. Daugfierty, "has been done in Chicago and the northern district of Illinois. "An injunction campaign," He continued, "be^an in June, 1923. The courts were closed during July and August, but the United States attorney there by October 1 had secured 141 injunctions, where the places bad been actually closed. ",Among these there were the De Jonghe hotel, a million-dollar establishment, five breweries, also milliondollar establishments, and 135 cabarets and saloons. In addition to this, 1,400 places were closed by city authorities. While it takes a whole day to try the average small liquor case before a Jury, by using the Injunction proceeding he can secure the closing of fifteen to twenty places a day." Federeds Near Tuxpam After Hard Battle Mexico City.--Military activities have been concentrated upon the Vera Cruz OIL region with the purpose of recapturing Tuxpam, the most important city still held by the rebels.

Vincente Herrlera defeating the rebel leaders, Goldlnas Vesareo and J., Vega Rernal. . The rebels fortified the hills surrounding Papantla and had been successful in holding off the federal troops for a week. The federals, however, carried out a flanking movement and forced the rebels to abandon the town and to withdraw toward Tuxpam. Railroad headquarters here reports that Tlerra Blanca was occupied by the federals. The rebels withdrew without fighting.

It la not to thf ffbwer garden, but to the animal dom that perfume makers go for scent a It Is said that In all the flower kingdom there are only six flowers that chemists can call on, to help make perfume; these are the rose, tuberose, Jasmine, Jonquil, violet and orange .blossoms. The rest only furnish jdors that can be Imitated In perfumery laboratories. Nothing In lilac perfume, for instance, comes from lilacs. The mucb-m aligned "musk" Is an eaaentlal Ingredient of almost all pel* fumes. Without musk there would be no perfume, for It is the substance that holds all the others together, and imparts permanence to the more fickle vegetable odors. The odor of musk Is the most enduring in the world. Music is derived from the musk deer, a little" animal about twenty-two Inches high and three feet long, that inhabits central Asia. Three thousand pounds of musk arc gold annually, and every ounce is worth Its weight In gold. "Civet" Is another animal perfume obtained from the glands of the civet cat, a nptive of Asia and Africa. This Is one of the most valuable Ingredients for the making of perfumes. Recently $145,000 worth of this article reached this country, packed In hollowed bullock horns, the method of transportation In e since the days of Solomon. Castor Is obtained from the beaver. The other principal animal product used in perfume is "ambergris." This is the cast-off secretion of the sperm whale, and, like musk, has a very disagreeable odor in Its undiluted strength, but it Is perhaps the most indispensable raw material used by high-grade perfume manufacturers. It is found floating on the surface of the sea In warm climates. The pieces M¥v* " " Keep the Children Weil!

States Seek Data on Amount of Game Killed Minnesota and New York were pioneer states in Inaugurating systems to ascertain the amount of game killed each year. Today a score or more of the state game departments are striving to collect this Important data. The compilation of such data gives a very good idea of game conditions In the different states. By reading the tabulated results from the census of game killed you can also arrive at a pretty accurate conclusion as to the efficiency of the game departments of these states In years gone by. From a Denver dispatch we learn that it Is estimated that 600 deer were killed In Colorado last year. In the game paper comes a report from New Jersey that 860 Virginia deer were killed in that Btate the past season. When you compare the areas of Colorado and New Jersey, when you think of the difference in density of population and also consider the amount of territory In each suitable for deer, you cannot help but realize that Colorado has been negligent in the past In the eara o{ her game.
