According to the story, Otto Binder's raney for a y-dung Eskimo girl, desired in marriage by a member o# fcher tribe, was the basic cause for the feud which culminated in the killing of the two white men, several Eskimo men and women and tbe strangling to death of a 4-year-old .Eskimo girl whose parents -had been murdered. The girl was killed rather than have her left a charge on tin- tribe. Corporal Doak was the victim of Omiak, whom he had arrested ,for his part ln the feud.

Fred McGregor, a stevedore, suddenly heard a yell, ,modea of transportation ranging from i at what he thought was about 14 the commodious ocean-going steamers n the Alaskan service to the primitive dogsled and canoe. The death sentence aroused indig- Ltion (in certain quarters and led ' the submission of petitions ask- :g for the postponement of the :utions to the Justice department. 'he Dominion cabinet reviewed the ie In the first Instance on October and declined to interfere with the sentence ilmposed. This sen- :et\CB set the execution for December 7, and the decision of the government confirmed this -date. Popular Indignation was aroused, iparticularly in the city of Toronto, jy a number of statements which ere later denied by the justice de- irtment It was alleged that one jf the prisoners was a young boy if 16 years and also that graves were dug for the condemned Eski- nos before the sentence of death -/as pronounced. The justice department denied both these allegations. ;leclaring that -the consensus of reliable opinion from the north placed he age of the prisoner referred to it between 20 and 15 years. The ■raves referred to were dug. according to the department, for the rein- feet away, and the cry, "Man overboard," went up.

From the position where McGregor had been when he heard the yell he could not have reached the deceased, even though he wns only 14 feet away. There had been considerable vapor arising from the water alongside the boat nnd there was a little snow on the barge. Fred McGregor testified that It had been Impossible to see anyone on the barge. Deckhands could carry lanterns at their work, but these would be in their way in working. In answer to a question by Alderman J. P. Morgan, one of the jury.

Notwithstanding the report made by Pobert Cllvo, British consul-general at Munich, that his Investigation In the palatinate had shown him a great majority of the people thero were opposed to the no-called autonomous government, French official circle* maintain that the Separatist movement Is quite spontaneous This, it ln asserted. Is proved by the fact that more than 400 of the 600 mayors have adhered to tho movement.

Foreign Settlements Proceeding to revlow the government's achievements he alluded to the funding of the British debt to the United States, the only alterna- tive to which would have been a continuance of the payment of interest nt 5 per cent or repudiation. He also referred to the settlement of the Turkish and Tangier ques tions and the bootlegging difficulty with the United States which, by common consent on both sidee of the Atlantic, had left the relations of the two oountries better than ever. He claimed the government was leaving its successors no out- sta ndlng problem except reparations and unemployment. Mr. Baldwin en'nrged uport the reasons which had led him to advocate protection, and declared that ho had not been driven to the adoption of that policy by anyone but was himself solely responsible. Won't Oppose Unreasonably Coming to the personal* question the prepiler mid h£ had no regretn and when his party wns in opposition It would offer no factious opposition to the new ministers. After Mr. Baldwin had spoken the house adjourned for dinner. When it reassembled, the galleries filled rapidly, the prince of Wales and the duke of York being among the early arrivals In the peers* gallery. Diplomatic representatives and men distinguished iln all ranks were present, and hundreds hod to be turned away, the demand for tickets to witness the historic scene being un precedent ed. When resumed the debates among the minor members turned upon the question whether after the vote on the Clynes amendment the house should be permitted to continue the debate to record its opposition to a Socialist policy as recommended by Winston Spencer Churchill.

In 1000 this department had 1572 employees, costing $958,494.02. By i914, the first year of the war, this had grown to 8885 employees and a payroll of $3,224,o:,6.GG. i By 1918 there were 3592 em-j ployees and a payroll of $:S,G86,- 824.25. That was the last year! of the war. Now no'e the in-' ciease since the war ended. By | 1921 the total number of em-, ployees had risen to 4075 and i the cost to $6,646,816.29. To drive home his point of i the effect of these high costs upon income tax, he quotes the j following figures, showing the •mount payable under the Cana- i dian scale on the one haiisl and under the American scale on the. other: Income. .000 5000 fiOOO 7000 2T0 9H.O0 But income tax is only one feature of taxation. Every unnecessary dollar which is spent by government becomes increased sometimes as much as three and four fold by the time it reaches the finished article, on account of the taxation of necessity having to be pyramided at every stage of the handling of an article. Every dollar wasted by government makes it more difficult for Canada to do business with the outside world and to keep its people employed satisfactorily within the borders of the Dominion. Statesmanship Superseded by Demagoguism Now that Lloyd George, after a long career of pacifism before the war, of war leader during the war, and of complete abandonment to chauvinism in the khaki election and the Versailles conference which followed the war, has returned to his old position with the left wing Liberals and has gone so far in that direction that he is promising support to Labor social measures, it is interesting to recall a paragraph or two from the diary of Col. C. C. Kepington written during the war. Col. Repington was military correspondent on the Times and tasily the best-informed student of military affairs in Great Britain at the time. Under date of November 19, 1917, he writes: "Monday, Nov. 19.—I went to the house of commons in the afternoon to hear the great debate on the Kapallo agreement and Lloyd George's Paris speech. Asquith opened in a speech of great moderation, asking many pertinent questions. L. G. replied at once. The house was crammed. I sat in the sergeant-at-arms' box and had a good view. L. G. at his best. He began slowly and either answered or skilfully evaded Asquith's questions. Then he stocked up and began to lay about him, using every artifice of the demagogue and the play-actor. He played on the whole gamut of human emotions, cajoling, threatening with fierce gestures and rising to a great height of simulated passion. He was humorous, too, and the whole house rose to him anil rocked with joy. What an assembly! . . . , It is too delicious to compare the Paris speech and this one with L. G.'s past speeches at the Albert hall. Carnarvon, etc. They are absolutely contradictory, and everything that he said was true then he now says is untrue. What a game of hanky-panky politics are! "Dined with Lord Haldane, and we bemoaned . . . the supetsession of statesmanship by demagoguism at home. . . I liked his dictum that L. G.'s mind fastened on images and banned concepts." "The supersession of states- ! manship by demagoguism" is a complaint from which many countries are suffering. Perhaps it is a disease, like influenza in the human body, which is destined periodically : to infect the body politic. W,tjat is lacked by so many politicians | of the Lloyd Oeorge stamp is ! basic guiding principles. Op- 1 portunism may win elections, but the country pays for it in 1 the long run.

Sleeping Sickness (Registered in accordance wi'th the Copyright Act) *■» Although I dislike talking about conditions thnt are mro; nevertheless, there has been such a widespread public interest in this condition that perhaps a l>-w thoughts about it might be in order. There are a number of symptoms, but tho three outstanding points about it are the extreme sleepiness, the absolute weakness of all the muscles and a paralysis of certain parts of the body mfiVcting the eyes and voice most frequently. There a re ot her nympt oms often present, Including headachy, dizziness and double vision. It luti from _\ few days to a number 6J weeks. The longer it lasts tbe better Is tbe chunce of recovery. The outstanding symptom, of course, lis the extreme drowsiness or sleepiness. The patiuet can usually be wakened; will actually talk o)ii.to sensibly about bis condition and symptoms for a while, but will drop off to sleep again at once. Now, what is the cause of this trouble? It in not definite'y known at the present. A number of theories have been set forth? in. -hiding the liilc-i that it might be a form of food poisoning or perhaps due to tho same poison that causes infantile i>aralysis. However, one thing has been noted by investigiits.rs. The extreme prostration of sleeping sickness is very much liko that seen in .Influenza or grippe. You've bad the grippe, or have seen people with it, and you remember how weak and tired they appeared. Another thing: when you were getting better from the grippe you will also remember how depressed you f'-lt. This depression lasted a long while, considering that short time, you were sick. Also, these cases of sleeping sickness come about the same t.me of year as grippe or flu, as it is If he hat mads frantic effort to get money and failed, be calll this a sordid and commercial age. j Mr. and Mrs. A.

DC, Jan. 21.—The •*,orld demand for Chilean nitrate has been Increasing at a high rate, and unless Influence* growing out of the • ar or which became effective during the war period have permanently altered the situation, still heavier drafts must be made on the supply of nitrate available In Chile. This le declared In a report on "the cost of Chilean nitrate" prepared as the result of a survey authorised by congress last year for a study of ways and means of assuring commercial independence to American consumers ln the procurement of certain essential raw materials now largely produced i'broad under monopoly control. These products Included not only nitrate, but also rubber and sisal, and Investigating commissions were selected by the departments of commerce and) * agriculture to conduct these otudle*. The present report on the ccst of Chilean nitrate, made public here, ls the first of a series in the nitrate survey, and was pre pared by Foster Balm, director of the bureau of mines, and H. S. Mul liken, special agent, who went to Chile to gather much of their Information. The export tax on nitrate is the Chilean government's chief source of income; the supply of the raw material ia vast, "sufficient tc meet the probable demand for one or more centuries," amd while it would be possible for the Chilean gov eminent to abandon the whole or part of the nitrate tax, thus reducing the cost to the consumer, 'It !« not probable, says the report, "that any such complete change ln taxation would ever be made up less It la necessary to retain a mar ket for the natural nitrate." In spMe of the fact that Chile possesses a natural monopoly of this raw produce, nitrate ls obtained from other sources, fcr example, aa a by-product ln the manufacture of coke and coal and gas and by the process of fixation by taking the free nitrogen from the air; and the United States, although the largest user of Chilean nitrate, receives less than half of its supply of fixed nitrogen from* Chilean sources.

PHONE 144 (Two Lines) GIANT SHARKS RANGED PACIFIC INTHEMIOCENE Great Teeth Are Found in Limestone Quarry Near Lot Angeles Sa'd the little eohippus, "I'm going to be a horse And on my middle toenail To run my earthly course." LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.—How Charlotte Perkins Oilman came to know this Inasmuch as it murt h.ive happened 600,000 years or so before she began to write about economics sociology, the feminist movement, the blythesome eohippus and other lyric subjects, never has been, ox- plained, but so it Is, and thus stands the recorded racial determination of the primitive progenitor of the domestic horse. Having thus whickered his wild resolve, eohippus galloped off Into the geologic night, also without 'explanations, but we know from the hooves of hia. descendants that he succeeded ln hlB determination and to this day he is an object of respect to all the progeny of Tubal Cain and their collateral relatives, the Smiths. Find No Eohippus Searching a recent Saturday In Limestone canyon, 7 miles east of Orange, for vestlglary remains of eohippus, Samuel Maus Purple, well-known geologic explorer, and Dr. A. J. Tlege, geologist of the Los Angeles museum, found not a single toenail. Instead, they found sharks' teeth. Geology ls like that—chancey— Those addicted to it take what they find and are thankful. They were not the largest sharks' teeth known to science. The longest, measuring five Inches, was found last year by Mr. Purple In the Palos Verdea hills near Los Angeles harbor. But they were formidable weapons, for all that. By their length, compared with teeth extracted from sharks caught In these plndling times, one estimates the dimensions of the monsters of the past. The largest shark known today Mr. Purple said, measures 35 feet. His teeth are an inch long, never more. Some of those found that Saturday were more than two Inches long. Proportionately, the estimated length of their possessors was from from -66 to 70 feet. The tooth found ln the Palos Verdes hills was more than five inches long, and must have belonged to the great-grandfather of alt sharks. Mr. Purple believes he was more than 150 feet in length. Upturned Sea Bed As nearly as a cursory first examination could determine, these giant Bharks ranged the Pacific coast of North America in the Mi ocene age, from 1,500,000 to 3,000, 000 years ago. To repeat the ob servatlon of the reporter complimented by Dr. David Starr Jordan in the Times of a recent Saturday, what Is now dry land must then have been under water. Sharks' Tooth hill, as Mr. Purpl* named the knolt on the slopes of which the teeth were found, rises an estimated 700 feet above the sea and now lies 20 miles inland. The soil consists of sand and fossil shells. Originally a portion of the sea floor, it was upturned in some seismic convulsions and subsequently scoured bare by tlie winds and the rains of ages until the remains of past life with which it was interladed were laid bare. Approximately an Inch and a half of rain fell in that portion of Orange Saturday and must have washed away many specimens. while perhaps s/un<>overing others. The party Intend to return for another visit of exploration at some future date. I 'Not Coincident Dr. Tlege particularly hoped to find osseous remnants of the eohippus, sharks and horses—the con- Junction stirred the reporter's lmag inatlon, but Mr. Purp'e cast doubt on his conjecture that the eoppi might have been devoured by am phlblous sharks. A matter of i million years or more between the time of eohippus and that of the sharks-seemed to preclude this other wise plausible explanation. His be belief was that little eohippus died with his toenails on. and that his remains were subsequently washed out to sea by terrestrial dreams, silted down in the sea bed, subsequently unheaved like the ground on which Los Angeles stands, and then bared hundreds of thousands of years later by erosion of the elements. With the sharks' teeth were found numerous shells, vertebrae of prehls torlc whales, and one tooth of ( mammal. All the fossils will be sent to David Starr Jordan for clas slflcation and later will be added to the Purple collection In the Los Angeles museum. Accompanying the two scientists were George D. Ament and Robert Northcross, two old-timers who know every foot of the coun try around about.

The rldlculous'y childish prattle concerning interference with "vested rights" in connection with making the beet use of our forest resources Is pure balderdash. The time Is not only here but ls long since past when we should have limited the cutting to the amount of the net annual Increment even for our own Industry. This policy Is being practiced in practically every other country dependent in any measure on forest resources except Canada. Even In the United States, which is notoriously profligate in the use of its forests, cutting on all publicly owned lands ls under government regulation, while in New York state cutting for any purpose whatever in state forests has been totally prohibited. > PILLS Sold evsrtrrv-here la ■IflsBalaal—T Me die in, in«'ncV,V.-* ■>. To the Editor of The Dally News:/* St—Despite the great amount of publicity devoted by the press the past year or two to the subject of forestry and forest depletion, very few yet fully realize how critical the situation really is that ls confronting Canada today. Even were the government to adopt every wise .measure that has been suggested for forest conservation, which, of course. ls entirely Improbable, Canada will still be faced with a wood famine within 10 years, regardless of whether fire Is kept out of the remaining young growth and regardless of how many seedlings we may plant ln the meantime. A new crop cannot be produced In time to provide for the enormous and Increasingly heavy demand that is being made on our small remaining wooded area. Our forest fire losses are away beyond any figures given to the public. It Is useless for propagandists for American interests to endeavor to hoodw'nk the people. The cold facta are perfectly apparent to everyone who travels across Canada, either by train, steamer or automobile. As far as the eye can reach the devastation and lack of forest growth Is perfectly obvious to the most cusual observer. As for the remote sections, where railroads do not penetrate, the fact that mere' poles are being cut in these areas at such grent distances that it takes two and three years to make the drive to the mills proves cone usively that we are now largely operating along the very fringe of our last stand of wood. Resources Overestimated The fact that governmental statistics in regard to the forest wealth of Canada compile in the past are practically worthless, being at beat little more than guesses, is frankly conceded by the government officials themselves. A set of such statistics, Issued this year by the forestry branch of the department of the in- . - terlor for the information of the Em-j was grown in the Interests of the pire forestry conference, differs ma- I whole people is not confiscation but tertally from a similar set of sta- | merely sound regulation which is tistics Issued only two years earlier j amply justified by Canadian prece- by the officials ot the conserva- i dent and by universal practice, Any- tlon commission of Canada. Neither one acquiring property realizes that of thaw statements is based, except I as an owner he must submit to to a small degree, upon actual In-1 such laws and regulations as may ventorles nf the standing timber, and, he deemed necessary for the public neither takes sufficient account of we fare. There arc American court the wood lost through fires and! decisions to the effect that the state other destructive agencies. Many, may prescribe that a landowner can- past estimates have fallen down very j not cut any tree on his privately materially when the areas have been actually cut out. some seriously affect our agriculture well, since crops cannot be grown in a country devoid of trees. Wheat cannot be raised In a desert, a truth emphasized by the fact that some of the world's greatest deserts today were once richly forested areas and yielded crops but are now incapable of bearing crops of any kind, a con. dition toward which Canada la ln- ev.tably heading as rapidly as possible. Due to tho same cause the loo rapid depletion of our forests, our water powers are also decreas.ng in efficiency from year to year, while the navigation of our rivers Is becoming more difficult every season. The entire great pulp and paper Industry ef Canada is based on the embargo on crown land wood. If such wonderful results followed from thki wise legislation, why such hesl- tat.on on the part of the government to go a step further and prohibit the export of fee land wood, I ask the reader to pause when he reads these incontrovertible facts. Of what use is a for our best forest authorities to keep calling the attention of the public to these alarming facts if It results in no action? Pages of written warnings do not plant | one tree nor extinguish one forest j fire. What Canada needs today is I action, and no action is possible I until those In authority can be made No cry of "vested rights" ls heard i to realize their responsibility and to except where American mnnied in terests are concerned. Apparently no one ln our government fs constrained to speak for the "vested rights" of the Canadian people. The government of the province of Nova Scotia took over all water powers belonging to the people of that province without any compensation. No cry of confiscation or the Invasion of "vested rights" was raised in their beha f, even by those Nova Scotians who nre now so vociferous in their appeals for protection for the so- railed interests of foreign despoilers of our forests.

Standard Furniture Co. COMPLETE SOUSE FURNISHERS - NELSON, B.C. EDMONTON, Jan. 18.—In hlB ad- dri-sn to the AHhTta T'nlted Farmers* oonvantlon horf J'rcnldent H. W. Wood friarte some f m'it i' ;i 1 rpf err noes. Ho dacUrad that during the Post year "polltioal Ii'issIhui haa reared Ur head from the miasmal swamplands of political partyism and issued a plead.ng call to the free citizenship of Alberta to return to the infest «m] domain." Little heed had been paid to 'the call. The host of Alberta citizens who in 1921 broke away ftom "the thraldom of party bossism" that for generations had "herded tho massoa of citizena in party slave pens" had no intention of voluntarily returning to party servitude. "Leadership was scarce, and shyor than it was scarce," he continued. "The mighty uprising collapsed, and about all that is left is a blind drummer or two." In the vicious assault that had been launched against the Oreenfield government facts had been perverted, difficulties defined as wrong-doing and "criticism prostituted to vicious Indictment." No effurt had been spared to discredit the government In tho minds of the people. "The whole attempt," continued Mr. Wood, "waa evidently staged because the present government does not represent the reactionary forces that have controlled the political party ■Patau from the beginning. No sane person would claim that tho present government Js perffM-t, or that it has not made mlstnk.es; and no sane person expected perfection. This government represi-nts the effort of the people In the coiutrol of thedr own political activities and it la the government's first experience. While this is true, tho government haa no cause to be ashamed of honest comparison with any which has preceded it, and the peop'e have much cause to be encouraged by their effort. * • • Ha who criticizes for the purpose of creating confusion in the minds of the people and to retard the r efforts in the development of higher and more efficient citizenship is an enemy to the people. He is trying to confuse, and unworthy of the rights of citizenship. He is a spiritual cmfusionist and a social reactionary." ln reality tho reactionaries were wagfnt* war against tho new system as represented in the Alberta government, saiid Mr. Wood. The organized farmers had built a syt*tem whereby they believed they could elimln.'ite poltlcal control by profess ona 1 po kUclans; nnd this, they believed, would remove ono of the greatest barriers to real social progress. Democracy could never hope to succeed so ong as its forces were led and controlled "by the servants and emissaries of autocracy." He be- lJov«d that both the new system and the people would stand the test of a hustalned democratic fefort. "The United Farmws of Alberta," Mr. Wood concluded, "are trying to contribute to the great work of social reorganization. They have moved ln political reorganization and they are moving in economic reorganlation." "Are You Sick of Jungle Chatttr?" "So far they have aucce-edod as well as they had njiy reason to hope. They have demonstrated what can be done ln the vigor of their youth, bu't not what oan be accomplished by the strength of developed maturity. Will they go on In that development guided by sanity and wisdom, working, achieving, until their efforts are rewarded with success; or will they retire from the field exhausted by 'their first effort, grumbllngly but submissively to resume the burdens of servitude, hoping that eventually some philanthropic autocracy will lift the burdens from their shoulders and set them free? "If you cannot withstand the jungle chatter of the Jungle people you will turn back to the jungle and add ?our chatter to the Jungle confusion. f your souls have slacked at that chatter and are filled with a sincere desire for harmony a nd order you will keep steadfastly to your course. Tha choice ia youxa." ~Jlnd in Life i Evening Time If a lamp could vvrile its story, what a story that would be. "I came when tlie home was young," it would say, "1'nder my rays he and she made their lirst family budget. "I helped the youngsters with their lessons, smiling down at them; in a corner I twinkled oxer wedding gilts, and shed my blessing on the marriage of the daughter of the house. "And now, when the children are gone, and the home is quiet once more I still am here. There are no regrets where books, and light and love abide. "The afternoon of life has its own great compensations. "And at evening time it shall be light." Go to the F.cli.nn Mazda Lamp Agent in your neighborhood.

REGINATALLY Capitals' Return to Form Is Driven Home in Defeat to Seattle •* REGINA, Jan. 21.—Any suspicion that Reglna's return to form was a faiiry tale, and their win over the Crescents Saturday a mistake, was dispelled when the Capitals skated the Seattle Mets absolutely dls-ey to- night, and equalled the high-scoring record for tbe league in registering their 9 to 1 trium-m. After th* first 10 minutes, in which the Capital's netted cne goal. It was not on argument; It was a proces sion, with all roads leading to the citadel guarded by tlhe unhappy "Happy'1 Holmes. The only relief from the monotony of Reglna scores came in the second period, when Smoky Harris acepted Jim Riley's pass from t.he wing and rushed It into the cocp where Red McCusker stood at ease most of the evening. George Hay and Dick Irvin, who led the Champ aggregation to their victory over the Saskatoon Sheiks, were again very much to Ihe fore. But they did rot have tbe whole nhow to t*iemselve3, fcr Barney Stan ley horned in to take his shir** in .the goal-getting orgy, and both Dut kowski nnd Trnub collected a point. Disorganizing Abe usually systematic Mets when they got away to a commanding lead in tho opening chapter, the Capitals introduced more nnd more combination as the affair progressed, and at th? finish they had their team work down to perfection. In tiheir three seasons as entries for professional honors, they have never looked as good, and Pete "VTuIdoon's Americana were corre-' spondingly wetiker than tn any, previous appearance here. Stops Forty-siflht Shots The nine Regina tallies wera equally divided over the -*hree periods, 'but they had more of the play after tin' Mets wilted dn the second.

Sir John Simon, for the Liberals, .had little to add tc former Premier Aaqulth'a previous arguments, but contended that Winston Spencer Churchill's Idea of a fusion of the Conservatives and Liberals to exclude Labor from the government would only tend to strengthen the very force* Churchill d-eslred tc circumvent. Austen Chamberlain, who was chancellor of the exchequer under Lloyd Oeorge, devoted hie main argument to attempts to show that the Liberals, by helping Labor Into power, would Inevitably be drawn Into supporting them there, and thus would be assisting a government and policy they affected to distrust, rather than take a middle ocurse which would give the country what It wanted- Leber er Conservative In Future The public, voting he It did ln the last election, he said, had never thought that It waa going to put a Socialist government Into power. Asquith, he declared. In consequence of his attitude In the situation, would go down ln history as the last Liberal premier, The country would henceforth vote Labor or Conservative, as it would never again elect those who had betttiyed lta trust. Miss Margaret Bond-field, Labor, in her maiden speech, devoted herself to the shortcomings of the Baldwin government tn legislating for women nnd unemployment. She waa warmly cheered. Lleut.-Col. L. C. Amery, flrat Iprd of the admiralty, gave further explanations of the government's program of cruiser construction for the relief of the unemployed. He said that practically aW of Britain's light cruisers would become worn out or obsolete within the next 12 ysnrs: hence the necessity cf expediting construction In ordwr to maintain effective strength, and for this purpose the country would need to lay down about 26 cruisers within the coming decade. Build Cruisers, Give W«rk What the government proposed waa to lay down immediately eight cruisers of 10,000 tons each, with eight-inch gvma In addition, the government proposed to build some auxiliary vessels, The program would Klve direct employment to 38,000 persona and Involve a special addition of £5,000,000 to the navy estimates for the coming year. He hoped the succeeding government Would give sympathetic consideration to this program. T. P. O'Connor, the veteran Nationalist, confesa-ed he was glad that a Labor government was coming Into power. He believed the Laborites would propose large measures of .social refcrm which no consistent Liberal could oppose, and It waa reasonable to suppose that they could not pass extreme measurea. He /favored a Labor government because of the foreign policy he hoped It would pursue. FOR LAUGH PURPOSES ONLY A comedy program you will remember for months.
