Pacific coast, he announced here to
day. Captain de Wimlt said be would
leave New York in a few days to
lead an expedition of six civilian-;
and three score .Mexican snldiers ?o

rich deposits of pitchblende from
which radium is made.
The island is about 40 miles from

coast," said Mr. De Wimlt, "Tilmron
is easily accessible. Yatpii lad'an,
who live on the mainland, call Tibn
ron the 'Island of Death' for the rea
son that any person who lands on it
is shot bv poisoned darts and then
eaten bv the natives. The cannibals,
in addition to bows and arrows, use
an ancient blunderbuss. Thev are

' and dullness of flavor. It is the secret of
many a much-praised sauce. Economical
foods made of "left-overs" are often hailed
: as delicious new dishes when Del Monte
Catsup is used in their preparation.
A good catsup makes a hundred. otHer foods
taste better and Del Monte Catsup has a distinc
tive fresh tomato flavor that puts it in a class by
itself. Be sure you get the best. Ask for Del
Monte and let the red shield be your guide to per
fect satisfaction in Catsup as well as in more than
a hundred other delicious products canned fruits,

SHANGHAI. Abolition (.f spheres
of influence In t'hlna was recom
mended In a resolution adopted at a
recent meeting here of the Associa
tion of British Chambers of Com
merce in China and Hongkong. This
association includes representatives
of most important Hiitish commercial
interests in the Far Fast.
Its action is regarded here as
significant because ii has long been
claimed that Greut iiritain has been
able to obtain a dominant position in
trade in China chiefly by reason of
the vast extent of Hiitish spheres of
inl'luenre. which is said to over
shadow those of all other countries.
The conference r-eso!ved that the
time had come to reaffirm the aboli
tion of the "open door as an essen
tial commercial principle and that
abolition of spheres of influence,
should be accomplished by interna
tional agreement.
The Uritish government was asked
by the association to remit a portion
cf the lloxer Indemnity and devote
it to the education of Chinese along
British lines.
The association expressed its sym
pathy with the desire of the Chinese
to nholish the plan of extra-territor-lality.
Hut declared a stable govern
ment should first be established, a
satisfactory code of laws enacted and
that the Chinese judicial system
should be reformed.
It asked also that the Hritish gov
ernment should put into immediate
effect tho measures adopted by the
International Opium invention in
lit 12 restricting traffic with Chinese
in narcotic drugs. It demanded ihat
piracy on Chinese rivers should be
suppressed.

CIIAKI.KSTOWN. W. Va. The
man uf act are and sale of moonshine
whi.-kev in the mountains of southern
W:jt Virginia is claiming the close
attention of W. S. HuHanan. prohibi
tion . commissioner, who with a large
force of deputies continues to raid
and arrest almost weekly.
There have been times in the last
few weeks when the officers have
met determined resistance, and al-
f ready two men, I'reston Mullens, an
I alleged moonshiner, and John D.
I Kennedy, a deputy sheriff, bave lost
j their lives in the campaign.
1 This fight, the most serious in re
cent years, occurred in the Panther
I Creek section of McDowell county, on
(the Virginia border. Panther creek,
the p rob i bit ion aut horities say, is
one of the most active mooushining
jdtstricts in the stale. There, accord
ing to Mr. Ilallanan, have been gath
ered some iif the most famous manu
facturers of moonshine from llachan
an county, Virginia. They know all
Ihat Is to be known about the indus
try, and some of them are tamed for
tho ijualitles of their "corn liquor."
Usually their stills are extremely dif
ficult to locale, but gradually the
prohibition officers are hunting them
out and destroying them.
There is another kind of moonshin
er in that section who is giving the
officers much trouble. He makes
his moonshine as ipiirkly as possible,
markets it with I he least delay, and
then moves bis still to some other
place.
The count ry is mountainous and
rough with many fertile valleys.
These valleys, 'the commissioner has
discovered, were this year used to a
large extent for the growing of sugar
cane, the high price of sugar having
driven some of the old time moon
shiners to producing what they need
ed for domestic and moonshine pur
poses. PRINCE OF WALES LIVES

PORTLAND, Jan. 'JT. According;
to a Washington dispatch received j
i here today it is unc.crstood to have i
.been decided not to lease to Doak and'
! Hrown, San Francisco contractors, j
i 10, oca acres of government lands on
; upper Klamath Lake for a period of
'thirty years. Tim lands were to have
j been turned over to the contractors
i for that period to compensate them
i for the cost of reclamation.
I Representatives Sinnott of Oregon)
and Itaker of California conferred at
length Willi Secretary Lane and thnj
director of reclamation yesterday audi
there is a tendency to withhold tin;
lease from the San Francisco con-
tractors, the dispatch said. I
The interior department is said to
believe it would be driving a good1
bargain but the pressure from the
American Legion of Klamath Falls in
northern California is so strong as to
be almost irresistabte.
The opponents of the project have
used with success the charge that the
California-Oregon Power company is
Interested in the reclamation project
anil while the department depies any
such conned ion or influence it has
admittedly made tho situation trou
blesome. Tho legion men believe the laud
should be Haved for the use of-former
service men.
