PAGE FIVE INSULATION CUTS New Books JIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, JfEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1936. ). OF F CROW INDIAN RESERVATION. Hardin. Mont. (UP) A hundred bi son are enjoying ft new domain in the wilds of the Crow Indian reser vation here after a 250-mlle trip In seven trucks from the Yellowstone national park. To Chief Robert Tellowtail, full blooded Crow Indian and superin tendent of the Crow reservation, goes credit for conceiving the Idea of bringing the buffalo back as a part of Indian life. Tellowtail was appointed superin tendent of the reservation a year ago the first Indian ever to hold a sim ilar position and Immediately out lined his plan, now considered one of the greatest of social experiments for the benefit of the American Indian. It la conservatively estimated that at one time some 60,000,000 buffalo roamed what Is now continental United States'. But with the coming of the white man the buffalo was killed off and In 1902 wal well on the road to complete extinction. In that year Congress appropriated funds for establishing a herd In Yel lowstone park to perpetuate the spe cies. That herd paved the way lor other herds and today there some 4. 400 of the animals In the United States. Canada has a herd of some 17.000. The Yellowstone herd la maintain ed at about 1,000 animals and each year the surplus Is disposed of slaughtered, sent to zoos and Indian agencies. Chief Yellowtall decided to obtain some of these surplus animals and establish a herd for his tribe. He obtained 115 head from Yellowstone and the national bison range herds. This year he wrote: "We have Just completed one of the best fences, made completely of logs, which com pletes the Inclosing of a land-locked area, locked on three sides by preci pitous rock walls and Inclosing an area which will support around 1,000 head winter and summer, using the deep canyons In addition, which have heretofore produced wasted feed. The reservation, with 2, 200 Indians, comprises more than 2,500,000 acres of land, much of It la suitable for Wild animals. "Whenever our herd outgrows the present area," Yellowtall said, "we have another land-locked area where we can put them. I am sure we have demonstrated to the country at large that we are safe and proper persons to entrust the protection of wild life to. Including buffalo, elk and other animals. Reports of visitors to the reserva tion bear out his statement. The In dians apparently are enthusiastic about the game preserve project, con scientlously observing the no poach ing regulations established by Chief Yellowtail. Shipping of the animals to their new home provided the greatest prob lem. After they were brought to the corral in Lamar Valley, Wyo., they were crated and hauled to the reser vation by truck. Such is the buf falo's temperament that It cannot be shipped as are cattle, but must be , placed In an individual crate. Pour crates to the truck la the accepted load.

(UP) One of the worst haiards In coal mining premature explosions Is believed to have been eliminated from Pennsyl vania mine through a discovery made by Andrew Koenlg of Mahanoy City, chief electrician for the Lehigh Valley Coal company. After a clever bit of "sleuthing.- Kocnlg discovered that stray electri cal current In the ground have been responsible for many of the deadly blasts. Koenlg, through the us of precis ion Instruments, traced these ground current to the motor line serving the mines; from overhead trolley wire and from ground wires which carried the current Into the natural conductors of the underground pas sages. A a result of Koenig's discovery, all Lehigh company mines will be made safe by having rubber sections put In air conveyors to prevent them serving as conductors. Wooden fish plate will be Inserted In under ground railroad tracks. Wooden plat forms will be used at the face of gangways. All of these wllUlnsulate against ground currents. As a result, Koenlg says, premature explosions will be eliminated, and the only way a blast of high powered dynamite may be set off Is by the deliberate action of the miner in charge of operations. Details of Koenig's discovery were reported to Lehigh company officials. who ordered the safety measures un dertaken immediately. The state bureau of mine also was notified, and it was Indicated that the safety measure soon would be ordered for every coal mine in Penn sylvania. , No exact figure are available on how many men have been killed by these premature blast. Koenlg made hi important discov ery while investigating the death of a miner at Packer No. 5 mine. The miner had been preparing to fire a charge of dynamite. The wires lead ing to the battery had been discon I netted. When the shot waa ready, a nearby worker saw the miner pick up Just one wire and connect it to the batterv. The terrific blast followed.
