Police officers shuddered when they learned how the boys had tried to get powder from the shells and cartridges by pound ing them on a vice using files and wrenches to open some of the ammunition. The boys told police they climbed a cliff and raided a Fort Lawton ammunition store, and had sneaked aboard navy vessels. The loot included mortar shells, anti-tank rockets, hand grenades and parachute flares, Captain Kimball said. Army omclals said nearly all the stolen explosives had been accounted for but Kim ball said several highly explo sive fuses which could be ignited by ordinary hand temperature or an over-heated room were still missing.

C, Feb. 1 fH) Here's one for the True Detec tive thriller writers to work over. British Columbia police yes terday received a revolver from the customs department which had been seized from a settler. The man told G. A. Yardley, col lector for the port of Victoria, that his wife had been carrying the gun for 30 years. Taking the weapon apart pre paratory to destroying It, police found the following message scratched on the inside of the bakelite hand grips: "This is the gun that shot Crcford at Union, Oregon. Shuting done by . . . Police at Union arc being con tacted to check any record of a shooting Involving the name Cre ford, possibly 30 years ago. Road South Of Merrill Will Be Improved The Klamath county commis sioners have decided to accept a ' Siskiyou county, Calif., proposal that the Siskiyou road depart ment repair and condition the entrance of the Oregon road south of Merrill into the state line highway. That road makes a goose-neck turn Just at the state line high way and County Judge U. . Reeder has estimated that it would cost the county about $20,000 to build a straight con nection to the highway, includ ing a $6000 bridge over an irri gation canal. He states that the commission ers would like to have the con nection made but the added cost was prohibitive at this time. The money can be spent much more effectively on roads elsewhere in the county. The Siskiyou board of super visors have offered to do some work on the turns, keeping fair ly closely to the present road bed, and to keep the entrance oiled. Also a California road directly opposite coming north into the state line highway is to be closed, eliminating a hazard to the much-traveled highway. Judge Reeder pointed out that the decision now in no way binds the county in case it is decided later to build the straight con necting link. According to the New York State Conservation Department, the beaver in only ten of the Em pire State counties represents a capital asset of $3,250,000. Man Held For G.P.
