Show THE RICH COUNTY REaPER, RANDOLPH, Ui DOG PROVES SELF BEST DETECTIVE ON POLICE FORCE u 5 UTAH THRIVES ON TINTIC MINERAL DISCOVERIES Catches Thief; Sent Back for Evidence, Brings Back Loot in Mouth. m Town of Dividend and , Tintic Standard No. 2 Shaft n Ottawa, Ont A huge of one the is Dale named dog most successful detectives in the famous Mountie police force. His exploits fill a full page of the annual report of the force, now issued by the commissioner, Sir James McBrien. Here is a brief catalogue of Dales black-and-ta- feats: Vi ; He has tracked down the murderers of two Mountie policemen Sergeant Wallace and Constable Harrison; Traced a demented man who had caused an explosion in a farmers house by placing a petrol soaked suit of underwear at a cellar door; Found Lost Child. Traced a lost child, Eileen Simpf, after a son, aged two and search party had failed to find her; And, most brilliant of all, Dale not only arrested a thief during the past year but collected evidence to prove his guilt. Stolen goods were found in a car on a roadside. Dale followed tracks leading from the car and caught the thief. Nothing was found on him to prove that he was guilty of the theft. Dale was sent back on the mans trail again and he returned with other articles that had been stolen, in his mouth. In beauty as well as brains, Dale is a credit to the force. He took first prize in his class at the Calgary dog show. Blinding Arctic blizzards, impas-sable walls of ice and rock on land and shifting treacherous ice on the sea are some of the hazards encountered in the daily life of the police constables in the force, the report says. Hazardous Patrol. One patrol of many recounted was undertaken by Corporal Kearney, a constable and an Eskimo. The journey was not a long one compared with many traveled by the northern police. It was from Craig Harbour, Ellesmere island, to Dundas Harbour on Devon island, a distance of about 100 miles as the crow flies. Equipment for the trek consisted of two dog sleds and an ice boat. They found Jones Sound between the two islands open and they made a wide detour across rough- ice. Reaching Devon island they were confronted by sheer cliffs. There was a narrow ledge along the shore fifteen miles in length which would carry them to a sloping glacier. This they hoped to ascend to the inner ice cap 0 Devon island. But after creeping along the narrow ledge for five miles they found it suddenly broken off and a further advance was impossible. Retracing their steps they set out for Cape Sparbo about fifty miles to the west in the hope of finding there a suitable glacier by which to climb to the ice plateau. The glaciers, however, were found entirely inaccessible, and so the journey had to be abandoned despite their heroic attempts to struggle on. By I. E. DIEHL 1 d . : il Worsley, E. M.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME (Continued From Page 1) Utah bankers have gone cm record as opposed to the proposed tax on interest bearing bank deposits as raising measures introduced as committee of nine bills. Several financiers appearing at a pub lie hearing on the bill denounced the proposed deposit tax as impractical, em-reren- unsound and discriminatory. They declared that banks would be financially unable to absorb the tax and that it would be left for the depositors to pay. Many small accounts held by children, widows and aged persons would be affected, they argued. Another objection by the bankers was to divulging confidential informs iton concerning their depositors accounts. as would be required under provisions of the proposed tax. : -- Senators agreed to disagree with the lower house on amendments to H. B. 11. which provides that employers shall pay employes in money or checks on regular stipulated and bulletined paydays. The agreement to disagree came when the house refused to concur in senate amendments to the bill, doing a bit of disagreeing itself. The bill was returned to the solons, who refused to accede. This resulted in appointment of the first 1937 conference committee. There are likely to be more of these committees.
