April 19-Well entrenched in his gold mining claim on the bank of the Columbia River, John Loepp, pioneer prospector, with a leveled gun stopped Goodfellow Brothers, contractors, from starting work on a $6,000 city sewer job.

City Engineer Fred Sharkey said he could find no legal record of a mining claim there and ordered work to go ahead yesterday. Contractors ask that Loepp be placed on a peace bond, but he Is well armed and well fortified and declares he will shoot the first man who comes on his claim. Piospects Good Says Premier Mr. Brownlee of Alberta Visits His Parents At Brigden BRIGDEN, April 19. On a brief holiday with his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. W. J. Brownlee, in this -village. Hon.

J. E. Brownlee. Premier of Alberta, stated that Western Canada, particu-i larly the people In his own province, are looking forward to good crops this year and feel fairly confident that the trying days are about over. With 90 percent of last year's Western Canada wheat crop sold, of which 35.000.000 bushels were handled through the pool agency, the prospects are bright for an excellent yield in the northern part of the province this year, he states.

Premier Brownlee said, however, that recent heavy rains in the southern section of Alberta had interfered somewhat with seeding operations. He was informed by long-distance telephone that the recent duststorms had caused no apparent damage to the crops In the province, although damage was reported in Saskatchewan. The former Brigden boy is of the opinion that business is on the upward trend, although it may take a period of several years to again reach the stage of prosperity existing before the depression first set in. The Alberta premier reached his parents home from Ottawa, where he attended conferences with the Federal Government. Today he will take the train at Sarnia for Winnipeg, where he is scheduled to address the Winnipeg Board of Trade on Friday night.

He expects to reach his home in Edmonton on Sunday. Asks Privacy For Inquiry Denies New Contact With Kidnappers Made By Jafsie Li nd Makes Plea 0 I Don't Attempt to Trail His Emissaries, Flier Requests By I'iDrI Irrsa HOPEWELL. N. April 19. Col.

He potnted out the difficulty encountered by himself and hi agents In activity to return hi son due to reporters' tenacity in continued following of our representatives. The statement, which was more of a personal message to the press, than a news bulletin, said: The continued following of our representatives by members of the press Is making it extremely difficult. If not Impossible, to establish contact with whoever is in possession of our son. The publication of the demands for additional ransom, which have never been made, and of amounts which we are unable to pay, can cause nothing but greater difficulty. RIVER, April 19.
