 MT Franzen says that had Krause surrendered it was his purpose to make him lie down or his face and place his hands behind his back. Then he would have directed his wife how to tie the hands and head in such a way that he could have handled him.
 Conscience Does Not Hurt
 q really do not feel remorse." said Mir Franzen, for anything that l did. and the reward money has nothing to do with the feeling. how ever greatly it was needed by my large family. I feel that l did ser vice to society in removing a hu- man being who, at large. was a men ace to all isolated people of South eastern Alaska, people who are sit uated as my own family"
 Mir. FranZen says that the pres ence of an iron bolt in the boat of Krause's made him shudder when he saw it. q thought of the havoc he might have wrought with the mem bers of my family with such weap- on if he had been denied anything about the premises which he might have demanded in my absence" he said
 Resident Since 1905
 Mr. Franzen has been resident of Alaska for twelve years. He came here following his avocation as a sea. faring man. and since locating here permanently. he has followed many lines of work, but constantly getting back to the sea. He is in addition to being a sailor and mariner, a marine engineer and has worked in boiler and machine shops. He was married shortly after his arrival in Nome by Father La Fortune of the Catholic church. He is the father of six children, all of whom are alive.
 Native of Ohio
 He is a native of Ohio of Swedish parents. His father followed the sea, and was a master mariner. but he has relatives in Ohio where his moth CT was at the time of his birth in 1876. His parents are now residents of Tahiti, a French possession in the South Pacific. He has relatives fighting for France in the war in Europe. His ancestry were origin ally French, and went from that country to Sweden, from where they have followed the sea as a trade.
 Man of Courage
 While smaller and lighter muscled than krause and knowing that he would have no chance to win a handtohand encounter with him, Franzen is wiry, alert, intelligent and courageous. He is Al years of age and has always been a hard worker He does not drink. and is lover of law and order and always ready to risk time and life itself in an effort st to render service lss
 More than once during his life as an Alaskan sourdough he has shown steady nerves and resOurcefulness in time of danger At the time of the wreck of the American Bark Cory phene" in August, 1905, Franzen worked for hours in the breakers of Boring Sea with a gasboat to save the crew and two women passengers He landed them safely at Wales Mission. Late in the fall of the same year word came to Nome that man named Selinas was badly in jured at Solomon, 36 miles away. Franzen instantly volunteered to take assistance to the man. and with Dr. Sloane and Father La Fortune

ANOTHER GOOD GAIN
IS MADE BY BRITISH

London. Oct. 30-The British
launched an attack on the Flanders
front this morning. Good progress
was made north OF the fpres-Rou'
lers railroad.
The Germans were driven back to
depth OF 1000 yards at some
points along the Ypres front Early
today the Canadians esta blished
themselves near the famous Crest
farm, only 400 yards from the heart
OF the town OF Passchendaele.
The number OF prisoners taken
Sunday night mounted to IS officers
and nearly 500 OF other ranks. On
the left, where Bellevue spur runs
on TO Passchendaele, with the slimy
stretch OF the Ravbeek valley be-
tween II and Passchendaele ridge,
our men have made slow and stub
born progress through an almost i'm
passable country.
As the results OF the last three
days fighting the Canadians now
masters OF the low slopes to Pass
chendaele have before them strong
enemy positions at the Crest farm
on the left front and Meetchele on
the right. In reply to the enemy's
employment OF gas in the attack
Saturday night our artillery bom-
barded the opposing batteries with
gas shells while for 4S hours our
guns had been maintaining a persis-
tent fire on Passchendaele, Crest
farm and selected strong points.

FIRE

The fire at the Harvey home yes
terday emphasizes the fact that
Grants Pass depends in large meas
ure, upon volunteer fire depart
ment. That II does its work well,
speaks volumes for the personnel Of
that force The time will come
when the city must provide more
generously for such an important
branch Of its service. The fire loss
Of this country is appalling Such
loss Is entire waste and Is largely
preventable by proper fire preven-
tion measures and an adequate fire
fighting equipment
That Grants Pass has not been
visited with a most destructive con-
flagration is due largely to the zeal
and faithfulness Of a few young
men who make up her Inadequate
fire department.

A GOOD THING

We all know that this is Hoover
Week" But do We all know that
1t is also "Pay-Up Week"
The man who started this annual
affair was a genius. He did the bus
fness world a real service. He ap-
preciated the. fact that every
fellow likes to do what
the other fellows are. And he
knew how much more valuable a
dollar is to any community II it is
kept going,-kept at work. The
same dollar that you may use to pay
one OF your bills today. can be used
to help settle score OF outstanding
bills, by each recipient passing It on
to one Of his, creditors.
The man who pays his accounts
monthly as regularly as the first OF
each month comes around. is for
tunate. He has acquired a good
habit. And the man who takes ad-
vantage OF this nationwide move
ment to square up outstanding ac.
counts once year, is only little
less fortunate. Nothing could helr
! the general tone OF. business in this
city more than a wide observance oil
"Pay-Up Week" by her citizens. And
helping business is helping everyone
in the city, helping the state, and ma.
tion.

FACTS ABOUT MEXICO.

Mexico has a population of approx
imately fifteen million and an area OF
| about seven hundred and sixty-five
thousand square miles, more than
three times as large as Germany.
Nineteen per cent of it's people are
white. being for the most part Of
Spanish origin; 3S per cent are Indian
and AZ per cent are of mixed blood
Mestizos, they are called.
The country's political problems
have been due largely to the illiteracy,
the inefficiency and the long oppres-
sioh OF its masses. Whether IL mass.
esare capable of self-government or
will be capable within the present or
the succeeding generation is a serious
question.
Mexico is tabled to have been ruled
in the long ago by superior race
known as the Aztecs. Professor Fred
erick Starr, OF the University OF Chi
cago, who is an authority on the sob.
ject, declares that they were only one
among the scores of warning tribes
whom Cortez found when he marched
inland from Vera Cruz i'll the six
teenth century. The Aztecs, he says,
had an interesting culture which
placed them at the upper level or bar
barism, but no higher. Their one do
nestle. animal, little dog, was fat
tened for food. Apparently. the ma
tive Mexican or tradition was not
more romantic than his present cay
descendant.

A PERPLExED ITALIAN.

Two Italians sought q Jackson,
Miss, lawyer for advice. One had
been in America for years and was
a naturalized citizen. The second he'd
been here only few weeks, could no,
talk English, and was in distress ISL
he should have to return TO SdEhy
Italy and take up arms against tue
Teutons. Number one acted as in
terpreter, and laid the dilemma be-
fore the lawyer, says the Clarion
Ledger.
The lawyer is known for his deep
reading and deeper voice. On this oc,
casion he was highly patriotic.
ASK this man" he directed, "if
he does not know that in the history
cf the world no country has played
a more important role than Italy. Ask
him Ii he realizes that 1t was Italy
that gave to the earth Garibaldi. Ask
him If he has not heard in song and
story of the glorious traditions of an
Client Rome; if in infancy he was not
|tcld OF how well Horatus Kept the
bridge across the Tiber, il he does
|not know the story OF great Pompey
|snd of the immortal Julius Caesar?"
The interpreter made noises for
about ten minutes and advised the
1awyer that the new American was
FAMILIAR with all these things.
ASK him, then. If. remembering
his glorious heritage of being Ro-
nan citizen, once more honorable
han to be nobleman of any other
hation, he is not proud of it, and why
be now wants to shirk this splendid
Epportunity of serving so righteous a
cause"
The interpreter said something,
rho italian replied with shrug. and
Eomething that sounded like. "Chica

he say about it?'
