 The schooner Nokatak, Capt. swan sen, returned to Unalakleet June 10th after a vain attempt to reach Nome. The ice barrier that guards the Nome shore during the winter months was still in place there and the schooner could not find q way to the metropolis Capt. Swansen reported that winter still prevailed along that section of the coast. No water was then run ming and the mountains showed nc spot of green, still retaining the vir- gin purity of winter. He said that lakleet where weary schooner could obtain shelter.
 The river broke here on June and in d couple of days the greater part of the ice had left the shore for good Then the luscious salmon trout ap- peared and fish hunger disappeared The brown of the local gardens hy June 1lth showed sharply against the green of the surrounding country: the potato tops had begun to appear in q couple or gardens; the crisp lettuce was just beneath the surface and the leaves of the nutritious petrowski were kissed by the sunshine Nature is surely kind to this neck of the woods.
 The logs for the new N C. store 70 be erected here are on their way down the river. The building site opposite the road house has been cleared since early June. The roadhouse has been renovating it's department for canincs back of the roadhouse proper and it .is now 2i by 30 feet in dimensions.
 Oscar Hall is acting as agent for the N. c. Co. in the store matter and John Tilty, the well known pros- pector and old timer. is in charge of building operations. The advent of usual shortage of supplies over a large area, as it's central location will enable it to supply any shortage in Kaltas. the koyuk or tnalakleet sections. And with competition there may be a slight chance for the consumer.
 A recent trip of the mail carriers across the portage was delayed several days by high water. The carriers were packing and the trails swere covered with the overflow of the.creeks. com . polling them to take to the hills for three days. They subsisted as best they could on what little food they had in their packs and without shell ter of any kind. They got throuet, alright in spite of the difficulties.

WOMAN AND Z MEN
 SHOT IN GUN FIGHT
Mrs. Ed McClain is Wounded When She Attempts to
 Protect Husband

James Hall, a farmer living near Denmark, about ten miles south of Newport, is perhaps fatally wounded, and both Mr. and Mrs. Ed MeClain, also of Denmark, are slightly wound ed, as a result of a gun fight between Hall and McClain on the road near Denmark Sat 2 urday afternoon.
 The men had had trouble a few days ago over a 14-year- old girl adopted by Hall. On complaint of McClain that Hall was not proper person to have custody of the girl, the county court had taken the girl from him.
 Hall, it is said, became an- gered against McClain and ambushed McClain and the latter's wife while they were returning from Denmark.
 Mr. and Mrs. McClain were in buggy when Mrs. McClaiA saw Hall, she claims, emerge from underbrush along the road. Hall, she says, began firing. one bullet hitting Me Clain in the arm. Mrs. Me Clain, in an effort to protect her husband, threw herself in front of him. A bullet tore off one of her fingers and broke two others. Her hand was so badly injured that it will have to be amputated.
 McClain had drawn a reYoly- CT by that time, and opened fire on Hall. A bullet struck him in the chest and penetrat ed both lungs. Hall fell when shot. He later was removed to his home. His death is eX- pected at any time. Hall is married, and has several mar ried children.

ATTORNEYS ENDORSE
 AMMENDMENT NO. l5
Will Enable Supreme Court to Render More Efficient
 Service it is Said

. cult court room, at Batesville, the attorneys of the Indepen- dence County Bar, together with Judge Coleman and in the presence of the jurors and others, held a public discussion of the proposed amendment No. 15 to the Constitution of Arkansas, which will be sub I'mitted to the voters at the coming election.
 The effect of the amend ment, if adopted, will be to in crease the number of judges of the supreme court from five to seven and to increase the salaries of such judges te $6,000 per year (their present salary being $4,000) with pow CT for the legislature to make reductions later, if deemed proper.
 Practically all of the attor- neys present expressed them selves as being heartily in ia Vor of the amendment and ne one opposed it, The attorneys stated that the volume of busi. ness in the Supreme Court has increased to the point that 1t is impossible for five judges, no matter how ablt they may be, to do the Worl necessary in order that eacl case may receive proper con sideration and an opinion wri ten which will prove a satis factory criterion for future cases involving similar issues and at the same time enable the court to keep up with it. docket and decide case; promptly.
 It is a matter of great i'm. portance to persons being SC unfortunate as to become in. volved in law suits, that theil suits be adjudicated promptly since long delays frequently amount to a denial of justice and it is certainly of great i'm portance to them as well as | the general public that ou1 court of last resort render proper decisions and establish fixed and consistent rules ot law for the future guidance of attorneys and trial courts The law is a progressive sci. ence and it requires the best trained minds of the country to properly construe our star utes and establish rules that are both equitable and consis tent with existing rules, so as not to create confusion anc the judges shouldnot be work ed to the point where they have not the time to give sui ficient consideration to each case. To get and keep men of the character and ability necessary on the supreme bench, we must pay adequate salaries.

TRADE CONVENTION
DEFINES STAND AT
CLOSING SESSION
Delegates Vote For Peace Treaty
Safeguarding American Ideals
And Protecting Rights
trade convention -

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10. - A
peace treaty safeguarding every fun
damental principle of American gov
ernment and fully protecting the
rights of American citizens, to be
put into effect at the earliest possi-
BILE moment, was declared in reso-
lutions adopted today to represent
the sense of the seventh annual Ma
tional Foreign Trade Convention.
Other principles set forth today
at the closing sessions were: Fair
and reasonable opportunity for other
nations to sell their products, espec-
tally raw materials, in the United
States, provided that such sale did
not work to the detriment of homo
industry; encouragement of strong
foreign policy; the merchant marine
to be in private ownership; addi-
tional import duties against nations
discriminating against the United
States; better communication with
foreign countries and better repre-
sentation of American interests over
seas; private operation of railroads.
Necessity of application by the
United States to intensive develop
ment of foreign trade in preparation
of the time when dependence must
be placed on imports rather than
national resources was discussed at
yesterdays sessions. International
trade experts declared the primary
steps in this connection are improve
ment and development of systems
of communication, establishment of
a governmental foreign policy ade-
quately protecting American rights
abroad and private control of ship
