ALASKA ONCE TROPICAL,
 BELIEF OF THE ENGINEER

Replying to questions last night, Enginer Lukens, who has explored ex- tensively in the Arctic regions, de- clared he was in agreement with the belief of many geologists, upon the testimony of physical facts which he had observed. that the whole northern region, including all of Alaska, in pre- historic times was a tropical country, teeming with the animal and vegetable life of that period. The planetary poles changed. He found, in his eX- explorations, places north of the Arc tic circle where great herds of tropi- cal animals perished in the glacial sweep from the north. Even at the base of Mount Mckinley, he said, can be found the tropical grasses and sea weed and many other evidences of past tropical life, and that region is high and dry today.

proposition. Mr.. Long, Jr, came to
me with this proposal; he asked
that accept the endorsement of the
Republican Executive committee
for deputy collector, and assured
me that would receive the appoint
ment. The plan was for me to hold
the position until the Rockingham
postoffice vacancy should occur, and
then to resign in favor of w. F.
Long, ST., and that he wv. F. Long,
Jr.,) would have his father appoint
ed to fill out my uneXpired term anu

port and see to it that / receive the

down. Later the Executive commit
tee was called together to pass on
the applicants for the various offices
in the county. In this meeting the
different applicants for the Ellerbe
postoftice were heard and Mr.. Wal
ter Hogan was endorsed for the Ell
lerbe job. The question of the Ham
let office was taken up and consider
ed and Mr.. Dabbs, of Hamlet, was
endorsed. The office of deupty col
lector was also before the commit
tee and it was at this point that Mr.
Long, Jr,, called me from the meet
ing and again tried to get me to
accept his former proposal in refer
ence to the office of deputy collector
and rehearsed his former PROPOSE
ton and assured me that if | would
accept his offer that he would have
the Executive committee endorse me
for the Rockingham postoffice:
Again | refused, whcreupon Mr..
Long went back into the meeting
and had the matter tabled, stating
that it would come up at a later
date.
Later Mr.. Long informed me
that if he. failed to get the position
which he was fighting for bhat he
could not give me his endorsement
Tor the Rockingham postoffice. My
reply was, why, Walt, you have
told me several times that you did
not want the postoftice!" His reply
in substance was this: I do not
know that will want it now, but
| might want it for sul..e of my peo-
pie. He stated that he HAD spent
SO much money trying to build up
party that he felt like he should
have the revenue from the Rocking
nam postoffice, and that by giving it
to some one of his family he could
so arrange it. then told Mr.. Long
that was not in favor of any such
arrangement, but that if he wanted
the office in his OWN NAME to saw
