ATTORNEY MEDLEY TELLS
 OF TRIP ID THE INTERIOR
(Cordova Timesl

Returning today on the Alameda from a trip to Fairbanks, Attorney Ed ward F. Medley expressed himself as highly pleased with the scenic attrac tions and development possibilities of the Richardson Highway, which he laversed from Valdez to the intoricr metropolis. Fair weather was expf"i- enced after crossing ThUmnsOn's Pass and the last day on the road saw the thermometer reach 114 in .ha sun.
 MT. Medely spent four days in Fair banks, returning over the Government itairoad, via Anchorage andsSeWard. At Anchorage the people were still talking about the splendid article O. baseball staged by the CordoTa team. Anchorage is well-sprinkled with for mer Cordovans who were loyal to the hometeam and cheered for visitors much to the annoyance of some ot their neighbors who thought that An chorage should have their support All the Cordoyans in Anchorage seem to be doing well and all express a warm affection for their old town and it's people
 Mr. Medley was impressed with the future of Seward as the terminus of the Government Railroad. Seward had the best made streets of any town visited due to the availability of fine gravel from the glacier stream which runs near the town. Mel Holben, for mer Cordovan, conducts the principal restaurant in Seward and proudly ex- hibits a seven-month old baby girl as his most pGized possession.
 Referring to Fairbanks, he stated that a California company was using Keystone drill and cross-cutting the valley near Engineer Creek, driving holes every 200 feet, with view of taking up dredging options. Many fine farms are blossoming in this district and fresh vegetables are the rule on the table. Good strawberries are ship ped in from Wasilla. Fairbanks is more favored with roads than any other part of Alaska, and in some places they criss-cross in such man Nner as to require signposts. The tour ist travel over the Government Rail road to Fairbank has been fairly heavy this summer and the hotels have been crowded. "Cordovans," said MT. Med ley, "who wish to take an enjoyable vacation, can do no better than take the railroad to Chitina, go over the Richardson Highway to Fairbanks, on out over the Government Railroad The heart of Alaska is traversed and opportunity afforded to see the Terri tory's diversified industries at first hand. After taking such trip one not only has the advantage of a better knowledge of the country, but also will return with an unbounded faith in our town and section as the best part of Alaska

REPAIRING FIRE. ALLEY

Yesterday afternoon the work of re- pairing the fire alley was commenced, a crew of men removing the rotten planking, carting it away and filling in the driveway with gravel.

COUNCIL GROVE ROBBERIES
Missouri Pacific and Katy Passenger
Stations Looted,

Council Grove, Kan, Dec. S0.-Ad-
ditional guards put on by the officers
of this city following the fires be-
lieved to be of incendiary origin the
last three days, failed to prevent
yeggmen from robbing the Missouri
Pacific freight depot and the Mis-
souri,. Kansas & Texas passenger sta
ton here Friday night.
The yeggman escaped with only
about s1O0 all told, but considerable
damage was done to the offices and
the buildings. The stations are To-
Gated in another part of town from
where the special guards were sta
toned, and the yeggman had no oppo-
sition in their work. No one heard
the explosions which apparently re-
suited from the blowing up of the
safes, and no trace of the robbers has
been found.
Both agents had made deposits Fri
day afternoon, and as a, result the
safes were almost empty.
Wedding presents in a truck at the
Missouri Pacific depot were stolen
from Mr.. and Mrs. William Ruggles,
jr.. of Winfield. This couple had just
been married Christmas day, and were
shipping their presents to Winfield.

FOR The FARMER
Rep. w. e. Archer Has "Ear
to the Grass Roots"
Urges Elimination of Useless
Public Boards and Employees.

Hiawatha, Kan, Dec. 30.-With IAN
ear to the grass roots" w. E. Archer.
Hiawatha attorney, who will repre-
sent Brown county in the lower house
of the 1923 Kansas legislature, has
been endeavoring to ascertain what
proposed legislative measures are ia
vored by the farmers of Brown coun-
ty-one of the richest agricultural
sections in the state.
THE farmers of this section are not
demanding any special legislation that
would aid them financially thru per-
Sonal loans or credits" said Mr.. Arch
er. Summarized, the following eX-
presses the sentiment of farmers gem
orally, Mr.. richer asserted:
Against issuance of state bonds (ex-
cept for bonus).
For reduction of appropriations.
For elimination. OF useless public
boards and employees.
Against issuance of bont by county
boards of commissioners without sub
mission of proposition to voters
public school districts.
Apprehensive aUov, any law being
enacted which would facilitate the
construction of hard surface roads,
Many believe the automobile Ii
cense tax is too high.
Favor taxation of municipal bonds,
now tax exempt.
Revision of mortgage law, to make
owner of property mortgaged pay
taxes only on the portion of property
he owns.
Reconsideration of property for tax
assessment.
Scaling down contingent funds to
various state officers and departments
To Reduce Number of Employees.
wherever W. can 1 am in favor of
reducing the number of public en-
ployes." said Representative Archer.
II have thought of a plan, but have
not worked it out as to details, where
by in place of sending 4 different in
spector out for every line of business,
that the state might be divided in dis
tricts, with a resident state inspector
to look after several lines of business.
As 1t is at the present time a state
inspector in one line will come into
another part of the state will come
the next day, until the inspection of
different lines of business required to
be inspected is complete. 1 never
have seen any very good reason why
a man who comes to inspect hotels
might not possibly have sense enough
to inspect a barber shop or a grocery
or feed store"
During the campaign Representa-
tive Archer made the industrial court
an issue. "I figured my announce.
ment for the industrial court would
cost me 500 votes in my old home
town of Horton, where 500 Rock
Island shopmen were on strike, and
it did said Attorney Archer. 1T am
not adverse to the sug sestion that the
industrial court be consolidated with
some other board or commission with
a view to making it just as workable
the principle of the Industrial court
law"

the number of cases for December.
the number will be a little less than
in 1921. A total of 2,29S persons
visited the clinic for treatment or ad-
vice for social diseases in 1921.
A total of 1885 visits were made
to the clinic during the eleven

eleven was November. when 377 per-
sons visited that department of the
city board of health. october was

The second largest number of visits
were to the baby clinics. A total of
AL visits were made to the clinic for
tuberculosis. 263 for skin diseases,
159 for nervous and mental diseases.
Taking the number who visited the
clinic in other months as an estimate,
the total for the year will be close to
1855. In 1921 the total visits to the
clinic were 1852.

The work of Margaret Forbes has

papers have paid high tribute to her
pleasing work, The Kansas City Star
has this to say: Miss Margaret
Fowler showed herself one of the
most gifted musicians of Kansas City.
She gave thoroly satisfying account
of herself in a program that was ex-
acting enough technically and tenn
peram entaliy to test the capacity of
an experienced concert artist. There
is a distinguished quality about her
playing that from the first bar leaves
one in no doubt as to her perform

January. For the eleven months of
1922. tho. the loss in Kansas has
been within S147,197 of the states
fire waste for the entire year of 1921.
Considering the fact that the greatest
loss last year occurred in December,

that there have really been no big

In the twelve months OF 1921 the
states loss thru fire was S5,3O1.2 .203.
For the eleven months of 1922 the
loss has totaIed S5.153.SO6. The De-

included the big Rose Trunk factory

for this month prove equal to those
