ATTORNEY E. MEDLEY
 RETURNS FROM INTERIOR

Returning today on the Alamed from a trip to Fairbanks Attorney Ed ward F. Medley expressed himself as highly pleased with the scenic attrac- tons and development possibilities of the Richardson Highway, which he traversed from Valdez to the interior metropolis. Fair weather was expert enced after crossing Thompson's Pass, and the last day on the road saw the thermometer reach IA in the sun.
 Mir Medley spent four days in Fair banks, returning over the Government Railroad, via Anchorage and Seward At Anchorage the people were still talking about the splendid articl, of baseball staged by the Cordova team. Anchorage is we'll sprinkled with for mer Cordovans who were loyal to the home team and cheered for the vis- itors much to the annoyance of some of their neighbors who though that Anchorage should have had their sup port. All the Cordovans in Anchorage seem to be doing we'll and all express warm affection for their old town and it's people.
 MT. Medley was impressd with the future of Seward as the terminus Jr the Government Railroad. Sewar had the best made streets of any town visited due to the availability of fin gravel from the glacier stream which runs through the town and sometimes runs over it. Mel Holben, a former l Cordovan, conducts the principal taurant in Seward and proudly ex- hibits seven-month old baby girl as his most prized possession.
 Referring to Fairbanks, he stated that a California company was using Keystone drill and cross-cutting tn /, valley near Engineer Creek, driving holes every 200 feet, with view to taking up dredging options. Mary i fine farms are blossoming in this dis i trict and fresh vegetables are the rule on the table. Good strawberries are shipped in from Wasilla. Fairbanks is more favored with roads than any other part of Alaska, and in some places they criss-cross in such r2on- ner as to require signposts. The tour ist travel over the Government Rail- road to Fairbanks has been fairly heavy this summer and the hotels have been crowded 'Cordovans," said MT. Medley, "who wish to take an enjoy able 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 traversel, and opportunity afforded to see the Yer ritory's diversified industries at first hand. After taking such trip cue not only has the advantage of better i knowledge of the country, but also will return with an unbounded faith in our town and section as the best part of 1 Alaska"

NOT FOR PRISON REFORM
Major Carl White Lost Two Ex-
pensiye Robes White Attending
Address in Topeka Church.

Major Carl White, OF the adjutant
generals office, had a flock of fine
ideals shattered and torn the other
night. He is now offn the prison re-
form stuff and believes that in ex-
treme cases a parlor bed room with
Telephone and private bath is far too
good for some of the people who frac-
ture the state laws.
Major White drove to a Topeka
church the other night to listen to a
professional prison worker whose good
memory seldom causes him to forget
to pass the contribution box Closing
an impassioned appeal for a helping,
brotherly hand to the poor fellow who
is doing time for bank robbery, muir
der or assault, the orator begged his
audience to dig and dig deep. Major
White put good healthy donation in
the collection box 1t was a worthy
cause and he felt deeply his respon-
sibility to help mankind when it
bumps into bad luck, evil associates
and temptation.
Leaving the church Major White
headed right for the spot where he
had parked his faithful car without
holding any suspicion against his
neighbor, Major White had locked the
car and put the key in his pocket
probably thru force of habit. So the
car was right where he left it But
two fine robes were missing.
Now Major White is going into the
Christmas holidays minus the expen-
s.ve robes and with big hole in the
Christmas fund because of his gener-
Gus hearted gift to help improve the
unfortunates of the underworld.

FIGHT FOR PARNNGS
Motorists in Mad Scramble for
Places on Kansas Avenue
Christmas Shoppers Stand on
Each Others Toes in Stores.

1t was a busy hour for tne down
town shops and the Christmas Gus
toners were standing on each others
toes in the stores and thinking a lot
OF things which are banned in every
good Christian home-even tho folks
never say them out loud. Out on
Kansas avenue the motorists were
fighting for parking space and jock
eying for position in th6 late after
noon traffic.
A big blue car drew away from the
curb line in the shopping district at
Ninth and Kansas avenue. The driver
of long. lean. low, uuderslung green
gas devil slipped right past the park
ing space before 1t was observed.
Then the driver stopped and began
backing into the traffic to win the
pocket in the long line of cars.
For a full minute the driver of the
green car shifted gears and was just
pointing the nose of his machine
toward the curb when the driver of
a little maroon coupe slipped out of
the busy traffic and grabbed the park
ing spot 1t was ANOTHER minute be-
fore the owner of the green car was
lost in the whizzing line of holiday
shoppers. The things which the re-
cordfng angels heard from the green
car, tho. were never intended for use
by people who are filled with the true
spirit of the Christmas time.

Sault Ste Marie. Dec. 20.-A week
may elapse before all of the survivors
of the Inflated tug Reliance are able
to, travel to their homes, SO intense
was their suffering from cold and
hunger after their tiny craft was dis
abled and abandoned at the Lizard
islands, it was said here today. The
twenty persons who reached here last
night are under the care of physi-
clans and will remain at a hospital
and at hotels until they have fully re-
covered. One man has both hands
and both feet frozen.
With the arrival of these survivors,
the thirty-six on board the Reliance
when she was disabled have been ac-
counted for. Seven reached the 500

Suffered Great Hardships.
Yesterdays arrivals suffered great
hardships before they were found
Monday on one of the bleak islands
near the Canadian shore.
The. first day after the wreck
brought the death of three of their
mpanions-Captain John McPher-
son, Fred Regan and Gus Johns-who
were swept overheard as they tried
to launch a life boat. Only one of the
boats got away safely. 1t carried the
eight men and one woman who
reached the mainland last week.
The following day it became ap
parent the Reliance could not long
Withstand the pounding of the high
sea and raft was constructed of
barrel slaves and a striaway torn
from the tug. The storm ragged so
fiercely that little hope of landing on
the raft was entertained until William
Cow, a fireman, SWAN seventy-five
yards to the islands, thru the icy
water, and stretched line along
which the raft was pulled 1t was a
periIous trip even for the seventy-five
yards, and only three persons could
board the raft at a time The entire
day was required for the party to dis
embark.
Temperature Below Zero.
On land, they still faced dangers as
great as those on the raging water of
Superior. The temperature was below
zero, there was no shelter and only
the scantiest of food supplies. Con-
tiuued cold weather might block ef
until too late.
But they existed for five days on
a few cans of meat, two slices of bread
each and scraps of water-soaked cake
brought from the tug. A fire in the
open and hut constructed of brush,
the storm that continued during their
entire stay on the island.
The storm abated yesterday but
severe cold weather continues and all
craft on the upper lakes are making
headway with great difficulty Only
one vessel remains to pass thru the
American locks, which probably will
be closed for the season today or to-
morrow. The Canadian canals will re- |
main open until the end of this week

Emile Benso, at the home of the lat
ter in Capaldo Sunday night but he
did 1t in defense of his mother, ana
himself. coroner's jury decided here

Evidence at the inquest bore out the
story which Carl told after he had
surrendered himself to the officers
Sunday night Briefly this was to the
effect that the elder Benso had gone
home intoxicated and declared his III
tention of killing Mrs. Benso, exhibit
ing a knife which he said he would
use. A younger son went to the home

a gun. Carl shot his father seven
times, with the small revolver. and

volver with which he again shot the
