 The above estimate IS based. of ceurse, cn the production in Vest efl5t Al&saM.
 In Southeastern Alaska there is m abundance of fish, according to reports from canneries in the Juneau district and those from the Ketohi- kan region.
 1t is said that with many can neries the problem is to get labor for the canneries to handle all the fish caught and not, as it has often been heretofore, to get sufficient quantity of fish.
 Several canneries have already ordered additional cans and boxes in order to put up a larger pack than was anticipated at the beginning of the season.
 It is estimated that the pack of the numerous canneries in the Ju- neau district is from 50 to 100 per cent larger than at this time last year,

Pythias No. 20, are again supervis-
ing the Community Christmas tree
which will be given this year on De-
cember 22 in the Parish House. J..
L. Gump is treasurer of the Christ
mas tree fund and has a force of
collectors out getting donations from
the "Goodfellows" of Glenns Ferry.
This idea of Community Christmas
tree for Glenns Ferry was started
some years ago by an engineer on
the o. S. l.. r. r. who today is con-
fined in our state institution at
Blackfoot, having become feeble
minded. Curiously enough in the
Sunday Statesman an article ap-
peared on this institution and his
case is referred to as being a pas
senger engineer" and having run by
signal at so miles an hour. None
was a freight engineer and never
had any trouble whatever. He was
well thought of by everybody in the
Ferry and trusted employee of the
Short Line until his mind began to
fail and each year at the time of
the Community tree, Duke" as he
was known long before this trouble,
is remembered by the people of
Glenns Ferry through their commit
tee on the annual Christmas tree. /
This is the second year that the X. of
P. have undertaken this affair and
they decided at a meeting recently
held that they would make it an
annual affair.

MANY HUNTERS
OUT FOR DUCKS

Many Mountain Home sportsmer
hiked to the rivers and sloughs last
Sunday in the hopes of bagging the
festive ducks. A large number went
over in the Bruneau and Little Val
ley neighborhoods, but the bags re-
ported were small There does not
seem to be as many birds migrating
this year as usual, and the bags are
mostly at the expense of the "home-
steader" ducks ~ those who were
Matched in the neighborhood where
they met their fate. The season on
waterfowl will end Dec. 81, and
there will be no open season on any
kind of birds until the sage hen sea-
son opens August /.

FERRY STORES

Why Go To Boise For
"Giveables"
PYTHIANS BACK
COMMUNITY TREE
Trustees Go Ahead With Sewer Or
dinance - Stores Decorate for

Railroad-Ferry Locals
Glenns Ferry.

Friday morning we were called to
our door and handed what at first
appeared to be a new type of "Saucy
Stories" or some cheap blood and
thunder weekly magazine gotten out
as a Christmas number.
However, we thought there was
something fishy about the whole busi-
ness, for the representative did not
ask us to subscribe but just handed
us a copy free of charge. After
thanking the gentleman for his kind
ness and closing the door, we took
another glance at the cover and dis
covered these words, Come to Boise
for your Christmas shopping" Now
amt that the limit, just as though
we hadn't any stores of our own to
support in which we can find just
as good, if not better, gifts for our
money at Christmas than any that
can be found in the big city of Boise,
plus hotel, eats and railroad fare.
Why, they haven't even got that cut
off fixed yet and it still takes three
hours one way to go by train and
that Boise local is the most uncom-
Portable train on the o. S. L. R. R.
Besides we believe in supporting our
own merchants and keeping our hard
earned money at home.
Boise may have 'its scores of
stores and shops, great variety and
assortments of giveables-whatever
they may be- (and they may have
"made special preparations" Ito take
our money! "for Christmas, 1929"
but what do we care? We have our
Tingwall Store, our Glenns Ferry |
Mercantile Store, Ferry Drug Store,
Ferry Furniture Store, Orr's Variety,
Martins Jewelry, Purtill's Millinery,
Knox Butchery, Maxwell Cash Gro
Gerry, Ferry Bakery, Rosevear Hard
ware, Hamilton's Shoe Shop, Idaho
Power Co., Gilbert & Cooper's gents
furnishings, Powder Puff Beauty
Parlors, Glenns Ferry Bank (as
sound as the rock of Gibraltar; it has
never busted) and a hundred and
one other "stores and shops" in
which to buy our Christmas gifts.
Then why in the name of goodness
go to Boise? 1t don't sound reason
able, do it now? Surely the popula-
tion of Boise is large enough to sup
port its own ''scores of stores and
shops without asking the people
of Glenns Ferry to help EN-! OF
course we all know that Glenns Fer
ry is the biggest little town" in the
West today and if they have too
many stores in Boise to support we
still have room for few more here
and they had better locate in good {
town. Why, do you know that by
next year we'll probably be inviting !
the people of Boise to come down
and look over our merchants stock
Of Christmas goods before they make
any foolish selections at home.

STARS AND MASONS
ENJOY EVENING

The Eastern Star issued cards tc
the Masonic orders last week bear
ing this message:
"The Eastern Stars and husbands,
The Masons and their wives,
Will meet again in the Masons hall
And mirth and laughter will arise.
The Classics" in their aprons
OF any shape and color,
The "laddies" in their overalls
Will laugh with one another"
This brought forth a happy crowd
in aprons and the merriment ran
highest when the door opened and
the Overall parade" came in. Each
had been his own tailor and the re-
suits, in brightest cretonne, were
most effective. The evening was
spent in dancing.

Work slaokens

Work is quite slack again now on
the road and many of our people
have been dropped from their regu-
lar runs, rail business having fallen
off. Some who held engines are now
back firing and those who were con-
ductors have returned to braking,
and so goes the everyday life of
the raiIroader Quite few have left
for other points, where their senior
ity will count and they can obtain
work. Once again we say, if anyone
thinks that railroading is a snap,
why, go railroading! Get big pay
and long lay-off's without it!

of these, so that the water master
can, in case of trouble, locate them

AXEL MALCOLMSON
FROZEN TO DEATH
Big Hearted Hill City Rancher Takes
Wrong Turn in Storm and
Loses His Life

Big-hearted Axel Malcolmson, a
rancher near Hill City, is dead.
His lifeless body was found by
anxious searchers Saturday morning
Dec. s, on the east slope of Lookout
Mountain, where he had wandered
during the storm of Dec. 6.
Mr. Malcolmson, in company with
Paul Lockman, had started from the
Lockman ranch for Hill city,
where they expected to get some oil
stay all night and return the next
day. When Wild Horse hill was
reached, however, the car could not
make the grade, and after fruitless
trials, Mr.. Lockman decided that he
would walk back to his ranch, about
TWO miles distant. Axel stated that
ne would try to get the car started,
and if he failed to do 50. would re-
turn on foot to his ranch, about three
miles west of where the car was
stalled
Evidently the unfortunate man
had given up the job of trying to
set the car to going, had drained the
radiator, and started for home.
About this time the storm broke in
III it's fary, and Axel had evidently
made wrong turn. When his body
was found it was over eight miles
from where he had started. His trail
was easily distinguished. AT one
)oint he had come to a wire fence
and had followed this for about a
mile and a half showing that at this
point his mind was still working
1learly When the body was found
4 was at the bottom of a gulch where
he had fallen and rolled into a bunch
Of quaking asps, the scratched fea-
lures telling the story clearly. Evil
IDENTIFY Malcolmson was stunned by
the fail and must have been terribly
exhausted in addition, and Death
reached out his icy fingers and took
him home.
Coroner Gilmore ottenheimer was
at once summoned, and Sheriff Stew
ems notified. Some of the neighbors
feared that the man had met with
foul play, so an autopsy was held,
Drs. Higgs of Hill City and Hamil-
ton of Mountain Home conducting
same. They reported to the coroners
Jury that the deceased had died of
exposure, and the jury returned
verdict in accordance with this re-
port - death from exposure while
lost
Alex Malcoimson was one of the
best known men in this section of
he country, and was well acquaint-
ID in Mountain Home, where he had
many friends. His tragic end will
,ause sorrow among those who knew
lin best. AS one Mountain Home
nan said: "Axel Malcolmson was
me of the best-hearted men that
3od ever allowed to live"
Axel's daughter, about 20 years
# age, was one OF the most tireless
earchers for the missing man, and
eemed endowed with the strength
# many men. It is estimated that
he unfortunate man travelled over
miles in his wanderings before
uccumbing to his fate.

THE COLD SNAP
rs GENERAL

The cold snap which has been on
tap in the Mountain Home locality
for the past week has been pretty
general over the West, although the
mercury has not gone down to an
alarming extent. The young folks
over in the Bruneau country are now
enjoying skating on the sloughs west
of the town, and in short time there
will be skating ice in this vicinity if
the weather does not warm up in the
meantime. Up to the present the
weather here has been grand-cIear
and crisp
