every employee of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis railroad as Our Friend En-
ma" Her story reads like the tale of
a modern superwOman in business. In

law department of the railroad. She
rose steadily until, today, she has been
appointed assistant secretary of the
road, an honor conferred on only one

 INSURED FOR $2,0OO
Beautiful Canvas Completed and Is the Recipient of Much
 Admiration

Awaiting the unveiling ceremony and standing out as wonderful mas terpiece, the picture of Mount Mckin- ley, painted by Sydney Laurence, is now complete in MT. Laurences s studio, where it has been viewed by many admirers of his distinctice art. The Parent-Teachers' Association, through whose auspices the canvas will be presented to the Anchorage schools on April IA, have insured the S5,OOO painting for $2,000. MT. Laur- ence, with natural modesty, has from time to time deprecated his munifi- cence, but the cost to the Parent Teachers Association has been re- duced to purchasing the canvas on which the picture was painted, paying for the frame, and a few minor es- sentials. When the picture is unveiled it will be accompanied by a program in which the children of the schools will participate. The handsome work of art is approximately four feet six by six feet six and is considered one of Mr. Laurence's best. Among those to visit the studio to admire the pie ture is Colonel J. G. Steese, who is a great admirer of art, and who spent several hours with MT. Laurence last evening admiring the fine collection of pictures in the studio at the An chorage hotel.-Anchorage Times.

CAPT.LATHR0P BREAKING INTO
 SCREEN WORK
Editor Thompson Wants to Rescue Old-Timer
 From Movie Fever

In another column we allow the
 romantic spacefiller of the Anchorage Times to paint a picture of the
 Roof of the Continent, which is
 Mount Mckinley, which said picture is a thing we didn't believe any ar
 tist could paint. It is a rare and beautiful work of are, imaginative art, which no reader of this paper, unless it be some inexperienced boy
 who is in love and hasn't a cold in his or her head, could believe to be true to Nature, although, as everyone I knows, Nature is wonderful-ain't it.? It is the fearfully and wonderfully made camera-portrait of Captain Lathrop and a bunch of Hollywood movie "artists" out in the wilds at Marinos Roadhouse, in the shade of the top of the continent, pulling off intensely exciting dogteam races in six feet of virgin snow (never beaten trail within miles) on a "peak" which is in the act of thrust ing it's mighty topmostest five miles into the Infinite," at a temperature never gets to 60 below at the North Pole) with Captain Lathrop in a skin parka battling on the topmost crag with Sir Reginald Frozenface, the William in the piece, for the virtue and safe conduct of Gertrude de Courcenay (Maggie Muchay in pri- vate life) while Gertrude (Mag) stands by with bated breath (bait from Anchorage) dressed in near sable, near parka, silk stockings and pumps of gauge, skirt knee length, 1 (SO below, rememberD and just then they turn a mighty river loose under the bridge at Curry, freeze it in the turning and then overflow it, and Prof. OOompha direct and they "shoot" 10000 feet of film! Amt Nature wonderful!
 Conditions which no man can over- come take all the joy out of life, most of the time Captain Lathrop is our friend, and we would go to ] any length the Father of Family could go to save Caps Fair Name and Fame. If we could find a min ute that we had one hand free from handkerchief long enough to sign on the dotted line for ticket which would take us to Mckinley Park, we would go out and rescue Cap if we had to rescue him with an axe. That aint no nice thing to put on real old-timer like Cap. Ii our blamed airship was here, which it won't be for a fortnight, we would tune it up and take our life in the hand the busy handkerchief isn't in and fly to Caps rescue. But, what with the grippe and the missing air ship, 'neverything, we have got to leave our friend in the air where he has projected himself-we can't help him, much as we would like to. l He's old enough to know better and if he doesn't and at his age wishes to rush into danger at an hour when 1 it is difficult or impossible for any of his friends to keep their nose clean he's gotta take what is coming to him.

q. CLAIR COUNTY
 PROVIDES FUND TO ERADICATE TICKS
Jefferson Spends s203,848 in Fight Since 1915, Dr.. Cameron Says--1923
 Money Assured

Belief that the county board of revenue will make appropriations for the fight on cattle ticks in Jefferson county during the year 1923 was heightened Saturday. Cooperation on the part of adjoining counties was one of the conditions made by tho board of revenue when pr. w. w. Cameron, who has charge of the work in Jefferson county, appeared before it with a request for an appropria- tion of s25,00O. Dr. Cameron stated Saturday that he had received word that the board of revenue of St. Clair county had made an appropria- tion of s4,O00 for the work in 1925.
 MT. Cameron added that he under stood that Shelby county, which has been under quarantine for two years, is anxious to start dipping it's cattle in an effort to rid them of the ticks. This leaves Bibb county to be heard from and MT. Cameron said he be- lieved the recent change in county administrations would make for the appropriation of money to fight the ticks there.
 Statements that more than s500,o0o had been expended by the county since 1915 in appropriations for tick eradication were denied by MT. Cam eron, who submitted figures from the office of the bureau to prove his con tention. According to the records in the bureau office, Jefferson county has spent but $203,S4S.3S for tick eradication work. Since 1910 the fed eral government has spent $22,734 fighting ticks in Jefferson county. while since 1915 the state has ex- pended S7,571.22 and the county $203,- S4S.39.
 Use of Vats Cut
 Mir Cameron stated that of the 21O vats for dipping cattle in Jeffer- son county 1t would be necessary to use but 50 during the year 1923. The county is now 75 per cent free of ticks. he said, while the Bessemer cut off, in which he worked in 1922. is 95 per cent rid of them. There were 50 per cent less ticks in the county in 1922 than in 1921, he continued
 MT. Cameron said he had no doubt but what the appropriation would be made eventually. He did say, how ever, that if he had the appropriation at the present time he could have the vats which will be used this year cleaned for half what 1t will take later in the season when farm work opens up. According to the latest in formation available concerning the stand of the board of revenue on the tick fund the appropriation will be carried by a vote of 3-2. It is be- lieved that Lacy Edmundson. W. B. Copeland and Jere Gwin will favor the appropriate while Thomas F.. Huey and D. c. Ball. president of the board. will oppose it. The vote Is ex- pected some time in February.
 If the appropriation is not made it is understood that no effort will be made to mandamus the board to pro- vide funds for the work, although the law contains such a remedy. It is said that failure on the part of the board Of revenue to grant the neces- sary money to carry on the work will result in the county being quaran- tined. If this Is done the railroads will be notified not to accept cattle for delivery in Jefferson county or routed through the county.

GULF STATES CO.. EARNINGS AT RATE.
 IF S11 PER SHARE.
Republic Iron and Steel Mak- ing Better Showing. Quarterly Dividend
 Is Declared

The Gulf States Steel company's current earnings are at an annual rate of between $11 and SIP share on the $11,152,000 of common stock, according to financial journals. The Gulf States was among the very first of industrial concerns to get back to black ink in its quarterly show ings last year.
 Referring to Gulf States earnings, the Wall Street Journal says:
 Net in the fourth quarter of 1922, after taxes and depreciation, was close to S370,000, which would be equivalent, after allowing for divi- dend on the S2.000000 first preferred stock. to about $3 a share on the common, compared with S1.90 a share in the third quarter. $1.7o in the second and 40 cents in the first.
 "On basis of above estimate for last quarter, with allowance for pos sible year adjustments, total net for common in 1922 would be between S650 and $750 share. This would compare with a loss after preferred dividends of s731,91 in 1921 and sur plus for the common of $5.44 a share in 1920.
 Plants are operating virtually at capacity"
 Republic Dividend.
 The Republic Iron and Steel com pany is also making better show ing. It has declared a quarterly divi- dend of A per cent on the preferred stock payable March IS. This divi- dend was passed on 1922. Chairman Topping is quoted as saying that net profits for the quarter ending De- cember 31 were about double divi- dend requirements on the preferred stock and that the outlook for busi- ness and earnings was encouraging.
