been subtly attacked. A doubt had been cast upon his eapability of exe- cutting the duties of immigration in- spector to the best advantage of the state. Bedding divined that this was only an entering wedge. The Glasses were bent upon driving him out of Forlorn River; but, perhaps to serve better their own ends, they were pro- ceeding at leisure. Bedding returned home consumed by rage. But he con trolled it. For the first time in his life he was afraid of himself. He had his wife and Nell to think of; and the old law of the West had gone for ever.
 Dad, there's another Roias round these diggings," was Nells remark, after the greetings were over and the usual questions and answers passed.
 Belding's exclamation was cut short by Nell's laugh. She was serious Wltb kind of amused contempt

 Nell, you may as well tell him and have it over" said Mrs. Bedding, quietly.
 "Well, if you weren't such a good old blind dad you'd have seen long ago the way Mr. Radford Chase ran round after me. At first 1t was only annoying, and 1 did not want to add to your worries. But these two weeks you've been gone I've been more than annoyed. After that time 1 struck Mir. Chase with my quirt he made all pos Sible efforts to meet me. He did meet me wherever 1 went. He sent me let ters till I got tired of sending them back. He followed me until il was less embarrassing for me to let him walk with me and talk his head off. He made love to me. He begged me to marry him. I told him I was al- ready in love and engaged to be mar ried He said that didn't make any difference. Then I called him fool.

at1ons. He wanted to think over the situation. Next morning he went out to the valley to see for himself. Mex jeans were hastily erecting adobe houses upon Ladd's one hundred and sixty acres, upon Dick Gales, upon Jim Lash's and Thornes, There were men stalking the valley floor and the river bed. That was sufficient for Bedding He turned back toward town and headed for the camp of these intruders.
 He came to a big tent with a huge canvas fly stretched in front, under which sat several men in their shirt sleeves. They were talking and smok- Ing.
 My names Beliing. I want to see this Mr. Chase" said Bedding, gruf1ly.
 SloW-Witted as Bedding was, and ab- sorbed in his own feelings, he yet saw plainly that his advent was disturbing to these men. One of them, Il tall, rugged man with sharp face and shreWd eyes and white hair, got up and offered his hand.
 "rm Chase, senior" he said. "My son Radford Chase Is here somewhere. You're Bedding, the line inspector, take it? I meant to call on you
 He seemed a rough-and- ready, loud spoken man, withal cordial enough.
 "Yes, I'm the inspector" replied Bedding, ignoring the proffered hand, 'and I'd like to know what in the h--l you mean by taking up land claims-staked ground that belongs to my rangers?"
 Land claims?' slowly echoed Chase, studying his man. "Were talk Ing up only unclaimed land.'
 That's a He. You couldn't miss the stakes"
 "Wen, Mir Bedding, as to that, I think my men did run across some staked ground. But we recognize only squatters. If your rangers think they've got property just because they drove few stakes in the ground they're much mistaken. A squatter has to build house and live on his land so long. according to law, before he owns 1t"
 This argument was unanswerable, and Bedding knew it.
 According to law - exclaimed Bedding. Then you own up; you've jumped our claims

Should Eliminate
Unsoldered Joints
Must Use Care When Light
ming Switch Blade L.
Pivoted.

In the design Of radio installations.
n of the simplest and best methods
to increase efficiency In both trans
mission and reception Is to eliminate,
as nearly as possible. all unsoldered
joints. One stumbling-blOck is often
found in the joints Of the lightning
switch. Since this switch is out Of
doors, these joints, because OF the ac-
ton Of the weather, are Of very high
resistance and a test may show that
the cheif trouble Is at the point where
the blade is pivoted. The pivot to work
freely has to be loose, allowing dirt
and oxide TO collect. while at the jaws
the clipping action makes a fairly
good self-cleaning contact 1t is re-
markable that reception is not entirely
blocked at times by the poor con-
facts at the middle support. Such a
joint is particularly harmful to O. W.
transmission with It's low potential. A
temporary solution Of the problem is
found by dispensing with the switch,
but of course this can not be tolerated,
10 designing a new blade the hrsi
consideration is to afford the same OF
even better protection from lightning
and after that to increase electrical
efficiency and maintain mechanical
strength, economy, and ease Of opera
ton. The design evolved a be ap
piled to any standard switch. Is easily
made by amateurs and can be stand
ardized by manufacturers. II requires
no changes In the switch except thu

NATIONAL FOREST
OPENS UP ALASKAN
MINING DISTRICT

"The trail crew on the Chicamin job
has succeeded in placing the trail
across the Chicamin Glacier and is
proceeding down the slope toward the
Chicamin River"
Behind this brief message recently
received by the Washington office of
the Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, from Super.
visor R. A. Cellar, Of the Tongass Ma
tlonal Forest in Alaska, lies a tale of
difficult trail building across glaciers
and through NOW fields to open up
a section of southeastern Alaska
heretofore inaccessible.
The trail starts on the Salmon
river and goes over the high ridges
which separate the Salmon River Ba-
sin from the Chicamin River. The re-
gion traversed is high country, much
Of it above the timberline in that nor
thern latitude. Glaciers and snow
fields are frequent along the route fol-
lowed and it was necessary to cross
n large glacier, the Chicamin, d
most unusual trail location.
The trail is being constructed pri-
marily as a development project and
is designed to provide a way for the
public to reach the "back country
in the Chicamin River district. Many
mining proSpectors have already used
the trail to enter the region and sew
eral claims have been located.
The construction of the Chicamir
Glacier trail entailed many difficultie;
which made the accomplishment Of
the task all the more outstanding.
That the trail is proving its value
in opening up the Chicamin River dis
trict seems to be proven by the fac
that mining activities increased
greatly during August following TIT
discovery of gold-bearing ore. Il
fact, the thrush of ~prospectors tool

switch blade). A strip Of copper is
needed 1-16 by 1 In. by Az in, bent
as shown In the drawing, and drilled
one-half inch from the ends with q
" in. drill or larger and countersunk.
The bakellte strip is also drilled to
accommodate the pivot at one end and
with the II in. drill at the other. All
four corners should be rounded. The
copper strip is then riveted to the
Oakelite and the rivet fled or flush
on each side. The copper must be al
lowed to turn freely. The lead-in is
then soldered to the copper strip and
the switch ~reassembIed for use.
The bakelite forms an insulating
handle for throwing the switch and
also increases the Insulation Of the
parts from the base. Only one un-
soldered contact remains, and several
sharp turns are eliminated, which re
duces brush discharge. As the copper
strip swiveis the lead-in is not kinked
or twisted in any way.
The switch can be considered mere
ly as a modification Of the plug and
jack system having an insulating han
die. and a guide to direct the plug and
keep It always at hand.

At a conference with President
Coolidge at the White House a COM

tonnage for any corresponding per-
iod and urged that nothing be done
to undermine the efficiency Of the
roads.
