AN AMAZING POLITICAL COMBINE

Evidently realizing that he is in bad with union
labor and the government ownership element of
the state, Governor Hunt has made a combination
with Heard and Maddox on the so-caled Heard
plan" for further delaying the ratification of the
Colorado river compact The governor probably
feels that any old port in the storm will be better
than his present political prospects. Calling an
extra session of the legislature would not help
him salvage anything from the political wreckage
he has wrought. The damage has been DONE He
has been for and against granting permit for
the Grand dam project on Diamond Creek. He
was at first neutral on the pact question and now
avowedly against it.
Having known Gov. Hunt for good many
years we believe in his inherent honesty and we
can only attribute his latest combine-Hunt,
Heard and Maddock--to political bewildernent.
Governor Richardson has declined to go into a
tri-state conference for the purpose Of making
more wheels within wheels. Senator Winsor wise
ly side-stepped the proposition. The Hunt-Heard-
Maddox combination is most astonishing one
and people are wondering what will be done next
to kill the pact.

Business is SO good down at Yuma that even
the sheriff advertises. Then the Yuma Sun in a
mighty fine special Kwanis edition says: "Hay is
cut every day in the year at Yuma Yes, sir,
hay grows so fast down there if a farmer fails
to shear it every morning with his safety, his
cows get lost No farmer dares take holiday
for fear his growing pumpkins will chase his hogs
to death. It is really the growin'est country that
cloud ever wept on and feller who plants too
much seed just naturally invites an earthquake

ACCOMMODATING NEIGHBoRs

Mr.. and Mrs. Jenkinton had at last
obtained a small apartment, and Mr..
bennington was hanging the pictures,
says Judge. There was certain bit
which he decided must go up, but
which was too small to suspend from
the rail. He thereupon got a substan-
tial nail and hammered it into the
wall. There came knock at the
door.
"It's our neighbor," said the wife.
"Your hammering has disturbed him" !"
When the door was opened Mr.. Jen-
kinton Immediately began to apollo
gize.
"Oh, that's all right" said the
neighbor, cheerily, Il only came to
ask if / might hang a picture on
the other end of the nail"

SHIPPING BOARD VESSELS NAY PLY
 TO ALASKAN POETS O2TISS
(Cordova Times)

Plans are being worked out fo steamship connections between Sa1 Francisco and the Alaska railroad ac cording to reports received here origi hating from the California port me tropolis. It was reported that Gov Scott c. Bone and General Manager Lee H. Landis of the railroad have taken this matter up with the U. s Shipping Board.
 Writing in the San Francisco Bulle tin, on October 12, Samuel M. Ewing political and economic writer for tha1 paper, outlined the proposal as fol lows:
 Scott c. Bone, brilliant ex-journal ist and Governor of Alaska, and Lee H. Landis of this city, recently ap pointed General Manager for Uncle Sam's Alaska Railroad plan to have United States Shipping Board steam CTS to connect that railroad with this city as we'll as Seattle.
 Bone and Landis are in the nation al capital conferring on the subject ot such line with Secretary of the Inte- rior Work and Shipping Board direc- tors.
 Local shippers as we'll as politi- clans are greatly interested in the problem.
 Bone and Landis are due here next week and are to be given a luncheon at the Palace Hotel by the members of the Transportation Club and the two big societies of engineers.
 'The officials of the three bodies, it was stated, are to arrange a con- ference for Bone and Landis in this city with Senators Johnson and Short ridge, Congressmen Kahn and Curry and others in order to promote San Francisco trade with the Far North Territory, especially over the Govern railroad, via Seward to Fairbanks"

FUR FARMERS N QUANDARY OYER
 INCOME TAXES

The problem of just how fox farm ing firms and corporations are to make up their income tax returns is something which may require a ruling from the department
 H. H. Murray and c. H. Wallace. the two government income tax ex. peits now in Alaska advising with tax payers regarding parts of the law that might be confusing are not pre- pared to give any definite answer as to how fox corporations may be hand led by their department.
 The fox industry is a new one. but has rapidly developed to considera- ble proportions. The rule that applies to corporations handling stock will hardly apply to fox farmers for the simple reason that the latter cannot count their stock, as is true of stock that is branded. A particular farmer may have a general idea of the num- Der of foxes on a particular island, but after the young pups are born. it would prove rather difficult for him to set forth exactly the number on the island in order that they might be in cluded in his assets.

The phenomenon was first seen in 1476 when 26,00O Burgun- dians under Charles the Bold were de feated near the lake by the Swiss, The last time the waters We're bloodred was in 1914 just before the outbreak of the world war.
 The legend says, "When blood is seen on Morat there will be much blood shed in Europe"
