after nine years Of waiting. plus the
pleasure of being lifted from
straitened circumstances, was too

No Fee Charged
To make the present complete,
Hoover refused to charge his client
fee. Instead, he helped get her
furniture out of storage, and make
arrangements to return to a daugh-
ter in New York.
The estate was held up while the
Supreme Court ruled whether first
cousins take precedence over sec.
ond cousins. Mrs. Trowbridge was
first cousin Of the decedent, and
the recent ruling of the higher tribu.
nal was that first cousins take the
property.

RYDER NEWS NOTES

Rumors of rich strike on the American side of the boun- diary line have been circulat- ed about town during the past day or two but could not be traced to a definite source be- fore going to press.
 One version of the tale is that someone had displayed to someone a piece of quartz containing generous quantities of native silver, which was supposed to have been found somewhere in Salmon River valley. Those in the know say the story is unlikely, although willing to concede that some development of the kind might result from the numerous pros pecting activities now in prog ress.
 Portland Canal Lodge No. 1918, Loyal Order of Moose, is preparing to celebrate the sec ond anniversary of it's organ ization, Saturday, October 4th, Ihy rolling up its several shirt sleeves and clearing the land around the public school build ling, in order that the kiddies may have a nice, clean and dry playground, instead of damp, weed and moss-grown plot as at present.
 As the Moose order is found ed upon the view that the care and education of the child is one of the first duties of the nation-a view,by the way, that lis beautifully examplified by the great home for children of deceased members of the order at Mooseheart, Illinois-it is quite natural that the local lodge should assume leader ship in the matter. It happens, however, that the lodge is not a large one and many of it's members are away in the hills at present, while the work of cleaning up the school grounds is rather large sized task. It is therefore proposed to en- list the assistance of members of other organizations and of citizens. A committee, consist ing of John Hovland, Earl Hinckley and Harold Johnson was appointed, at the last meeting of the lodge to ask the cooperation of the Pion- eers, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, as we'll as citizens. All who wish to volunteer for this laudable labor may secure further par ticulars from members of the committee.
 The Herald has no doubt that everyone who can spare the time will devote an hour or two at least to the beneficeni task of giving the little ones o1 the community a proper play ground. And we are equally sure that everyone who does l will afterward feel a pleasant glow somewhere within his be ] ing and be right glad that he had a hand ill doing it.

struck by an ore train at the mine recently and fatally in- jured, dying a short time later without having gained con- sciousness. Kelly was an old timer in Southeastern Alaska, and had been employed at the Alaska-Junea mine since the year 1918. The accident is said to have been due to a rail which projected from one of the cars which hit Kelly, who was standing beside the track, knocking him against some timbers and crushing him.
 A nameless craft, designated merely by "U-23" for the pur- pose of registration, was tow ed into Anchorage recently and is being held by the fed eral authorities as a rum rum ming prize. The capture was made by Deputy Marshal H. I. Staser, who was making a trip down the Inlet on other busi- ness on the fisheries boat Kitti- wake. Attention was attracted to the boat which was at anc- hor at Boulder Point by the fact that when the Kittiwake came into view three men on board the craft were engaged in supposedly drunken row, and a woman was seen on deck waving her arms and calling for help. As the fisheries boat drew near, one of the men went overheard, either as a re- suit of the fight or in an en- deavor to escape. He was fol- lowed by another and then by the third. Two swam to the beach and escaped into the brush, while the third, George Hillary, landed on sandspit and surrendered. On board the boat were found two butter barrels filled with white mule, and several similar barrels tsupposedly containing salmon bellies. The prisoner, George Hillary, is believed by the au- Ithorities to be the owner of the lbooZe.
 Exchanges bring the sad news that Miss Nellie, Cashman, not ed pioneer woman, intrepid Inlusher and mining operator of the Koyukuk section, who spent some days in Hyder last spring, is now in the Fair banks hospital suffering from 8 severe attack of rheumatism and what is believed to be a general breakdown. ]
 According to the Valdez Min CT, the vivacious and energetic ic old lady failed to get back ito her home at Koyukuk. She reached Bettles, about eighty miles away, June 20, enroute to her mining properties on Nolan Creek, and while wait. ing there for transportation was taken down. She was brought back to Nulato by gas. boat and a week or two later on her 18th birthday, boarded the steamer Jacobs enroute to Fairbanks.

apparently became lost among the hills.
 Superintendent Hansen of the Copper River & North western Railway, after a visit up the line, returned to Cor dova a few days ago with the report that rapid work is being done on the reconstruction of the power plant at the Kenne- colt mine, recently destroyed by fire. Superintendent Neid- ing of the Kennecott Copper Corporation gives assurance that things will again be runn- ing, at least temporarily, to furnish power sufficient for the mine and mill to resume Operations within two or three weeks. About 250 of the old employees have been retained, and as others are needed they will be brought in.
 Mrs. Ross Kinney, who not long ago went to the Kusko- kwim district to join her hus- band, who has charge of the road work for the Alaska Road Commission in that sect ion, had a novel experience at Holy Cross while waiting for boat connections. She and an- other woman dressed in hiking clothes for the rough trip up the Innoko river on gas boat, strolled over to the mission at Holy Cross to have a look at the big institution, but upon ar irving" there they were denied admission because of the na- ture of their attire. Hiking suits are taboo at the mission,
 Falling. down an eighty foot shaft and breaking his neck was the sad ending of Robert Fulkerson, one of Alaska's old prospectors. and one of Ruby's best" citizens. The accident oc- cured on July 29th on the un. fortunate miners claim al Poorman. Fulkerson and Stan ley Coffin were repairing the shaft, standing on a platform which they had rigged up and tied by cable. When about six feet from the top of the shaft the two men stepped on the 5same side of the platform, pre- cipitating Fulkerson to the bot tom of the shaft where he land ed on his head. Coffin hung or to the cable and pulled him. self to the top.
