 ASKED RETURN
 WRANGELL MEN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Requests that the government provide transpor. tation for the one white man and 12 Eskimos, all American citizens, taken from Wrangell Island to Vladivostok in October by Soviet ship, have been met with the explanation that the government has no funds which can be expended legally for this pur- pose.
 The request reached the State de partment through Delegate Dan A. Sutherland, and Carl Lomen, a mem.

The party is composed of a man named White, and two Eskimo families, who were to trap and collect ivory on the island.
 The government feels that the par. ty should be cared for by the com mercial company which employed them to promote private enterprise

 Christmas In Years

Strating with the Christmas Tree Wednesday night and ending with a dance last evening, Seward enjoyed one of the best Christmas seasons in years. A large crowd assembled at A. B. Hall to attend the community Christmas Tree exercises, and gen. eral good time was enjoyed. The pro- gram started off with music, after which the children of the school staged an elaborate and interesting program, interspersed with speeches, songs, and concluding with playlet, which brought down the house. Fol lowing this came the distribution of the presents, Santa Claus appearing in costume, and wonderful to relate, knowing the names of every little boy and girl in town. A dance was given following the distribution of presents.
 The tree was one of the most beau tifully decorated ever seen in Sew ard, and excited universal admiration.

SWISS FLYERS BEST IN WORLD, BRITISH
 EXPERTS DECLARE

The Bagley ranch, though a hundred
miles away, was the nearest cholera

pigeons; a man, a month or so ago

man wasn't Trevors. Bagley didn't
know who he was. The same man.
however, had shown up three days ago
and had asked for another half-dozen
of the birds. There had been three
white pigeons among them. He was
shifty-eyed chap. Bagley said, old
brown suit, hat with a rattlesnake
skin around the crown. That, point for
point, spelled Donley.
Lee returned with the shirt which
he had ripped from his prisoners

him. Poker Face, still looking on,
gave no sign of interest.

Judith, her eyes bright with anger

him wordlessly. Then Carson put 6
