There is as much difference be-
tween Highway Commissioner Bah
cocks proposed issue of $20,000,000
in road bonds and the ordinary
bonds issued for county improve
ments as there is between day and
night.
The one is issued with the absolute
provision that each year is to be
set aside from the automobile tax
funds-not the general fund, where
all other taxes go-sufficient money
each Y to retire interest and prin-
cipal on these bonds when they
mature. Issues. of county improve
ment bonds have no provisions for a
sinking fund and are retired only as
the county finds itself in sufficient
funds over and above regular run
ming expenses.
So don't let the self-seeking politi-
clan who lis looking for a position
rather than a job, fool you with the
argument that the issuance of $780,
100000 in:state road bonds is going
to increase your taxes. There is
nothing to it.-Sparks, State Auto
Magazine. =

TEN GOOD COMMANDMENTS
1. Drive on the right side of the
road; it's just as good as the
left

1. Drive on the right side of the
road; it's just as good as the
left.
2. Slow down when approaching
cross road; it is nearly as
dangerous as railroad
crossing.
3. Look out for children. You
can never tell what they
will do, and you are always
in the wrong if you hit one.
4. Try to help instead of him
dering the traffic officer; he
is there for your good and
he's got a tough job.
S. Be sure that your lights are
not defective or glaring; it's
no joke driving into blind
ing glare as you yourself
know.
6. Read and obey the warning
signs; they are not put up
for ornaments.
z. If you've got to speed-do
where it won't kill anybody
but yourself.
8. When making minor repairs
get all wheels off the pave
ment and stop where your
car may be seen from both
directions; otherwise you
may stop longer than you
anticipate.
| 9. Speeding around corners is a
straight route to the hospital.
Don't race past a stopped
car. Some day the jury will
/ call it manslaughter.
10. Use discretion. The fact that
you had the right of way
won't bring anybody back to
life, least of all yourself.

DETAILS OF STRIKING
 OF MARTINS PLANE

From R. Amundson, manager of the cannery at Port Moller was received a full account fthe striking of Major Martins plane
 The plane hit a gentle rise and slid one hundred feet before it stopped, but was demolished. They spent the night of the thirtieth and all day in the lee side of the fuselage while the storm ragged trying to keep warm from a fire made from material taken off the plane but found it practically im- possible to sleep on account of the cold. They afterward tried to reach the Pacific ocean on the Second of May, but the two had much trouble with their feet. After wandering that day they camped in bunch of alders, making a fire and sleeping in the branches, but here the aviators secur- ed little rest.
 On May third the two airmen re- turned to the plane, arriving about four-thirty Sunday morning, when they made a resolution never again to return to the wrecked ship. Camp ing that night in canyon free of snow they got some rest, but Tuesday night in four feet of snow and bitter cold, they spent the worst night of their experience.
 The next day they were overjoyed to see salt water and find trapper's cabin, where they ate some hot cakes and salmon bellies. Here they killed and ate ducks and rabbits, setting out Saturday morning feeling compara- lively stronger and having little diff ficulty in travelling the twenty miles along the beach between the cabin and the cannery. Some natives saw them and brought them in power dofy from the spit where they were stag gering when he picked them up; but after a good supper the men soon re- gained their strength and appeared little the worse for their experience.

GEORGE EDWARD LEWIS TO FILM ANOTHER
 BIG ALASKA PICTURE
WILL BRING CAST NORTH SOON TO FILM 1.-THE ETERNAL
 FRONTIER"

SEATTLE, May 16-George Ed ward Lewis, the man who made "The Cheechakos," is off for Alaska to make another picture.
 When seen at The Atwood yester- day, MT. Lewis said: "Yes, "The Chee- chakos" is a success. It is one of the biggest pictures that has ever been made and critics who have had an op- portunity to look it over carefully, pro- nounced it bigger picture than the Covered Wagon, and that is praise enough for anyone.
 T like it myself and am proud to have been instrumental in the making of it, and now 1 am going to make a bigger and better Alaska picture than The Cheechakos.' I am leaving in the morning and will start the preliminary work on a picture that 1 am going to call The Eternal Frontier It's a theme that I have had in the back of my head for the last dozen years, or in fact, ever since I started to wan der about the great Land up North, and I have finally got it whipped into shape to film and now l am going to maHe the picture. You know have all ways had the idea that Alaska Is too big, too wild and to great to ever be tanned.
 "As long as this race lasts, Alaska will be frontier, hence the title, "The Eternal Frontier I learned lot while making The Cheechakos', and I believe that the lessons that 1 learn ed will show up in my new effort.
 T have in mind five Alaskan pie lures and hope to be able to shoot them all. It will take a year to a pie ture and when I have finished, I be- lieve that I will be able to offer the world an idea of Alaska that they will never get in any other way, and will never forget.
 T am taking four cameramen with me on this trip and will shoot the stills and long distant shots while the snow is still good. I have what consider wonderful story for the picture, thrills and human interest running all through it, and the biggest kick at the end that has ever been filmed. l don't like to talk too much right now about it but I don't mind tipping off to you that I am going to use snow slide to bump off my villain and l don't believe that has ever been done before, and if I get away with it, 1t will be a wonderful scene. 1 am going to try not to kill my villain, but you know a snow slide is a touchy thing to work with and he is game and IS willing to take chance, so l am going to stage it for him. It should be a knockout.
 q will have Billie bills, who made such hit in "The Cheechakos," as my leading character. I consider him the best in the business for such role and the balance of the cast will be of the the same high standard.
 'Gladys Johnstone will have the lead. For cameramen, will have Shir- ley Weeder, Raymond Johnstone and Alaska Surrat from Wrangell.
 'I will be back inside of month, and will take the cast up then and hope to finish the filming this sum- mer."
