ANCHORAGE FIRM
 RETIRE FROM
 FIELD JANUARY 1
BROWN & HAWKINS WILL CON FINE THEIR ACTIVITIES TO
 SEWARD IN FUTURE

A report in the Anchorage Times of Tuesday stating that the we'll known branch of Brown & Hawkins in An chorage would be closed January 1, withdrawing from the field and con- fining it's activities entirely to Sew ard where their main store is located, was confirmed this afternoon by Mir. T. w. Hawkins, senior member of the corporation, who issued the following statement:
 Since the establishment of our An chorage branch in 1915 we have con- sistently enjoyed good patronage from the people of Anchorage and we an- nounce our withdrawal from the field with sincere regret.
 We find that the maintenance of a proper staff and facilities for provoid- ing the retail service which we have always tried to give, make very seri- ous inroads on the small margin of profit which the Anchorage people pay on their limited volume of business, and we have decided to retire from this field.
 We have not lost faith in Alaska, nor in Anchorage. We are simply confining our efforts to Seward where we already have large a growing business, and will develop and enlarge our wholesale business.
 We will enter more extensively in the spring into the wholesale business, especially in groceries and hardware. This move has been planned for the past year and is not a sudden decision by any means. Without doubt this move will mean the enlargement of departments and the construction of additional warehousing facilities and it is also expected the personnel of the staff will be enlarged.
 with regards to putting on a ves- sel carrying merchandise to Seward from the States, and taking back car goes of coal, we have considered this problem for many months, and it is quite probable that this will be done
 MT. Brown plans making busi- ness trip to the States sometime after Christmas and while Outside will go into the matter thoroughly with re- cnnnf fn
 The firm of Brown & Hawkins is one of the largest and most reliable in the Territory, and has been in busi- ness in Seward for many years. The stock carried by this firm is the larg- est and most diversified in Alaska.

JOHNSON SAID
 HE MADE GUNS
 FOR JAILBREAK
THREW SOME IN GARBAGE BE- CAUSE DID NOT LOOK REAL
 ENOUGH

SEATTLE, Oct. 1. (P)-The Seattle Post-Inteligencer published the story given by Johnson yesterday relating the jailbreak
 Johnson said, There weren't any real guns; I made all of them. I mad lot of them and threw some into the garbage because they didn't look very natural"
 In telling how he made the weapons Johnson further said, 'I made the han dies and part of the barrels of wood, cutting tin out of Velvet tobacco cans to put around this rough shape to give appearance to the guns. I then saw ed the handles off spoons and bent them to look like trigger guards, fit ted fountain pen covers to look like barrels, and made the rear sights out of half screw-top of tooth paste tube. The front sights were made of tin, glued to the gun with chewing gum.
 ' AC Suuo MCIS . Il1Su DldCh6uSu W1Lu shoe polish, to give them a dull fin ish, said Johnson"
 Morgan let us out and I marched him to the back door of the corridor with spear at his back. They all ways have saws around the cells in the jails, and when shakedown is coming, the boys usually break up the saws. I used pieces of saws and spoons in manufacturing the spear"
 Starwich said Johnson's story was all a lie.

WEALTH BRINGS JUSTICE
 TO PENNELESS MINER

George Campbell Carson, an itinerant miner, aged 58, who for the past Is years has been a guest of the Sailor Boarding House in San Francisco, was recently held by the Circuit Court of Appeals to be the in- ventor of two of the greatest improvements in copper smelt- ing methods made in recent years.
 The court held that his pat ents had been infringed by the American Smelling and Refin- ing Company and that an &C., counting is due him from that concern for at least $5, 100000.
 Similar suits filed against the Phelps Dodge Company, of Arizona, and the Anaconda Mining Company are expected to yield him an approximate total of $20,000,OO0.
 TWO years ago Carson at tempted to establish his rights but, being virtually broke and without influence, the case was thrown out of court. He finally succeeded in enlisting the interest of Rudolph Spreck- les and R. H. Smith, San Fran cisco capitalists, who secured skilled counsel and established Carson's claims without diff culty.

 Everybody should ride a hob- by.
 President Coolidge is riding a little one--a hobby horse with electrical apparatus to put it thru the bumps.
 The president, being an earn est person, has the moral stam- ina to ner7evere in that sort of efficiency. aJ Most or us need the stimulus of the actual horse and of pre- tending we are going some- where on it.
 But whether it is a horse, hobby or real, a garden, col lection, books, a farm, radio, sport, or, in the last resort, ev- en iaZZ, cross-words, or bridge make it something besides your business.
 Anybody can do two jobs bet ter than one--especially if he makes his living at one of them and spends it on the other.

Two boys recently ran away from their homes. They were picked un by police in another town and sent back to their parents. When found they car ried an agreement they had made before starting out. It pledged them as follows: CD
 Once we leave, we stay to- gether. (2) Not to fight. (3)
 Not to smoke or steal; (4) if dispute arises on any matter toss up to settle it; (5) Fifty fifty on everything; (6) To keep going south and not back (0 Play the game fair. Not such a bad agreement for two youngsters to make. It is no doubt best for them that they were found and returned to their homes. Education and a little more wise discipline should help rather than harm them. But if they retain their adventurous. spirit along with their ideals of comradeship, fair play, honesty and stick-to- it-iveness they should go far on their journey toward success.
