: ENTIRE HOUSE :. AND CONTENTS
 STOLEN AWAY
AFTER SEVEN YEARS ABSENCE ALASKAN RETURNS TO FIND
 HIS HOME PELUK

l.. L. Bales, the veteran trapper, big game hunter and author knows that conditions in Alaska are changing. and for the worse. Seven years ago he left his door on the latch and left for the States and upon returning few weeks ago discovered the entire house and it's contents had been sto- len. Fortunately one of his sheds was yet standing and he camped there overnight. the next day beginning the construction of another home.
 All this happened at Bales Landing. StevpOvak Bay to the westward, MT, Bales being a passenger on the Starr on it's recent trip. Since departing from the Territory seven years ago, Mr Bales has been residing at Den commission to collect specimens of Alaskan fauna for the Colorado Mu- scum of Natural History, he embark ed for the North and his former home. With his supplies he disembarked at the bay in a small boat when it was discovered much to his dismay, that his nicely finished home had disap- peared piecemeaI.
 He is the owner of large land hold ings in the vicinity of the landing, and when he departed for the States years ago, naturally thought he knew his neighbors. It is reported the loss of the building and it's contents has worked a considerable hardship on Mir. Bales, who has called the place home for quarter of century. It is stated he would never have left his westward homestead but for the fact he wanted to give his children good education, and for that purpose only temporarily abandoned the home. Ev cry stick of timber, even to the up rights, windows, sashes and doors have been carried away by thieves. Aside from the old shed he now oc- cupies only a barabara remains of what was once nice residence.
 The crew of the S.S. Starr assist ed MT. Bales in establishing camp, erecting a tent for him and in many ways doing what they could to make him comfortable He will be joined on the next trip of the Starr by c. Foote and family, who will assist him in securing local specimens familiar to that district.

said firmly, snatching the flask
from young Darnley. She opened
the bottles of gingerale, and mixed
four highbals.

But as the time dragged on, and
he said nothing, but ate in moody
silence, she breathed more freely.
Under the warming influence of the

cheerful.

beating within it-beating intoler-
ably. And she found that she
could not speak. She smiled and
nodded.

his chair and took her in his arms
but she drew away from him. Her
wide, frightened eyes were fixed
upon Jack Darnley's face.

hard Offering gaze.

MODERN TREND is TO FEW
Err AND BETTER PAPERS

dern trend in American journalism is
toward fewer, bigger and better
newspapers was the statement of H.
c. Hotaling. executive secretary of
the National Editorial association, in
his address before the annual meet
ing of the Iowa Press association
held here. He also declared that the
status of the newspaper man is high
er today than it was ten years ago
and that more efficient business
methods in publishing and greater
business honesty were becoming
characteristic of the present day pub
Usher.
Iowa today has 77S papers" said
Mr.. Hotaling, but in the past year
you have lost fourteen weeklies. one
tri.weekly, one semi-monthly and one
quarterly. On the other hand you
have gained two dailies and two
monrhlies." The decrease in total
number of papers the speaker attrib-
uted to the nationwide tendency to-
ward fewer and bigger papers

influence of the press, Mrs Hotaling
quoted from a letter written by
Thomas jefferson to George Wash
ington: THE press is the best in
strument for enlightening the mind
of man and improving him as a ra-
tional, normal, and social being"
His optimistic view Of the present
state Of the American press was ably
seconded by L. C. Hodgson, former
mayor of st. Paul, Minnesota. known
by newspaper men everywhere under
the pen name of Larry Ho" who
