prising news. Karl Whitney has
been writing poetry. j am enclosing
some of it that mother sent to me.
Karl calls it prayer for every
day. think it is not only splendid
blank verse but aisJ if every per-
son would say that prayer each day
he would find himself not only a
happier but a better man.
The God to whom Karl appeals is
not a personal one to be swayed by
the silly requests Of mOrtals who
seldom know what they want. He
is Great Impersonal Force Whose
mercy is for the whole world and
Whose justice is like His sympathy
something which wraps the whole
wide world about it and like the sky
bends above suffering world.
l can not help but speak Of my
admiration for this poem. For al
ready it has helped me to see the
reason for a good many things that
have bothered me greatly.
| think perhaps, dear Ruth, that
/ have made my little world center
too much within myself. have
not realized that there were other
people, millions and millions of them,
and other things, trilllons and
trillions of them, which were part
of Gods great universe. If He be
a just God, they must have His pro-
lection, and business as much as l.
Karl has absolutely settled this for
me. / am only part of the great
scheme, and as such / will try to
fill my place and not shirk my duty,
or usurp another's rights.

resident dealers have moved their
headquarters each year.
IT the state was not to be eX-
plotted it was necessary to have re-
gulatory laws, and if the frogs were
not to be eXterminated it was ne
cessary to provide for close season
during their breeding time which is
usually in April and May in this
state.
Of the bill as passed Section / pro-
vides for close season and limits
the size, Section 2 prohibits the use
of fences, nets, traps and pitfalls,
Section as passed is somewhat am
biguous in its terms, the intent of this
Section as drawn was to prohibit the
shipping of frogs under l-2 inches
in length, fer the reason that many
thousands OF otherwise unstable size
was shipped into other states to be
| used as fish bait.
There is some demand for live
frogs to be used for disecting pur-
poses in the schools A paragraph
was inserted to provide way where
by supply could be obtained legal
ly, the provision for a permit to fill
that demand to be issued by the Sc
cretary of the game and fish board
and the fee charged for that permit
applies only to that phase Of the
frog business
AS the state claims ownership Of
all game life, it is assumed that
they also have ownership of the frogs
and may pass regulatory laws. That
it may be possible to learn the value
of the frog to the state it becomes
necessary to license dealers in the
business and to require of the ex-
tent of same.
1t was not the intent of the law
to require a license of any citizen
who may wish to trap take and sell
so long as they do not engage in the
business CT buying and selling or
shipping, therefore any citizen has
the right to take in any way not pro-
hibited by this law, and to sell to
licensed dealers or to ship to mar
ket, provided they do not buy from
others. While laws are made to be
observed many break them, therefore
it is necessary to provide u punish
ment for any infraction of same this
is provided for in section 5.
This explanation covers the work
ing points Of THO law briefly, many
inquiries are being received, and this
will perhaps provide working know
ledge of the frog law.

AUSTRALIA MUST HAVE

BY Chester HI. Rowell

Prohibition loses in West Australia by nearly two to one
few years ago. it would have been 10 to one and few
years before that, thousand to
So there progress Doubtless the vote would have
been nearly except for American propaganda
that when you get prohibition you don't get it.
1t is like the story doubtless apochrypha of the early
Japanese mission out to investigate Christianity The
Japanese the story having adopted the rest
of western civilization considered it's religion.
They read the Bible, and found it good but first they
thought it would be we'll to find out how it worked in the
countries where practiced So they oft an in
vestigating commission to be gone few months
Instead the commission did not return for years and
then it's only report that had searched the whole world
for century where Christianity practced but had been
unable to find it.
The Australians have had similar reports as to
prohibition In fact if they believed half tales we tell
each other in America it is wonder any of them voted
"dry."

PEOPLES FORUM
THE WHY OF THE FROG LAW

THE WHY OF THE FROG LAW
Editor of Tribune:
An item going the rounds of the
newspapers of the State, with the
above query, and the fact that l
have been cited as the author of the
bill, leads me to offer the following
explanation:
During the legislative session of
1928, bill was offered providing
for close season only, this was de-
| feated. Ks.
Subsequent Investigation of the
question resulted in the finding Of
the fact that the frog was of much
ecor omic value to the state.
The catching Of the frog for mar
ket, was first carried on by nom re-
sidents, partly owing to the fact
that Minnesota had passed a law,
prohibiting the shipping of frogs
out of the state, it was found that
these trappers and dealers were US
ing fences, nets. and traps at all
seasons of the year in their opera
tions, resulting in all but exterminat-
ing the frog wherever they work
ed, largely because their fences and
traps were stretched across the
places where the frog left his winter
| quarters to pass out to the breeding
| grounds, by this method nearly
every frog was captured. as it takes
about four years for frog to grow
to marketable size the result was
inevitable.
The dealers engaged in the bust
ness have been secretive and no ad-
equate check could be made, from
hearsav and other evidence it has
been found that one dealer paid out
in little over two years something
over $76,0O0.00 to men, women and
children. in the counties Of Sargent,
Ransom and Richland. This meant

l Harry G. Watson, publicity agent for the Alaska Railroad returned from four months business trip for the Railroad, spending considerable time on the East coast looking over the tourist situation for the coming summer.
 New York and Philadelphia will be represented strong this coming sum mer in Alaska. Several parties be- ing booked for the Golden Belt Tour which starts at Seward. One party of 60 coming from Philadelphia, one from New York consisting of 40 and several parties of 20 or more are booked from other cities outside of New York proper.
 A party of sixty persons from Moorhead, N. D. will soon be on the way. Three parties from Los An geles and from San Francisco have signed up. Portland will have two tours of about 30 each. While ne- gotiations are pending on several other large delegations.
 Mr. Watson secured the Atlantic and Pacific coast for passenger boats to bring tourists up here from the big conventions that will be held on the Pacific coast this year. This year is the largest convention year that the western coast has ever had. It is estimated that 26 major con- ventions are going to be held. The largest being the Elks in Portland, Shriners in Los Angeles and the Knights Templars in Seattle. MT. Watson said it was impossible to secure transportation for the large bodies wishing to make the tour on the Alaska Railroad and he estimat- ed at least 5000 tourists would come if ships were to be had, or charter. ed.
 All vessels are booked solid for the summer. Mir. Watson has been attending legislature for the past 60 days in Juneau, being a represen- tative from the Fourth division. He returned to Anchorage on today's train to make his report to Noel Smith.
