Hatten. Little Harry Lyon also gave a cute recitation en- titled "The Jew Baby" The presentations of Mrs. Hatten covered a wide range of sub jects and included both poetry and prose and displayed to ex- cellent advantage her splendid elocutionary and forensic abili- ties.
 Moonlight and Roses," a beautiful vocal offering by Mrs. Legge and chorus was a splendid number, as was al- 90 the singing of Mrs. Johnson and chorus. J. A. Lyon, assist ed by chorus, also achieved quite a hit in the vocal num- Der, "Who Takes Care of the Caretaker's Daughter" Or chestral numbers of most pleasing character were rend- cred by Mrs. E. D.

have been rather slow to ap-
 pear in the production of gold.
 significant developments are, now in progress which, with
 an increase in prospecting, will eventually lead to aug mented gold returns.
 The production of the cop per mines was materially smaller than in 1928. This resulted from unsatisfa etory market conditions which pro- vided no stimulus for extend ed or enlarged operations.
 Coal production likewise ex- perienced a decrease, but ex- tensive explorations are being carried on which point to in- creased production and wider distribution of Alaskan coal in the near future.
 The Katalla oil fields con- tinue to be the only producing fields in the Territory. How ever, exploration in other dis tricts was carried on by some of the larger companies. Wells are being drilled in the Cold Bay district by the Stand ard Oil Company of California and the Associated Oil Com pany. Geologic and topograph- ic surveys lying with Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 on the Arctic Slope were made by government agencies during the year. Definite results of these surveys cannot be deter mined until office and lab ratory studies have been made of the data and technical in- formation thus obtained.
 While receipts from re- sources within the National Forests of Alaska show-d healthy growth for the year. the Territory's timber industry continues to be but a small factor in its industrial life, and the annual returns from the forests infintesimal when pos abilities for development and utilization of the forest re- sources are realized. In the calendar year 1924 the tim per cut from the National Forests aggregated 52,50O,OO0 board feet, and the total cut since 1909, when the National For ests in Alaska, were created, has been 82,OOO,0OO board

on the Pribiloff Islands indi-
 cated a substantial gain, and the revenues derived from the sale of seal skins was more than $700,000. In addition, the sale of blue and white fox skins in 1924 taken from the
 herd maintained on the same
 islands amounted to about $5O,000.
 ''It would be a great benefit to Alaska if a part of the re- turns from the sale of seals and foxes could be given to the Territory for the mainte-. nance and extension of the public school system outside ot incorporated towns" said the Governors report. He suggest ed the propriety of limiting to 50 per cent of the net returns the expenditures made by the Department of Commerce fol Improvements on the Pribiloff Islands and added At least 50 per cent should be allotted to the Territory yearly for sup, port of the common schools"
 During the year a gradual re- sumption in both placer and lode mining was apparent in all parts of the Territory. The total mineral production for 1924 had a value of $16,855,- sos. The production of gold exceeded that of 1923. Pros pectors were encouraged by several new discoveries, and the consolidation and renewed activities of some of the larger dredging companies have stim- ulated the quest for low grade placer ground. Governor Parks recommends more liberal laws for the development of the low grade gravels in the Terri tory. The existing law, he points out, was designed to prevent the, monopolization Of bonanza ground, and works a hardship on capital seeking to develop areas of low grade ground which cannot be profit ably worked except by large scale operations. The gold lode mining industry of the Terrl- tohry showed a healthy devel- opment, and the increase in gold output for the year was due mainly to the activity in the lode mines, particularly ln southeastern Alaska.

GOVERNOR PARKS
 MAKES FIRST REPORT

Alaska continued to progress industriously during the past year said Governor Geo. A
 Parks in his first annual report to the Secretary of the Interior
 just made public.
 While this advancement is slow, as in the past two years,
 it is nevertheless steady.
 Encouragement is found in the fact that the fisheries, mining and forest. industries
 produced larger returns than
 in the preceding year, and plans for greater development seem to be working out satis- factorily.
 The fishery industries con- tinued to be the most import ant in the Territory. The value of it's products, which aggre- gated $38,584,837 increased about 4 per cent over 1928, the expansion being chiefly in the herring fisheries. Labor finds it's greatest source of en- ployment in the fisheries. Ow- ing to the seasonal nature of the employment furnished by the salmon and herring in- dustries. The building of a per manent population has been retarded. This has not only been a detriment to the Terri tory, but has added to the burden of both industries since they have found it necessary to import labor from long dis tances to a large number of districts. Governor Parks sug- gests that the evolution of a plan for diversified fishing, capable of providing almost continuous employment, may solve this problem and bring about a substantial increase in the permanent population of the coastal regions. As an in- stance he cites that enormous cod-fishing banks are located along the coast of Alaska. De- spite the easy availability of this valuable food fish, the cod-fish products of the year were less than S100,OOO. It is possible, he said, by careful planning to increase this many fold.
 All fishing operations were carried on under the regulat- ions promulgated by the Sec retary of Commerce as author ized by the Act of June 6, 1924. The Department of Commerce increased its field force to take care of the add ed responsibilities bestowed on it under that law by Con- gress, and the Commissioner of Fisheries personally remain ed in the Territory most of this season observing conditions and studying the working of the new law and department 
 Conservation of the halibut was attempted fol the first time in 1924 when the North Pacific Halibut Treaty became effective. Un- der this, halibut fishing was suspended for three months beginning November 16, 1924. The closed season did not eff feet adversely the production in this industry as the catch showed a considerable increase over that of 1923.

minis railroad law is repealed, Robert
NJ La Toilette Jr., candidate for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator, declared in a speech
here tonight.
Railroad managers are now leaning
on the guarantee of profits in this
law instead of reducing freight and
passenger charges to develop their
business and so produce a profit
through the increased income" he
said.
ever since the passage of this law
the progressives have been denounced
because they charged that this law
guaranteed the railroads earnings of
from 51z to per cent. The railroads
themselves now not alone admit but
assert this to be a fact. The inter
state commerce commission is being
flooded with applications for freight
rate increases. A number of such ap-
plications are to be heard at Chicago
this month and our Wisconsin railroad
commission has been asked to approve
these increases. Our state commits
sion has instead asked the attorney
general to appear in opposition in the
interests of the farmers and the in
dustries of Wisconsin.
"The railroads are asking other in
creases which more than make up the
difference. They are asking for re-
classification of rates on cheese for
the entire United States. This will
mean an increase of from so to 100
per cent on cheese and as Wisconsin
farmers produce three-quarters of the
cheese of the country and much of
this is consumed in the south and 9TH
re distant markets it will mean hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars to Wis

is found conveniently near the front door.
The bedrooms are well lighted, have good
closets, and are connected with the bath by
a convenient hall. A sleeping porch is also
provided at the rear of the house.
AS many hours in each day are spent in

complete and convenient. The sink is set
beneath a group of two windows fanked on
the sides by cabinets.
The table is so placed with serving door

from the kitchen to the sideboard of the
dining room. The rear porch is large and has
space for the icebox. It is enclosed and con-

Seek to Enforce
New OleO Bill

Madison. Wis. 4 - State Of
ficials sought to remove the restric-
tions on enforcement of the new OLE
omargarine ban today, when the law
passed by the last legislature was in
tended to become effective.
J. @. Emery, state dairy and food
commissioner, will ask Circuit Judge
August C. Hoppman to dismiss the
temporary injunctions obtained by ole
omargarine manufacturers and whole
sale dealers to prevent enforcement
of the law. The answer which At
torney General Ekern and C. E. Erik
son, deputy attorney general, will file
with the court, demands that the COM
plant of the oleomargarine interests
be dismissed and that the injunctions
be vacated and set aside land for
such other and further order or re-
lief as to the court may appear just
and equitable" II denies that the
new law is prohibitory and declares it
is vailed.
The oleomargarine interests are
seeking permanent injunction re-
straining the state from enforcing the
law. Regardless of the outcome of
the test in its early stages, it is des-
tined to go to the state supreme
court and possibly the federal courts
for final decision of its constitution
atty, attorneys for both sides declar-
ed. Meanwhile, enforcement of the
law is prevented.

KenOskan Last Seen With

Dam is Arrested.
TWAS ALL A MISTAKE
Story Leaks Out of Walk
Home in Barrel by Ke-
noshan's Companion.

Because the clothes Of Arnold Will
son were found on the bank of Hor-
lick's Dam early Sunday morning, and
Wilson was nowhere to be found, his
swimming companion of Saturday
night, a Kenosha man, was arrested on
suspicion Of foul play, and it was a
number of hours before the atmo-
sphere was cleared and the mystery
explained.
The sheriff at Racine called the Ke-
nosha police Office Sunday morning at
1880 o'clock asking that Fred Modem
nauer of sic North Maplewood avenue
be arrested. Police officers Tusler and
Long called at the address but did not
find Moldennauer there. Later in the
day Moldennauer called voluntarily at
the police Office, asking what was
wanted of him. He was told weird
story.
Swimming Mate Missing.
According to the report that had
come from Racine, he was informed,
the man with whom he had been in
swimming the night before, had not
returned to his home. Moldennauer
admitted the swimming fest He said
he had been in swimming in the dam
at midnight with Arnold Wilson and
Billy Exner of Racine, but that was
all he knew about it. He thought the
others were all right.
The police, however, told him that
the clothes of Arnold Wilson were
found Sunday morning on the bank
where he had left them the night be-
fore. Something must have happened.
1t was feared that Wilson had been
struck in the water and had drowned.
Moldennauer went forthwith to Ra-
cine to report to the sheriff there on
orders, and also to ascertain for him.
self the answer to the riddle. BY the
time he arrived there, the atmosphere
had cleared. Wilson had returned to
his home.
But How He Returned!
Out of that developed true funny
story" Wilson, it seemed, had swum
across the dam in his birthday suit,
leaving his clothes on the other side.
For some reason or other, he was
afraid to swim back, and he remained
on the bank at which he had arrived.
lie did not dare swim back, perhaps
fearing inability to breast the stream,
and he did not dare walk back, attired,
or rather in lack of attire as he was.
He crawled cautiously up to farm
house. What happened is matter of
dispute. One story has it that he
loaned barrel and rolled all the way
home in it. The other is that he bor-
rowed an overcoat of a farmer.
Moldennauer was completely cleared
of any blame, as was also Wilson's
other companion, BILLY" Exner.
