KANATAK BURIED UNDER TEN FEET
 OF NEW SNOW

KANATAK, April 20-The Stan dard Oil company's camp on the Pearl Creek Dome is smothered by the heaviest snowfall reported in the hills since the present stampede With nothing visible of the bunk houses but the smoke stacks the road grader was pulled out of the snow, and for two days the caterpillar pulled the grader round and round the bunk house in an effort to clear away some of the snow. About ten feet of snow is reported on top of the stables, and the horses are being quartered in the warehouse and workshop. The snow has not interfered seriously with the drilling as the rig is located on top of a windswept ridge. The drills are down 3375 feet and indications are that when $500 feet are drilled an oil flow will be encountered.
 Johnny Kalmakoff has returned to Kanatak from Ugashik.

X.B. JONES FOUND
 DEAD BY NATIVE
 UGASHIK RAPIDS

KANATAK, April 18.-The body of x. E. Jones, an well known old timer of this district, was reported found ly- ing in the river near his cabin on the Ugashik river rapids. Johnny Kalma koff on his way to Kanatak from Ugashik, stopped at the cabin for the night. He found no one at home, so prepared his camp outside. As he went down to the river for water he found the body lying in about seven feet of water. He immediately broke camp and headed for Kanatak.
 Mrs. Jones had mushed into Kama talk with the dogs several days previ- ously where she had expected to meet Jones The U. s. Marshal was noti- fled and Harry Lohr and Fred Hove have returned with Mrs. Jones to re- cover the body.
 Jones, who is said to have been native of Kentucky, came north with the gold rush in 1897, and never re- turned to the States. He was we'll known along the Yukon from Nome to Dawson. Of late years he has been hunting and trapping along the Alaska peninsula. He leaves a widow a native of the Yukon territory, whom he married 26 years ago.

badly mortified, the flesh peeling off before he died. A bald spot on top of the head had also been frozen.
 Thompson had built a fire in his cabin, but his wood was all gone. He had an oil burner on top of box but it was empty, as we'll as his kerosene can. nut closing the opening of the burner was found lying on the floor, perhaps his last attempt to secure the life-saving heat With feet and hands in such condition he could not cut any wood, so was forced to await the in- evitable end, with perhaps no short cuts available.
 After building a fire his feet and hands had thawed out. and the end to his suffering came when his fuel gave out.
 Thompsons dogs were chained up outside the cabin, so it is presumed that he was out on a short trap line near his cabin, and was caught in one of the blizzards with extreme low temperatures which prevailed recently for several days, in barren, deso- late country, devoid of land marks, missing his way and perhaps remain ing out all night Or he may have fallen in an overflow. Arriving home he was not able to hitch his dogs to the sled and drive to his nearest neighbor's, or perhaps unable to force them to face the intense blizzard. Thompson was we'll known on the peninsula, and his untimely end is deplored by his many friends in this section.

OLDTIMER MEETS HORRIBLE END
 LONELY CABIN

KANATAK, April 21.-Mike Thomp- son, an old and respected resident of the Alaska peninsula, was found dead in his cabin on Dog Salmon river last week. The investigation conducted by a deputy marshal showed that he had frozen to death. The body, clothed in a parka, was lying across the bed, the weight resting on his knees and el- bows, muscles rigid and tensed, show ing the intense suffering endured as the end came. Fox skins were wrap ped around his feet and hands, and one was also wrapped about the body. Removing these, his hands and feet were found to have been frozen and

campaign is on to unite all Spanish American War veterans as members-at-large, where there is 10 organiZa ton of the United Spanish American War Veterans. There are no camps duly organized in Alaska as there are not enough veterans in any one place to form an organiza- tion. Hence all veterans of the Spanish War are requested to become members at-large, thus becoming as sociated with the order and receiv- ing the benefits of the order and in position to help other comrades to those benefits. The organization is doing good work for all veterans and it behooves all veterans who are not affiliated with the order to do so as soon as possible and help with this work. Let's get together and show our strength in Alaska and have a large membership-at-large to help the National organization. The under signed will be glad to furnish all in formation and blanks.

Baruch Gives $25O,OOO
TO Take Profit From, War

New York.-For study Of the posi-
bility of maintaining world peace by
taking the profit out Of war, Bernard
M. Baruch has given at least $250000
to the Walter Hines Page school of In
ternadonal relations at Johns Hopkins
university, Owen ID. Young, chairman
of the trustees, has announced.
Investigation will be carried on at
Johns Hopkins and at foreign univer-
stiles, the exact amount Of the gift to
depend on the costs of the studies over
a period Of at least three years, posi-
bly, 100000.
In letter to Mr.. Baruch regarding
the gift Mr.. Young wrote:
Ny taking the profit out of the war
we understand you to mean that you
would limit profits through regulation
so as to prevent profiteering. Certainly.
an absence Of such profits would tend
to repress that jingoism which encour-
ages war, and, If war were begun, to
shorten rather than prolong it.
IF profit is eliminated from war
everywhere, and If the mobilization

AS TO PETT|NG

In the Survey, a woman who has
had wide experience in girls col
leges writes about PETTING. She
comes to the conclusion that if the
college girl DIS to be permitted to pet
in her home and her car, the daugh-
ter Of common folks should not be
chased when she and her boy friend
fondle each other on the public park
bench.
Men of middle age are wondering
whether the young men of today
know something their daddies didn't
Dad wonders if Junior has found
something the old man missed.
The boy of today gets such kick
out of a nip of Illicit gin that his dad
wonders what would have happened
to him in the hard drinking parties
of bygone years. Has the kid start
ed down the toboggan slide to ruin?
Or is he just nice boy TRYING TO
LOOK. WICKED?
Isn't it true that the young folks
of today looking for what they think
is FREEDOM, EXCITEMENT, are
just simply repeating world-old ex-
perience, without any change from
the days since Eden, except possibly
the way they TALK about what they
DO?
And whatever happens, the fact is
that it's the Older folks who hold the
world STEADY, the younger ones
who make it MOVE.
The real test of the young people
of 1926 won't come until they in
turn are middle-aged and in charge
of things. And then they will be
telling their children how things
were done in the good old, steady
days of 1925, before the world went
crazy"

-FOUR REASONS WHY
BEVERLY is WET

There is no denying the fact that
Beverly, compared with any other
American city is pretty wide open
town." as concerns the sale of booze.
Etherized beer and synthetic liquor
in various DISCUSSES are being sold in
at least twelve or eighteen places in
various parts of the town. We don't
pretend to say that prohibition is be-
ing taken seriously at ANY city in
the United States. But in the major
ity of the cities in the West and Mid
die West, the prohibitory law is not
scoffed at quite so boldly as in the
East. And Beverly is represented as
one of the "boldest" of the Eastern
cities in it's attitude toward prohibit
ton.
The situation exists in Beverly de-
spite the fact that the Mayor declar-
ed several months ago that he in
tended to completely put the boot
leggers out of business. We believe
that the Mayor meant exactly what
he said.
But we know that he HASN'T made
good
There are several reasons why the
Mayor, who we believe is sincerely
opposed to Bookkeeping hasn't been
able to stop it,
~ He hasn't the cooperation
of any appreciable part of the Police
Department.
(2) There has been no strong
public sentiment aroused here in
favor of strict law enforcement.
While the Banner has been advocat-
ing such, it has been virtually play
ing lone hand.
90 The dry agents in this local
ity, have been inactive for so long,
that no city official counts on them
for any serious cooperation.
az The so-called practical" poll
ticians in Beverly, recognize that
bootleggers can control votes on
election day. There is no denying
that they have enough influence in
the Police Department and out of 1t
to make prohibition a worse mess
than ever.
We believe the biggest reason of
them all is the absence of any great
organized sentiment in favor of strict
law enforcement. The people, with
but few exceptions, are Indifferent.
But he cannot, and he will not
succeed in closing up the rum joints
unless he overcomeS every one of the
four handicaps enumerated above.
The Banner is presenting these
facts, neither to censure the Mayor
nor to excuse him.
Boiled down, the local situation is
this
We have Prohibition on the Fed
eral statue books and beautiful
snarl in town.
We can only WONDER
How long can such a ridiculous
state of affairs exist, here or any
where?

FAIR SENORITA
CRAZED BY LOVE
Catch Cave Girl in Jump
Too Much for Her
Sweetheart.

Mexico City, Mexico.-Ines Vargas,
a sixteen-year-old senorita as deter
mined as she is romantic, recently
served an ultimatum on her parents to
the effect that, unless they gave their
consent to her marriage with Isidr0
Covarubias within ten minutes, she
would throw herself from the roof Of
the four-story apartment building In
which the Vargas family lived.
Whereupon she fed upstairs, locked
the door leading to the roof and poised
herself on a cornice overlooking Nuevo
Mexico street
Ciriaeo Vargas, the father, tore his
hair in desperation for few seconds
as he reflected that his daughter had
inherited the firm character of her
mother, and the latter, he felt sure
from past experience, would never re-
cede from her stand that Isidro, as a
son-in-law, was impossible. Then he
dashed to the nearest police station,
only block away, to seek disinterest-
ed counsel.

cial had an inspiration. Next to the
police station were the firemen. He
