 Mrs. Sowa testified that Roy call ed at her home Monday and asked HOW nucH money she wanted for the dog. She told him she would not take s10O, as the dog was her children's playmate. She said Roy stopped his car short distance down the street after striking the dog.
 Roy, in his own defense, said bc was driving on Spring street and saw the dog in the road. He brought his car to a stop and thinking the dog had passed in safety, he proceeded until his daugh- ter called to him that she felt q jar and thought the dog had been struck.

People Living Outdoors

London, Sept. 1 P)-The popula- tion of the Island of Fayal, in the Azores islands. lying 800 miles off the coast of Portugal is living out door terror stricken after yester- days disastrous earthquake, which meage dispatches describe as the worst in the history of the archi- pelago.
 In Horta, the chief city of Fayal, which was largely destroyed, most of the 5000 citizens spent the night in the public squares. Large cracks have appeared in the streets, and the people were afraid to return to their homes in the fear of renewed shocks.
 Casualties Not All Known
 It has been impossible to learn the exact number of casualties, which are estimated at from 50 to 400 of the islands 25,000 popula- ton, The Portuguese government, 10 which the islands belong, is rush ing a relief expedition to the Azores. This includes warships with psup- plies, sanitary corps and engineers.
 From advices thus far received by way of Lisbon ths island Of Fayal Is declared to be "a mass of ruins, especially the city of Horta.'
 This information was sent by the mayor of Horta. He estimated the injured at 400 but made no mention of fatalities. Lloyds, however, re-
 EnnU0 10 have been killed in Horta.
 Tidal Wave Sweeps Town
 Neighboring islands in the archi- pelago also were affected by the dls- turbance. The small village of Fer eira was swept by tidal wave.
 The first shock was felt at II o'clock Tuesday morning. It was followed by series of other shocks, some of them of minor nature.
 The message sent by the mayor ot Horta to the authorities in Lisbon said the aspect of Fayal island ana the suffering of the victims were terrible to witness. The catastrophe was beyond description,
 Photographic communication with the islands was badly hampered py in, disturbance and only meager ln- formation was obtainable in Llspoh' where during the afternoon and evening the central telegraph offices were thronged with persons having relatives or friends in the archlpel- ago. Although the Azores which are of volcanic origin, frequently nave heen shaken by earthquakes, the latest phenomenon is said to nave heen the worst ever experienced.
 Greece also was shaken by strong earthquake yesterday. but IL is said the damage was not great and that no casualties had been re- ported.

with the least possible law infrac ton. Instead of denying the ex istence of what is apparent to every casual inquirer there should be mani tested daring spirit for at least reasonable reforms. It is the cour- age of faith that insures victory in raking Alaska towns safe and re- spectable for wives and children.
 These thoughts have been suggest ed to me after hearing the prphetic words of one of America's greatest divines, Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle. He seems to have visioned some of the Alaska towns when he recently declared: Righteousness exalteth nation, but sin is a re- proach to any people. A city that tolerates vice, condones crime, vio- lates law, disregards authority and repudiates it's obligations, is a city that is already doomed and damned. But a city that obeys law, respects authority"

TOM TOUCHES FOR HIMSELF

As Independent" candidate Tom Narquam did not declare himself on any public issue during his summer rowing thru the First division, many are wondering just what his Con- gressional issue will be when he returns south on his Farewell" tour Possibly little light may be thrown on the subject from a yer sion given by recent passenger from the westward. He says that Tom was making a loud and az
 gressive speech over there, when Colored man in the rear of a hall said to companion, "Who Is dat man speakin'?" And Nose replied, "L doan know, but he certainly do recommend hisself most highly" And the Seward Gateway, after first lauding Tom to the skies in the delegate contest, now seriously ad- monishes it's readers. "Let your conscience be your guide" But then Tom will have had fine long vacation in the enjoyment of part of the "slush fun" and that's more then his other "Independent" can didates will get out of the campaign.

WHY DENY VICE EXISTENCE?

It is rather amusing to read the Subsidized Press of Alaska and note with what glee the editors republish and reiterate any reference to the American Magazine article that cri- ticised some of the fest spots of Alaska. They seem to think that if sthey could show that Delegate Suth- erland in any way endorsed the art iclc that it would mean his doom for reelection. They make no at tempt to deny specific facts stated but seek to create the impression that all Alaskans were attacked" and all sections were referred to.
 Of course in all frontier cities and towns vice conditions have always and do now exist. They are recog- Enized but hard to control. San Fran Eeisco had her Barbary Coast for years, but public sentiment and ci- vic pride eventually secured it's abolishment Seattle had her re- cent Olmstead bootlegging scandal that involved police and business 1"en. Recently the Gaines atrocity shocked the country, but jury in Seattle returned a verdict of guilty against the offender and decreed that he should hang.
 Notwithstanding these and other notorious offenses, which were rec ognized but not condoned, San Francisco and Seattle continue to grew and prosper. The people of these cities know that there always will be law violations, and they everlastingly seek to curb them rather then to deny or ignore their existence So, in Ketchikan, Bris- tol Bay, and even Juneau, there has been ample cause for sane and req sonable housekeeping. It is a con- dition that affects local people and communities. Tourists passing llru in greater numbers than ever hefore,do not finger long enough to have their sensibilities shocked. 1heyare delighted with the scenic wonders of the Northern trip.
 We are all prone to slip or fall in one way or another, but ehould be the feeling of every public spirited and decent minded Alaskan to want his town to exist and prosper

There's This S@I Human Side" To Gasoline
 and Oil-
vey human one, tnk-here in the West-to Union Non detonating Gasoline and Motor Oil And believe that
 you'll be interested in it

They want to make better gasoline, a better oil, to satisfy natural desire to work, achieve, surpass, succeed, for it is simply human to do that.
 If you could ask any of our chemists. or Union Oil refners, or research men -the men who handle the processes, or those who check results TT about the quality of non-detonating Union Gaso- line and non-carbonizing Western ARISTO Motor Oil, their conviction, we believe, would convince you. Their belief would inspire yours. Their enthu- siasm makes you enthusiastic.
 In them you would find the ''person- ality'' in ''Union" and < 'Aristo," for these simple-looking liquids are ''the children of these men.

The Alaskan., 1926-09-17

You know what it means. 1t isn't extra money in a salary raise or a large income that you enjoy so much. It is the achievement of which the money is the evidence, and you get the ''kick" from that.
 So it is with "Union Oil," with Union Oil di- rectors and employees.
The Alaskan., 1926-09-17

VOU, probably, don't think much \ about the gasoline and oil you use. You buy good grade. One makes your motor go. The other lubricates it. You don't check up very accurately on mile age or on costs. You simply get "ten gallons" or "a quart" and off you go. Hts rather impersonal.
 
 And yet gallon of gasoline and quart of oil are chock-full of personality!
 There is the personality of those ex- eremely human beings who are intensely interested in making theirs the best, even If it be by but a shade-and there are people like that in oil companies, just as you may be ike that in the business you are in.
 Speaking for this Company, we can say that we have hundreds of them all vibrant personalities and ali eager to excel. For when they do excel they rise, and are promoted, and their wives, their children and their friends are proud of Sher,,
The Alaskan., 1926-09-17

Sity, you WOuIo never again think of non -deto- mating Union Gasoline and non- carbonizing Western ARISTO Motor Oil as anything else bus intense ly human things.
 And you would be, as we are, so naturally and logically prejudiced in favor of them that you would use them always in your car thereafter.
