about the place is no ape-man or
geological rarity. but merely a pro-
spective purchaser of the farm,
dressed up in fur coat and endeav-
oring by his antics to brighten away
the two orphaned sisters. who inher-
tied the farm on the death of their
father three weeks ago, SO that the%
will sell cheaply.
The Minor girls, MeryI, aged 10.
and Mildred, aged 16. are armed and
ready to shoot, he said, and other
residents of the neighborhood also
have their shotguns at hand and
will brook no ape-man real estate
tactics in the vicinity in the future.

succeeded in frightening Frank Mil

The Miner sisters, however, insist
that they are not afraid and that
they will retain and till the acres

made by the various committees

90 days ago.
The meeting was preceded by a
fine oyster supper In Drummond hall,
furnished by Norton & Gowing of the
Stoddard House. There were more
than 100 persons at the supper. a
good attendance when it is consid-
cred that 60 members of the Ma

men and interested in the chamber of
commerce, took part in a blub sup

before the chamber meeting was an
nounced. Many of these attended the
meeting which took place after the
supper.

code which was adopted after the
slight amendments had been sug
gested and approved. These will be
printed in booklet form for general
distribution. The unused farms COM

tised as soon as the lists could be
completed. both in the newspapers
and by the use of printed booklets
containing suitable descriptions and
other information. A number Of m

 Very truly yours
 ARTHUR FRAME
 In reply to the above, MT. Murray says:
 Cordova, Alaska, July 20, 1926 Arthur Frame, Esq,
 Anchorage, Alaska.
 Dear Arthur:
 I came from my camp few days ago on my way to the coast and re. ceived yours of July 9 at Mccarthy I note that I have been placed on the executive committee of the An chorage Republican club, and I note your suggestion question as to wheth- CT the Republicans of my part of the country intend to go down the line TOT the entire tlckeL.
 Speaking for myself, I will not vote for Sutherland. I have not been to the states for over twenty-one years. Most of the past twenty-three years has been spent by me in the woods, and the breeding lonliness of the life I have lived among Alaska's purple hills for many years has caused me to be sensitive even to strangers maligning our people.
 Confning myself to the terrible at- tack made upon Judge Ritchie, I am alarmed that organized malice can produce the situation which resulted in MT. Coolidge's withdrawing Judge Ritchie's name from the senate. There is a keen remembrance of the long struggle to have our appointive off, cers chosen from among our own people, and it seems tragedy to lose the results of that long and painful struggle on one hand.
 Judge Ritchie is a scholarly lawyer and a just man; judicially tempered, fair in his decisions and humane in his judgments against unfortunate fellow men. He has trodden the trail of judicial rectitude untouched by fattery and unawed by slander. I cannot vote for MT. Sutherland who commanded the forces so atrociously attacked the judge of the Third divi- sion.
 The expression of these sentiments may have evil effect upon my own candidacy-such is the fortune of war and politics; but the struggle through life teaches us that we cannot pack water upon both shoulders. I have a full realizing sense that my own election is neither important nor nes cessary to the people of the Third divi- sion; but the safety of the American government depends upon the free dom and integrity of our judges.
 Yours truly
