That law and order conditions in

any part of the states was the dec

found people everywhere law abid
ing and orderly. He said that before
coming to Alaska he had travelled
a lot through the United States, and
that unquestonably conditions were
better here than elsewhere.
Mr.. Pinneo said that he had read
ia great deal in Outside papers about
conditions of alleged lawlessness in
Alaska. and was astonished to find
that there was absolutely nothing
here upon which to base the charges
He declared that the representative
of the people at Washington ought
to be devoting his time to refuting
these charges rather than giving ear
to them and repeating them before
committees and elsewhere.

The fishing industry. he said, is

\ CHECHAKO' $ LOC
BEING THE ADVENTURES OF A NEWCOMER IN ALASKA WHO AT PRESENT IS WAND BRING AT LARGE IN THE MOOSE PASS, HOPE AND SUNRISE DISTRICTS
(Third day)

The third day was clear with chill in the atmosphere during the early hours of the morning. The Chechako arose at 6::3O, cooked his breakfast of boiled rice, prunes and coffee, made his pack, and started down the Moose Pass road toward Sunrise and Hope. It seemed as though new muscles had over night in the thighs and shoulders, which ached at every step for the first mile or two, but gradual ly these aches worked away, and the pack actually got lighter.
 The country on either side was beautiful in the morning sunlight. The quiet was undisturbed except for the occasional chatter of squirrel or the falling of some leaves, which made quite disturbance when all else was still. AS he approached Mile seven and one half, the Chechako saw log cab in surrounded by a few out-buildings at the left of the road. He set his pack against the rail fence and walked up to the cabin. There he met Henry CouiIlard. The Chechako told MT CouiIlard of his journey from Wiscon sin to Alaska, and then he discovered that Henry Couillard was also a form CT resident of Wisconsin. He had

 AS the Starr family were motor ing to the fish hatchery last even. ing, they scared up bull moose crossing and chased him down to the second bridge. The moose ev- idently decided he was treading a dangerous path at just about this time, for he suddenly swerved off the highway and crashed through the brush heading for up the creek. The bull looked like he was about four years old and would have checked in at around 800 pounds.

left Chippewa Falls, in that state, 30

left Chippewa Falls, in that state, 30 years ago, and for many years, now, he had farmed in Moose Pass. He had already cut 50 tons of hay this season and the vegetables he was raising were a revelation There were about 15 tons of potatoes, some weighing more than one and one-half pounds each. |. There were turnips, carrots, cabbage-all fine vegetables. But in spite of this high quality, MT. Couillard informed the Chechako that there was no market in Alaska open to most of his vegetables. The Che chako wondered: why the people of Alaska import tons of vegetables from the states when thousands of tons of the finest vegetables could be raised right here in the Territory, was beyond the scope of his feeble com prehension.
 The Chechako shouldered his pack once more and travelled on. Now he was fortunate. At Mile nine John Bateman, driving a road commission truck caught up to him and invited him to ride. This he did willingly, for the pack was beginning to grow heavy again. The ride through the scenic Pass was most pleasant, and late that afternoon this stage of the journey ended at the road camp, Mile 31
 There the Chechako met Mug Izey," who is engineer and w. E. O. Criger in official circles. He was at- tired in the characteristic red shirt, with one red and one green sock add ing another touch of color to his cos tune. A most interesting individual, this engineer who had spent most of the years of his life out beyond the outskirts of civilization No man could receive greater tribute than the words of one of the men: "You know" he said, "This man "Muz" is sure hell of a fine guy to work for"
 Then came dinner. John Borg is cook at Mile 31, with Jim Berto as his able assistant. It was the Che chako's first introduction to camp fare and what an introduction! The table fairly creaked under it's load, and the Chechako ate until he was ashamed. And even then John Borge and Jim Berto asked if they could pass him anything more. If road camp like an army, travels on it's stomach, Mile 31 should be able to go a long way.
 That night the Northern Lights were brighter than the Chechako had ever seen before The air was a lit tie cold, containing a reminder that winter was not far ahead. But the Chechako laid his bed roll in a bunk house that night, and it seemed soft indeed as compared with the gravel of the previous camp. Then Lights out."
 Thus the third day passed.
