Members of the last legislature were very solicitous about the can- nery interests in order, as they claim ed, not to discourage the investment of capital in Alaska. But what does this investment amount to? In Bris- tol bay, the cannery companies bring up all the cannery help, practically all the fishermen, pay all this help in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, or wherever their offices are located, and run stores for what little goods the men need during their stay here, while some of the companies operate stores all the year around and actual ly more money is taken out of this re- zion than the cannery companies spend here. How can the Bristol bay region ever become settled or built Up, if the cannery companies take all the resources out of Alaska and leave nothing here to encourage those who desire to make Alaska their home.

Prospecting took place on a larger scale last year in the Nushagak re- zion than ever before Activities took place on Wood river lakes, Kalkwalk river Mulchatna river proper and other streams. So far as we have learn ed, the only strike made was by R. A. Smith on Bonanza creek. Smith was the discoverer, some ten years ago, of the Watermoose placer finds on Good News bay and has discovered other good paying placer claims.

The catch of furs on the Nushagak river the past year was the lightest ever known. Red fox seeming to be almost exterminated and the same con- ditions are reported to the north coast. Old trappers hold to the theory that the red fox are annually migrating to Uimak island, where thousands are trapped every season and shipped to the Seattle and Tacoma sales.

For the first time in the history of the Nushagak river, the run of salmon was a complete failure, some of the ships having to take on ballast to make good sailing home. Something besides Wm.

Charles A. Lindbergh, the air mail

Major William B. Robertson, pres

Captain Lindbergh was much in

their agents continued the activities
Of which complaint was made, and
added:
Surely the question should be-
why not before? Why have not his
majesty's government with so much
information before them. with these
constant and fragrant breaches OF
understanding and of all diplomatic
courtesy and friendly relations, sew
cred those relations long ago.
The government cannot longer
take the responsibility in maintain
ing diplomatic relations. which, SO
conducted and so abused. are not an
instrument of peace, but contin-
ued source of irritation and dan
ger"
Speaking for the liberals, Mr..
Lloyd George declared he did not
deny that the soviets had not kept
faith; that the evidence before the
government justified a rupture, but
it was his opinion that the time was
not opportune for break and the
consequences would be serious.
THE government have exercised
a wise patience" he added, but
now they have blundered their case,
for break is weak. / tell the
without hesitation that
their white paper shows signs of

The former premier was referring
to the white paper issued yester-
day by the British government con-
the documents alleged to

PALATIAL 'MALOLO'>
NOW BUT A Wreck
Tugs Hauling Merchant Marine
Pride Into Port

New York, May % Rl-The new
giant Matson liner Malolo, helplessly
crippled in collision with freight
er off Nantucket lightship on the
first day of her trial cruise. today
was being slowly towed to New York
by wrecking tugs.
The S7.000.o00 queen OF the mer-
chant marine. with approximately
$50 persons aboard, labored on its
$50 mile journey to port while coast
guard destroyers steamed about the
neighborhood ready to transfer pas
sengers and crew should need arise.
A gaping hole was torn in the side
of the liner and Its boiler rooms
were flooded in collision with the
Norwegian freighter Jacob Christen-
sen in a heavy fog late Wednesday,
Is miles off Nantucket lightship.
The size Of the Malolo, $4,000
ton vessel, made towing difficult.
The liner is not expected to reach
New York until tomorrow or Sun
day.
Two wreclSing tugs of the Merritt

Chapman and Scott corporation of
New York had the vessel in tow.
reported she was moving at the rate
of about five knots an hour. The
sea was smooth and the fog clear
ing. The condition of the vessel was
reported unchanged. There was no
additional prospect of danger.
Rough seas and the heavy fog
blanket through which relief craft
were forced to grope their way to
the stricken steamer Wednesday
evening prevented transfer of pas
sengers and delayed towing opera
lions.
After heavy steel cable from the
Malolo to the Gulf Refining COM
pany's tanker Gulfland parted, the
tugs secured hawsers and the towing
started about p. M, yesterday.
Officials of the Matson Line and
ten Cramp Shipbuilding corporation
of Philadelphia, builders of the
liner, are among htose aboard. The
vessel left Philadelphia Tuesday for
seven day test cruise off Rockland,
Me.

MRS. WAUGH SERIOUSLY
INJURED AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. Pearl Waugh was most e
iously. If not fatally injured on
Tuesday evening in an auto acct
den which occurred just south of the
Harry Huyck home on the South
fork road. The car was being driv-
en- by Bud Cox, who was uninjured.
Mrs. Waugh was rushed to the
Powell hospital where she is be-
ing given the best of care, but her
injuries are such. a broken hip
bone and fractured thigh that her
recovery is very doubtful.
Mrs. Waugh had been put for a
little ride with Mr.. Cox, and ac-
cording to eye witnesses they were
coming down the hill from the
Southfork at a very fast rate of
speed, making the turn at the foot
of the hill the car swerved in the
road, and due to a recent rain it
was impossible to right 1t on the
slippery road. In turning over the
car landed directly across Mrs.
Waugh's body, leaving the upper
portion of her body on the outside
of the a and pinning her under
1t until help arrived to lift the car.
Bud was also caught under the cal

%PLENTYCOOS
TO BE HONORED
GUEST AT STAMPEDE
Time to be Present at Eighth
Annual Stampede

The directors of the Cody SIAM
pede have just received the final
word from Chief Plentycoos of the
Crow tribe that he will accept the
invitation to come to Cody for the
Cody Stampede. and special ar
,rangements are being made for the
trip to Cody and his entertainment
while here.
There is no more outstanding
character in Indian history today
than Chief Plentycoos, who at a
tribal convention held at Washing
ton, D. c., last year, was chosen
chief of all the Indian tribes. AL
though his exact age can only be
reckoned, it is thought that this
wonderful old chieftain is in his
early eighties. With him from the
reservation will come countless In
dams with their squaws, papooses
and racing ponies, and they are
always headliners OH the Stampede
amusement program.
The Crow Indians, as well as the
Sioux, are what is known as horse
Indians. and the old wariers al
ways speak with pardonable pride
of the ancient prowess of their
braves in the art of morse stealing
at the expense of their enemy. the
Sioux.
Both the Grow and Sioux laid
claim to parts of the same hunting
ground, and horse-acquiring noe
turnal visits to rival camps were
one Of the chief diversions, if not
professions of the younger bucks OF
both tribes. Spotted ponies espec-
tally it appears, were the coveted
prize. of these expeditions Of the
Grow. and in the number of these
painted ponies, the Crows always
had the advantage.
