More Stickers Have
Arrived; New Ones
May Be Used Inside

A new supply OF Where She
Walked" stickers have been received
at the local chamber OF commerce,
and Douglasites are asked to call and
get the stickers so that they may
put them on their cars when going
out of the district.
There are $4,000 stickers in this
allotment, and they are the same as
the other stickers that have been
issued heretofore, except for the fact
that they may be pasted on the
inside of the car instead OF on the
outside.
Letters have been received at the
Douglas chamber OF commerce ever
since the stamps were first issued
and many people in all sections OF
the country have shown interest.
Some of the letters were interesting
in that they inquired as to who
"She" was. However, the stickers
have done much to advertise our
border town.
There have been $4,000 stickers is
sued since "She" walked here. This
illustrates how many people have
seen the advertisement OF Douglas.

BRITISH SOCIETY BUDS
In NO HURRY TO WE'D

LONDON. up - Despite statistics
which show British girls are marrying
younger than formerly, there are in
dications that society buds are in no
hurry to take on the responsibilities
of matrimony.
There are more pretty unmarried
girls who have been officially "out"
in society three or four seasons than
ever before. Many of these are said
to have received three of four offers
of marriage since they were presented
at court.
One reason for this tendency to re-

society miss has developed rather eX-
pensive habits which the average man
cannot keep up with She is having

sons and prefers to dine out and

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
THE COMET PASSES
never believed that the comet

I never believed that the comet
Which I gazed at for night after
night
Would swat this old earth on it's
globular girth
And calmly proceed with its flight.
I watched it along the horizon
And said in a confident tone
''It has SO much room in that ocean
of gloom
It is certain to leave us alone
Though I know that these comets
are tricky,
That they may oftentimeS go aStray
And simply absorb some sidereal orb
That is, loafing around in their way.
l looked upon this one unruffled
AS I'd glance at cab or bus
And sometimes I'd cry ut is coming
close by,
But of course it will never get us. "
1 was, always on watch in the eve
ming,
When I knew that the comet would
pass,
I would search for its place in the
region OF space
Assisting my sight with glass.
1 never felt worried or nervous
AS it nightly kept drawing more
near
"Why bother" quoth I, cit is far in
the sky
There is certainly nothing to fear" ="
And then, as it gradually faded
And grew every evening more small
First luminous spot, then the
tiniest dot
Which hardly could locate at all
No longer I watched by the window
From nightfall till breaking of dawn
THANK goodness" said, as hoped

GOOD TRUCK ROAD
 FOR TEXAS CREEK

That the projected wagon road into the Texas Creek area. will be somewhat better than expected, although of a slightly lower type than the present Salmon River road, was the assurance given by MT. Fred J. Hughes, Bureau of Public Roads engineer, in a recent statement to the Herald.
 According to Mr. Hughes, the specifications call for the con- struction of a highway some what narrower than the Sal, mon River road. It will be a "good trucking road" he says, and fully equal to the present demand for a road for trans porting ore and supplies.
 Starting at the 9-Mile bridge, the highway will run along the swestern slope of Mineral Hill to a point near the gov ernment cabin, thence along the western rim of Cantu Mt. to a point about s4 of a mile above the present Texas bridge. Here the highway will turn westward, cross the north fork of Texas Creek and pro- ceed in a westerly direction along the mountain slope until it reaches the present pack trail, a short distance beyond the switchbacks. The road will be 3.4 miles in length and will have relatively slight gradi- ent throughout. The bridge across the north fork of Texas Creek will have a span of 125 feet and will be 16 feet wide, with concrete piers and SUD- ported at both ends by sub- stantial trestles.
 Advices received by MT. Hughes in recent days indi- cate that the opening of bids submitted for the work, origin ally scheduled for May 26th, has been postponed for some undesignated reason.

GOVERNOR POCKET
 VETOES TWO BILLS

Two bills passed by the re- cent Legislature have failed to become laws by reason of pocket vetoes by Gov. George A. Parks. All other measures enacted have received the Governors signature.
 The bills which the Governor di q not sign within the legal three-day limit and which failed to become laws lacking his signature, were: House Bill No. 57, providing for the discharge of indigent convicts incarcerated for failure to pay fine; and Senate Bill No. 24, providing that all proceed ings under Chapter 36 of title 13, of the Compiled Laws of Alaska relative to proceed figs in the nature of quo war ranto be instituted in the name of the Territory by the Attor- ney General of the Territory.
 Commenting on his failure to sign the first measure, the Governor said he was convinc- ed that such a law would make law enforcement more difficult and could not give it his approval.
 Quo warranto proceedings in Alaska at present are in vested in the United States. He said he saw no reason for g change, particularly as the Government has attorneys throughout the Territory to look after such suits, wherever they might arise. To shift the responsibility to the Territory would mean added expense without commensurate bene- fit. For these reasons, the measure was not approved.

ON B. C.
 SILVER & SEBAKWE

Late reports from B. c. Sil- yer and Sebakwe indicate that development work is proceed ing on both properties, with results that are entirely satis- factory.
 A series of cross cuts driven from the 'Sebakwe main tun- nel are said to have exposed several ore bodies carrying good milling values. In one cross cut IT feet of conner cial ore has been developed. The tunnel on this property has been extended to the northern border of the B. C.. Silver and connected with the underground workings on the latter property by means of a raise, thereby improving the ventilation of both properties.
 The outstanding feature of recent development work on 5. c. Silver is the discovery of fine body of milling ore on the new 4th level in what is known as drift 432. The vein, $ a part of the ID" ore body found on the third level and is said to average around $25 per ton.
 London reports indicate that he Selukwe directors are con- 'idering a program for deep er development outlined by Mir. c. A. Banks, managing ;ng engineer, who stated in l recent report that study of he Premier workings indicates hat the ore bodies in B. c. Silver will occur mainly below

INDEPENDENCE PROMISES
 TO BE BIG THING

With nearly 200 feet of good milling grade ore ranging up to 8 feet in width opened up in the lower tunnel, and with something over 670 feet of the same ore body running up to 20 feet exposed in the upper tunnel, 190 feet above; in ad- dition to several more partial ly developed ore bodies of large dimension, all of which carry good working values. the Independence gives every indication of becoming a pro- life producer. As the ore body found in both tunnels outcrope about 450 feet above the high CT level, and also at points considerably below the lower level, there is ample reason for the opinion that an immense tonnage can be expected from this ore body, without taking into account the possibilities of eleven additional veins of good grade ore known to be included in the same system.

The meeting will take place immediately after the close of the Independence Day celebration meeting and will be open to all who are inter- ested, regardless of whether they are members of the as- sociation or not. In keeping with the custom of earlier years it is proposed to devote a day to enlarging and inn proving the cemetery grounds, with everyone lending a hand at the task; which cannot be accomplished otherwise with out considerable expense. Transportation to and from the cemetery will be provided, but workers will be requested to bring implements. Crosscut saws and axes will be particu- larly useful this year as it is desirable to further enlarge the grounds by removing some of the standing timber. As usual there will be a big mulli- gan and other refreshments, which will be served by the ladies of the community.
 The meeting will also include the annual election of officers.
