SEWARD FIRST AGAIN

Avery Brundage, the Chicago con- tractor who visiter Seward a couple of times last summer while enjoying a big game hunt to the Westward, wrote to Leanord Hopkins recently, that Stewards claim of having the most northerly handball court in the U. s. A., is shot full of holes for, while enroute back to the States, via the Yukon, he discovered an old, unused court at Dawson. However, he added, Seward can probably, in all truthful ness, lay claim to having the most northerly active court.

Alaska seems peculiarly fortunate in

 far from being a stranger in Seward,
 he having made two previous trips
 here, SeWardites have had the oppor- t tunity this week of again making the
 acquaintnce of R. F. Wright, Radio
 Inspector from the Bremerton Navy Yard.
 MT. Wright has just completed his annual trip of inspection of the Prib- ilofs, the St. Paul station, where the Navy is contemplating change The Navy would like to seperate the com pass station from the traffic station in line with administering better ser- vice to ships. Many delays, in this connection, have been encountered in the past and it is believed the only way to remedy the situation is by sep- erating them.
 Two sites for a compass station, a. side from St. Paul, have been recom l mended, it is stated.
 Considerable installation was made l at Dutch Harbor, reference of which | was made in The Gateway few days ago. Last year it will be recalled the ! Navy installed an entire new equip . ment, including tube sets, at the Ko- diak station
 Referring to the local Army radio station MT. Wright remarked of the splendid work which has been accom- plished and that the station is cer- tainly model of efficiency. He was very much impressed syith the oil burners, taking the place of coal, add ing he was heartily in favor of them for use in radio stations.
 Taking passage on the s. s. Yukon this evening MT. Wright goes to the CordoVa station where he will remain for possibly week. From there he goes to the Sitka station where fully a months work awaits him, after which he sets sail for home, Bremen ton.

THE EVENING STORY

Edith held up her face to their caress.
What wonderful world it was! For.
gotten were the sorrows and troubles
which had beset her 10 years. Tonight
she would be happy.
A trim maid admitted Edith and
showed her to the parlor where Mrs.
French and Miss Gordon, who had
already arrived. were seated before
the fireplace talking. AS Edith entered
the room Mrs. French arose and in a
delightful, cordial manner welcomed
her, and taking her hand, led her 70
the fire and introduced her to Miss
Gordon. For moment Edith was
quite speechless. Never before had
she seen anything so perfectly lovely
rs Miss Gordon. Miss Gordon might
have been 80. At any rate, she had
the air of sophistication which is SO
fascinating to 10. She was blond and
far more beautiful than nature had
intended her to be. Though Of this
Edith was unaware. She, too. wore a
pink gown. but of shade that could
not be bought for 10 cents at the
corner drug store. 1t was satin-one
of those gowns that defy imitation and
empty ones purse to buy it. 1t had
cost nearly as much as Edith could
nave earned in a whole year
Soon after Ediths entrance the
maid ushered in another guest; this
time is was Harry Case. From that
time on things became very interest
ing indeed
Harry Case was fine. manly look
ing fellow of 81. He had finished col
lege and was spending q year work
ing in his fathers office learning what
he could of the business before enter
ing the firm as a partner.
The dinner which followed was per.
feet in every detail. Edith, completely
absorbed in the pleasure of her first
really fine dinner party, was Encon-
scious of anything save her own en-
joyment. She was simply an attrac.
tive young girl. beautiful. as youth is
always beautiful, and her lack of self
enhanced her charm,
but beside Miss Gordon she was as
a tiny taper compared to an incan-
descent light. Mrs French, how.
ever, saw that every attention was
showered impartially upon her guests
and she also seemed to be thourough.
ly enjoying herself.
When the guests returned to the
parlor Miss Gordon seated herself
upon a big gray davenport and, pat
ting the seat by her side, said to
Edith:
'Come, my dear: sit beside me.
Let us get acquainted"
Under the bright light which the
chandelier threw directly on their
faces Edith looked like pink rose
bud. while Miss Gordon, with her
touched up skin and penciled eye
brows. looked decidedly artificial

Harry Case, who had seated himself
directly facing the two girls, looked
from one to the other at first in sur
prise; and then in growing convic-
ton. Miss Gordon was in her live
liest mood and all went well until
Mrs. French was called to the tele-
phone. Then Miss Gordon's wits
seemed to vent itself on poor Edith,
who was bewildered by the change
in the woman's manner. The fifteen
minutes which followed were the
most uncomfortable that Edith had
ever endured. She felt she was be-
ing dissected for Harrys benefit,
but she endured it all politely. She
was, however, glad almost to tears
when Mrs. French returned to the
room and the maid brought in the
card table. The bad quarter of an
hour had done it's work and left
Edith with the joy of the evening
At ten Miss Gordon decided it was
time for her to go home, and to Mrs

AS Mrs. French turned from the
door and reached to turn off the
lights she caught sight Of herself
in the long mirror over the fire
place and smiled at her reflection.
Her little plan had worked very
nicely, and Harry's career was safe
in the hands of Edith and all she
stood for. 1t had been daring thing
to do, but Harriet French loved her
nephew as if he were her own son.
She had resolved that he would rot

would hinder or complicate his fu-
Iure. She had been troubled hV the

French's offer Of her car Miss Cor
don shook her head and with an
arch look at Harry Case said she
preferred to walk. But Harry failed
to catch the look and, turning to
Edith, he asked her If he might
walk home with her.
Thus the party left the house, Miss
Gordon laughing merrily and in
sisting that she had had q most
delightful evening, dear Mrs.
French" but with scarcely a good
night to Harry and Edith, who walk

|qAX SLASH SEEN;
/ FIGHT is PROMISED
Democrats Prepare to Com
bat G. O. P. Plan by Favor
ing Bigger Cut.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Latest Treasury figures absolutely
assure a substantial tax reduction.
This will be felt by the taxpayer next
March on the basis Of incomes being
earned during the current year 1927.
This is the situation which, while
gratifying to officials, is not going to
make them issue any rosy promises
at this time. For the only uncertain
factor in the whole problem is the
spending proclivity of the next Con
gress. and there are indications that
It is by no means a mere desire to APP
propriate for special needs, but an
urgent necessity to take care of the
Mississippi; flood requirements and
programs already authorized for pub
lie buildings and related projects.
Democrats Plan Fight.
The politics of the matter, however,
has been apparent from the first. and
is conceded by Republican leaders,
who admit that it is necessary to make
as good a showing as possible for the
presidential campaign, and also Stlmu-
| late the prosperity of the country by
providing more funds for general
spending that might otherwise have
gone to pay taxes.
Under the circumstances, the Demo-
Gratis are preparing to combat the Re.
publican plan by cutting the tax rates
still further. and if that isn't feasible.
then they will advocate cuts where a
! larger number of taxpayers will be
effected. This has been Democratic
policy for several years. and has been
difficult for the Republicans to over
come except by series of compro-
misses.
I The big question, which will not
be answered until there is a more
Intensive analysis of the returns, is
the exact productivity of the present
rates. A feeling is being developed
that the tax rates can safely be re-
lduced on several items. because as
the rate is less burdensome there is
! less avoidance and a better collection.
This unquestionably will be the argu-
Iment used in an attempt to get sur
tax rates down though there is little
hope that any material change in sur
tax rates can be made. The taxpayer
affected by surtaXes will undoubtedly
get some relief.
Will Attack Indirect Taxes.
! The drive next time will be to re-
peal many of the indirect taxes. to
reduce corporation taxes back to their
rates of two years ago and to raise
the exemption limits so as to relieve
an even larger number of persons of
the obligation of paying anything. 1t
would not be surprising to see an effort
made by some groups in Congress to
exempt all married persons with an in
come of $1,000 or under from further
taxation. This will not be easily de-
feated. If at all. for the largest num-
Der of voters comes under that limit,
and there are hardly more than 700-
900 persons with incomes of $4,000
or over.
There Is a school Of thought in
Congress which objects to the idea of
taxing few people to pay the entire
expenses of Government, and they
viii instead advocate that some small
tax is preferable at all times to total
exemption and is safer in the long
run from the standpoint of being able
to calculate definitely on future in
come for the Government.
