Love Always Finds a Way!
Former Laundry Workers, Now Mllionaires, Touring
 World on Related Honeymoon.

Arkansas City. Kas.. Oct. 29.- Love will always find a way.
 Thirty years ago Mrs. Laura Atom, a young widow with two small sons to support, worked in the little Empire laundry here. It was owned by c. N. Hunt. mayor and postmaster for IS years.
 One. of the settlers in Oklahoma's famous Cherokee strip. c. c. Endi- colt, came along. married her. and took her to his newly claimed farm, where with her meager sav- ings they bought an additional 160 acres of farm land.
 Times continued hard. however. To hold the land they had bought Mrs. Endicott had to run a hand laundry, and she and her husband and her two sons went through many long years of very hard work. The land was not very good. and while they would gladly have sold 1t they could find no buyers.
 Then. in 1921. they found them- selves plopped into one of Okla homas traditional fairy tales The Comar Oil company leased Mrs. Endi- cott's land. and struck a gusher of prodigious size. For three years she enjoyed an income of more than $5.000 a day: in a short time the family moved to California and be- gan to enjoy their new riches. They were millionaires, several times over.
 A year ago Mir. Endicott died, and the woman was again a widow.
 Thirty years ago a young man worked in the little Empire laundry here-one Dave C. Twedell. He and the young widow were sweethearts. They might have married had not some turn of fate separated them: and when she married Endicott, Twcdell moved to Arizona, where he too was married.
 A year ago Mrs. Twede,i died.
 Recently Mrs. Endicott cl,anced to pass through Phoenix. Ariz. There she met her old friend, Dave Twedeil. They fell in love all over again-and not long ago they were married, by a minister who had also been a fcl- low-worker in the Empire laundry 30 years ago.

HIS FRIENDS By Mrs. ARnex UIvnc

Carl Ewald in his book My Little Boy" writes charmingly of his little boys first sweetheart.
 The young man brought her in from the playground one day and announced that he was going to marry her. He was about five and she was year or more older. She was fat and dirty and possessed of more appetite than intelligence. She was stuffy and slow and certainly did not come of a very good family. But she was the girl of his choice and she charmed him.
 The little boys mother was all for casting out this unprepossessing fi- ancee. But his father felt quite rightly that in matters of the heart we cannot dictate 10 others. So the young lady was made welcome. True. before they were permitted to play together, she had usually to be sub tected to . vigorous scrubbing and

fed great quantities of food, but this was no barrier to their youthful hap. piness. The affair ran its course un- til another and fairer charmeP usurped her place.
 The moral is clear. Children must choose theeir own friends. In our eyes their virtues and charms may be conspicuously absent. but 1t is not for us 10 pass judgment. Whoever they are. whatever they are, we must take them in and make them wel- come
 If they are vulgar. stupid and un- trustworthy it will not be long before our child finds it out. Soon enough he will be bored or repelled. Mean while he has learned something of the art of human relationships.
 When we mock our child's choice of friends We do violence to his best instincts. How can a child develop loyalty if at home he must stand by while his friends are made fun of or criticized? He must feel like . traitor when later on he plays with them down the street. How shall he learn tolerance if not by a catholic taste in friends? He will get on bet- ter with people all his life for hav- ing had all sorts of friends when he was little.

Health Hints
HY DIR. NORRIS EISHEElN Editor Jo,irtaaI Of the American Medical dissertation and Of Hy-
 gcia, the Health Magazine

The train dispatchcrs job is try ing one. Working for eight con- secutive hours under a high tension and with maximum of responsi- bility. he is under almost continuous mental strain.
 His work includes amiiarization with all bulletins issued from the superintendents offict. changes in the timetable. changes in orders, changes in track construction, preparation ot reports, he reporting of trains ard emergencies.
 Study Their Gases
 He is supposed to watch the weather to issue instructions to train crews and to observe the activities of the trainmcn to make certain that they have the proper hours of work and rest.
 The train dispatchers have begun to think that their cases have been overlooked and to assemble informa- ton relative to industrial conditions and their effects on health.
 In period of 10 years there were 359 deaths among $500 train dispatchers and the average age at death was 50 years somewhat be- low the average of other workers.
 The causes of death seem to parallel closely thos" of the gen. eral public, including 7G deaths from heart disease. 43 from ;popleAy or similar conditions associated with high blood pressure. 31 from pneu- monia. 31 from influenza. 23 from tuberculosis. etc.
 or Public Interest
 Neyerth eless. the responsibility resting on train dispatchers is such that their phy hysical health is mat orally. Certainly they. as well as all other railroad employes, should be given a periodic examination so that the insidious onset of disease may not result in sudden failure of health which will mean death not only to the individual concerned. but perhaps to hundreds of persons de- pending on his physical and mental condition.
 Incidentally one of the sad as- poets of the matter is that the train dispatcher's magazine. which is de- voted to the interests of this trade. contains in q recent issue some four pages of utter pishposh regarding nutrition, promoting the views of faddists and contrary to established fact in this field.

Velvets, Silks
 In Novelties
Smartly Attired Women
 Are Wearing These.

New York. Oct. .s (UP)-A gen- eral survey of the silk shops in New York supplies concrete evidence Of the present taste for fabric novelties. Contrasted with the minimum show ings of patterned fabrics last fall. the gay appearance of silk depart ments is especially impressive. dem onstrating the tremendous growth in novelties during a single year.
 Fashion favor for printed velvets and novelty velvets of all types has led to az large selection of designs as possible. all of which were speci- fled for delivery in time to mer- chandise them immediately following the Paris openings. Consequently. complete ranges are now on view. offering the consumer a width of choice that is almost without par allcl in a fall season. Metals have been relegated to the background in most shops. with all attention con- centrated on velvets.,
 Novelty is not restricted to vel- vets. however. Some of the new WeaveS of the year-new satins. new moires and new taffetas have an im- portant place in showings, as have a host of printer novelties for day. time wear Wool-tilled crepe failles, Canton crepes, and flat crepes print ed with cravat and woolen designs are the subject of much exploitation. In this group also is included satin crepes printed on either the dull or the shiny side, the former being con- sidered as somewhat more important this year.
 Moires are now shown in both daytime and evening colors and nearly every shop that makes a point of fashion is accenting some version of printed moire-plaided. lowered or even more simply spot ted

 Exactly" Lillian said. Depend upon it. she has some crazy idea that it's up to her to find out what Mary's doing-that incident of the dropped check book which she Lad to know about was enough to set her imagination working overtime.

More than 75 inquiries already have been received by the Alaska department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce from persons interest ed in the excursion which the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the Young Mems Business Club of Seattle plan to make to Alaska, leaving here June 2. The 20O0-mile trip to western Alaska, going as far ds Anchorage, on a special steam ship, will require 16 days in all.

Now if the Bureau of Fisheries prCpogandist who is putting out the stuff being published in our good contemporary in Chinook, ,Wn., will just publish for us the name of any one stream in Alaska which has benefited by the operations of hatch cries we will show him where a dozen other streams have been des- troyed by this same system.
 We call attention to the fact that in the election of two years ago the fish hatchery and fish commits sion of Alaska was an issue, in the First Division. Men sponsoring this bureau and commission failed of election and those opposing them were elected and in that same cleo tion the hatchery and commission were Dotn wiped out. Now If tho report of the Observer is true might it not be worth reporting to the electorate of the Territory in order that full benefit may be obtained from such propagation if true. How ever, we will only ask the name of one salmon stream which was not failure because of the hatchery system.
 We affirm that IN SPITE OF THE HATCHERY SYSTEM and IN SPITE OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES the salmon return. But for how long?

THE VALUE OF ALASKA Seattle Business Chronicle

Alaskans mines from 1880 to the end of 1927 produced grand total of $5s6,OOO.O0O. Biggest fact or in this output of wealth was gold. with total of $36O.700, 900. At end of 1926 the gold mines had yielded 17,43O,0O0 fine ounces, of value of 5,30S,000, of which 2243,679,OOO was from placer and $116,6 6,629,00O was from lode mines. Copper is second mineral in value with production up to the end ct last of $196,182,S78. For a decade copper has annually exceeded in value the output of all other miner als. Alaska's smallest annual pro- duction of minerals since 1880 was s1104,9S0 in 1903, and it's largest wss $4S,3s6,5O0 in 1916. The hgur6S covering a single resource are an eloquent testimonial of the value of the Territory.
 The figures covering this single resource are an eloquent testimonial of the value of the territory to Seattle and adjecent territory. What sort of a testimonial are they to the hard working Alaskan at any tlme. What value Is any industry to Alaska when 95 percent of its revenues is spent in developing Seattle real estate and Washington industries?

This rate is one cent higher than the minimum price of last season The top price there last year was 19 cents at the low peak of the salmon runs.
 A committee was appointed for the fishermen to set the price for fall salmon. A minimum price for 1 1 cents per pound has already been established and date will be set for the beginning of the minimum price. For some reason the union and the packers seem able to get together on the Sound and Colum- bia River country. In Alaska il seems to be the policy of the can ners not to know what they are go- ing to pay for salmon until after the season is about half over. We are willing to wager right now, even though the packers are getting ready to pack and the season not so far off, that they do not know what they are going to pay-so they will say. It is generally conceded however, that the prices are set in Seattle during the winter but none of the packers wish to let the prices be known.

MORE HATCHERY BUNK

From Chinook Observer, Wn.
 Are hatchery operations success full in building up the run ot salmon?
 There is no question of the ef- fectiveness of artificial hatcheries in perpetuating the salmon runs. Numerous instances can be cited in this state where the runs have been wholly absent or were depict ed to an alarming extent, and by tfe introduction of artificial hatch ing methods wonderful runs have been built up.
 It is interesting to note the ef- feet of hatcheries in Alaska during the past year where the run az a whole was total failure.
 THIS DOES NOT OBTAIN, HOW EVER, ON THE STREAMS WHERE HATCHERIEs WERE MAINTAIN ED.

WHY?

When the election judges were sworn in for duty on Tuesday 1t was found that their were only 75 ballots for the entire precinct. With a very quiet election yet polling 13O votes the question is asked why were there not more ballots sent here. Is that all the respect that they have for the voters of Peters burg? We expect such treatment at Rake, Angoon, Hoonah and other native villages. But at Petersburg it is unthinkable.
