Report from Anchorage says that MT. Grigsby de- voted considerable attention to the Controller Bill branding it as FALSE ISSUE
 He denounced the last Controller bill because writ ten by Wickersham and introduced by Paul and pro- vded for only three officers to be elected at large He wanted Controller bill with member from each division thereof.
 The FISHERMAN will not quarrel with the details and while believe three officers sufficient and more economical we would accept board with FOUR if the People of Alaska wished it Tn the people wished member from each division, would say that there is danger of deadlock and would suggest FIVE, one member to be elected at large
 But Grgsby charges that the First Division would hog it because of it's greater voting power This gument is not American and suggests a return to the ''rotten borough" system of England abolished in 1882 Also it has not been true in practice. The

bined effort of all the people.
 Edwin M Stanton, Secretary of War in Lincoln's cabinet, said to General Halleck in 1864, when Bishop Whipple of Minnesota was in Washington on behalf of the Sioux Indians:
 What does Bishop Whipple want? If he has come here to tell us of the corruption of our Indian system, and the dishon- esty of Indian agents, tell him that we know it. But the Gov ernment never reforms an evil until the people demand it. Tell him that when he reaches the heart of the American peo- pie, the Indians will be saved" (Rt. Rev. Henry B. Whipple, Lights and Shadows of a Long Episcopate" [19OO] D. 144.)

Anton HarbO Dies

Anton Harbo died at his home in
Revere Thursday morning, November
LIST, at The age of So years, 2 months
and 20 days. He was born in Linden
Township, Brown County, August IL,
1876, and there he spent his boyhood
days and grew up to manhood.
He began farming in 1898 in Lin
den Township, where he stayed four
years, when he bought a farm in
Redwood County, seven miles north
west of Revere. He moved up there
and farmed till 1919, when he moved
to Revere and farmed north of Revere
until his death.
In 1898 he was married to Miss Ma
ry Wiste, and ten children were born
to them, who are all living, namely:
Stanley Harbo of Armstrong, Iowa,
Mrs. H. Buyssa and Mrs. John Kluck-
ing, both of Lucan, Oliver Harbo,
Walnut Grove, Miss Clara Harbo of
Mankato, and Russell, Howard, Ford
yce, Norman and Helen at home.
The funeral was held Sunday from
the home at 1:3O and from the Eng
fish Lutheran church at Revere at 2
o'clock. Rev. Bruins conducted the
services, and a quartet, consisting Of

CURB FIRE MENACE

There is no greater menace to our
national progress and prosperity than
fire. Each year in America this de-
stoyer takes ten times the amount
it takes in Europe.
1t is estimated that the loss by
fire in 1926 averaged about $780,
900 daily, reaching a total for the
year of $560,O00,000. The rapidity
of increase is shown by the feat that
ten years before in 1918, the loss was
about $258,377, 1852, less than half Of
what it is at present.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy of
this waste is that it is practically en-
tirely preventable. European coun-
tries have demonstrated this with
strict building codes, inspections and
laws holding the owner of property
which has sustained a preventable fire
guilty for any damage done to his
neighbours property, as well as his
own without allowing him insurance
indemnity.
1t may be questioned whether Eur
opean preventative methods would be
either practical or acceptable in this
country. This however, is a minor
issue. The point is that fire is pre-

Road Magnet Kept fOn
Jump In South Dakota

Having covered all but 80 miles OF
the $3.50 miles of completed graveled
highways of South Dakota, the cleo.
trio road magnet used by the state
highway department to clear the sur
faced routes of metal causing tire
punctures is working overtime to get
over as much of the trunk system
as possible the second time before
winter freezing.
Making three trips over each
stretch of road, the 1,600-pound mag
net, suspended beneath large truck
has covered more than 10000 driv-
ing miles this season, the second full
season of its operation, and has col
lected approximately $4,000 pounds of
nails and other metals from the high
ways, V. L. Stoner of Highmore,
driver, reported recently.
The magnet covers between Is and
80 driving miles a day, he said. On
the first trip over a stretch of road,
the pickup averages from 100 to 800
pounds of metal, including everything
from monograph needles to automo-
bile crank shafts, from bottle tops to
hair pins. The efficiency of the mag
net is borne out, Mr.. Stoner pointed
out, by the fact that when it is neces-
Sary to return over a piece of road
which has been covered the regular
three times, the pickup of metal
is negligible.
The claim of some critics that the
magnet has tendency to pull nails,
point up, in the road, making them
more dangerous to tires is unfounded,
he asserted, explaining that nails,
wire or other matter are either drawn
to the magnet or are not disturbed.
The driver said he carried a trailer
more than 1000 miles behind the
magnet without having a puncture
The pull of the 8-foot magnet, while
effective through as much as inches
of loose gravel, does not disturb met
al in the hard earth beneath, Mr..
Stoner said. Copper, lead and glass
do not respond to the magnet.
The magnet started out April II,
and will run as late this fall as the
weather will permit. Operated at
cost Of 20 cents per driving mile, or
60 cents per mile cleaned, the magnet
gathers at least 500 pounds of metal
a day the first time over the road,
Mr.. Stoner reported, and has picked
up more than 40 tons this season.

TAKE SLOT MACHINES

Two strangers parked their car in
front of a restaurant at Jordan, and
staged bold daylight robbery. While
the waitress was preparing their or
der of sanwiches in the kitchen, the,
men walked out of the place with
two slot machines, containing about
500 in cash. The girl discovered the
robbery, when she returned to the
restaurant, and notified police, who
communicated the robbery to officers
in surrounding communities.
