BY Senator Irwin L. Lenroot OF Wis
cousin.
Lenroot's term ran out and he
wasn't reelected.
Next, in order of seniority, Senator
Laid became chairman
Then was when Macarthur got his
first real Iook-in. AS Ladd's secre-
tary. he automatically took over the
duties of clerk to the investigating
committee.
All this time Senator Thomas J.
Walsh, OF Montana, h1c been champ
ing 10 make il a hum-dinger Of an
inquiry, but Smoot and Lenroot
hadn't been enthusiastic. They'd
slapped the extinguisher on Walsh as
otter as he threatened to stir up
anything genuinely unpleasant.
Ladd let him have things all his
own way-even helped him.
Macarthur told the story the other
day of the fashion In which Will
Hays. President Harding's campaign
manager, tried to put the husher on
Laid, but Lsdd wouldn't stand for il.
However. Ladd finally died. and
Senator Robert N. Stanfield, Of Ore
gop. rose TO the committee chairman
ship.
That cost Macarthur his ringsids
seat for awhile, but presently Stan.
fields senatorial term expired, like
Lenroot's. and. again like Lenroct
he wasn't reelected, either.

tirement from his poat al the head

ALASKA NATIVE
 BANDIT REPORTED

There is a bandit native at large in the Kuskokwim dis trict, spreading terror among the natives of that little inhab- tined area of Alaska, far re- moved from the protection of the law. Reports of his depre- 'dations have reached settle ments along the lower Kusko- kwim river and efforts are be- ing made there to formulate some plan for the apphrehen- sion of the renegade, who is said to have killed a number of Indians in recent months since he started on the war path. His motive appears to be robbery. When in need of am- munition or food, his method is to go to the camp of an Indian or white man and to shoot the owner without ceremony, then take possession of whatever is desired. The murders have fill ed the Indians with great fear, according to stories reaching the Kuskokwim, and it is be- lieved there that the lives of numerous white men in isolat- ed sections, as we'll as natives are endangered.

LOCAL GUESSING SWEEPSTAKES IS
 PROPOSED

widespread local interest In
 annual Nenana and Dawson ice sweepstakes has stimulated development of a local guess ing contest of the same char acter, based on the time of the arrival of the first automobile
 from Hyder or Stewart at the
 Premier mine.
 It is pointed out by those in- terested in the movement that spring auto traffic in the up- per Salmon Valley is depend ent upon the amount of snow falling during the winter seas on and also upon the rapidity of melting. Whereas the an- nual movement of the ice at Nenana usually occurs very close to the same time each year, the time of the arrival of automobiles at Premier varies considerably. As result there is a wide field for speculation as to the exact time on which the event is likely to occur.
 Automobiles are said to have reached the mine as early as the first part of May, although the event usually occurs in June. In one instance machines failed to get through until the first week in July.
 Believing that such a contest will provide much local inter- est and also serve as something of an advertisement for the district, the proposers plan to make it an annual event if suf- ficient encouragement is offer ed.
 It is proposed to handle the contest along the same lines as the Nenana ice pool. Guess ing tickets will be issued at $1.0O each and all guesses must be submitted by noon May 1st. Funds derived from the contest will be placed in the Bank of Hyder as fast as received, to await disposition by a committee of prominent citizens, who will check over the guesses submitted and de- termine the winner. Save for small percentage for print ing and other minor expenses, the entire sum received will be awarded to the person guessing closest to the exact time the first automobile from Hyder reaches the mine.
 It is also proposed to safe- guard the contest against un- fair tactics by limiting the time for making the trip to A hours after leaving Hyder and machines will be required to go through solely by means of their own power and without outside assistance of any char acter. Drivers of cars contem- plating an effort to go through will also be requested to regis ter the time of their departure from Hyder at some convent ent place.
