FISH SURVEY FOR BERINe SEA

Whereas: it is well known that there are numerous and valuable halibut banks in Boring Sea but that at the present time the loca- tion of these banks are not defin

That the halibut banks of the other Alaska waters are becoming depleted of their former supply of halibut which is one of the most valuable food pro- ducts of these Northern waters; That other valuable food fishes exist in Boring Sea waters. That al the present time the location of the halibut banks in these waters are not definitely known and for

 to a large extent. Freighters could then meet the scows and assist in
 moving freight.
 Completion of the repair of the 1 present Candle Road is necessary. A bridge across the mouth of Pat terson Creek is vital to operations
 above that point. The road should also be extended from it's present
 starting point back to the 'Keewa- lik River and tie on with the pro- ! posed road to Keewalik.
 The construction of bridges across
 Bonanza and Eldorado Creek will l enable teams to go out to Quartz
 Creek where promising develop

 is on the regular mail trail and wilk be of considerable aid to tra-
 vel in general along this route 1 The completion of the above pro ! gram of road work would cut our cost of transportation to reason ! able figure: increasing thereby the activities of this section and en-

This recommendation to apply to other permanently staked trails wherever possible.
 That a trail be staked. with per manent stakes the same as above. running from the Powder Maga- zines on Dry Creek. directly north to the five mile post or your bridge on the Bessie Dexter Trail.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5, R)-A rigorous cross-examination failed to shake materially, the testa- mony of Eunice Pringle. who was in the witness chair for the en- tire day in the trial of Pantag- es. She reiterated in detail the accusation against the theatre man and returned emphatic re-buffs to the defense attorney who tried to incessant flow of questions.

 When the girl broke into un- restrained sobbing during the per sistant grilling, she was refused a recess and recovered her com posture, the trial then went on.
 Pantages reddened under the deliberate accusation of the girl and he watched closely when dam  aging admissions were made by the girl, scrutinizing the effect up- on the jury. #
 As to the cross-examination. she denied the statement by the defense that Pantages refused to book her dance, saying "He certainly would book her act", in '' A little stairway and cubby- a,ole''. She said When he tried to hold my hand, I told him that had noting to do with business, and when he embraced me I pleaded with him to be a gentlemen and let me go. My attempts to scream were stilled by his< hand and I endeavored to kick him and strug- sled continuously until I tainted. All of my future visits to see Pantages about the act, were all ways in the main office and the secretary was usually around"

 The mother testified that Fun ice was born March 5. 1912, sub stantiating the states conten- tion that Pantages' accuser was a minor. Mrs. Pringle then des- cribed the bruises and marks she found on her daughter the night c. August 9th, few hours after u. alleged attack.
 Five minutes before court ad- journed until tomorrow, the pro- srcntor called for Miss Pringle to take the stand, but the court sug- gn:.ed that her appearance be postponed until the morning.

EDITORIAL
ALASkANS REJOICE OVER RE-APPOINTMENT OF
 GOVERNOR PARKS

Twenty-Five years or more ago, the former editor and publisher of The Nome Nugget, J. F. A. Strong, who recently died at Seat tie, originated the slogan Alas kans for Alaska. whenever pol itical officer were to be filled. This slogan was carried at the masthead of the editorial column for many years, and while the Nugget has changed hands severel times. the policy of the paper in that respect has never chang ed. and the present publisher hop es it never will.
 The brief telegram from Wash ington publihed last Saturday stating tbat President Hoover had nominated Geo. A. Parks as Gov ernor of Alaska, and another pub lished Wednesday of his confirma- tion by the Senate. was joyful news and every true Alaskan has reason to rejoice that an "Al askan for Alaska has been re- appointed governor of this great and wonderful territory.
 We are sincere when We say that never before has Alaska had such a wonderful governor, a man who is so thoroughly familiar with all parts and divisions of the territory. It is safe to say that he has walked over and flew ov- CT more of Alaska's enormous ar ca than all her other governors dent Hoover, he is an engineer by profession, and his vast exper- fence of observation enables him to place before the people of the Nation the tremendous possibil ities and potential wealth of the territory which is awaiting oppor- tunities for capital to become in terested and unlock the treasur- es, many of which are still lying dormant.
 It is true that some opposi- tion was carried on against the re-appointment of Governor Parks but it came principally from sell fish politicians who wished to get control of the territorial plums, and the fight was made on him by men who have tried for years to dictate to Alaska governors but who have failed generally.
 No specific charge of consequent ce. either as to his personal char acter or official conduct could be brought up. The only thing that can be said against him is that he has not permitted others to dominate him. This. in itself, probably was one of the best re- concentrations that could have been presented to President Hoov- CT.
 The Second Division of Alaska, several years ago was the stamp ing ground of Governor Parks, he knows our needs and we can re- ly on him to advance the best 1R tho country

END COMES TO PRISON RIOT AS CONNECTS
 MARCH TO CELLS
Guards Who Taken Along With Rebels, Murdered in Cold Blood; Weapons
 Fail.

MAN oA>, SulOlduO, OCl. ,, tHD A definite end to the prolonged chaotic rioting going on in the Colorado State Penitentiary. came as dawn broke over the mutiny racked institution and the beseig- dred and fifty of their number walked from the cell house in orderly fashion in a hand over head exodus. The surrender fol lowed the receipt of the news that the ring leaders of the rebellion, who had taken the lives of thir- teen men and seriously wounded five others. had shot themselves during the early morning. Out side the guards swarmed all over the enclosure which surrounded the convicts.
 One guard who was held pris- oner along with two others. es- capped with his life Danny Dan iels, Major Davis. and Red Riley, who committed suicide were known to be the instigator of the plot. The end came after a day and a night of furious fighting, during which time the guards were held as hostages to the prisoners. They were murdered when the demands of the rebels for safe conduct to Warden Crawford were refused.
 During the riot dynamite bar rages, machine guns, rifles. bull lets and even tear gas failed to vanquish the entrenched prison CTS. A guard entering the pris- on found the bodies of several guards riddled with bullets and apparently dead and about two hours later noted the riot was calming down. Nearby lay Dan iels the known executioner of the three defenseless guards.
 Rioting broke out at the noon hour apparently by a pre-arrang- ed signal, when James Perdue struck guard on the head with a chair. Nine hundred of the prisoners then broke loose and seized tho arsenal, kidnapping the guard, Fire then swept the chap el, the mess hall and two cell houses. Abe Wiggins. guard was murdered in cold blood when Daniels said "Wiggins. have you said your prayers" Wiggins re- piled "Yes. where do you want me to stand" Right where you are'. answered the executioner, he then shot Wiggins in the head. Turning to John O'Shea, Daniels said "O'Shea, you been a pretty good sport take Wiggins outside" :" O'Shea, as he left with the body, heard Daniels order Marvin Dun can to say his prayers
