local newspaper correspondent
Some time ago Buracker became
aggrieved at a fancied slight by a
member of his family and left for
Hagerstown, Md.
Buracker's' thorough acquaintance
with Hagerstown has been gained
by the last six months stay In that
city. The same day he arrived in
Hagerstown, according to the noun
tain boys story. he was accosted in
the street by flashily dressed
young woman driving a Pierce-Ar-
row car who requested that he
direct her to Mill Street. In his
awkward way Buracker told her
the location of tie street, the woman
at the same time asking that he get
in the car and point out the way.
Begins Romance
On the way the young woman
who turned out to be Miss ANNA
Myars-vouchsafed the information
that she lived in New York. This
proved to be the entering wedge of
a romance. Buracker, who was

hunting work, asked the young
woman about labor conditions in the
metropolis.
She informed him that there was
work to burn there. Buracker,
who says the sight of the woman
at first 'mesmerized" him, told, her
that New York was the place for
him, but was frank enough to tell
her he did not have the means Of
getting there. She informed him
that this was no bar to q quick
solution Of his trouble, and that he
might accompany her the following
day to New York.
The next day the couple started
for New York. While passins
through Pennsylvania the Myars
car skidded on the road and turned
over. Buracker by his powerful
physique lifted the automobile from
Miss Myar's body. The woman
however, was little hurt.
Gets Work
Upon his arrival In New York
Buracker found employment. Dc
casionally he called on Miss Myars
informing her of the ''big money
-$3 per day-he was making.
Soon Buracker informed the
local newspaper man, ''we were
heads over heels In love-" Their
marriage followed. Two days age
Mr.. and Mrs. Buracker returned to
Hagerstown, the latter to look after
business interests, Buracker coming
to Page county to visit his parents
and inform them of his youthful
marriage. The bride is said to be
an heiress with q ''cool million IN
her own name and more to follow
upon the death of an uncle.

Walter Link, inventor of the
device, said an air terminal could
be erected over the railroad tracks
leading into Union Station that
could accommodate all of Wash.
ington's air traffic. The landing
platform, he asserted, would cost
less than $500,0O0.
Use Magnates 81
Electro-magnets imbedded in the
floor Of the platform would form
contact with a metal shoe on the
tail of the plane, Link explained.
Power, applied to the magnates in
a slowly increasing volume. would
bring the plane to a complete stop
in 100 feet with ease.
The platform could be placed on
the roofs of large buildings, Link
pointed out and afford a convenient
terminal in the heart OF the city
for airplanes bringing passengers
and mail here from other cities.
Track Space Ideal
Link declared that the vacant
space above the railroad tracks at
the Washington Terminal would be
an ideal place for an air terminal.
Mail could he unloaded from the
platform and sent in chutes into
the post office. Passengers would
be unloaded at the station within
easy reach of trains If their journey
was to continue beyond the air
lanes.
Link was told that the Park and
Planning Commission had no juris-
diction over the selection of air
ports and he was advised to confer
with the District Commissioners or
officials of the Post Office Depart
ment.

the present location in Slocum h. let.
 It is hoped, MT. Fla said, to have this route completely covered by the first of July. An alternative route across the mountains between Taku Inlet and Speel River will then be surveyed, data on cost of construc- ton, maintenance, etc., being as- sembled. Until these figures are available no final decision will be made as to the route over which the line will be built.
 The survey of the line between Juneau and Taku Inlet will not be made until after work closes down late this season. This section, MT Fla said, can be reached almost anytime and there is no necessity for haste there.
 The fine weather prevailing for the past week has greatly facili- tated the field work, putting it materially ahead of the program.

U. s. FORESTER PLANSALASkA
 TRIP SHORTLY
Mai. R. Y. Stuart, Chief Forester, Will Visit
 North This Summer

Maj. R. Y Stuart, Chief Forester, U. s. Forest Service, will spend sev- eral weeks in the Territory this summer, according to word receiv- ed by Charles H. Flory, Alaska Commissioner for the Department of Agriculture. No definite date has been fixed for his departure from Seattle.
 Maj. Stuart's itinerary, MT. Flory said, while not completely arranged, will include all of the National Forest districts and other parts of the Territory and probably will take him as far as Fairbanks. He will spend sometime at local head quarters of the Forest Service and is expected to make some trips in the field, observing local forest growths and conditions affecting the timber industry here.
 This will be Mai Stuart's first trip to the Territory. He has taken an active interest in the Forest Service policies affecting the re- sources administered by 1t locally and is making the trip mainly to get first hand information on these and kindred matters.

The Epworth League of the Methodist Church held a Sunrise Service and Fellowship breakfast Sunday morning. About dozen members assembled at 6 o'clock on the Government Dock, and with the inspiration of the white-capped mountains, blue water and glori- ous sunlight, amid such beautiful surroundings as can be found only on a May morning and only in Alaska, they held a service of prayer and song. After this they went to the church dining room where the breakfast was served. such an unusually enjoyable meet ing probably will be repeated on other mornings during the sum- mer.

STEWART SOON
 STARTS WORK
Predatory Animal Control Program Is Being
 Arranged

The seasons program for Preda- tory Animal Control will begin with a trip to the headwaters of the Panama drainage system, at the head of the Nabezna River, by R. K. Stewart, leader, and a few student hunters, who will be train ed there by him, MT. Stewart said today. They will leave for that district as soon as MT. Stewart has completed some work in the Haines and Petersburg vicinities.
 Many Coyotes
 The Nabezna section has more coyotes than moose areas and is an important big game section, where sheep, moose, woodland caribou and bear are found, MT. Stewart said. It is through this section that coyotes first entered Alaska in 1915 and where they appear to be breeding most rapidly and spreading to other parts of the Territory, he said.
 When the hunters are well train ed, they will, in turn, give instruc- tions in predatory animal trapping methods to private trappers with whom they come in contact. After a few months coaching of the stu dent hunters, MT. Stewart will spend as much time as possible, during the early fur trapping sea- son with private trappers in sec tions where the heaviest damage to game and fur-bearers occurs.
 Work in Reindeer Ranges
 It is possible that some work will be done in the reindeer ranges near Kokrines, on the Yukon, about 90 miles below the mouth of the Panama, where it is reported that coyotes have entered and are kill ing the reindeer, MT. Stewart said. AS soon as the operations in the Interior are established, more per manent work in the islands of Southeast Alaska will be organized, he said.
 Thirty thousand dollars was ap- propriated for this work by the last Territorial Legislature, which also authorized a program of pre- datory animal control work directed by the Governor, for the next two years. The sum the Legislature ap- propriated is augmented by $5000 from the Bureau of Biological Sur vey of the U. s. Department of Ag- riculture.

The Indians were travelling the trail that runs along the banks of the stream when they came to a place where there had been fresh slide of gravel. It was here than they found gold. Two ounces were taken to Telegraph Creek where about dozen Indians formed little stampede party and left for the scene of the slide for the purpose of stalking the ground in that vicinity.

SHOOT YESTERDAY DRAWS FEW; SKEET
 SHOOT NEXT WEEK

It takes fine weather to draw a crowd to the traps, but weather too fine also takes the crowd some times somewhere else. That ap- parently was the case yesterday. Few guns showed up for the Sun day shoot, but those who attended doubly enjoyed the sport.
 Morris was high gun with per- feet string of 25 broken clay tar gets. The other shooters came in with the following scores: Trues- dell P, McNaughton 22, Benjamin 21, Garter Is, Cam Is, Riggs 14, Wassun 13 and Barmus II.
 MT. Morris, Secretary of the Club, was unable to get the skeet gear ready for yesterdays shoot but promises the fans that all will be in readiness for next Sunday. The skeet traps will be installed on the point off Salmon Creek bar opposite the Morris ranch.
 The local shotgun artists are keenly looking forward to trying their aim at targets from the skeet gear. With only 45 perfects made in the country when shooting skeet style since the innovation of that method of trap shooting, local guns are preparing for some stiff work in an effort to hang up something in the way of score.
