NOW ON LAST
LAP IN SENATE
Final Vote Is Expecte d
Soon-House Is Fac
ing Only Routine

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-This
promised to be the last Monday
the Senate will be concerned with
the cruiser bill. limitation of de-
bate going into effect today with
4 vote expected soon.
The House faced routine, dis
posing of the consent calendar
bills. There was no measure on
it's horizon that seemed likely to
cause any violent controversy
provided the s24,O00,O00 for Pro-
hibition Enforcement in the first
deficiency bill does not come be-
fore it for direct vote during
the week.
The outlook in the Senate is
not so placid even if most of the
controversy on the cruiser bill
seems over
The Senate expects, before the
week is over, to hear a request
by Senator Walsh for judgment
to be passed on his report con-
demning the Interior and Justice
Departments for their handling
of the Sinclair contract for Salt
Creek royalty oil.

The In terror Department will

orders, it was announced today by
Gov. George A Parks Funds to
defray expenses connected with
this work have been approved by
the Bureau of Budget and are in.
Guided in the second deficiency ap-
preparation bill which is now be
fore Congress.
This action is the result of con
ferences between Secretary West
of the Interior Department, Repre-
sentative Champion, of House Com
m ittee on Appropriations, Gov
Parks and representative of the
Public Health Service. The Gov
ernor placed the whole subject OF
care of the Alaska insane before
these officials, including the mat
ter of breaking up the present sys

at privately owned establishments
The Governors representations
had two concrete results. The
first was the decision of the Fed.
eral authorities to put an alienist
al Morningside Sanitarium which
has another year to run on its ex-
listing contract. The second was
authority for a survey of local con-
dltions and locations with the view
of eventually constructing an in
stitution in some suitable place in
Alaska in which to house and
care for insane patients. Included
IN .his is a promise of funds with
which to make the survey an6 pre-
pare all necessary plans for the
buildings needed.
The Governor paid surprise
visit to the Portland institution
when he was enroute to Washing
ton last December. He revealed
to no one his intention of making
the stop-over and walked into the
office unannounced. He found
the place clean and wholesome and
apparently in the best of shape,
AS it was his first visit there, he
was not recognized by the physi-
clan in charge who showed him
every courtesy while he made his
inspection.
The presen contract expires
January, 1880. Tenders for new
contracts were received from Morn
ingside and a Tacoma institution
last month. Both were rejected
because of certain defects and new
bids were called for.
There is no possibility that an
institution can be established in
Alaska in time to be put into
operation by next year. But the
Governor is hopeful that it will
be accomplished before the end
of the next five-year period.

Bfice Howard, resident agent OF
the Pacific Steamship Company
MIS-. Howard and their two chill
dren, Brice, jr., and Betty Jane,
returned on tie steamer Queen
this morning after over two
months vacation in the South.
Several days were spent with
relatives and friends in Seattle by
the family; then a car was obtain
ed and the party drove to Califor-
MIA. Mr.. Howard recounted a
narrow escape from an accident
that occurred at night when driv-
ing through the Siskiyou mountains
in Northern California. The wealth
er was freezing cold and the con
crete pavement was covered with
an ice glaze that made any but
the most careful driving treacher-
Gus. The car skidded at turn
and plunged into the bank, turn
ing over and throwing the occu-
pants clear with but scratches and
bruises. The automobile was not
greatly damaged and was driven
into the next town where repairs
were made.
San Diego, California, was the
mecca of the Howard family and
several weeks were spent in play
at the numerous beaches and re-
sorts. While there Brice jr., was
taken on his first airplane ride.
Mr.. Howard and the lad went on
a two-hour air tour of the orange
covered valleys and mountains of
the southern part of the State,
then over the United States-Mexi-

view given by him to Seattle
newspaper in which he was credi,
ed largely with many OF the expert

said. "Of course, DR.. c. c, Geor

DR.. Georgeson rightfully belongs
the credit for whatever success
has been attained in these expert

Mr. Eggersgluess is well known
here for his interest in Alaskan

the greatest sport ever.

SOUCEK MAY SEEK
NEW MARK MONDAY
.SeapIane Altitude Record
Held by Lieut.. Champion
Is Aim of Flyer.

An attempt to break the seaplane
altitude record will be made probably
Monday or Tuesday by Lieut.. Apollo
Soucek, holder of the worlds altitude
record, in the same plane, the Apache,
in which he scared 10 record heights
q few days ago.
The mark Lieut.. Soucek will have to
beat is 1895 feet, established by Lieut..
c. G. Champion on July 4, 1927.
Lieut. Soucek will have to better
Lieut.. Champions mark by 100 meters,
a little more than 800 feet, for the rec
ord to be recognized as official. The
holder of the world altitude record to-
day declared that Lieut.. Champions
record is one that will be very difficult
to better.
Mark Gust About" the Ceiling.
81 believe that Lieut.. Champions
mark Is just about the ceiling for sea-
planes, as we know them now, but I
believe, naturally, that I can get the
Apache above that mark again." Soucek
said.
The Apache is being fitted with a
pontoon at the AnacoStia Naval Air
Station for the next record attempt.
The tips of the Apache'S propeller
necessitated by the fitting of the sea-
plane landing gear and several other
minor adjustments will have to be made
before Lieut.. Soucek will go up for the
seaplane altitude record.
The only major change in the Apache,
however, will be the placing of pom
toon where the landing gear was when
Lieut.. Soucek established his record Of
10000 feet few days ago, exceeding a
mark held also by Lieut. Champion.
Ceveral flights will have to be made,
Lieut.. Soucek said, to determine just
what the Apache's behavior will be
under the new conditions. He sug-
gested that there may be needed some
changes in the propeller after its
shortening and that other. deviations
from the ships original design might
further increase its efficiency.

COLUM BUS
TERRY Tribune)

One shining example of a man
who accomplished much through
perseverance has a birthday this
month. That man was Columbus.
If ever a man was beset by hard
luck he certainly was. On every
hand he met rebuffs and scoffing.
Yet he persevered. He simply
would not become discouraged
not to the point of quitting. When
he was turned down in one place
he bobbed right up in another.
This community can use men
like Columbus. Not that we have
any new worlds to discover, but
we have many, many things which
perseverance equal to that of Col
umbus can overcome, and over
coming can promote the growth
and prosperity of the community
to a point most satisfying to ev-
cry member of the community. Let
US make perseverance our by
word and our slogan.

The Court said further that
there are other provisions of our
law, in addition to the foregoing,
which clothe the officers with

that he had been informed that

that their sale business was to
place these devices in cigar stores,

ever they could. The Court said,

WILL THE WARNING BE
Needed?
(Havre Daily News)

The survey of liquor sold ir
Great Falls and northern Mon
tana, which is being made by the
Tribune by securing a chemical
analysis of moonshine whiskey
available in various places, should
prove a contribution of consider
able value to those who simply
must have" their liquor, and
even more SO to many fathers
and mothers of boys and girls who
are confronted with temptations
almost daily to "join with the
bunch" and be a real fellow"
Much of the whiskey now
available" says the Tribune, sis
deadly in its effect and poisonous
in its content on the basis Of the
analysis made by DR.. T. F. Walk
er, local chemist and pathologist,
and comparison of the results of
the recent tests with those pre-
viously made of like intoxicants
clearly indicates that the whiskev
now being sold is being marketed
without consideration OF its quail
ity."
This information, no matter how
widely it may be broadcasted,
will NEAR little to the man or
woman who is so determined to
drink that they will make any sac
rifice to satisfy their craving ap-
petite. But the expression, dead
ly" and poisonous" should sound
a warning which ought to be
heard by those who still believe
that a sound mind and body is
worth more than a thirst satisfied
by rotten moonshine, or that the
building of character is more de-
serving of attention than the 'pop-
ular accord" Of their crowd" It
may take a lot of courage to say
mo" sometimes, but he, who in
ordtr to reach his goal, must al
ways have the plaudits of his as
sociates and travel in their foot
steps-even though he knows
them to be headed in the wrong
direction-will find some day
that he is lacking something
which is essential to ucces
