THE HOOPER GROUSE By G. J. Hildebrand

Iris a hoot, hoot here, and hoot,
 hoOt there, With a hoot, hoot over wonder; When the blue grouse starts his
 spring lore song, He sure does hoot like thunder; Sits up high, in. tall spruce
 tree,
 And blame me, pard, he's hard
 to see.
 He hoots and hoots with all his
 might;
 He don't come down for drink or or feed, But swallows spruce needles and gulps spruce seed. Now, if you happen to have a grouse appetite, And want to get one and do it right, I'll tell you secret, just whats the dope.
 You best go hunt him with a telescope
 And when you see one and your sure it's him.
 And not some moss or gnarled up limb,
 Just take your gun and aim durned fine,
 You may not hit him the very first time,
 He'll stay right there so just keep on shooting. For take it from me, he'll sure keep hooting.
 And when you finally hit him, And he comes down kerplunk, And you take him home anc l cook him,
 You'll find that he's the bunk. Put him on and fry him or cook him fricassee,
 He'll still taste when you eat
 him like an old spruce tree.
 Editors Note:-To mitigate the above squak, young half lgrown grouse is one of the great est known delicacies, even il Alaska, the land of plenty. Fol now, under the Migratory Biro Treaty, it is unlawful to kill thar bird during the hooting season land thereafter until the winter months.

Even Supreme Court judges make mistakes is evidenced in a mild controversy between lit tie girl and Judge Taft. Judge Taft in swearing in President Hoover used the words Preserve maintain and defend," while the Constitution provides that the oath shall be preserve, protect, and defend" A girl in New York called Judge Taft's attention to his error and he replied and in sisted that he was not incorrect. The sound reels from the mike" proved him in error.

REGULATIONS AFFECTING Salmon Trolling in Southeast ern Alaska

sire to assist you in conserving the king salmon, but we insist that the means adopted should not hurt us if that is possible to avoid, and we wish to say here, that if no other way remains we will submit willing to be hurt.
 But why is the first conserva- tion measure one that contem- plates "curtailing" our opera tions " Suppose you could ac- complish the same result by pro tecting the king salmon from it's predatory enemies? We call at tention to the protected sea lion which not only exceed in number the entire trolling fleet but also destroy more king sal mon. One of our committee has had as many as nine king sal mon eaten off his hooks during one day. Others of us have been surrounded by six and seven sea lions at one time. These anim- als during the king salmon sea- son, live almost exclusively on king salmon, passing up echoes and other kinds of salmon.
 Our already large herds of sea- lions are increasing due to the fact that the British Columbia Government is warning on these animals, equipping patrol boats with machine guns and battling the animals at their very rock

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

The new council takes office in a short while. Every member fully understands the problems which must be met, faced fairly and squarely with positive as surance that the solution pre- sented is for the best of the com munity.
 No one clique, clan or faction can afford to hope for personal gain at the expense of the com munity. No single faction can hope to derive any special bene- fit without the la wof recom- penSe to face at some time or other.
 There is always an accounting, be 1t in harbored grudge or in social or business life. And in the paying the scales are usually we'll balanced. So in the affairs of the town, the problems which are so we'll known obviating the necessity of repitition, the in coming council will have to use its ingenuity to put the affairs of the town on stable basis to the benefit of the whole town.

cries, killing many and driving others to our waters where the United States government pro- tects them. It seems to us re- prchensible that this condition could exist, destroying as it does hundreds of thousands of pounds of king salmon without getting even a protest from the Bureau of Fisheries. There is no closed fishing season for these thou sands of animals during Janu- ary, February and March. And yet, consider how many salmon these seals must have each day to maintain their tonnage. We could go on.
 We are appealing to you for fair play because you are cur government. Our government has no right to hurt us needless ' ly. Tn good faith, we have cri- ticised your closing order call ing your attention to the fact a trolling year even now consists of only 167 eight hour days, and to the further fact that the fish ing in April would wipe out whatever advantage you might gain the first three months; we have proposed a substitute, and now advise you of the menace o1 the sea-lionS which destroy more salmon than are caught by oul { entire fleet

MAN, MOUSE OR LOUISE?

Take an inventory of yourself and your neighbor. Are you a man or a mouse? Have you the courage of your convictions? Are you afraid that public ex- pression of a stand against Blu reaus in favor of the best inter ests in Alaska will put you in bad with the powers that be? Are you doing your duty as an American citizen when you al- low present conditions to con- tinue without public protest?

Frazer was well known and well
liked here and was socially prom
inent during his connection with
the Gateway bridge. He recently
moved to New York. Frazer was
in Brownsville Saturday renewing
old acquaintance and his death
was the general subject of CONVEX
sation today.
Mexico City dispatches say he
had been visiting his fiancee, Miss
Grace Parkinson of Houston. Miss
Parkington was at an afternoon tea
with other members of the Ameri-
can colony and was discussing
with them her approaching we'd
ding in June when word was
brought her Of her fiance's death.
She collapsed. Friends say Frazer
had given her an engagement ring
just before he left. They met
while he was engaged in the work
on the Gateway bridge here. Their
wedding was to have taken place
at Houston.
Mrs. D. W. Taylor, wife Of the
dead pilot, is at the FL Jardin
hotel. Her husband had been in
the employ Of the Mexican Avia-
ton company only about a week,
coming here from Detroit where
he was connected with the Ford
plant. He had been flying for
about five years.
He is survived by his wife and
his father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Taylor or Wisconsin

that she expected to have her hus-
band buried in Detroit. The de-
cedent was % years Of age.
Robinson was the only passenger
not killed outright. He died later
at a hospital. The local taxi cab
service owner had been here about
a year. He is survived ny his wife
and two small sons, who reside at
the Fitch apartments, and a daugh-
ter attending school in Colorado.
Robinson had gone to Tampico
Tuesday on a pleasure flight and

prices showed rallies Of a few points
from the lowest at the end Of the
first half hour.
Trading was qu;eter late in the
