YOUNG FAMILY WILL MAKE ALASKA THEIR
 FUTURE HOMELAND

After hearing Alaska knocked right and left for years, eSpec- cially during the last few months, c. L. Plumb, Mrs. Plumb and children, arrived in Seward Fri day and are now looking for a place to settle down and become real Alaskans.
 The decision to come North came after many conversations with Hal Selby, former publisher of the Gateway, whom Mr. Plumb had the good fortune to meet in Bellingham The veteran MT. Sell by talked nothing but Alaska every day and said if his health permitted he would be back here now In addition MT. Selby gave him copies of the Gateway which he read avividly. But to MT. Sel- by goes all credit for his per- sonal interest in Alaska and the knowledge that Alaska needs young new blood especially fam lilies to complete the work car ried on for years by the pioneers.
 The Plumb family rather favor trapping this winter and to that end are making a survey of the l0any fur bearing districts. Until they decide where they will locate they are making the Overland hotel their home
 At least two tons of household affects were brought along
 MT. Plumb brought with him the best regards and wishes of MT. and Mrs. Selby to their num- erouS friends here.

In partnership with John DAILY

trained in the Gideon stable. won
the derby in England. The trophy
was sent by the Tammany leader to

 Before making an offer Of con- vertible bonds or preferred stocks to the public, it has been found that an attractive effect can be at tained by throwing out a few pieces of common stock in order to arouse interest.
 Public demand for ordinary bonds and preferred stocks has declined steadily and resisted every effort by bond selling houses to re- vive it. The only way a company can be sure these days of selling it's prior lien securities is to dress them up in fancy stock purchase warrants or conversion privileges.

ARCTIC SHIP IS

MacMillan' s Schooner Bow. doin Has Narrow Es- :,
 cape in Ice Pack

SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Sept. 16. The escape of the schooner Bow doin from icebergs bearing down on her on August IS was described today by Donald MacMillan, as the closest shave he ever has had in his 21 years of Arctic explora- tionS.
 The ship left for Maine and was hailing off Frobisher Bay when caught in a heavy ice pack near Liksland Point.
 For 12 days the Bowdoin was held in the ice pack, although there was clear water less than 100 yards away
 On the twelfth day the ice pack began to break and the schooner soon worked free.
 "It was a fearsome sight; great bergs, some 300 feet high, grinding toward us," said MacMillan.
 When MacMillan attempted to move the ship, it was suddenly lifted and bodily canted over on beam ends by a large floe. Slowly pressure .slackened and the ship slid into open water.
 After sliding by towering moun- tains of ice, with only a few in- ches to spare, the Bowdoin finally swung in behind large berg and rode to security down the coast in open water.

SUICIDE OF EX-SERCEANT CAUSES
 NO MOURNING IN FOREIGN LEGION
By T. T. TOPPING

Associated Press Staff Writcr)
 SIDI- Algeria, Sept 16.-No tears were shed by the hard boiled corporals and buck privates of the French Foreign Legion when they heard that Peter Klems, a former legionnaire ser geant and one of the most auda- cious adventurers ever to set foot in North Africa had committed suicide in a Berlin police station
 Klems had escaped from French firing squal after being sentenced to death by court martial for de- sertion and enlisting with Abd-el- Krim, to whom he became chief o1 staff. When informed that he hao taken up burglary upon his return to Germany, his former comrades expressed no surprise.
 "He was a natural born burglar, J they agreed.
 Six years ago Klems, fleeing be- fore the German police, reached Marseilles and enlisted in the Foreign Legion. He took part in several combats against Abd-el- Krim and behaved so well that he was promoted to sergeant.
 Klems' adventurous soul felt however, that there was more op- portunity for advancement with the rebel forces and he deserted to the Riffians Abd-el- ap- preciated the skill of Klems as a soldier and made him his chief adviser
 Klems taught the Riffians many modern war methods especially with artillery. One morning in May 1926 the second French divi- sion under General Marty operat- ing along the Moulaya River reached the foothills of the Riff range.
 Targuist, Abd-el-Krim's military capital, lay twenty miles to the north and General Marty in his hurry to capture the rebel chief or dered the line of hills two miles away to be stormed. Four com- panies were instructed to reach the top of the hills and dig themselves in.
 Just as the black domes of the Senegalese appeared over the top of the range, TT millimeter guns raked the ground with appallingly Continued on Page Three)

JERUSALEM, Sept. 16.-News of a new outbreak near the Sea oi Galilee in which raiding Bedouln tribesmen lost 16 dead and many wounded before being dispersed by British military patrols, disturbed the peace of Palestine today. The country had been quiet for the past 10 days.
 There is tendency to regard the affair as purely local and nc fears are entertained that the af- fray in any way will effect the promised visit of 200 prominent Egyptians and Arabs to Palestine for the purpose of bringing about reconciliation of the two peoples.
