FATAL FAVORITISM

McGuinness had been posted to

Whats the matter?" growled the

At that moment McGuinness recog-

"Oh, it's yourself, yer Honor" he
said genially.

The contrasting drama of from tier. life and of metropolises in the

 Reno stage trail.
 In the wilderness at Guth ri e where the day before antelope had Isported and the jack rabbit Tapped its ears to the sun," a city of 15,OO0 sprang up in an afternoon. [ As the trains pulled in, home Estcaders leaped from car windows, Eslipped from the roofs of coaches and poured out of the doors in the dash for coveted town lots. A hmuslin sign announced that the

LANDING FIELD
 AT SKACWAYT TO
 BE BUILT SOON
Cooperative Agreement Be- tween Territory and
 Town Approved
Associated Press Ihoto

Construction of an airplane larid- ing field will be started in the near future at Skagway, it was an nounced today by Highway Engi- neer P. J. Sonnners. The work will be financed by the Territory and the town of Skagway and performed by the Alaska Road Commission. The field will be for land planes cnly. It will probably not be com- pleted until early next season.
 The negotiations for constructing the field were completed early this week when Auditor Cash Cole, member of the Territorial Road Commission and Engineer Soullnef5 visited Skagway. They conferred with municipal authorities relative to a site and approved the one picked with certain additions of land to make it more suitable and safer for plane operat.9ns.
 The field will be 410 feet wide by 1860 feet long. The graded portion will be 300 feet wide its full length, and have one runway. It IS located a short distance from the White Pass & Yukon Rail- roads roundhcuse and parallels the Skagway River.
 The program does not call for the construction of hangars. If these are needed, they will have to be erected by interests operating planes and using the field.
 The construction of this field at Skagway, it has been pointed out. will put both Yukon Territory and northern and Interior Alaska in direct touch with the coast. Planes operating out of Nome and Fair banks, and out of Yukon Territory points, can land passengers with cut any difficulty at Skagway, as landing facilities are already TO- vided at strategic points on that route.

Lov2 for Alaska and a sincere and deep interest in it's prosper ity is' the motif that prompeted the visit of Mrs Alfred II. Brooks to the Territory. Not in so many words did she say this while she was the guest of Gov George A. Parks yesterday but in the quss- tions she propoundcd to him and to others who met and talked with her and her daughter, Miss Mary.
 For great many years Dr. AL fred H. Brooks, her late husband, was a member of the United States Geological Survey and it's Chicf Alaska Geologist. He lived worked and dreamed fer Alaska, and, died on the eve of the date set for the delivery of an address on the Ter ritory that he had worked on many night hours after his regular day in his Washington office. From him, Mrs. Brooks proudly acknowl edges she was innoculated with the virus from the Alaska bug
 Student of History
 From him, his investigations and his writings she learned great deal about Alaska, more in some phases than even many residents of the Territory know. But she wasn't entirely content with this secondhand information. She de- sired a personal touch, contact with the places and people she had met through Dr. Brooks and his books and the books in his library that others had written of the North.
 While her interest is broad and touches every phase of development in the various sections, it is es- pecially keen in regard to the wori, of the Geological Survey. She asked intelligent questions about the latest progress in the pulp and paper development of Southeastern Alaska, the mining industry gener ally, the exploitation of the low grade placer areas of the intcrio, and Seward Peninsula that was forecast by Dr. Brooks almost IS years ago.
 Follows Geological Program But always she came back to Ithe work being done by the bureau whose activities her husband had headed so long in the North Was i it covering it's field adequately? Did it's work have real, practical values Was it being operated on plane of purely scientific study, or did it take into account inc opportuni- ties for personal contacts and through them seek to bring the re suits of it's field investigations to the prospector and miner? These are a few of the queries she pro- pounded to the Governor and oth- CTS she met while here.
 Modestly Mrs. Brooks said she hoped that she would be able to do "her bit" for the Territory. The questions she asked were not from idle curiosity but from a sincere desire to be of assistance. She and her daughter arc travelling with the First Annual Government En- ployees' Alaska Tour, Washington to Fairbanks. They will return

PROHIBITION LAW UPSETS WISCONSIN
No One Knows Just Where Coy. ernor Kohler Stands in Question

Madison. Wis. May 25 R-In the hands of Gov. Walter J. kohler, an enigma so far as prohibition is con- cerned although a staunch supporter of President Hoover, rests the fate of prohibition enforcement in Wis consin.
 The wealthy industrialist. who was elected governor year after he for rook his business office for the stump, has before him the death warrant for state prohibition en- forcement in Wisconsin.
 By a sweep of the pen he may give his approval to the action of the legislature in complying with a man. date from the people and send Wis consin to join its sister states which have retired from the business of prohibition enforcement
 Such action thereby would place the burden of punishing violators of the Nolstead act upon the federal government. His refusal would pre- cipitate a renewal of the legislative conflict in an effort by vets to en- act the bill into law despite the gov- ernor.
 Vets, including Thomas M Dun-

can, state senator, Milwaukee social- ist and author of the repeal referen- dunn which was approved by 153,000 ajority. have predicted that Cover nor Kohler would sign the bill. But strangely enough there is no record of his attitude on prohibition that might be regarded as a barometer.
 Since entering politics fin the spring of 1928 to run as a delegate at large to the republican national convention, Mir. kohler has never given public expression to his pro- hibition views.
 He responded 10 the call of the so-called conservative" republicans to enter the gubernatorial fight, upon a platform which asked con- gross for a national referendum on prohibition, but he said nothing pub licly.
 His friends pictured him as 'lib- eral." The Anti-Saloon league tail- cd to indorse him when he did not answer its questionnaire. He gained support from both vets and drys
 Successful in the primary, Cover nor Kohler went into the general election campaign. and in every speech announced his support of the national republican ticket He won by more than 20O,00O and Hoover carried. Wisconsin by 90,000 odd.
 Governor kohler took no visible part in the legislative battle tha' finally placed the question, of repeal before the people in the spring elec- tion. and said nothing after 1t was carried in a vote that approximated one half of the strength shown in the presidential election.

EMIGRANTS G0 ID

Rio De Janeiro, May 25 R-The tide of emigration which for decades flowed westward across the Atlantic to New York and other American ports has definitely set in a south westerly direction.
 European steamship companies are operating larger and faster steamers to South America than were the pre-war emigrant carriers of the North Atlantic. with much better accommodations. Under these conditions Braxilians believe that their country Is on the verge of a treat increase in population with consequent agricultural develop ment.

 Although the public of New Brit ain knows little about the Hunter Road mission, there is religious organization growing and thriving in the northwest section of the city that already is making itself felt among the religious influences of New Britain.
 Organized in 1924 by Miss Caro- line k. Bartlett. former superintend- ent of the City Mission. the Hunter Road mission is a branch of the South Congregational church, which offers the opportunity of worship to Italian residents.
 The first movement toward this work was when a Sunday school was started June 15. 1924, in an Italian homo on Clinton street, with 2G children and 12 adults When this hefne wss no longer available, the Sunday school. with it's indispensa- bae assistant, the folding organ, rneseA into a small vacant store, tho use of which was proffered by tho owner.
