Dillon follows Peebles and IS waiting outside the room. Throwing Furie off guard by ruse, Peebles lands knockout blow on Furie's chin.

Item six-some of my conclus- ions are written here When Mac Nair and I were in my den Satur- day night, I put the notebook down on my desk and left the room for minute or two. When l re- turned I found the book had been disturbed-as I expected. l wanted MacNair to know I believed him guilty.
 Item seven Sunday morning MacNair stopped his car at my house and told me he was going to Los Angeles. I purposely glanc- cd at his spedometer. It register ed 6.825 miles Last night, after the car was supposed to have cov- cred a distance of 250 miles, it registered 7010 miles-an increase tof only 1855 miles. MacNair went to Torridity to plant Jerrys flannels.
 Items eight and nine-last night telephoned an old colleague of mine in Los Angeles and asked him to get information I wanted. He called me back this morning. He told me, first:
 That MacNair was involved in the Phalean oil swindle and that he had to return $100,000 before the end ol this week or face crim- inal court action. He demanded | $10O.000 of Andrew
 Second: That MacNair was dis charged by the Flinkerton Detec- tive Agency 30 years ago for ac- cepting a bribe of s10,OO0." 1 Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co)

door: he overheard Andrew telling Jerry the story of his Torridity days, without, however, disclosing to him Dillon's present identity. MacNair realized if he would pre- serve his own life and liberty he must make away with Andrew as soon as Jerry had gone. There was no moon and he easily stood on the little railed-in balcony without be- ing seen.
 My evidence of this is flimsy. MacNair was having stucco sun room built on his bungalow. l found traces of plasterers cement on his shoes and deposit of 1t on the balcony.
 Item three-my den was enter ed before dawn the next morning. I am not sure why MacNair wanted the pistol I had bought from Hyde and which he had overheard Jerry and Andrew talking about. Perhaps the idea of a message suggested itself. AS it happened, went in and caught MacNair. We strug- gled. Lucy and Mrs. Moffit came as I was about done for. MacNair took himself off, pretending to col lide with some one outside, fired a couple of shots through his hat and returned. And then MacNail

cause the instrument was extremely delicate and could not be jared.
 The first thrill that I got from the radio was when I was aboard the cruiser Minneapolis. The Navy had installed crystal receiving set and the first night there was con- siderable excitement when word spread that we were to receive news dispatches from shore. Every night while at sea men would con- gregate in the radio room to get these reports first hand. The news received would spread quickly throughout the ship.
 Introduction of this novelty cre- ated considerable excitement. Ere quently messages written on radio gram sheets would be found lying in different parts of the ship. These messages would sometimes say that we were to head for a different port or that we would turn about and start at once for home instead of following the original itenerary.
 These reports, of course, were CT roneous and were dropped on the decks with the idea of creating a sensation. It was no eng be- fore the hoax was discovered The captain of the vessel then issued an order saying that anyone writ ing false reportssor spreading ru- more purporting to come from the radio room would be severely pun ished. Personal messages were ac- cepted for transmission in the early days about 1905 but there was never any guarantee of delivery Ere quently it was necessary to hold these messages until the vessel reached port ands they could be sent by telegram or cable

 Bounty System CoStIy

Duuiltg oyStCAu OOotiJ
 The Territory's bounty system be- gins to become expensive. For the next two years it is estimated that the hunters of eagles and hair seals and the trappers of wolves will draw in tho form of bounties out of the Territorial Treasury the sum of SIT, 500, and there is a defi- cit of S10,000 facing the Legislature in the wolf bounty appropriation for the past b-ennium. And to this cost can be added S15,000 which it is estimated will be required to carry on predatory animal control work.
 There are two items in the bud- get-the inspection of livestock and employment of vetinarian-aggre- gating $25,000 which Governor Parks recommended to the Legis- lature to be handled somewhat dif- ferently than in the past, but there would be no difference in the cost. He would create bureau of animal husbandry at the Alaska College to handle both of these activities instead of employing three men as has been done heretofore.
 Continued aid for industrial fairs during the next two years, it is es- timated, will cost the Territory $12,000. To carry on its program of stocking public lands with game and fur bearing animals, initiated in 1925, will cost $10,O00.
 For administrative expenses the following estimates are set up: For the office of Governor, $11 ,24O; for the office of Secretary, $1770o; for the office of Treasurer, 44450; for the Territorial Banking Board, S1 1,500; for the Attorney General, $21 ,000; for Vital Statistics, $6,60o; for the Alaska Museum, $9500: for the Territorial Building, $10,000; for Health and Sanitation, $18,100; for the Boards of Medical Examiners, Dental Examiners, Pharmacy and Accountancy, $3,3OO; for Primary Elections, $11 ,O00, and a few minor items which total about $5,000.
