The fox catch out Westward is poor this year, states Rudolph Hec- tor,young business of Unalaska who arrived in Seward last week with Mrs. Hector, enroute to the States with San Francisco as their destination. MT. Hector has pur- chased all of O. K.

 MT. Hector has been appointed Alaska representative of the Amer 5can Salmon Company, Of which c. Hale is the head, and which concern has large cannery interests in Westward areas. The present trip to San Francisco is in connec- tion with the company which maintains it's headquarters in the Golden Gate city.
 PRAISE THE ATTU
 A very interesting batch of news was related by MT. and Mrs. Hec- tor who both were loud in voicing their approval of Capt. Peter Wold and his wonderful crew. Captain Wold, Hector said, evidently smells the land as he blows along for not once did he see the Captain refer to chart yet he, and the crew, appeared t0 be nerIectly at Ii sle in those Westward waters which they apparently must know like a book. The arrival of night meant nothing to the schooner Attu which steadily purred along in perfect precision at all times. The crew keep every piece of gear in perfect shape and the engine is kept glis- tenlng by continuous polishing ana care. MT. Hector said that never during his 12 years of experience i'll travelling to and from the Vest ward, had seen such attention paid to a vessel. So it was with utter confidence the Electors slept at night regardless of the feat friencs advised them to wait and take passage on larger boat.
 Mrs. HectoJ' said she never had a more wonderful voyage than this one and appreciated the un- failing courtesy of the members of the crew and the skipper to both her and MT. Hector.

almost under the impression that his

"No-but have you? You look played

~ SS$'SS:J'SS
Colgate's Ribbon Dental Cream is the
worlds largest-selling tooth paste. More
people use it :. and more dentists recon-
mend it :. than any other dentifrice.
The reason for this is simply that Col
gates cleans teeth better. Colgate's contains
the worlds best cleansing agent "a pene-
trating foam that cleanses where the tooth
brush cannot reach.
Your dentist will tell you that decay
doesn't start on the smooth outer surfaces of
the teeth -. but in the tiny crevices where
food particles and mucin collect.
No tooth brush can reach these hard-to-
clean places. They must be cleansed by the
dentifrice. Hence the real test of tooth paste
is its ability to get down into these crevices
and cleanse them thoroughly. "A scientific test
