erything possible TO further shorten

m, to meet the needs Of the
Mexican Aviation company's south
bound plane. now leaving here at
$50 a. m, Mayor a. B. Cole told
the city commission Friday morn
ing.
The matter came up in connec-
ton with a proposed new offer by
the city To the Pan-American air
lines. Mr.. Cole said that Mr.. Choate
will be in Brownsville Saturday to
discuss the matter. After certain
arrangements have been made. the
mayor said. he viii confer with

tion. on the Southmost road. ad-

eight blocks in order that the addi-
ton might connect at the city

Mob Lwches Florida Man
Explains
His Position on
Deal on Airport

The city commission in its nego-
tiations with the Pan-American
Airways. Inc. for a contract under
which that company will use the
municipal airport as a terminal for
its air mail and passenger line be-
tween Brownsville and Mexico City,
is seeking TO arrive at an agree
ment which will be fair to all air
lines now using the field and to
all air lines and individuals who
might desire to use 1t in the future.
This is the explanation Of Mayor
A. B. Cole of the reason a contract
has not yet been signed. The COM
pany has a one year lease on the
new hangar and in the meantime a
satisfactory agreement will be
reached, in the opinion OF Mayor
Cole.
This interview with Mayor Cole
was obtained by The Herald in or
der that the position Of those who
have opposed signing OF the con-
tract might be made clear tc the
citizens.
Public Utility
II view the airport as a public
utility, just as much SO as light.
water and sewer systems OF the
city. There must be no deals made
which will favor one. user or the
airport over the other. We must
treat all alike. whether a large or
small concern.
"Of course. special price can
be made on gasoline to the big
users. just as special rates are
allowed to large consumers of cleo
trical snergy. But everyone must
have equal access to the field.
The principal stumbling block
has been the demand OF the Pan
American Airways for a preferen-
tial option to buy or lease the air
port.
1t Is impossible for the city to
grant this request unless the PAN
American Is willing in turn to agree
70 take the field off the hands OF
the city at any time on a basis fair
to both parties.
Opposes Option
IF the preferential option Is
granted to the Pan-American il
means that the city would not re-
ceive any offers for fue airport, in
case it became neceA>ry to lease
lt. for any concern which might
otherwise like to contract for its
lease or purchase would realize
they only could get it after the
holders OF the prior option mad

OUT
 FOR OFFICE OF
 ALASKA DELEGATE

Following the announcement last week that Alaska delegate to Congress Dan. A. Suther- land would not be candidate to succeed himself at the next territorial election, word came from Juneau that John Rust gard, attorney-general of Alas ka, has entered the lists and will be candidate for the of- flee.
 The announcement was con- tained in an Associated Press news dispatch, as was also the announcement from Washing ton, D. c. last Wednesday that delegate Sutherland would re- tire at the expiration of his present term, MT. Sutherland is now serving his fifth term as Alaska delegate, having occu- pied the office since 1921.
 Attorney-general Rustgard has held his present position for an even longer period, hav- ing been elected for his first
  term in 1920. His popularity throughout the Territory is probably greater than that of any other individual, with the possible exception of MT. Suth- erland, judging by the fact that his vote in the biennial elect ions has been almost equal to that of the delegate on every occasion.
 As announced last week, Hon. James Wickersham, former delegate to Congress and form- CT federal judge, will also be a candidate for the office.

WORK SUSPENDED ON TEXAS CR. HIGHWAY
 FOR SEASON

Seims and Carlson, concluded their seasons work on the last section of the new Texas Creek highway this week, after trans porting the rock crushing plant and considerable other equip ment to the scene of activities over the snow. Only a small amount of material remains on the dock and this will be taken out to the road camp by Holly Evans during the winter.
 Superintendent V. K. Woods, L. w. Turoff, supervising en- gineer of the Bureau of Public Roads and his family, and the few remaining men of the road construction crew, ar rived in town this morning
 The departure of the crew from the road camp on Texas Creek was delayed by a snow slide which rendered foot trav- el impossible for a time but was later negotiated without great difficulty.
 News of the camps unexpect- ed isolation was brought to town Thursday by A. H. Camp bell, the company bookkeeper, and John Ebbing. Owing to the snow conditions, the two men were compelled to follow the channel of Texas Creek from the camp to the Salmon river road. The trip was fraught with many difficulties and hardships and they did not suc- ceed in reaching town until nearly "A hours after leaving the camp. They reported the camps isolation and the need for assistance in getting the road open. Following their ar rival a number of alarming fumors were circulated regar- ing the situation of those at the camp. One of these was to the effect that the road build- CTS were without food and in danger of starvation unless assistance was speedily forth coming; another that MT. and Mrs. Turoff and their baby were practically without suste- nance. As is often the case in such circumstances, the yarns were fictitious and were ve- hemently denied by MT. Tur- off and Mir. Woods after their arrival here. Both men de- clared that there was sufficient food at the road camps to obvi- ate any immediate danger of anyone there going hungry.
 Following the report of Mess CTS Campbell and Ebbing, the Bureau of Public Roads tractor and the Holly Evans tractor left for the camp and speedily opened the way for the snow bound officials and crew. The party arrived in town about 2 o'clock this morning, none the worse for their experience.
 MT. Woods and Mir. Turoff and his family will leave to- night enroute to Juneau.

MINSTREL SHOW PROVES PLEASING
 ENTERTAINMENT

The minstrel show and bag aar given by the Friendship Club in Pioneer Hall last Sat urday evening was decidedly the best entertainment of the show" type seen here in sev- eral years and we'll merited the unstinted praise bestowed upon the performance by everyone attending.
 The program included the us- ual minstrel ensemble and was brimful of clever, specialties, lively songs, monologues and character skits, presented by an array of talent seldom found in the mining camps of the Northland.
 The Herald sincerely regrets that lack of space prevents a full description of the various numbers, many of which were exceedingly clever and pre- sented in a manner that would do credit to the professional stage.
 Outstanding among the num- Der were the comedy skit pre- sented by Rev. H. R. Cross and Miss Geraldine Torrance and depicting their troubles with a Ford car, represented by w. D. Smith, E. D. Haddon and Johnny Hewitt in a most clev- CT and amusing manner; the monologue of MT. w. D. Smith, in which he displayed an un- usually high order of histrion- ic ability; the comedy team act of Messrs Tom. Walters and E. D. Haddon, filled with songs, gags and topical hits; the comic songs of Johnny Hewitt, and especially his rem dition of "The Big Rock-Candy Mountain;;" the dancing of Mrs Edgar Provinse and Miss Peg gy Reed ;the monologue and songs of Mrs. Harold Johnson; the ''pickaninny" song and dance act of Master Billy Big ham and Miss Peggy Reed ;the comedy duo of Mrs. A. J.May- CT and Rev. Cross,in which Mrs. Mayer supplied remarkable avoirdupois with her acting; and also the fine banjo ac- compartments of MT. Richard Wirth. Mrs. w. R. Reed also rendered skillful piano accom- paniments.
 The bazaar, with it's booths and fish pond also provided much additional interest and was literally patroniZed. The fancy-work booth was in charge of Mesdames R. M. Stewart and Holger Johnson, the candy booth was super vised by Mrs. Brown, and the fish pond by Mesdames E. M. Reynolds and A. H. Benken- dorf.
