NEW AIRWAYs BUSINESS
 ESTABLISHED AT MIG CARTHY

In flying from Valdez to McCar- thy, Harold Gillian made the trip in 90 minutes, flying 20 minutes out of his course. His plane, a Swallow, powered by a 225 h.p. Whirlwind motor, worked perfectly on the pio- neering flight. At times Gillian flew to 10000 foot altitude in or der to clear all peaks. He landed at Mccarthy on skis made from AL askan birch. The landing was made perfectly on snow only one foot deep. The Gillian Airways has now established business at Mccarthy with two planes and advises that 1t is now opened for business for all parts of Alaska. One of the first flights will be made for the Hon. William Sulzer, former governor of New York, who is head of the Chi sana Mines, Inc, operating in the White River country.

Wrangell Votes Bonds

By a vote of practically three to one Wrangell decided on Tuesday in favor of issuing it's bonds in any sum not exceeding $5O,000 for the construction and equipment of a new school house. The result of the poll was as follows: For bonds, 147: against bonds, 53.
 This is the third time Wrangell has voted on this question. In 1927 the vote was 53 in favor of bonds and "A against. Tn 1929 the vote was 92 for and ST against.
 The election passed very quietly this year until the votes were count ed and then the school children be- came hilarious over the prospect of new school house at last. Every noise making device was brought into action. For weeks the school pupils have been wearing buttons bearing the words: We want a new school house." When the result of the election was announced they took these buttons from their coats and gleefully threw them into the air; they had served their purpose.
 The town council met on the fol- lowing night and accepted the re- port of the election board.

Proclamation by the
 Mayor of Wrangell

It has become an established prac- tice in every wideawake community to clean house in the spring of the year.
 Much of our cleaning is due i-s a desire to make everything attrac- tive, yet there is another important reason why our efforts in that di- rection should be thorough and complete. I refer to fire and disease prevention, and it is to that feature of the spring cleanup activities that I am directing the attention of our citizens at this time.
 Safety from fire and disease is a matter of supreme importance. Wherever there is dirt and disorder there is danger. A pile of trash may start a conflagration and constant care must be taken against such disaster.
 Now, therefore, I, G. E. Diemart, mayor of the Town of Wrangell, do hereby designate the period from April 21 to April 30, inclusive, as spring cleanup time in Wrangell and I call upon all good citizens to aid and support this campaign with every means within their power; to individually clean up and remove from their premises all rubbish and other combustible materials and all unsightly matter whatsoever and in so far as such citizens are able, to paint or in other ways rejuvenate the buildings and structures on their premises and to do all things proper and fitting to carry out this proc lamation in spirit as we'll as in letter
 This spring campaign should be carried into every section of the town, and the time to begin making preparations for it is NOW.
 Let us enter actively into the work, and thereby contribute to the safety, health and happiness of our selves and our neghbors.
 Given under my hand and seal of office, this 18th day of April, 1880.

 ANCHORAGE HARBOR

To the motorship DiscoYerer, Cap tain Heinie Berger, belongs the dis tinction Of being the first boat to enter the Anchorage harDor this season. The vessel arrived in port last week from Seward, having made stops en route at Seldoyia, Kusilof and Kenai.
 Captain Berger reported that ice conditions are still somewhat both ersome down the inlet and it will be several days probably before the waters will be reasonably free of floating cakes. The captain made a previous attempt to get as far as Kenai but found the inlet full of ice at that time.

PR0SPECTORS DISAPPOINTED
 IN NEW GOLD CAMP AT RUBY

RUBY, Alaska.-Thirty prospect ing plants now operating in the vii cinity of Beaver creek so far have shown no favorable results since the first discovery of highgrade placer ground was made January 28.
 Favorable indications were found but no pay on adjacent claims which lie on Fox pup, right limit tributary emptying into Beaver creek on three above discovery.
 At least 15 holes have been punched to bedrock below and above discovery. Blanks only have been drawn. Prospectors have been drowned out in several of the holes.
 Development will be slow until the discoverers get machinery in stalled and show the extent of the pay on discovery claim. The prop osition, as it looks at the. present time, is doubtful and does not war rant anyone going to great expense to come here; at least, until more ground is proven by systematic prospecting on other creeks than Beaver. Claim owners are not doing systematic prospecting at the pres ent time but are doing just the necessary work for their annual la bor before July to hold the claims.

Bail Bond Grating.

A Federal grand jury in New York
City has just completed an investiga-
ton into the evil of bail bond graft in
the magistrates courts in Manhattan
and the Bronx, making a presentation
that lays bare conditions that the
United States attorney for that jurtS-
diction characterizes as disgrace. Ac-
cording to this report a veritable scale
of fees prevails at the station houses
and the courts. Bond runners pay, as
rule, SIS to the desk lieutenant at the
station house, 81 to the turnkey, 81 to
the clerk at the bridge in the magis-,
trate's court and 81 or So to the court
clerk who fills out the bail bond. All
this money, of course, goes into the cost
of the bond, which the prisoner pays.
On small bonds this amounts to from
So to $40, but it is not infrequent to
extort from the prisoner as high as
500 on a $1,000 bond. In some cases
the bondsmen or their representatives
are given sleeping accommodations In
the station houses, for a consideration,
Of course.
Professional bonding of persons ar
rested for miSdemeanors and crimes has
been developed into q large business.
1t is lucrative business, too, and con-
sequently there is much competition.
The bondsmen or their runners infest
the station houses and the courts and
no time is lost in getting contact with
the prisoners. Naturally, in such cir
cumstances graft is likely to develop,
especially in large cities where "busi-
ness" is good and profitable.
It would be well to look into this
matter here in the District to determine
whether there Is any unwholesome con-
nection between police station, and bond
agent. It has been said in the past
that professional bondsmen know of
arrests even before they are made, es-
pecially in case of raids, where numbers
Of persons are taken into custody
simultaneously. Indeed, it has been
said that the bondSmen were likely to
be waiting at the station house when
the patrol wagons, loaded with prison.
ers, reached there. This may not be
true, or, If true, then it may be no
longer the case. Certainly it would do
no harm to investigate the matter to
see If there is any undesirable rela-
tionship.
On the assumption that a person is
innocent until proved to be guilty, the
fact Of arrest does not establish guilt
and should never cause the imposition
Of unnecessary hardship. If the Of
fender is bailable under the law, he
should be granted the earliest possible
release upon the giving of satisfactory
bond for appearance in court. To this
end expedition is desirable, but in the
expediting Of this service there should
be no graft, which the bailee pays.

The Panther" Hunt.

This panther" hunt is getting very
exciting. At first only few residents
Of the National Capital we're interested
in the maraudings of the beast, but
now a steadily growing army is seek
ing to track it to its lair. Citizens,
police, big-game hunters and Federal
operatives are working hand in hand
in the great adventure. Recruits are
being added daily, and it would not be
at all surprising if the Boy Scouts and
the National Guard joined the fray
1t cannot help being exciting when
such a large number of people are
seeking the same end.
Another thrilling phase of this great
hunt is that probably none of the hunt
ers knows what they are hunting for,
and neighborhood dogs, cats and even
the hunters themselves are liable to
suffer from the overzealousness of one
Of the shotgun brigade. The beast has
been variously described as a large dog,
coyote, panther, bobcat or mountain
lion. A few days more Of the hunt and
it may well be tiger, rhinoceros
or an elephant, depending on the i'm
agination Of those who allege that they
have glimpsed it. Whatever it is, it is
not likely to hurt any of the hunters
before it is dispatched. The important
thing is for none of the hunters to
hurt themselves before the animal is
finally tracked down.
