Westward Lore.
Steward GateWay.)

(SeWard Gateway
 Did you browse around in the real early history of Alaska back in the times when men were trying to find out If Asia was connected with America? Mighty interesting especially the chronicles of those early voyages of Commander Vitus Boring and Captain Alexie Chirikov when they came over here from Kamchatka in TAI. They had made earlier voyages but this time they struck the coast of Southeastern Alaska and went right by Resurrection Bay although they were short of water They were afraid to bring their sailing vessel close in.
 Then there is that mystery of the fifteen men that Captain Chirikov sent ashore with water casks somewhere around Sitka and were never heard of again. The Captain cruised up and down for two weeks but all his small boats were gone and he couldn't land Historians think they were mas sacred but there still persist strange tales of white strain among the native inhabitants of that coast.
 About fifty years later Kodiak was established and became the seat of the first Russian Governors
 the first capital of Alaska. There are fragmentary accounts of how they sent their malefactors to imprisonment that lonely island of Chirikov, south of Kodiak. They even tell of being buried alive there and the natives of the Westward still believe his spirit abdes there along with the 300 head of wild cattle that range that wind swept waste. Then there bells ringing in Kodiak today that cast in Kodiak from bits of copper scrap a hundred years ago. Yes indeed, the Westward is rich in historic lore.

VETOING PENSION BILLS.

President Hoover almost made record when ne vetoed two general pension bills in one month HIS first pension bill veto that of the Spanish War veterans, which was quickly passed over his head by both houses of Congress. This was followed the other day by his veto of World War pension bill which the House sustained. The latter bill was passed by the Senate overwhelmingly after the Pres- dent had warned that he was opposed to 1t and, in effect threatened to veto it. The House sustained the veto by very large vote.
 Few Presidents have lost favor through vetolng measures that have passed Congress. President Cleveland was called the "Veto President" because he vetoed many times more bills than all the Presidents before his time combined. Most of his vetoes were of private pension bills, but he. too, vetoed general pension measure While his vetoes may have cost him votes in 1888, he received an overwhelming majority in the election four years later

 It is mistake for The Chicago Tribune to de- clare war on the underworld because one of it's re- porters has been assassinated by a ganster. The dead man in intimate touch with many of the gang leaders, as he was with their natural enemies let us hope at east-the police. He shot down because presumably he got to know too much, although hitherto he had never violated condolences acquired in either camp in the line of professional duty.
 It will be clear to The Chicago Tribune, on re- flection, that it's reporter Red Cross casualty in effect. To declare in reprisal for the death of reporter would be like the Red Cross declaring war on combatant nation for the death of 2 hospital worker. The life of reporter has more than its share of hazards. They range from death by gunshot or diesase in in Chicago gangland to death by boredom while interviewing celebrities It is for the Chicago police to square accounts with the murderers of The Tribune re porter and for the that he man and a citizen and not reporter

AMERICAN WOMEN GETTING MORE

American women are getting beautiful in the opinion of James Montgomery Flagg, the famous artist and illustrator
 He also considers Catherine Dale Owen and Cireta Garbo the most beautiful women on the screen today Beauty in women" he explained, Dhas to do with the bone structure. If there is no good bone structure there can be little beauty. That is why some women stay beautiful long time, why they are considered beautiful at 5o ana

ONE WEEK OF NAVAL TALK
 IS FINISHED

LONDON, Jan. 25, (P)-The delegates to the five power naval disarma ment conference virtually wound up the first weeks work with a whirl of activity, bringing Anglo and American parity sharp ly into the foreground. The British and American delegations moved that press correspondents be admitted to all future con- ferences and meetings. Senator Reid of the American delega tion urged that the cruiser angles of British and American parity be taken up before the conference before anything else. It is un- derstood that Stimson, head of the American delegation struck directly at the most troublesome questions of the whole parity discussion. although he agrees on other points of an exact balance of American and British crusier fleets. What he actually said was not made known to the press, therefore we are in ignorance of the exact meaning of the above dispatch.
