 was later reported to be living in Kansas.
 In 1926 she appeared at Flor once, Ariz., where a court annul-
 ed her marriage to Gordon.
 She alleged that the marriage had been a pretense to escape custody of her guardian. { Her whereabouts again became a mystery until she appeared at Vinta, Okla, in 1927 and tele- phoned her banker to buy her a new car and disappeared again after he had complied with her request.
 Gordon fought the annulment and it was set aside in 1929. It was then revealed Maude Lee had married Joseph Wilson inn mediately after the court had annulled her first marriage.
 Her wealth accumulated from oil, zinc and lead royalties on the production of Oklahoma lands she inherited from her father. The divorce petition said the whereabouts of the rich Indian maid was unknown.

FOR OR AGAINST?

The salmon packing combine heretofore has opposed home rule of Alaska's fisheries. They ask for home rule, for home con- sumption, and then lobby against any legislation which would pro- vide such a rule. Now that MT. C'Malley has stepped on their pet corn it remains to be seen whether they will continue to give him their undivided support or whether they will go after his political neck.
 "He Can't do It
 Said a prominent canner: MT. C'Malley will never close Bristol Bay. The Packers won't let him" So? Are the packers bigger than the government and is it a fact that Henry is their little pawn with a price, willing to sell out his honor and integrity for a bit of Uncle Sam's legal tender?

 There is an old saying to the effect that good laugh is much better for. the health than bad medicine If this saying is true, good health is sure to prevail in Petersburg for a long time as all who attend "The Whole Towns Talking" are sure to get a great many laughs. The lines of the comedy are very witty and the situations are so clever that the members of the cast never tire of rcherSalS and this enthusiasm is sure to put it over" as they say in Hollywood. MT. Dodge ex- presses himself as being very for tunate in securing the services of So many talented Petersburg players.

which we have denied OurSevles to save.
 And as soon as the trend to the use of petroleum became ap- parent, few alarmistS began to estimate the supply of petrole- um. The supply was inadequate, they claimed. Peoples nerves were overprimed and somewhat iumpy. Producing companies quickly saw potential profits and another great "conserva- ton" scheme was worked out in the name of those poor benight- cd future generations" which enabled them to materially in crease the current prices of pe- troleum products and large areas of land were tied up in Naval Oil Reserves" and the develop ment of Alaska's oil was quite effectively forestalled.
 And that impending day of doom when there should be no more gasoline-what of it? In spite of greater gas consumption than ever before, our govern ment is today encouraging petro- leum companies to combine to prevent lover production" Why?

gallons of uSable fuel out of the
 crude, enormously increased the
 effective supply of fuel gas. The
 new type of combustion engines
 which utilize the cheaper heavy
 Cils are gradually but steadily
 supplanting ths gas engine. The
 economical distillation of uSable
 gas from coal, from refuse and even from sewage, is an accomp- lished fact.
 i It appears that the Creator nas abundantly pro> iced for
 mans needs fer power. The ways and means are here for us just to the extent that we are clever enough to catch on, and neceS- sity may mother many inven- tions yet.
 In the light of these observa tions, the real reason back of the idea of conservation of Alas ka's coal and petroleum becomes apparent. ShreWd operators are clever enough to use the alarm iStS and altruiSts as paWnS and buffers to fOreStall economic Icompetition. And there are men ln our legislatures, in Con- Gress, yea, even editors, who have been scared and deluded into believing that their solemn duty to the generations unborn, can best be served by denying the present generation the right ful use of the Almighty's bounty and BOARDING PERISHABLES! While others supply the worlds demands, AlaSka'S resources are sewed up and held for delivery intact-TO WHOM? To a gener- ation which with the benefit of tomorroW'S science will provide itself with better things and Spurn that which we have denied ourselves to save? Oh, no,-to lke delivered intact to that ele- ment which now looks upon us as pawns in their game, to be eX plotted by them in their own good time as our fisheries have been. Meanwhile freeborn Alas ka citizens, dumbest of all crea- lures, stand and wait in the midst of plenty with open mouths, empty heads, empty pockets, empty stomachs, hold ing an empty sack.

INDIAN RESERVES

The withdrawal of 625 square miles of land in the Lake Tetlin district on the Upper Panama River section, for vocational training purposes for Indian re- 'sidents has aroused opposition in some quarters of Alaska. The reservation is a plan to relieve conditions among the Indians of the district. It will be used for the farming of mink and foxes.
 The Alaska Native Brother hood has opposed the reservation idea in Alaska. It has asked for equal distribution Of the rights, privileges and obligations of ci- tizenship- without any special favor. They have asked for an opportunity to earn a decent iv- ing.
 The opportunity for the In dian to make a decent living living has been dnied him. He must either receive benefit of such a reservation as above named or become a charge of the government with a ration system to insure at least suffi- cient food and clothing.

MAKING FARMERS From The Seattle Star

During the years 1915 to 1916
 the government urged farmers to
 settle in Matanuska Valley tc raise potatoes to be shipped over the Alaska Railroad.
 More than 400 went and grew potatoes.
 Tn the fall when the crop was ready to be sent to the States the Anchorage terminus of the railroad was closed by silt and ice. It was impossible for the farmers to get their potatoes to market, and they found them selves with a surplus of 23OO tons.
 The key to Alaska's growth in population is the fisheries. A contented fishermen becomes a permanent resident and his bank account and home described to friends and relatives bring new corners to Alaska. The overflow from the fishing centers natural ly gravitate to other centers of mining, milling, logging, farming and various mercantile and oth- CT businesses. The growth could be phenOmenouS- it will not with bureacratic pinheads doing their utmost to discriminate in favor of the 5 5 5 5 and making it impossible for the resident to make decent living whereby he might become satisfied to call Alaska my own, my native land" That will solve the rail- road deficit in a large measure; that will solve the deficits in the accounts of local business.

minent. Our government ex- rended enormous sums in a mis- guided attempt to estimate how many years the available supply Of coal would last. On account of the supposed shortage, a sys- tenn of conservation" was work ed out (by Pennsylvania's coal barons) whereby Alaska'S un- limited supply of coal would be conserved fer future genera tiOnS." The effect was to elim- mate Alaska as Q competitor in tile world market, and a demand for Pennsylvania's product was assured at prices which made nillionaires of the operators.
 Then an unforeseen contin- gency intervened. The world turned to petroleum as an addi- tonal source of power. Oil burn CTS now generate the steam for millions of kilOWattS of electric energy while millions of tons o1 the worlds coal supply today bcgs for a market and thousands of coal miners are unemployed 10th in America and Europe.

WE ARE RIGHT

Right along for the past ten years we have warned the legfs- lature and Congress that deple- tion of Alaska's fisheries was but a matter of time. The Bu- reau of Fisheries pointed to big ger packs each year in refutation of the charge.
 On the 7th of July, MT. O'Mal- ley said that conditions in the Bristol Bay section pointed to a good pack. On the 10th of July he said that the Bristol Bay can- ners would put up their packs; on the 18th of July the close sea son was heightened to 12O hours a week; on the 17th of July he closed that area for the balance
 of the year; on the 31st of July l he says he will recommend the |, closure of that district until ll935. e= A ;.

A Virginia woman today was bemoan-

her cars steering gear to go wrong on
the exact section of the Lee Highway

were returning yesterday from the Rap

then ran of the road as she steered her
