TRADE COUNCIL BOOSTS HIGHWAY
 PROJECT.

At its eighth annual meeting held in Oakland attended by 400 deeates from all parts of Western United States and other countries bordering on the Pacific Ocean, adopted resolution supporting the International Highway linking together Pacific Coast regions from South America to Alaska. Ernest Walker Sawyer one of the American members of the joint commission to study the feasibility of the CanadianAlaska section of the route, attended tie convention and spoke at length on it.
 Prior to adjournment the Council passed short resolution saying:
 Recognizing the material advantage to
 Pacific Coast unity of the proposed Inter
 national Highway from South America to
 Alaska, urge the early completion Of
 the necessary preliminary engineering ana
 economic studies, and that work on this
 project be commenced possible.
 In a quiet way without even the usual amount of publicity much of the engineering investigation needed has already been done. The Alaska Road Commission has had engineers studying favorable routes this summer, and the British Columbia De- partment of Public Works has been engaged ln similar activity When the American and Canad- ian commissioners meet late this week in victoria is to be hoped that they will be able to formulate some program which will make it possible to put the entire matter before Congress and the Common Parliament this Winter, and that their report will be of a nature calculated to get further authorlza tions from those bodies for additional work

The wonder is, where certainly from the one source that would produce all such news if Prohibition were successfully en- forced-the Federal Prohibition Bureau There MT woodcock, beleagured chief of the dry forces, is trying to push back the unsubsidng wave of illicit liquor. ,
 The old and honorable argument that Prohlb- Non would turn all the country's money away from waste and into productive lines and would forever eliminate poverty and hard times is rather moioly inst now Prohibition too, to take the dread liouor interests out of politics, which were then to be clean and upright.

BUREAU OF FISHERIES NOT
 RESPONSIBLE.

For several years local residents in certain sec tons in the Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula dis tricts have been paid five cents for each salmon trout taken by them. In this manner campaign of exterminaton waged against this species of fish which are classed most destructive to sa- mon, eating eggs and fry in stupendous numbers the spawning grounds. The bounty was paid through the United States Bureau of Fisheries
 The bounty has been reduced to two cents lately. This brings forth from the Seward Gateway a pro- test in which it rather causcaly takes the Bureau of Fisheries to task for penny wise pound foolish attitude In this particular instance, the bureau is not the responsible party. The salmon trout bounty inaugurated by the Territory some three years ago The funds for it appropriated by '@@ Territorial Legislature. The current reduction from five to two cents occasoned by the fact that economy in Territorial expenditures at this time is absolutely necessary. The Bureau of Fish cries is merely acting the agent of Alaska in putting the reduction into effect.

ROASTING PROCESS HAS ACCURACY OF
 ANCIENT TIMEP|ECE
Hour-glass and Hills Bros Method of Roasting Coffee
 Operate a Little at a Time

It is fascinating to watch an hour-glass flowing evenly, continu- ously, little at time. But the flavor of coffee that's roasted con- tinuously, little at c time, is even more fascinating!
 Controlled Roasting-Hills Bros patented process is the only such roasting method. As the ac- curacy of the hourglass depends upon an even, continuous flow =. a little at time -. so the marvel ous flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously .. |. c little at c time.
 There is a vast difference between Controlled Roasting and ordinary bulk-roasting methods. There is a vast difference in results too! Con- trolled Roasting flawlessly con- pletes the work that Nature began in the coffee-berry. It develops the flavor perfectly! You have never tasted the like, if you have never tasted Hills Bros. Coffee.
 Remember also that this coffee never varies in flavor And it is al- ways fresh! Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of Hills Bros.' vacuum cans. Ordinary, tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

DEATH FO|LED IN CLUTCH BY
 MINE WORKER
Charles Napes Carried 200 Feet Up Ladder by
 Lee Johnson

Death clutched in vain for a vic- tim in the underground workings of the Alaska Juneau mine yester- day. Charles Napes, bulldozer, plunged down a chute and with a twisted spine, broken jaw and a body bruised and lacerated all over, lay helpless at the bottom, dimly conscious of his plight. He was found by Lee Johnson, fellow min CT, who shouldered the limp and suffering burden and carried it POO feet up ladder.
 Step by step, as Johnson slowly made the difficult ascent, Napes, in a voice scarcely audible, poured forth broken, disconnected words of gratitude.
 On reaching the surface the in jured man was hastened to St. Ann's hospital.
 He has a chance to live" said Dr. L. P. Dawes, attending physi- clan, today.
 When Johnson joined his shift to go below this morning stalwart comrades gathered round to shake his hand and slap his back in tok- en of their admiration.

FINNISH JUDGES CONDEMN
 PROHIBITION.

In report to their Government, the Federation Of Finnish Judges has formally declared that Pro- hibition in that country has had extremely un- desirable results" The Federation finds that liquor consumption has increased 50 per cent. and that most of the people of the country openly repudiate the liquor laws, thereby undermining legal order and increasing crime Finland has been attempting to enforce Prohibition for one year more than has the United States. Finland is slowly modifying it's noble experiment. It sometime ago increased the legal alcoholic content of beer and official commission is even drawing up plan to sup plant Prohibition with modified liquor control laws. It has made headway.
 It is evident that Finlands experience is not greatly different from that of the United States. The program it is endeavoring to work out, indi- cates it is convinced it must arrive at temperance ct some other way than by sumpuary laws. The time is not far distant when the people of this country will force their present leaders to take similar action, choose leadership that will.

racing through her body.
To have to stay here and do
nothing. OF course as a last
resort there was Clary. Any
thing but that. -.
Tony ought to be told that
there was no hope from his
chief. She sat down at the
phone, and called the county
Jail, asked if message could
be got to Anthony Curtis, She
was told it could not. And that
she could not see him tonight.
Tomorrow she would go down
to him, and explain about Clary.
He would understand. Clary
couldn't insult her. Tony would
not let him. This thought
brought some comfort. BY to-
morrow she would have some
plan, something that would let
Tony out.
His trial would not come up
for some days. This much she
had gotten out of Mr.. Gilligan.
This was only bail so he could
be out of jail. Bail. Five hun
dred dollars. A lot Of money.
"Why doesn't something hap
pen!" she walled aloud. Just
something!"
Anyway the rent was paid for
a week yet. At the end of the
week they woulo move. They
couldn't afford to stay here
any longer, paying $95 a month.
They would move into a cheap
er place, and Tony would have
to get another job. A real job.
He had promised never to do
this bootlegging business again.
She cringed when she thought
of it.
She-she would go back to
work, too. If not for Mr.. Like

The door bell rang, and when
she didn't answer it, she heard
the janitor call her name. Re-
Neved, she went, and found
out that he wanted her to turn
on the lights Of Tony's car, or
else put it in the garage. She
explained that her husband
had gone on a short trip, and
that he had the keys with him.

The bell rang and Babe
answered it. Mr.. Likely'S

her coat and bag and left.
Phone Goes Unanswered
Dee breathed a sigh Of
relief when she was finally in
the car. At last she was
alone. The phone tangled an
noyingly, but she made no
move to answer it. She didn't
want to talk to anyone tonight.
Babes visit had been bad
enough.
The apartme ent seemed
lonely, more forlorn than
usual. The flowers she had
bought yesterday morning at a
little stand near by were wilted
from lack Of fresh water.
Roses. She had thought them
so beautiful. A few pink petals
had dropped from the blossoms
and were on the table.
In the kitchen as she paced
back and forth, she saw the
groceries she had bought for
tonight's meal, to supplement
what had been left over last
night. Lettuce, a few tomatoes.
Her fingers ran over a thin
coating of dust on the gateleg
table. She shouldn't have left
a window open. -.

that Tony wasn't coming home.

would come home. Later per-

he would come.

Impatiently she glanced at
the phone, which was ringing
again. Nothing she could do.
Nothing.

Her eyes frightened as they
caught the CLINT of the silver
coffee set on the tea wagon.
She could sell those. No she
couldn't. She never would get

Diet and
Health
By DR.. Logan Clendening

Frequent inquiries are made
concerning the harmfulness or
healthfulness of hard water.
The hardness of water is de-
cided by the amount of cal
cium in it. Water softeners
simply take the calcium salts
out Of the solution.
Calcium in drinking water
is absorbed into the blood
stream and to a certain extent
deposited in the tissues. The
body needs calcium normally.
Such structures as the bones
and teeth are made up largely
Of calcium. 1t circulateS nor

action of controlling the tone

In diseased conditions. or.
rather, the natural changes OF
advancing years, it is deposited
in the walls of arteries-so.
called hardening of the arteries.
1t also forms the chemical
basis for the nodules and chalky
deposits around joints in
chronic rheumatism.
There is no reason to believe
that an increased hardness of
water contributes any addition
to the last two processes men.
toned. People who drink hard
water are not more subject to
hardening or Qualification OF
the arteries or to chronic
rheumatism than others.
Many physicians are of the
opinion that after chronic rheu-
matiSm has started the use of
hard water for drinking pur.
poses should be stopped. This
is a matter of discussion and
it must be admitted there is
some justification for such q
view.
We may conclude, however,
that hard water is not harm
full for drinking purposes in
health.
