WESTWARD RESIDENT BEARS PRES, H00VER'S
 ANCIENT FAMILY NAME

Discovery that he is blood re- lated to Herbert Hoover, president of the United States has proved a mere incident in the busy life of Louie Huber, fox and goat farmer at Jackiloff Bay, near Seldovia.
 News of the relationship with Americas chief executive came by letter and in the form of an illus trated clipping from newspaper from a near relative on the outside reports the Seldovia Herald.
 The story points out that MT. Hoover's family name was Huber. Andreas Huber immigrant to this country from Ellersdtadt, Ger many, being the presidents Amer ican ancestor.
 But prior to German settlement the Huber family lived in Unter- kuhn, Switzerland, and Widow Huber still occupies the ancestral home. And it is from the Switzer- land base that the distant cousin ship between MT. Huber" presi- dent, and MT. Huber, fox and goat farmer, is tracable.
 But the Westward resident is not going to seek any ambassador ial appointment on the strength of kindship-not while he has a flock of Is goats to milk, swarm of yipping foxes to entertain pork ies to fodderize, fish to dry and market conditions to analize against that time when it might be profitable for the yippers to lose their yips.
 No, MT. Huber wants it clearly understood that unless the presi- dent can grab off enough time to side-step G an reparations, d ebt moratoriums and special gressi o nal sessions, to sav nothing of prohibition ramifica- tions and take a run over to Jacki- loff Bay, it is not likely they will get better acquainted than they are at this time-at least not until the dried fish" season rush is over.

due to heart failure
A party of hunters, among whom

Hathaway home and had been eating
a lunch and joking with Mr.. Hathaway.
Finally Hathaway went out to the wood
pile-just a few feet from the house
to get some wood Not returning for
several minutes, Polette stepped to the
window and saw the old man lying
on the ground The men hurried out
and carried him into the house but II
is believed he was dead by the time
they reached him.
Mr. Hathaway came to Libby in 1891
40 years ago, and could thus lay claim
to being one of the real pioneers Of
the district. In former years he was
engaged in business in the city anc
invested in considerable city property
Of late years he had devoted his time
to his ranch on the river. He was no

supreme character of the Nine

Mussolini, Mr.. Fish said, may
