WOMAN SPEAKS MIND

Councll Bluns, Ia, Dec 4.-(UP) Mrs Donald MaCrae, who has announced her candidacy for the democratic nomination for United States senator from Iowa, to-day declared for an adequate national defense as the best menas of pre- serving peace.
 "To those, who want lasting peace, my message is keep your powder dry'." Mrs Macrae said. NO one dtests war more than I. My husband was in the Spanish American war and he and my sons participated in the World War in France. I learned to hate war dur ing their absence from home.
 But my observations lead me to believe there is only one way to avoid war and that is to be pre- pared for it. Then foreign coun- tries will be satisfied to let us alone"
 Mrs Macrae is a past president of the National American Legion Women's Auxiliary and while hold ing that office lectured in almost every state in the Union.
 Her husband, Dr Donald Macrae commanded front line medical units in the Philippines and in France.
 Mrs MaCrae said she had pro- nounced views on practically aIl campaign issues but she will not discuss them until later in the cam paign.
 ''It would take too long now to tell my views on money, the tariff and other questions which will come up in the campaign" she said.
 Should she be nominated she will face Senator Smith w. Brookhart radical republican in the Novem- Der elections.
 The democrats in conference de- cided to-day to vote Monday to seat Bankhead. They did not pass on the merits of the case. Bankhead was present at the democratic conference.

Senator George Moses, republican, N. Fl. as president pro-tem.
 The republicans gave first place on the legislative program to the Hoover debt moratorium proposals, reelected their old officials includ- ing floor Leader Watson and ad- journed ready to start the session
 Seven progressives who are planning to vote against Moses in the senate later, purpose1y boycott ted the gathering. Senator Couzens Republican, Michigan, who is pre- pairing to join them in the Moses fight, attending the conference but made no mention of the subject.
 Watson announced later the rec publicans would take the position that senate officials will automa- tically continue at their posts un- til objection is raised against them.
 This means the republicans will try to let Moses continue as pres ident pro-tem. The progressives, however, are planning to raise the question and the place may be de- clared vacant.
 The conference made a mild ges- ture for peace with the progress sives by naming one of their num- Der, Nye, N. D., to the committee on committees.
 Watson said the program of the first few days of the senate session would be: Monday, organization; Tuesday, reception of President Hoover's annual message on the state of the union; Wednesday, the budget message; Thursday, a spe- cial message on the moratorium.
 The moratorium message will be sent to the finance committee for immediate consideration, the lead- CT added. He expressed the opin- ion that no major legislation would be permitted to take precedence over the moratorium.
 The question of the program was raised on the conference by Sem ator Hiram Johnson, California, who is preparing to fight against the moratorium.
 While the republicans were In conference an hour and Q half in the marble room about 40 demo- crats gathered sn the office of Democratic Leader Robinson for a minority conference. The first wo- man senator, Mrs Hattie Caraway was not present. She has not yet come to her office to take over the senatorial post of her husband.
 Among the matters discussed by the republicans was the democratic senatorial election contest in Ala bama. Watson said no decision was reached. He said 50 far as he knew there would be no effort to block the seating of Senator Josiah Bailey, democrat, N. c.

UNALASKA TRAPPERS HAVE
 NEAR TRAGEDY

A near tragedy on Semisopochnoic Island, one of the far-out Aleutian group has recently been reported. This island was being trapped by John Mereulief and Peter Samak- nesky of Unalaska. On the 18th of December they were taking their dory up out of the water, having just returned from gathering wood for their camp, when Merculief's shotgun accidently went off, dis charging the full load into the left leg of John Merculief, just below the thigh. John then crawled on his side to their cabin, a quarter Of a mile away, while Peter went in advance, built up a fire and made plenty of hot water.
 When John arrived at the cabin he was nearly exhausted; but strong enough, with Peters help, to get his clothes off and thoroughly wash out the wound with lysol so- lution and dress it, satuTating the dressing and wound with iodine. With his pack-knife John trimmed up the wound, cutting away goodly sizes of torn flesh and probing for and removing a dozen shot. Within ten days John resumed his trap line. using an improYised crutch, contlnu ing until the close of the trapping season, January 31st.
 Upon the arrival of the Eunlco in Unalaska March 3rd, John hoD- bled to the office of Dr. Wilson, the Bureau of Education physician. Al ter examining the wound, Dr. Will son stated, it is said, that John had done an exceptionally fine job Of self treatment" and that there was little that he had to do at this time to him. There are still in his body, probably a dozen or more shot, and these the physician is of the opinion will eventually work their way to the surface, when they can be removed more easily. Johns seasons catch, nevertheless, was Al belts.

Discovery of some good ground on the adjacent creeks has brought a new feeling of optimism to the resi- dents of Wiseman, according to Louis Carpenter, who arrived at Fairbanks from there several days ago reports the News-Miner. Car penter made the journey by airplane with Pilot Vic Ross and will return as soon as he has completed the business which brought him out.
 Vern Watts and his partner have struck good pay on the Hammond river and have taken out some good sized nuggets during the winter. It is said the largest was worth $270. The record for the koyukuk was a nugget valued at $2,700, found many years ago.
 The Hammond river discovery was made in old workings and is not likely to be of any great ex- tent, says MT. Carpenter and a stampede of any kind would not be justified from recent prospecting All the ground is held and new corners would only be confronting hardships with little chance of find ing worthwhile ground.
 On the Hammond river ground two-thirds of the pay can be picked out of the bedrock by hand. The

gold is very coarse. The same con- dition obtains on Jim Greek, where an outfit has banned out about $500 since last fall. Jim Kelly is drilling on the Hammond river and is said to have some good prospects. Mir. Carpenter stated that there is little other mining activity in the Koyukuk at the present time.
 He said Robert Marshall, who went into the Koyukuk for three months stay, recently returned to Wiseman after a 40-day trip across the Brooks range to the Arctic slope. He was accompanied by Ernest Johnson.
 The health of the camp has been excellent, 1t was said, ad there has not been a death at Wiseman during che whole winter.
 After arriving at Fairbanks MT. Carpenter lost no time in buying some fresh fruit, the first which he has had since last fall with the ex- ception of some bananas and pears which were taken in by Sam Dublin by airplane. Food prices at Fair banks seem cheap to him. In the Koyukuk milk sells three cans for a dollar, sugar is 25 cents a pound. flour 20 cents a pound and other commodities in proportion.

MOOSE CHARGES
 PIONEER NIXON

How a COW moose charged Jack Nixon, we'll known pioneer of Nix on's Fork in the upper Kuskokwim and how his life was saved once by an accident and after that by his agility was told by friends of MT. Nixon who travelled to Alaska with him on the last boat, says the Fair banks News Miner.
 The experience occurred last fall when MT. Nixon was mushing out from the Kuskokwim. He was en- route to the Mayo Clinic and has now returned to the Kuskokwim, having flown there from Anchorage.
 Snow had already fallen when MT. Nixon started out last fall. He was walking along with a pack and snowshoes on his back and was crossing a stream covered with shell ice when he heard a snort behind Jim and turning, saw a moose charging him at full speed. He started to run but weighted down by the pack he was making slow time when he suddenly slipped and lell. So close was the moose to him that she went clear over him.
 MT. Nixon gained his feet and made for a clump of brush, his ulti- mate destination being the largest tree in the vicinity. The moose had been unable to check its speed after passing over MT. Nixon and he had reached the brush when it turned to charge him again. When it was nearly upon him he darted to one side and throwing away the pack made for the tree at his best speed.
 Again the moose slid along the ice for some distance before con- ing to a stop. By that time MT. Nixon had started to climb the tree. It looked weak at the top, however, and he did not venture very high for fear it would break.
 Once more the moose came up on a dead run and could have im- paled MT. Nixon on it's horns but it seemed to be afraid of crashing .sdInst the tree.
 The miner believed he was in Tor a long seize on his precarious perch. The moose circled the tree TOT long minutes and finally struck off for the timber.
 MT. Nixon did not climb down until it had disappeared from sight and he was on the alert for long time after that. He is convinced that the moose would have trampIeo him to death had it cornered him.

 He was in the yard of his home on the Harris road, watching his wife learning to drive a car. The car headed for a stump, and Drae- ger tried to stop It. Just then, his wife stepped on the acceleator, in- stead of applying the brake. Drae- ger was pinned against the stump, by the force of the car which had shot ahead.
