he would not forget his tricks.
Maybe. one of these days, q
hooking would be made. And
what would happen if the bear
had grown rusty in his per-
formance? The thought made
me nervous.
He excused himself for a
moment, leaving me alone with
the bear. The animal, how
ever, didn't seem to know I
was there-which was COM
pletely satisfactory to me.
He said he was going around
the corner for some coffee. I
asked if I might join him. He
grunted something. So I trailed
along.
Over our coffee, the man

Then he explained the I'VE"
There were three in the aero
batic act; the man, his wife
and another man. The other
man had been a friend of the
couple for some years. He had
been the best man at their
wedding.
Things, it seemed, were going
well with them. Good routes.
Fair money. All three rather
happy.
Bear Is Companion
On morning, about 10 years
before, came the blowoff. With
out so much as a word of good
by, the wife disappeared with
the other man.
"She left me flat" murmured
the man as he slipped his coffee.
And there I was. No more
act. No more wife. No more
partner. I was pretty much in
the dumps, can tell you.
Il loved her, I guess. But
what's the use of going into
that sort of stuff. I swore right
then and there that all men and
women were double-crossers. 1
swore right then that I'd never
love another woman or befriend
another man. And I haven't.
IT drifted around for a long
time, but I finally snapped out
of it. Then I got me this bear
about seven years ago and we've
been together ever since. We've
got good act, but it's hard to
get bookings. They don't want

He arose to his feet.
There it is" he said shortly.

about my troubl S5-but there
you are"
I stopped him.

asked. THE garage man tells
me you spend twice as much
on the bear every week as
you do on yourself. You must
be pretty much up against it
right now. Do you have to
spend that much on him?"
He smiled.
"Why shouldn't I spend every

 The dedication exercises were im- pressive. In the presence of about 150 persons, Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock; Mayor w. J.

 MT. Garfields address was as follows:
 Good friends of Skagway ana from the South, we have gathered today for the dedication of a me- morial commemorating an event in the annals of the Northland.

One of those incidents that have made romantic novels but that rarely occur in real life was con- summated at Skagway Tuesday when the Dorothy Alexander was in that port. A memorial donat- ed by man, recently dead, to a sweetheart of his youth was dedi- cated. A bust of Mollie Walsh, who lived for a while in Skagway and then successfully conducted a roadhouse at Log Cabin on the Skagway trail to the Klondike, was unveiled. The bust was made by James A. wehn, now famous Se- attle sculptor, and was paid for by Jack Newman, who loved Mol lie in the days of '97 and '98.
 Mollie Walsh was a beautiful American-Irish girl from the West who came North to accumulate money for herself and relatives. Jack Newman, an American-Irish boy who grew up in the streets of New York, became acquainted with Buffalo Bill when the latter was presenting his Wild West show to the people of New York City. He, a romantic youth, who lived in his dreams, blacked the shoes of the famous westerner, day after day at the entrance of his tented vil- lage of westerners and Indians. Jack conceived the idea of going West and becoming "two-gun' man. At fifteen Jack was in Colorado. spending the money he earned as a packer on the mining

John Horace Humbert of Park Avenue, New York, but back of this, she told Judge Rudolph F. Desort, was the fact that she apparently had been married flor display purposes only.
 MT. Humbert thought, because I am a show girl, that I must be continually on display" she testi- fled.
 "All he wanted to do was to pa- rade me on Park Avenue for the 5 o'clock tea crowd to see. Why, I couldn't even get up that early, be- cause he wanted to keep me up all night for the whoopee hounds to ogle."
 She had wanted "yine-covered cottage" she said, and quiet home life.

 Desperately in Love
 Mollie Walsh, smiling, singing and ambitiously. industrious, was running her road house near Log Cabin. The romantic New York youth, with years of Colorado train ing, met Mollie and fell desper- ately in love. He wanted Mollie to marry him, but Mollie had ideas more practical. than marrying a handsome and care-free youth who had nothing but his youth and dreams. She wanted to provide for a widowed mother and young sisters and brothers. She went on to Dawson in the early spring of 1899. There she became book keeper for Bartlett Brothers, pack CTS and freighters. Later she married one of her employers and in the course of time went to Se- attle, where her husband, inaia madly. but unwarrantedly jealous rage, shot her to death He was acquitted of the crime on the ground of insanity.

ALASKA NEEDS
 ROAD TO SOUTH,
 SAYS D'CANAHL
Impeded Circulation Stops Growth, Chamber Told
 by Visitor from East

Alaska is suffering from strangu- lated circulation and its greater, need is the creation of arterial ways to open it to a greater free- dom of movement to and from the United States, declared Charles F. DeGanahl, wealthy retired oil man of White Plains, N Y, in a brief and forceful talk before the Cham Der of Commerce today.
 He, Thomas Askren, Grand Mas ter of the Grand Lodge of Wash ington and Alaska F. & A. M, and Charles F. Lanwermeyer. Chicago chemist, were guests of the local business organization at its noon lunch today.
 Pioneering Breeds Men
 Pioneer lands, life and conditions breed race of men, declared MT. DeGanahl. This has been proved true by the record of American de- velopment. The original settlers were picked men in the sense that they were individuals whose spirits were undaunted by the perils of an unknown and dangerous ocean voy- age, the menace of hostile Indians. The fittest of them only survived the trials they underwent.
 This process went on unceasingly as the colonies aged and spread their population across mountains valleys, plains and more mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The United States became strong nation be- cause in the overcoming of natural difficulties and building up a civili- zation out of the wilderness, strong men and real leaders were pro- duced.
 The sam5 sort Of men came to the north in the great gold rush. es. Alaska, said MT. DeGanahl, is a breeding place and place of &C., cumulation of real men, because it is the only remaining American frontier. There is something in the call of difficult things that brings fellows of spirit together and this frontier country is doing most valuable service to the United States" he asserted.
 Lacks Circulation Only
 T have been about your coast about two months. I am delight ed, of course, with what I have seen. But to me Alaska sticks up like a sore hand. It is suffer- ing from strangulated circulation. Its only circulation is through a few steamers that touch here and there along the coast. The rest of it is dead from lack of circulation. D
 In the projected International Highway, he visioned the artery through which life would be pour ed into parts of the Territory now dormant. "The International High way means much more than is now conceived" he asserted. It means more than a new field for the automobile manufacturers to market their wares, and for tourists to spend their money and time. True

|TROLLERS SUITISSUE WARRANT,
 ION NONRESIDENT IBICAMY CHARGE,
 TAX IS ARCUEDIFO REV. HUDSON
Territorial License Tax so 1929 Is Upheld andE
 Assailedby Counsel

The validity of the nonresident trollers' tax act of 1929 again was upheld and attacked before Judge Justin w. Harding, in the United States district court here this week in the case of Wood Freeman, q Seattle troller, against Walstein G. Smith, Treasurer of Alaska. Attor- ney General John Rustgard. ap- bearing for the Territory, argued that the Legislature had the un-- doubted right to impose such tax if it were not "prohibitive," and asserted that with average earn ings of the trollers about $3,000 per year, a $250 levy could not be said to be prohibitive.
 H. L. Faulkner, representing Free man, asserted that the Legislature no longer has any power to enact tax measures which discriminate between residents and non-resl- dents, and has not had since the passage of the so-called White Fisheries Act of 1924. Tn support of this position, he cited the opin- , ion of the Circuit Court of Ap- peals when the Freeman case was before it on demurrer several months ago.
 No Answer Possible
 MT. Faulkner contended that the Circuit Courts decision in this at. tion is in effect a holding that the statute under attack is void and in the argument before the Dis trict Court, it was contended that no answer could be filed which would constitute defense to the plaintiffs complaint.
 He referred to the language of the Appellate Courts decision as follows: Does the Territorial Act of 1929 deny to citizens of the United States rights guaranteed to them by the laws of the United States? We are constrained to hold that it does" And he then pointed to the following language in the last paragraph of the same decis- ion: We are of the opinion. there fore, that there is plain and ir- reconcilable conflict between the act of Congress and the act of the Territorial legislature, and in such cases the latter must yield
 Power Is Taken Away
 MT. Faulkner argued that the Territory's contention that a de- fense might be interposed to the complaint regardless of the Ap- pellate Courts decision. probably based on the courts declaration that the naked power to impose taxes and licenses, or to make req sonable discrimination between res- idents and non-residents, is not in- volved," was not well based.
