of letter written by Colonel Gtto F. Ohlson, general manager CT 5he Alaska Railroad, in reply to criti- cism of fur ranchers, particularly with reference to shipments of live foxes by express rather than by freight,over the railroad. Among other things Colonel OhlSon states:
 "The railroad came to the con- clusion that it was inadvisable to accept the responsibility of hand ling live foxes, mink and other valuable fur-bearing animals as freight, owing to the careful hand ling they require and the high val uations placed upon them by the shippers. AS such live animals when shipped, are usually intended for breeding purposes, the owners value them at prices considerably higher than could be obtained fol them otherwise.
 AS to the express rates, alleged to be some 75O per cent higher than freight, it may be stated that
Seward daily gateway., 1931-11-25

the express rate on shipments of this character is lower or but lit tie more than the freight rate would be, as the following state ment will illustrate.
 The allegation that the refusal to accept live foxes for freight shipment has caused many ranch CTS to pelt their animals, close their ranches and start anew where no such drastic rules are in forcd, is believed to be without merit"
 In reply to an inquiry as to whether or not a change should be made from the present practice of shipment, the general manager states that it would be inadvisable to make change from express to freight shipment of fur-bearing animals.
 * x * j: 1 The Bureau of Fisheries comedies thatthe Alaska salmon industry has not been affected by the general business depression that seems to be prevalent over the world. A ten tative estimate of the pack for the
 1881 season to September shows
 that the total to that date was 5,335, ,461 cases, as against 4,839, 300
 cases in 1880 to August 31, and
 5,032,236 for the entire season of 1 193O.
 | It is of interest to note that the
 output of red salmon in 1881 is all
 most double that of the preceding year and also shows fair increase over the average for the five-year period. This was due primarily to
 the splendid runs in the important Bristol Bay region, particularly on
 the east side of the bay, where there were good runs and escape mentS in 1926, the brood year for a large proportion of this seasons fish, Excellent runs of pink sal mon entered the waters of South eastern Alaska, with the result that despite curtailed operations, the production of this species was we'll above the average for recent years, | although it was substantially less than the 1880 output
 ] Comparing tl1e preliminary fig ures for 1881 with the average for the five-year period from 1926 to lI930, by districts, both Southeast trn and Western Alaska show gains of approximately six per cent, while for Central Alaska there is a decline of Il per cent. It has later been estimated that the total l Alaska pack for the 193l season will be 5,44O,000 cases, which will include 1,680,OO0 cases of reds, B. !, 00O,709 pinks, 540,024 chums, TO- 1000 echoes and 52,6'72 kings.

West Texas Ready For
Wheat Harvest

Sen. Clinton Small, who knows the Panhandle coun-
try, the Plain country. indeed. all sections Of that en-
pire lying TO the westward Of Fort Worth, predicts
the largest yield Of wheat ever known under Texas
skies. His advices are that unless something unforeseen
takes place the total yield may top 5~O.000,OOO bu, and
the minimum yield not less than 45,0O0.00O bushels.
There are wheat growers who predict 40 bushels 70
the acre in many sections Of western Texas. They
know the yield IS to be great but they are in doubt rs
TO the price. II may 20 as hight as 50 cents, they say,
and may drop as low as the 40 cent mark. Harvesting
will begin early in June and hundreds Of unemployed
are promised jobs while the season is on.
Speaking of wheat culture there are men away out
in the west who say that It would be Just as easy cor
that section Of Texas to produce 2O0.OO0.O0o bushels AZ
40 or SO million bushels. Texas and Oklahoma grow

abyss, never knowing at what mo-
ment she would be pitched head
long into the botromless depths.
ONCE when she was a little girl
" there was a thing Beryl had
said sho would never do. Later
she did IL. IL wasn't a great sin
some slight piece Of mischief that

lesson was that she might say she

that did not make II a fact. She
might be fooling herself again.
Beryl argued, when she said she
would never love anyone but Tom

true and the anguish the thought
OF his being married TO Irene
caused her was real enough no mat
ter what changes the future might
hold.
For a while after bis aunt's
death Beryl felt safe. Then the
terms on Emma Hofman's will
were made public and she didn't
know what to think. Tommy was
not the heir. His aunt had died
intestate. She'd had a supersti-
tious fear or preparing for death
and 80 her favOrite nephew was
left 10 share her fortune with other
kin. There were several children
OF several brothers and sisters and

Irene told her nothing. Beryl did
not ask questions. II was like the
crisis IN nh illness. She held her
breath and waited. She was IN
certain. Would Irene think OF
Tommy now? Was there a streak
Of ineness in her character deep
under the shallow exterior7
In her generous moments Beryl
hoped this Ia true-and rebelled
against IL In a fash. Irene could
never make Tommy happy. No
matter what be thought. that was
true.

BY setting %precedents in two legal
problems which have been a thorn
In the side Of law enforcement Off
GERS all over the state, Marvin Hall,

the disciples Of Blackstone.
II was the Cameron county attor-

A year ago, the association
boom hit the state. These organiza-
tons were shady affairs but were
Shrewdly put together by legal eN-
perts. State officers made repeated
unsuccessful attempts To pierce their
legal armor. IN most cases. the fed

fore definite action could be secur-
ed.
