 The Nazis claim that the reason for the organization originally was the necessity of guarding against communist raids on their meetings.
 It is worth noting that Hitler in 1923---the year of his unsuccessful beer cellar" Putsch--had planned to convert the organization into a military force to resist the French In the Ruhr. That it's members eventually except to become armed police is indicated by taunts aimed at regular police during demonstra- tions. such as I've will have your jobs soon; we will be doing the po- licing."

 A secret Nazi "order of the day" was seized when police at Schnei- demuehl, near the German-P Polish frontier, raided the local storm di- vision and arrested 26 men. An extract from the order follows.
 "The struggle for power has en- tered on another stage. Conditions compel a decision. The call to for the charge will soon be sounded for the last time. This winter the storm divisions will be put through the training necessary to render them capable of accom- plishing the coming tasks"
 Similar orders by Nazi leaders were discovered recently at Baden, Hesse and Anhalt. The arrested Nazis will be tried on conspiracy charges and infraction of the de- cree against wearing uniforms.

Holiday Season In Market To-day And
 Trading Was Light

ing idle for long periods of time so quiet was the turnover. Changes were fractional and merely repre- scented the usual .year-end evening up operations that will be felt to an increasing extent until after the end of the year.
 Tax selling continued in a num- Der of leaders but was generally offset by extensive short covering by traders desirous of being out of the market over the holidays. New buying was at a minimum as in- vestors waited for signs of some de- finite upturn in the general list. The recent advance was regarded with scepticism and few traders are willing to step In until they can see signs of definite revival.

Chairman Shoot Was Victim Of Joke By
 Senator Johnson

Washington, Dec 22-UP)-The senate rocked with laughter to-day at a joke Senator Johnson, repub- lican, Calf. played upon Chairman Shoot of the senate finance com mittee during debate on the mora torium.
 Johnson obtained Shoots un- qualified endorsement of Johnsons s own position by pretending he was reading from a statement by Presi- dent Hoover.
 The Californian's opposition to the moratorium was based on the contention that MT Hoover was re- quired to alter his original propo- sition because of objections from

 Do you not endorse that?" ask ed Johnson of Shoot.
 That is the only thing the presi- dent could have said at that time," Shoot replied.

the days of the Morse operator
and his aides. Trails were sue
ceeded by roads and the automo-
bile replaced the sleds drawn by
the horse and dog. Radio was sub
stituted for the iron wire. The
smaller stations were shut down
and the men who had become
Alaskans during their life moved
on to other climes.
Restored to Entry
For years now the stations have
been closed and the right of way
reclaimed by the new wilderness
growth. Still, the land belonged
to the Army, held under reserve
orders for military uses, long since
wipsd out by modern developments
and science. Now it is to be re-
stored to the public domain, and
the improvements on it permitted
to pass into private ownership for
consideration.
1t is not expected the Govern
mant will realize much from this
source-not enough to reduce the
national deficit this year. Long
ago buildings have decayed, wire
rusted and cleared right of way
grown over with brush. Improve
ments that were have vanished.
And the reservation now resembles
its wilderness neighbor which can
be taken up without cost.
Nature long ago took steps to
reclaim its own. But the Govern

GUIDE
DOESN'T TRUST
BROWN BEARS
F. A. Henton Says Kodiak
Is Garden Spot of
North Pacific

Although Fred A. Henton, Kodiak
Island guide and explorer, never
shoots any of the world famous
brown bears of his homeland, he
sometimes wishes the bears were
always in the same frame of mind
about this conflict business.
You know that the Kodiak
brown bear is the largest member
of the bruin family" Henton saio
recently to the Seattle Times. And
while most of these bears are good
natured enough to run away, occa-
sionally you encounter a bad-tem-
pered one.
Il recall a recent incident in
which it was fortunate for me
that the bear belonged to the more
sociable group. 1 was riding up a
deep ravine, when my horse sud-
denly snorted and strained back
wards. Just five feet ahead of me
in the brush, an enormous bear
reared up on his hind legs. He
was considerate enough to take to
flight.
Besides its allure for the big
game hunter, Kodiak should have
great interest for the archaeologist, -
continued the explorer. Il myself
stumbled upon the remains of four
prehistoric villages, the summer
before last"
Discovered Skeletons
Under layer of volcanic ash
I discovered many well preserved
human skeletons, together with
stone implements, pottery and
hieroglyphics carved in solid gran
lite. These were still in the same
position as they were when some
ancient volcanic eruption over
took them"
Henton was with Stefansson on
that explorers 1918 expedition and
accompanied the aviators Dorbrandt
and Cope on the first flight over
Kodiak. After visiting in Seattle
during the winter months, he will
return to the garden spot of the
North Pacific" in the spring.

said, was made up largely from
his memory of what had happened
at the trial and from newspaper
records.
Sister Raises Money
He had intended to use this in
seeking to get another trial, but
about September l, according to
the petition, he received 5000 from
a sister of Mcdonald, residing in
Bellingham, and with this he in
duced the court reporter to furnish
him with transcript of the cts
timony in the trial on which to
base an amended bill of exceptions.
There was balance of some
5000 due on the transcript and
GrigSby guaranteed, personally
the payment of this sum. The
5000 was raised by a mortgage on
the home of McDonald's sister.
At the time the bill of excep-
tons was filed in July 81, Mr..
Grigsby said, he had informed the
court that the bill was inaccurate,
since it was prepared from memory
and abbreviated newspaper stories
and because h chad been unable to
obtain a record transcript, and that
he hoped to obtain the transcript
of the testimony and thus be able
to amend the bill. He obtained the
transcript on September 10 and
endeavored on the same day to
have a time fixed for settling the
bill of exceptions but was unsuc-
cessful. But on showing that it was
necessary for him to be absent
from town, Mr.. Grigsby obtained
an extention of time to docket the
appeal to November Is.
Is Without Jurisdiction
On September 20, having return
ed here, Mr. Grigsby again pc
titioned the court to set a time
for fixing the bill of particulars,
and Judge Harding set October 3.
On that day, an objection by the
United States that the court was
without jurisdiction the matter
was interposed by Judge Harding,
and the matter was taken under
adviSement. Early in November,
he ruled that he had no jurisdic-
ton and refused to sign' the bill
of exceptions.
In the meantime Judge Harding
had extended the time for docket
ing the appeal to December 10.
The docket entry was made on
December 4, without any bill of
exceptions. The petition is aimed
to a mandamus requiring Judge
Harding to sign the bill of par
ticulars.

Nome was lusty camp, and between
was the Koyukuk, Ruby, and other
smaller communities. To serve
tnam, wires were strung between
1anana and St. Michael. These
were the main lines of the Army's
system of communications.
The old Ketchumstock line was
abandoned after the Valdez Fair.
hanks-Ft. Gibbon connection was
established. Radio gave the upper
Yukon at Fort Egbert and Circle
City its contact with the outer
world. And the same invention
linked the rich beach diggings at
Nome with the outside world

Fairbanks and Valdez.
In its heydey, it was a real tele-
graph system. Many operators were
required to keep the stations open
and traffic moving Linemen, con-
struction crews, doughboys, all were
called into play.
Radio Writes Finis
But radio eventually wrote fms
into the system. First the Ket-
ChumStock line was given back to
the wilderness folk. Indians and
trappers appropriated the wire after
it was no longer useful for COM
munications.
A story is told of the origin of
the word Ketchumstock viii C h,
though not authenticated, gives
some idea of the use made of the
wire. A portion of the line ran
through the heart of the caribou
range. The Indians, having no
fire arms had to use primitive
methods to take animals for their
meat supply. Along one section of
the line they erected pole fences
and left openings at irregular
intervals. At these breaks in the
fences, they erected poles from
which was suspended wire taken
from the telegraph line. 1t was
made fast to the poles and noosed
at the free end Then the tribe
organized a caribou drive. The
animals stampeded across the
plateau and, encountering the pole
fences, drifted along them until
they came to the openings. The
noOSed wires swinging over these
trapped many animals.
Attracts Star Operators
After the Ketchumstock line was
abandoned and the upper Yukon
was served through wireless sta
tons at Fort Egbert and Circle
the land telegraph line between
Valdez and ST. Michael was the
mecca for operators and linesmel
of the United States Signal Corps
Some of the finest Morse operators
in the world served at stations
on the system. And their work
was not confined to handling traf-
fic. Often they enacted the role
of physician or nurse to ailing
humanity, and many an Indian
was treated for ailments ranging
from simple constipation to sick
ness that would have taxed a skill
full physician.

tation facilities combined to end

TASTELESS PEAS
Their Appealing Flavor Can
Be Restored by Adding
Sugar

Green peas, fresh-picked, are a
delicious and important food. How
ever, when they are taken off the
vines they begin to lose their flavor
and distinctive sweetness.
It is a good rule whenever you
serve peas to add "a dash of sugar
to pinch of salt" as they cook. The
salt overcomes flatness and the
sugar restores the natural sweet
ness which has been lost. This COM
bination of sugar and salt produces
equally delicious results in the cook
ing of most vegetables whether
canned or fresh.
Many cooks keep a mixture of
sugar and salt within reach. Some
use two parts sugar to one part salt
some, equal parts. Either combi-
nation is splendid for seasoning
meats and stews and also in the
making of salad dressings. Flavor
and season with sugar. The Sugar
