Boom for Vice Presidency
Sufficient to Start Buzz

washington political circles buzzed to-
day over the possible political future Of

 The Empire argues "yes," and supports the policy of the For est Department. The trouble is this-that the logging and saw mill situation has been steadily growing worse under this poli- cy. This is true to such an ex- tent that the independent log ger must quit logging for there is no market in Alaska for their logs. If this is what the Empire wants, then we concede the ar eument.

The precious thoughts of Mothers

And yet, so patient, kind;
A monitor. a friend most dear
In him I'd always find.
Whate'er the stress of life may be,
He'll face it's stormy tide,
And we expect that, somehow he
Will everything provide.
We do not know, we cannot see
The load he often bears.
A king, yet it may often be
A thorny crown he wears.
The burden of our lives in his
He never seems to mind.
No matter what the problem is,
Some answer he will find.
We often grieved with hayward
deeds,
Then he was tired and sad,
But he supplied our many needs
For he was only Dad.
To make for him some marked
display
Has never been the fad,
But, when we honor Mothers Day,
Let's also think of Dad.

the whale" is the w~ise-cracking
reply.
Not New Venture
1t is not the first gold rush that
Scobey people have witnessed.
Back in 1920 there was one at the
Kahle farm near Scobey. Humid
reds of claims were staked.
Congressman Scott Leavitt Wis
tied the scene with some Scobey
friends Wednesday. Il don't know
anything about gold fields or gold
mining" he informed the Leader,
but this one has some peculiar
aspects"
An old prospector flew down
from northern Canada when he
heard about the rush over the ra-
dio. He diligently prospected the
locations as far as the lake. 81
never prospected where there
were fewer indications of gold"
he said, sin fact l found no indi-
cations whatever"
But the Lei corporation is do
ing a hourishing business. There
are rumors of assay reports which
show samples of pay dirt running
$240 to the ton. There are rumors
that only the reports on the poor
est samples are being shown to
prospective investors in the Lei
corporation promoting the ven
ture.
There is nothing that will lure
man, excite him into feverish ac-
ton and make him part with real
coin of the realm, like the lure OF
raw gold for the finding.
And the f~everish rush to the
fields north of Scobey has not SUBJ
sided to any noticeable extent.
A squadron of mounted police
have been detailed TO the scene to
keep order. The provincial gov
eminent sent a recorder to Coron-
ach where p%rospectors may record
their claims at SIS each.

ming the Wolves displayed plenty
of hitting strength that was com
pletely stilled in the latter stages
OF the game. They banged plenty
of balls down both base lines that
were unreliable and according to
the umpire, all OF them were fair.
Three more runs on solid blows
in the fourth gave the Wolves their
margin of points and neither team
scored again during the game, al
though Bainville threatened once
or twice to snap out OF the spell
that Garfield wove around their
bats. This Garfield had a great
day for his pitches foated up to
the plate and looked as if they just
wanted to be knocked out of the
lot, but an inielder was in front
of every blow. Bainville never hit
over four balls to the outfield dur
ing the entire game-most of
them were rolling down to the
second and third baseman for
easy put outs.
