SEARCH BEC|NS IN YUKON VALLEY FOR
 FLYING MINER
TROUBLE OF SOME KIND HAS OVERTAKEN WELL KNOWN
 INFERIOR AVIATOR

FAIRBANKS, Mar, 18, R)- Pilot Art Hines and Game War den Sam White are planning to hop of in the morning to search the upper Yukon Valley for Fred Moller, independent aviator, who is unreported at three points for which he was bound when he took off March g.
 Fears for MolIer's safety are in- creasing hourly following the Cir cle message saying plane was heard headed in the direction of Charley River, last week. There has been nc report since then.
 Moller should have landed at one of the Yukon River commun- ities in a short time from then.
 Trouble of some kind most certainly must have overtaken him unless he decided to contin- ue direct to the Kobuk country where he is interested in mining. This, however, is slim possibil- ity as he had a cargo for Eagle.

The billboard interests had strong
support in the House of Delegates at
the last session and it Is expected that
considerable support for this type OF
business will be found there during the
coming session. Reid, however, will
have the support Of the garden clubs
and kindred organizations who are
striving to eliminate the billboards
altogether
There have been several possible
sources of new taxation suggested al
ready. Among these are cosmetics,
moving picture admissions soft drinks,
tobacco and other so-called luXurieS.
Reid states that he is not in favor of
such taxes. as he considers them

Another reason for Directing to
them, he declares, is that they would
work an especial hardship on the local
merchants because of their close prox-
unity to Washington. These taxes, he
says, wcU.d naturally be added to the
price of merchandise and drive bust

otherwise would remain here. Taxes
should be levied in a manner to pre-
vent their interference with business,
he thinks.

Already Thorvick was getting used to
the realization that he was free to talk

reminding himself of 1t. The awful
grip of prison silence still had It's hold
on him.
Little Movement Of Lips.
He talked fiuently enough, but with
very little movement of his lips. That
was one mark Of the prison inmate, who
learns that trick to fool the ever
watchful guards.
Thorvick is a Norwegian immigrant.
He did great deal Of reading in prison.
Some times there wasn't a great deal
to read in the newspapers he was per-
mitted to see, because the prison au-
thorities cut out everything that had
the slightest bearing on crime or prison
disturbances.
Lots of times my weekly papers
wouldn't have anything but the we'd
ding licenses. the death lists and the
church announcements" he said. But
I read all that, and the ads"
He chuckled when he told Of that
clipping Of his papers and magazines.
He, and all the other inmates, knew
all about the Columbus Prison fire and
the prison riots of a year or two ago
almost as soon as did the persons who
got their newspapers intact.
I'm prison." he said, such news
spreads like that" With both hands
he made gesture denoting q wide and
rapid scattering.
And how does it feel to be free
again?" was the obvious question put to
him.

He told how, that first day out of
prison, he let five street cars go by be-
fore he mustered courage enough to get
on. He was afraid Of people, and even
among friends he scarcely had the
courage to speak when any one was
watching him.

"You need 1t more than I do, Louis"
Kinkead said.
Just before leaving prison, Thorvick
