RESIDENT, FRANK sTRAUB|NGER,
 DIED MONDAY NIGHT

Death removed another well
 known and veteran citizen ot this
 area when Frank Straubinger was gathered into the Fold last eve
 ming at about 9:15. Cancer in the head brought his death.
 Mir. Straubinger, who was be-
 tween the age of 55 and 60 and of Swiss extraction, had been Suf- fering from cancer in an eye for years, and about year ago went to Portland, Ore, for special treatment It appears the growth had made such an inrOad that little hope was held for recovery. He returned to his Northern home resigned to meet his Maker with the same courage which he has displayed all through his 25 or 30 years reSidency on the beautiful shores of Lake Kenai, where he had a wilderness home, and also caDln Tn Seward.
 Mostly during the summers, he worked on railroad section crews and in the winter, ran a trap line. As far as could be learned today, there are no known relatives to his passing. But he leaves a host of good friends in Seward and throughout this district who will sincerely miss the fine old timer.
 The desires of his friends will i Seward Undertaking ward Undertaking Parlor, expects to be able to an- ] aounce full burial particulars We'd nesday.

ALASKA BANNERS GAME SPORTS

Two years ago on the barren hills the south end of Kodiak Island there about 25 caribou belong- ing to the government The animals herded by na- tive residents who are allowed to sell specified number each year compensation for their services
 During the summertime they find a ready market at the Alaska Packers and Pacific American Fisheries canneries at Olga Bay and Alltak
 The meat is delicious tender and appetzlng, and IS eaten with gusto The herd now numbers $50 animals and the canneries in that would like nothing better than to purchase considerable more, each year.
 The south end of that island is barren of all shrub berv but the superintendent of the Alaska Packers As sociation plant in Olga Bay, c. Mathews is trying experiment; he is attempting to make 1t look like the north end which in very places covered by forests of spruce and hemlock
 On his trip north last spring he brought from Wran ge 100 young spruce and hemock trees and has plant ed them on the canney grounds and in the various ra vines leading to the beach. The young sapngs have taken kindly to their location and the rich SOIL New branches are forming and each little tree looks as fresh and green as though it trying to become glant in it's own native land.
 Mention of these two tems are made for one pur- only: In endeavor to convey to the general pub lie the constructive work which has always been carried forward by the Alaska fish packing interests For years past Aaskans have been lending altogether too atten- tive an ear lot of irresponsible political lyhoo which painted all cannely people in very mfavorable image. &5 &IssAh
 In the face of the present panic, the Alaska can neres have carried forward without fear without wage cutting; it will require two years more of successful packing before they from the losses ss tained in 1929 and 193O But you don't hear them cry ing about it.

By EUGENE SHELTER

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Charles G..

financier, and musician, has as
sumed a new role as literary
critic and devastating foe Of
Shavianism.
Distinguished Londoners ar"
still gasping over the Ambassa-
doris blunt words to George Ber-
nard Shaw, most talkative Of
British literary lights.
Dawes, Shaw, Aga Khan, the
Indian potentate, and a number
of prominent members of the
diplomatic set met at recent
reception. They sat down before
fire to smoke and talk.
Shaw, with his usual witty
insouciance, began denunciation
of capitalistic society. He held
his hearers spellbound for a half
hour. AS Shaw paused. for
breath to survey his effect, Dawes
stirred in his chair. Drawing
out his famous underslung pipe,
the Ambassador pounded it on
a nearby table, telling Shaw:
"It's about time you stopped
this paradOxical, half-baked So
cialistic nonsense of yours. You
are misleading youth. You are
filling their heads with ideas
which / don't think you half
mean Yourself"

 MOURNING FOR
 DEAD DAUGHTER

Under a Portland, Oregon, date line, the following article appears in papers saying: A small, drab- colored house here shelters the family of Agnes Leroy whose muti- lated body was found in a trunk in Los Angeles.
 Before a stove in the tiny dining room the murdered girls mother sits on stool and breathes long, dry sobs. Her dark head is buried in her hands and she does not look up when the front door opens and shuts and the telephone rings.
 The girls father-a bowed, gray man-walks about the room. He speaks, answers questions, but his look is far away. He has not re- moved his hat. Apparently he was just ready to leave the house when the family heard the ghastly news.

 Miss Halvorsen gives personal supervision and attention to the fitting and alteration departments. No less effort is exercised in re- taining customers than in obtain ing them.
 The establishment carries com plete lines of womens ready-to- wear apparel. These lines include coats, dresses, blouses, Gossard ana Royal Worchester foundation gar ments, lingerie, hosiery; knit suits skirts and sweaters; scarfs ln chl1- ion and flat crepe, millinery and a varied assortment of accessories ln- cluding gloves, purses, parasols and costume jewelry

 His employees at the Halloran- Bennett Lumber Company said Halloran often found opportuni- ties to make light jobs" about the place so he could help tubercu- lars unable to do heavy work and needing money.
 "As to the quarrel over my kiss ing the girls, there could have been none, for there was no reason for it. Yet I may have kissed them"
 Famed by Kiss
 In another special article it is said that the ghastly double -mur- der of Mrs. Leroy and Miss Sam uelson was famed into being by a kiss.
 The theory was advanced by the Phoenix authorities after Halloran had told story that emphasized the jealousy motive for the killing.
 Drank With Mrs. Judd
 Halloran declared under ques- tioning by Deputy District Attor- ney G. A. Rodgers, that he first went to Mrs. Judd's house and had several drinks, after that he &C., companied her to the apartment occupied by Mrs. Leroy and Miss Samuelson.
 The party was noisy, the lumber man said, and continued until the early hours of the next morning.
