Fear of Treaty Collapse Seen
Behind Britain's Efforts
to Force Americas Hand

Fear of collapse of the sched-

of Nations next February unless
the United States takes a major
interest was believed today to
be behind the efforts of Great
Britain to commit this govern.

In diplomatic circles It was
generally accepted that virtually
every move on the chesSbOard Of
European diplomacy was directed
toward involving the United
States In the world disarmament
problem and to force a more
active participation at Geneva

Secretary of State Stimson thus

This Government always has
been represented by a delegation

conferences and signed the draft

There appears no question that
Stimson will send an official dele

FOODS COOKED IN
 SMALL AMOUNTS USUALLY TASTE BEST
Hills Bros. Coffee Tastes Better Than Other Coffees Because It is Roasted in ' Small Quantities

Food cooked in small quantities has the advantage of exactness. The mixing and the application of heat can be accurately controlled. A three-egg omelet is invariably more tender and fluffy than one made of many eggs.
 Coffee roasted in small quanti- ties has the advantage of exactness too. Hills Bros. discovered the way to roast in small quantities so that every pound is exactly alike = when they invented and patented Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow .. a little at time {. so the uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting - this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously :. c little at q time. Every berry is perfectly done. A matchless flavor results a flavor bulk-roasted coffee can't equalf
 Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, fair tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale. Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

 The cid prospector had found this lode within strikin distance of Blackwater Tanks, and Colorado and Bruce, if that's who he is, must have a danged good notion where it is, else why would Colo rado go into that country this dry time av year an why would he lie to me like he did about where they was goin'?"

Chapter 25 MOTHER MOUNTAIN LODE

"Who is this man, Colorado Bill MT. Harrigan?" asked Pierre What does he look like?'
 Wal, he's a farish big man wid grizzly whiskers all over his face older than ye'd guess and hard as rock, and cold, distrustful kind av an eye. He drifted into Red Butte a few years back-said he was from Colorado and aimed to prospect this country. Everybody calls him Colorado, and nobody ever asked him any questions, which is a handy habit fer some ay us as yourself, I'm thinkin', can testi- fly"
 Pierre ignored the Irishmans hint. T can't imagine how Bruce came to know a man like that. It's funny, if you ask mel"
 Iris right you are, me lad, and there's a lot av things about the whole business that's funny-not excepting yerSelf. Here ye come right out av nowhere, to find a man that nobody knows. who's gone off with somebody that mo- body knows, to somewhere nobody knows where. We've pounded the trail two days, and camped one night, and divil word have ye said to let me know about your self.
 "'Tls all right, av course" said Jimmie. "If it were not that I'm gettin' to like ye, I wouldn't be botherin'n
 For a moment Pierre looked into the older mans eyes, then, with a helpless gesture, turned sadly away. Presently he said: Where is this Mother Mountain? Can we see it from here?"
 The old prospector went to stand beside his young companion, say ing: T may as well be giyin' ye the lay av the land so yell have it clear tomorrow.
 That bunch of funny little round hills away oyer there to the south west is the Biscuit Hills, where my mine is. 'Tis only prospect now. but it will be a mine some day. My camp is one day go from where we are standing. You can see the trail startin' there. That patch av color that looks like a crazy quilt beyond and a little to the south Of the Biscuit Hills, is the Painted Mountains where our friend Colo rado Bill ted me he was takin' MT. Burnes. or Bruce, or whoever he is
 Now. straight north, that blue mountain risin' out of the desert with two rounded peaks like wcman's breast is Mother Noun tain, where yer goin' to find Colo rado Bill and yer man Bruce Car ey. if ye don't meet thim comin' back. Blackwater Tanks is at the fcot av the mountain. As we're lookin twould be right under the hollow between the breasts. From here to the Tanks is day and a half if you don't go too slow. There is always water here at Drippin' Spring and in the Biscuit Hills.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-07-24

Sometimes there is water at tht
 Tanks. And, except fer these three
 places, there is never a drop a'
 water in all this land for many 2
 hot mile.
 From Blackwater Tanks mar
 might go on the far side of Skele-
 ton Peaks two days until he struck
 the road which runs from Rec
 Butte north to Gold Center. Then it would be another day to Gold Center, or two days to Red Butte. But no man in his right mind would ever think av tryin that route widout burros to carry water. Ye can see Skeleton Peaks to the 1 east of Mother Mountain.
 T see" said Pierre.
 Well, between Burnt Hills which I showed you comin' across the mesa from Red Butte to here and them Skeleton Peaks is a low-lyin' bit av country we call Skeleton Sink There's no living thing that's ever gone into that hell-hole an come out alive. Our desert Indians call it the place of the dead.
 There's not enough moisture there to wet the tongue of a horn ed toad"
 As if in mentioning the route Pierre would follow to Mother Mountain he had approached subject upon which he did not wish to dwell, the Irishman turned abruptly and began kindling the campfire.
 But Pierre was caught in the spell of the desert. T can't make it seem real he said in hushed voice. Gee, I wish Father Tony could see thisl"
 Father Tony!" exclaimed the Irishman. Iris a good lad ye are to be wishin' for priest"
 Pierre laughed Father Tony is not priest, MT. Harrigan. He is an actor. call him Father Tony because he has always been like a father to me. You should hear him read All the worlds a stage, and all the men and women mere ly players'!"
 As Pierre spoke with his best stage voice and manner. Harrigan stood up and looked at his com panion with new interecS.
 By Georgel" Pierre exclaimed, that's what is the matter with all this" Pierre's sweeping gesture in- dicated their surroundings. T know now why it's not real to me its because it's only stage set Don't you see, MT. Harrigan?-the set pieces and drop scenes and everything, like a stage scene. And you and I and Bruce and Colorado Bill, we are the actors" His eyes had that look as if he were seeing things his companion could not see, as he said reverently: And mc.har-mother is standing there in the wings
 The desert man turned to pre- pare their supper, but watched his companion with doubtful glances.
 "Av 1t was to guess now about what's none av my business, I would say that ye do be play actor yerself."
 Pierre answered mechanically, T am. That is, was going to be an actor. My mother was an actress. was on the stage with her when was little. She used to stand in the wings when I played my parts. think she does it yet. She died when I was only a boy.
 Mother thought I would be a great actor. thought so too. But now, I'm nothing but a clerk in a soda fountain.p

This Father Tony'S not your real father, you say?" inquired Harrigan, and you have no kin to help you out of this trouble?'
 Father Tony was just a friend of mothers. I haven't seen my father since I was a little chap. I don't even know if he's living. l have nobody but Father Tony-and Ann"
 As if in speaking the name of Ann he had aroused himself, he cried; I've simply got to find Bruce. If can get to him in time everything may come out right yet
 There, me boy. 'Tis no gooc losing yer grip av yerself. Yel find yer man tomorrow or next day. Come now and put yerself out side a good fill av beans and bac- on, wid java to wash it down. 'Tis food thatll make the world look brighter"
 For a while they ate in silence, a: the sun dropped below the distant mountains. The food and tht business of eating restored Pierre to a less emotional state of mine and presently he asked: What dt you think Colorado and Bruce art looking for, Mir Harrigan?" 1 "Tis mortal sure I am tha Il they're lookin' for the lost Mothel Mountain lode"
 1 What is it they are looking Ifor?"
 | An have ye never heard tell al l the lost lode of Mother Mountain? 1 But what is this lode-a loat of what?"
 I Again the Irishman laughed.
 will you listen to that-your ig norance, me lad is as amazin' Il it is ridiculous. This lost Mothe Mountain lode is a big vein o gold somewhere in Mother Noun tain. Nobody knows where it is though many, includin' myself, ha, had a try fer to find it. The req son it's lost is because the pros pector who discovered it got him self lost in Skeleton Sink.

Luciano SantOrO Wins Action Against Jacob
 Kleinberger

Luciano Santoro of this city is awarded damages of $2,526.33 in his $10.000 civil action against Jacob Kleinberger, in a decision handed down in the superior court to-day by Judge John Richards Booth. Trial of the action took place in court here several weeks ago when Judge Booth reserved de- cision.
 The action is based on a note transaction arising from transfer of property in which the plaintiff and defendants were involved. Accord ing to the evidence, the plaintiff conveyed, on June 17, 1925, cer- tain piece of property on Spring street to the defendant. The de- fendant agreed to assume the pay ment of a $6,500 mortgage, secur- ing note of like amount to Jeannette E. Colwell. Tn 1927 the property was conveyed to Maurice A. Gruskay. On June 3, 1925. the plaintiff gave a mortgage of $19.- 900 to the Lomas 6 Nettleton Co.,, the payment of which the defen- dant agreed to assume, according to the suit. When the property was conveyed to Gruskay, it was alleged that the said Gruskay did not as- sume the payment of the mortgage. The Lomas & Nettleton mortgage was foreclosed later and an action to foreclose against the plaintiff on. the $6,500 mortgage has been start ed in the common pleas court.
 The plaintiff charged that the mortgage should have been paid by the defendant and asked for $10,- 000 damages. Attorney Francis P. Guilfoile represented the plaintiff.

WATERWAY MEN DISCUSS HUGE
 US. BOND ISSUE

Washington Whether the United States government should float a $500,000,00O bond issue for tremendous program of port and waterway expansion is one of the questions to be threshed out here December and g, at the 27th an. nual convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress.
 Invitations to the congress have been sent to civic leaders all over the country.
 The announcement of the con- gress indicates there will be a fight on the railroads for their al- legged advocacy O Illuminating wa terways traffic.
 Prospective delegates were told that no past session of the con- gress "has faced questions larger in number, greater in importance, or more certain to provoke lively discussion, than those which will be up for consideration and ac- ton" this time.
 The congress secretariat posed two questions to be considered:
 ONE. Should the convention advocate the passage of another rivers and harbors bill at the conn ing session of congress?
 TWO. Should the convention accept the figure of the Budget Bureau. ask for larger appropria. tions. or advocate a $500.00O.OoO bond issue to insure the early completion of all adopted projects.
 Congress last year passed a riv- CTS and harbors bill authorizing ex- penditure of $146.000.000 imme- diately and of $350,000.OO Oto $400,000,000 ultimately. It ap- proved IFS projects and authorized surveys of 3S0 more.
