This company is being for the commercial development for hte commercial development of the Bndseye Quick-freezing patents on the west coast and Alaska. MT.

 The natives of Nickolsky village have sent in a petition to the Del egate, asking that their fishing rights in Umnak river be restored to them. under the impression that the river has been closed to them for several pears past. Commits sioner of Fisheries Henry O'Malley, who recently returned from an ex- tended trip to the west coast, states that there has been no closure, and that there is nothing to prevent the natives from taking salmon in this river for local food requirements or for use for dog feed. They are not allowed to fish for exportation purposes.

 Duke E. Stubbs in 1924 staked and recorded a tract of land at Park, for fur farming, trade and manufacture. He has lived there ever since, erected buildings and raised fur bearing animals. Last year he sought to purchase the tract, but has not succeeded in doing so yet, because of a technicality. It seems that in 1927 one Logan w. Varnell hap pened along from the outside and made an entry on Dukes land The matter has been taken up with the General Land Office and Varnell has been given 60 days in which to maintain his entry. It is not expected that he can do this as he failed to comply with the necessary requirements, 50 that it is expected MT. Stubbs will soon be allowed to purchase the acreage upon which his farm is located.

power in destructive competition with private companies. The mem- bers of the government corporation to be created would be enabled to build such transmission lines as they saw fit. irrespective of whether privately owned lines now existing were paralleled. and to sell power at any price they saw fit, irrespec- tive of the cost of production.
 "This is a proposal for Govern ment in Business in its worst form. It violates those principles of fair competition upon which our great industrial nation was built. By this measure, the government would be authorized to engage in business on terms which may be disastrous to all those private citizens and taxpayers who are engaged in similar business within a wide radius of Muscle Shoals. It would affect immediately thousands and thousands of persons of moderate means as well as those of larger means who have become stockholders in existing compa nies set up by pioneers of vision and fur nishing power, heat and light at fairly equitable costs. It would affect every single taxpayer in the nation because government oper- alton inevitably would be an opera tion on the private financial re- sources of the individuals in the form of federal appropriations to cover the deficiencies and ineff1cien- cies of government operation. It would be drawing on the funds of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-20

all the people for the benefit of comparatively few. It would be efn- inently unfair competition in many respects. because the government enters into business with numerous overhead costs ignored and unpro- vided. The government makes no allowance for rent or insurance. tt pays no taxes. It sets aside no funds for replacement of worn out or ob- solete facilities. When 1t fails to meet operating costs, 1t uses the simple expedient of making an ap- propriation from the public funds which the taxpayers provide.
 Government operation has sell dom, if ever. been good business. The nation as a whole unquestion- ably is opposed to 1t. The menacing issue that we have before us to-day should be opposed in such unmis- takeable terms as to discourage fu- ture efforts of like nature. The con- ferees should not propose and the congress should not approve. this suggestion for unjustifed govern ment competition with a going in- dustry owned by thousands and thousands of it's taxpaying citizens" "

Another "man hunt in the vicin- fly of Lakewood similar to that of a year ago in connection with the chase for suspects in the murder of Patrolman James McNamee fo Bristol, was staged this morning. There was a repetition of the scene of police cars racing to that sec ton of the city, of rifles being un- sheathed and signals flashing about the city ordered the mobilization of the patrolmen.
 The excitement which almost brought about complete cessation of work by the gang of men inn proving Lakewood park was caused when Superintendent of Police Jo- seph H. Mclean received 8 hurried telephone call stating that dis charged employe armed with a dou- ble-barrel gun had been seen in the vicinity of the place within an hour after being sent home.
 The caretaker, who evidently feared that there would be a shoot ing, asked for protection and he got it.
 Within twenty minutes after the first call the police had "apprehend- ed'' the discharged employe and the gun, but it was only small calibre rife and the youth, who had it was

Trivial penalties slow up the
game and cause the spectators
interest to lag. While they are
about it, they could do away
with the huddIe. That's another
thing which keeps the game

Immediately, certain that his

"AnOther thing that should

genial doctor, should be the

unfair to a good team and re-

The doctor, a middle height
cheerful man, with snow-white

being we'll pleased with the world,
the way it has treated him and
with his fellow men. He is ex'
tremely popular and is widely
known, and has a pleasant word
for all his acquaintanceS.
He helped Glenn Pop" Warner
coach the Carlisle Indians at the
height of their glory, when Jim
Thorpe was on the team. He is
much concerned over Warmers
present illness, he ana Warner
having continued their friendship
following their separation.
Warner was the greatest coach
with whom he has had personal
contact, and he takes great de-
light in recalling many Of the
plays that the great coach de-
vised and put into execution.
Also how some of the celebrated
scoring plays came into exist
ence merely by accident.
He unequivoCally rates Jim
Thorpe as the greatest football
player he has ever seen. He has
had no equals. He could drop
kick, punt, stiffarm, run with
ball, tackle and block better
than any other man ever on a
gridiron.

DR.. Larkin recalls one occasion
when a team informed Thorpe
that they were out to get him"
and Jim told them that if they
kicked off to him he would run
through the whole team for a
touchdown on the first play.
They obliged him and he kept
his word.
The doctor helped coach Cor
nell and Georgetown as well
as Carlisle. Among his HOya
pupils was Costello, whom he
considers a better broken field
runner than De Witt, Of

longer punter. Costello, "OOtch"
