BEER BILL PROVIDES FOR ALASKA

The Valdez Miner, in a recent editorial com menting on the outlook for legal beer advises it's readers not to permit their thirsts to become too greatly whetted for that beverage inasmuch as they will have to confne their imbbinb to the home brewed article unless and until the Alaska Bone Dry Law is repealed Apparently a large number of Alaskans are of the opinion on this ques- tion
 However this is a misconcepton. If Congress passes the beer b and it should become law either with or without the Presidents approval, Alaska will have it's brew, legally, just as soon as it can be manufactured shipped into the Territory We owe Delegate wckersham for making this certain Origin ally as introduced by Chairman Collier of the House Ways and Means Committee, its author, the bill did not include Alaska Learning of this the Dele gate appeared at one of the hearings and requested that the measure be amended that his own con- stituents might have access more to their old favorites - Pabst Schiltz Anheuser-Busch - or of some lesser known but equally invigorating brand manufactured right here in the Territory The Deegate at the Committees request, submitted such an amendment and, although his exact language was not adopted, the idea incorporated into the measure and was retained when it was passed by visions of the Collier Beer Bill anyhow. The bill de- the House Therefore unless the Senate takes 1t away from us, Alaskans will at least be on par with the rest of the country for the duration of the beer era.
 But Alaska would probably come within the pro- cares the sort of beer that permits to be manu- factured and sold is not intoxicating. The Alaska Bone Dry Law prohibits intoxicating" liquor. The Collier Bill beer would take the same rating as soft drinks and it's sale would be permitted any, where in the country.
 However, the Territory will not bo so fortunate in the matter of Prohibition repeal Even though every State in the Union should ratify resolution repeating the Eighteenth Amendment, we would still drink illicit liquor until the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law by Congress. The Delegate, who wrote that act possibly sensing the great evil there by inflicted upon the northland has strongly urged the present Congress to repeal it. so far without success. He obtained hearing last Spring on the he introduced to that end but, when he found the committees report would be adverse, did not press for report preferring to let it to the December session when he hoped to get the hearing re-opened. Apparently there has been no progress made and, if Congress legalizes beer and wine we shall have to be content to use moon shine" for a spike at least for the time being.

What the Future Holds.
Seward GateWay.)

(SeWard GateWay)
 When President Hoover was asked, as mining engineer the possibilities of Soviet Russia in point lof mining, he replied:
 There is more mineral in the State of Montana.
 And yet Montana has been mined since the early seventies
 It was believed for time that Montanas min- ing resources centered first in the Alder Gulch and finally in Butte the great copper camp.
 For many years the Alaska Treadwell con sdered all that the Territory had to offer in gold Then came the Klondike and the successive placer finds which swung attention away from lode mining to the more easily extraced placers.
 But it remained for Frederick Worthen Bradley assisted by his brother Philip and L. H. Metzgar engineers and General Superintendent respectively to bring in the wonder mine, the Alaska Juneau Kennecott overshadowed anything known in the copper world a magic mine.
 Doubling Thomases for Is years scoffed at Will low Creek It is predicted that from 400 to 500 men will be employed there next summer and the men lwho 10 years ago laughed to the patient and poverty stricken prospector cultivating him and trying to sell him goods In fact Willow Creek lis the greatest resource back of Anchorage and already has made this fact manifest in the spirited growth of that city within the past year.
 There are the same doubting Thomases scoffing at Nuka Bay It would be difficult to determine the cause of this state of mind; maybe it is that lack of vision possessed by non-analytical minds But Nuka Bay is the bright thing on the horizon which guarantees Seward place in the The prospectors in Nuka Bay deserve encour- agement, and praise is too high for those who have battled away small means and at great sacrifice to finally bring it's treasures to light
 These the who build nation; others simply follow after.
 The Bradleys built the Alaska Juneau by solving problem not only enriching the owners but which contributes greater values to the art of metal lurgy They proved that hitherto believed worthless lgangue matter could be made to yield millions
 It will require science well money and labor to finally elevate lode mining to its proper position. No inviting field offers than the Icoastline between Cape Resurrection and Two Arm Bay It has the geological structure the rich sur face veins and only requires development to possibly produce another Alaska Juneau.

1882 EXCELLENT IN ONE RESPECT.

Perhaps the most common New Year comment with which 1883 was greeted to the effect that i've are glad 1932 is over" And most people did have reason to be joyful that it was ended. Gen. erally, it a gloomy, joyless 12-month period.
 But after all it had it's bright spots. This is brought out by the yearly report of the National Safety Council covering the years record of auto mobile traffic casualties It revealed that there were 13 per cent fewer persons killed in automobile accidents in 1892 than in the year previous. The number of total fatalities for the year was 29,000, the lowest toll since 1928 when 27996 deaths were reported. Less traffic and more effective safety efforts were assigned the major factors in the 1892 improvement.
 Several of the larger cities reported reductions considerably more than the average for the Nation a whole Pittsburgh reported 29 per cent. de- crease; Baltimore drop of 2l per cent; Cleve- land IT per cent; the State of Indiana g per cent; and Wisconsin, IT per cent
 While the downward trend is matter for grati- ficaton to the country, the death list of 290o0 proves that we haven't yet arrived at the point where regard the matter with any save pro- found dissatisfaction. There is still much to be done in the way of strengthening out muddled traf- fic laws and regulations establishing proper control systems and curbing reckless drivers. Automobile accidents are still all too occurrences for comfort to either pedestrians autoists.

Going Up Higher.
(New York Times.)

Franklin D. Roosevelt adds his name to the distinguished list of men to whom the Governorship of New York has been a steppingstone to the Pres- dency of the United States. None of them more worthily earned the recognition and reward Going to Albany in 1929 against his will, he has not only made gallant and accomplishing fight against the physical handicap which he thought should excuse him from the contest of 1928, but has been un- commonly hard-working and conscientious Governor, apparently losing himself in the affairs and welfare of the people of this State totus in is After this demonstration of his Executive ability, with his Ihighbred personal appeal all the time in evidence, it was natural that politicians all the country began to take note of the eligibility of this of the Empire State for higher office. To it he will bear the confidence and the pride of the people of this Commonwealth, before whom he has gone in and out for four years and for whose well-beng he has spared neither time nor labor. New York hopefully gives Governor Roosevelt to the Nation

CHAPTER g. BATTING BARBARA

Barbara re-arranged the fire kneeling before it to hide the color that swept her face, then re- sumed her seat.
 She knew better than to chatter to Mark but his hard stare dis composed her and she picked up sheet of drawings from the floor and began to examine them. She was bending over the third before she realized that he had possibly left them on the floor on pur- pose.
 They were in pencil and they were brutal. They followed the fortunes of a man and a girl-a lame man and a girl with plod- ding, pleasant soul They showed the lame man cooking a meager dinner while she, tall, square, and frowning, battled with her ledgers.
 Or he-in a boudoir cap-wept while she glowered, three small coins upon the table between them. Or he sat, his shoulders timidly hunched, winding yarn, his lame leg propped up to hold the skein clear; and she tinkered at some bookshelves against the wall.
 Barbara, cold by the cracking log, closed her eyes. Often, with Mark, one had to close ones eyes for a moment and tumble back for things-beliefs, VOWS, endur- ances. ff
 They came in the form of pie lures. MT. Lodely, coming through the garden to turn Marks tear stained, sulky face to his; MT. Lodely relinquishing him and layl ing his hand on her curls. ,,,, Sei
 "Babs, I want you to promise something. I've got to go away. Until I come back, take care of Mark Take good care of him, Babs." And then, three minutes later, the sound of the shot.
 And then there was her own mother, fading gently out of life before her husband had been a full year in his grave. Never forget that it's dignified to earn and mean just to take. planned, you know, to keep little shop. Perhaps when you're a groWn-up, girl, my baby, you'll like to keep a little shop"
 This is naughty of you, Mark ? she protested tranquilly And it's brilliant. You're always most brilliant when you're most un- kind"
 "It's not unkindness, it's the cry of the sensitive spirit" He tlicked cigarette in the direction of the grate. It was not eXtinguished and she was obliged to get up and put 1t into the fire or it would have burned a hole in the hearth- rug.
 Judy has been telling me that I'm too sensitive" he went on, 50 I must be; Am I, Barbara?"
 Not about stupid, conventional things" she said cautiously. (So often, in this kind of conversa- tion, one helped to dig a pit for oneself)
 Not about stupid, conventional things" echoed Mark in tones of admiration. And how stupid the conventions can be only free, jolly Bohemian soul like our Bar bara can ever know. Now I come to think of it, we shall be lowing to a very stupid convention next Thursday. Let's cut it out and keep house together under the bulging clerical eyes of Toxeter. But no-I forgot! 1t would be bad for business!"
 Barbara was still determinedly smiling.

Life Teens for Her.
(NeW York TimeS.)


 One only wish that American writers who specialize in the fatnesS and thnness of American life had a touch of the gift that seems to have fallen generously to Mrs Ethelreda Lewis. She will be remembered the dscoverer and collab- orator of the late Trader Horn"
 It now appears that Mrs. Lewis has another chronicle of extraordinary life to give to the world This time it is of Russian Jew born in Odessa who exhibited the mixture of regrettabe and santy habits which associate with the name of Karamazov, and who at the age of 63 was wounded in the Battle of Ypres
 Mrs Lewis has agreed to write this mans life after turning down less than eighty-three re- quests to write the story of other adventurous careers Yet for dozen years more, in this United States of 12oO000OO people and perhaps 10000000 business men, the novelists could find nothing but stuffed shirts to write about

 He had half-riSen and flung out Ia hand, but she could not go to him yet. A moment-give her a moment-she sensed that he had flung away the black mood, he would be charming now, gentle perceptive, immensely appealing. A moment and she would be able to take his hand.
 Barbara, don't shut your face up like that. Don't lock me out of your eyes like that! I won't be a beast any more. I'm damned sor- ry-"
 In moment, in moment! When hurt goes deep, one must beg just moment
 Barbara, come over here!"
 She turned stiffly, still not look ing at him. She would have gone to him, of course, but at that moment the door opened and Mrs. Lodely came in, followed by the man who had pulled her back on to the pavement in the Yard Mar ket.

Lore Of Gems.

The Turquoise.
//IF YOU look at the image Of the

quoise, you will escape evil and
i will have good fortune"
Those words present . belief
held in Persia, where the gem known
as the turquoise has been called "the
national stone"
I tell you what the Persians say, but
It does not mean that trust their
words. On the contrary, can see no
sound reason to look upon precious
stones as having any mystic power" "
for good or for evil.
People have quarreled about the
ownership of gems, and their quarrels
have brought harm; but that Is a diff
ferent matter. Greed can cause i'll for
tune through quarrels over land or gold,
as well as over jewels.
The turquoise obtained its name
through the use Of old French words
meaning Turkish gem" During early
days people in Europe obtained the gem
through trade with the Turks; but the
fact Is that Persia, more than Turkey,
has been the homeland Of the turquoise.
Miners in Persia, even to this day, go
down into the ground to cut into rock
and locate veins containing this stone.
The blue, green or blue green color
of the turquoise comes from bits Of
copper in the stone. To wash the gem
in soapy water is likely to change its
color and to lower its value.
The Persian type Of turquoise is Of
highest value, but Palestine, Arabia,
Australia, Mexico and the Southwestern
part of the United States also have
