Only q Prospector's Dog, but
 He Remains Faithful to His
 Masters sMemory;That'sD Dick

Wistful and alone, the "prospec- tors dog" whose real name Is Dick, has walked the streets of Juneau for the last four years, studying the people he passed and invariably meeting each plane ar irving at the hangar from the first trip of the spring until the last of the fall.
 The plane is in some way mixed up in his mind with the last days of Tom Wilson, old time pros pector, who raised Dick from a small black puppy-and in his faithful dog manner, it is possible Dick is still hopeful that some day the plane will arrive and his maoser will step out.
 Leaves on Last Trip
 In 1929 Tom Wilson left Juneau on the Alaska Washington Airways seaplane for a lake near the Can adian border with his partner and his constant companion, Dick, who was taken along in spite of the fact that his additional weight meant that certain of the proviS- ions for the month had to be left behind. T always take him with me-" Tom Wilson explained They were left at the lake to prospect with the agreement that the sea- plane would return in 30 days to pick them up.
 But when the plane returned only the partner and Dick were found alive. Tom Wilson had died of heart trouble several days after they made their camp. Some of the provisions, cached by him, could not be located by the partner and food had been scarce for both the man and the dog remaining. Dick did net leave his masters side even when the plane returned without force, sand the expression of puzzled sadness has never left his eyes.
 Is Adopted
 Lloyd Jarman, who was in the hangar when the seaplane arrived with the gaunt, ownerless dog took him home and tried in vain to feed the animal. T finally wor him to eat with a bowl of chicker broth" Mrs. Jarman, Lloyd's moth CT, said But it was several days before he would touch food. He has certain places where he useo to call for food when his master was alive, and he still calls al them regularly. He seems devoted to Lloyd, and is never far from him now, though Dick is really rather an old tramp"

Doesn't Invite Pats

Those who know the slender black dogs history wonder if he is really a tramp, or if he expects on one of his solitary walks around the town to suddenly encounter the man to whom he was devoted for so long, whom he left unwill- ingly on the hillside, above that lonely lake, four years ago.
 Dick, while not at all ugly or vicious, does not invite pats on the head by strangers and has none of the 'abject friendlinsss of the average stray, but, instead, an aloof dignity and nearly human, brown eyes.
 Like most stories, that of Dick has happy ending, for he has a home where he is welcomed and loved. T told Lloyd he couldn't have that bony, mangy looking dog around when he first brought him home, but now we wouldn't part with him for anything. think he is the finest dog ever," Mrs. Jar man said
 Dick repays their kindness by being faithful, and is an excellent retriever. He shows real interest in life when he sees anyone with a gun and thinks he may go hunt ing" she continued.
 Catches Fish
 During the lone watches at the hangar, and when he has spent time there with Lloyd Jarman, Dick learned to catch fish from the water with his paw. "He will sit there and watch the water until he sees fish and quick as a flash, catch it." Mrs. Jarman said.
 The first year, when Dick was adopted by the Jarmans, former Chief of Police Getchell contributed his share by letting him go with outsa license, saying, Anyone that will take in a forlorn, bony dog like him is doing enough
  Though people in Douglas claim that Dick is twelve years old, the Jarmans have reason to believe he is younger as he occasionally ap- pears with a stick of kindling de- manding someone to play with him. He likes to be the center of the stage every once in while" they say.
 So, though touched with sadness, the story of Dick, the prospector's $ dog" is not a tragedy, and he has a good home and kind treat ment. Though he looks, at times, as if he is still thinking of the old fellow" Mrs. Jarman said.

TYRED was out Of town on busi-

had light and early dinner
with the Chickadee in the nursery.
It WAS not until they had returned
to the living room-the violently
protesting Chickadee having been
put to bed-that Ardeth found m

''You saw The Spy for this

Mary reached back q lazy

Cheaper Than Charity

Plenty has been said about the
orgy Of building which took place
during the boom years providing
more dwellings than there was any
need for. But now that several years
have passed, this overproduction has
been well averaged down.
A few years ago we were building
several hundred thousand homes .
year-undoubtedly too many. But
last year we built only about $4,000.
Thousands OF these newer homes,
as well as millions of older ones,
have been allowed to deteriorate to
the point OF needing extensive repair
or replacement.
There never was a better time to
do either, than now. Lumber. ce.
ment and other basic materials are
selling 1t rock-bottom prices. So are
electrical and plumbing and roofing
supplies. There is an abundance OF
labor, skilled and unskilled. The
citizen who builds a home today, or
repairs the old one, not only obtains
. bargain but strikes . blow at de-
preston. Money spent for construc-
ton ana maintenance Of property
covers q wide area and alights in|
many pockets. It has a powerful
stimulating effect on the national
purchasing power.
II you're able to build home and
need one. do 1t now. II you aren't,
you can probably spend q few dol.
lars or few hundred dollars on ne.
pairs and requirements. You'll save
money, and you'll be doing your bit
In the greatest war of modern times
the war against unemployment and
distress.
Investment and employment are
cheaper than charity.
