The January issue of the Pacific
Motor Boat magazine carried an
interesting article under the title,
Capt. sgd harrington of the Sti-
kline" The data of the article, a
number of Stikine views and a
picture of Capt. Darlington we're
furnished the magazine by Capt.
James Griffiths of Seattle who,
with a party of friends last summer
left the Griffiths yacht on which
they were making a southeast Alas
ka cruise, at Wrangell and enjoyed
the Stikine river trip on the new
Hazel B No. 2. Excerpts from the
article follow:
Through the rich Cassiar gold
country, wild and unspoiled by
man, runs the Stikine-and for
sixteen years Captain sgd Barring
ton has been operating a fleet of
gasoline craft on this picturesque
Alaska river. For twice as long as
that he has answered the call of the
north country's swiftest streams
the Yukon, the Susitna, and the
Koyukuk. He has many times been
the first to venture up other swift
streams and several times he has
been the only one.
I'm the nineties he piloted the
Clifford Sifton, a double stacker,
through Miles Canyon and the
White Horse Rapids. She was then
the finest and largest river boat in
the north, but due to the completion
of the White Pass railroad she had
served her usefulness on Lake Ben
nett and her owners wanted to get
her down the river. Now this can
yon is mile long and eighty feet
wide, with sheer rocks rising above
the boiling surface of the river,
"A trip like that would be sui
cidel'
They said that, even in the nine
ties, and in the north. But the Cliff
ford Sifton had to go down the
river, and Captain sgd was the man
to take her. He knew better than
anyone that if he lost control of the
boat for single moment she would
be dashed to bits against the canyon
walls. So Captain sgd tied bales of
hay around the steamer and threw
her wide open. In three minutes.
and without a scratch-the Clifford
Sifton was at the other end of the
canyon!
with the termination of the gold
rush, returning travellers fought to
obtain passage with Captain sgd.
There was a distinction in ventur-
ing down the Yukon on the first
boat and the first boat was usu-
ally Captain Syd's. Sometimes as he
steamed into Dawson as much as
$4,000 in bets would change
hands for the race down the river

VOL Explains Bar
On Rutherford Talk

1t wasn't what Judge James
Rutherford said in his Sunday
radio broadcast that caused Radio
Station VOL to bar him from the
air here. 1t was what the Judge
might have said.
That was the explanation from
station officials yesterday after
hundreds of Judge Rutherford's
followers demanded to know why
his address was muffled. Judge
Rutherford spoke from Brooklyn,
N. Y, and a copy of his talk
failed to arrive at the local sta
ton before he went on the air,
thereby violating studio rules. So
a musical number was substituted.

CHANGES WILL
 BE M ADE FOR VETS SERVICE
Regulations to Be Review ed-Cuts to Be Made
 Less Severe STATEMENT MADE
 FROM WHITE HOUSE Conference Held by Presi- dent, Budget Director,
 A. L. Chief

WASHINGTON, May II. The White House announced last night that economies to be effected through the reduction of pay ments to veterans for service con- nscted with disabilities, will be re- viewed with a view of making the cuts less severe.
 The statement followed a con- ference between President Roose- welt, Director of Budget Douglas and Louis Johnson, National Com mander of the American Legion.
 The statement read in part as follows:
 "As a result of application of veterans regulations, it now seems that a cut in the compensation service connected with World War veterans, with specific injuries, has been deeper than original in- tended.
 "The regulation schedules, in this respect, will therefore be re- viewed so as to effect more equit- able levels of payments and care- full study also will be made of other regulations and their effects. !"

CHAMBER TAXES
 NEUTRAL AND ON HOME SITE
Endorses No articular Lo- cation-Members Talk
 Tn Favor of Sitka

Although it's individual members are apparently all convinced that the site of the Pione eers Home should not be changed from Sitka f the Chamber of Commerce today as matter of general policy adopt ed motion directing Secretary c H. Walmsley to advise the Pio- neers Home Building Commission that it favored retention of the in- stitution south of the Gulf o1 Alaska, without specifying any par ticular place.
 There are four Southeast Alaska towns in the field with applfca- tions for the Home-Sitka, where it has been located since it's es- tablishment some 20 years ago Craig, Skagway and Douglas. Of ficially the Chamber decided il would be unfair to all of the oth- CTS to formally endoise any of them.
 MemDeTS TOT Sllkd As individuals, however, there was not any question which site is favored. Every speaker at today's meeting of the Chamber expressed himself as for retention at Sitka
 Jack Conway, former resident of Skagway, and now resident of Sitka, a guest of the Chamber to- day, opened the discussion by de- claring the three major factors to govern in the selection of site were all in favor of Sitka-climate cost of construction and cost of operation.
 A. E. Goetz, representing the Douglas Chamber of Commerce said that town has already put in it's bid and has asked the Building Commission to inspect the sites that were available and other ad- vantages Douglas has to offer. He said Douglas wanted and hoped tc get the support of the local Cham Der.
 Sitka Proper Place
 "Sitka is the proper place for the Home" declared Lockie MacKin- non, a member of the Board ot Trustees of the Home for the past 12 years. Time after time, he add ed, the residents of the Home have signed petitions urging it's reten- ton there, and today all of them are against removal to any other place.
 President Allen Shattuck, for mer member of the same Board, de clared he had been committed te Sitka for some time. He cited that | the most serious competition Sitks has to face is from Anchorage. The Commission created two years agc by the Alaska Legislature had re- (Continued on Page Three)
