ANDREW PETERSON IS
 FOUND DEAD ON WEST
 ISLAND, NEAR KAKE

Andrew Peterson, for many years troller in Southeast Alaska wat CTS, but who retired from that calling some two years ago to make his home on West Island, was found dead there late last week by Mrs. V. A. Paine. Word of the mans death was sent by her to Judge Paine yesterday.
 After informing Federal and Ter ritorial officials of the matter, Judge Paine. left today by plane for Rake. He will go from there by boat to West Island, which is near his fox ranch on Keku Island, and get the body. He will bring it back here for burial.
 Peterson was an elderly man, and had not been in good health for some time. It is reported that he had no surviving relatives so far as is known here.

ference to save them. The recovery has been proceeding while the con- ference has been wrangling. and it is on the economic facts rather than upon conference resolutions and declarations that mems inter- est everywhere is centered.
 Naturally every one is reserved and skeptical and no one wishes to appear foolish optimist. The governments are capable of doing reactionary and dangerous things A controlled imitation which is really controlled is not yet guar anteed success. But isthe fact is there, nevertheless, that the world prices and not merely American prices. are rising and that men all over Europe as well as ih America are beginning to go, back to work. In the group of countries which do about 75 per cent of the trade lof the world, in the whole dollar and sterling area, it is hardly dis puted that the American program is in its actual effects not a selfish and isolated kind of nationalism but an example to and an ener- gizing force upon the whole world economy. It is well to bear these things in mind. For they are the real things which offset the rela- lively petty melancholia that per vades this misconceived and dis organized and badly timed con ference.
 1 Here, for example, is the finan- cial editor of ''The London Times, '' who rarely fails to represent the highest British orthodoxy, writing today that ''in quarters well quali- fled to judge it is felt that the American experiment can be con- tinued without interfering much Tiff at all, at this stage, with the slow but steady improvement in economic conditions in other and more stabilized countries" and that "the American experiment has so far succeeded in raising American prices without producing any de- flationary effects abroad. So long as this remains the case no really disturbing effects to the outside world are likely to be caused" This is admitting a great deal. It is ad- hitting, as the President has so rightly judged, that the need for immediate stabiliZation was not nearly so important as it has been made to appear.
 
 Our task then is to contribute what we can toward helping the conference to adjourn in a decent spirit, to provide for a continuance of the exploratory discussions, and during the recess to let the effects of a managed recovery be experi- |enced.

Shining Domes in the Depression.
(New York Herald Tribune. ]


 Tn it's annual conclave at Chicago the American Association for the Advancement of Science has found time from the discussion of more esoteric matters to consider the relation between the state of ones hair and that of his bank balance. One of the delegates announced that there seems to exist close connection between income and capillary growth, evidently due to the influence of nervous anxiety on the roots of the hair. According to the new hypothesis, happy age is apparently hirsute age. and a harried generation is hairless one.
 Hitherto we have looked badness as a purely physical affair without mental affiliations True we have noticed that the Indians were never troubled with badness though given to in- flcting it those whites who fell into their hands If the locks of every Indian from Powhatan to Sitting Bull seemed as shaggy as a buffalos head ascribed it to their outdoor life rather than to their lack of cerebration and worry If the brunette peoples about the Mediterranean seemed less given to falling hair than the blond Morales we laid it to the sun
 If we lift the hats of representative figures in history we find little basis for generalizng. Socrates and Cicero. Shakespeare and Voltaire Bismarck and Lenin were bald, though of them found con- pensation in beard The fact that Caesar was bald and in debt for 25,0OOOO0 sesterces when he joined the riumvirate probably case of cause and effect Evidence in the bewigged eighteenth century is difficult to gather but when pates issued again with the French Revolution we find the heads Of Benjamin Franklin and John Quincy Adams geaming in all their republican nudity In our own time both Mussolni and Mayor OBrien have shin ing domes. On the other hand among the well crested have been Pericles and Plato, Mrabeau and Andrew Jackson, the on-maned Gooethe and Beethoven, and Dumas and Ibsen. So are Trotzky and Hitler. Herriot and Macdonald however their coffures may differ.

To,Umd q Decent Adjournment
By WALTER LIPPMANN

LONDON, July 5.-The problem of adjourning the conference is now the main business of the con- ference. On the essential point there is really no disagreement. It is generally recognized that except possibly for certain arrangements relating to the control of produc- tion, no important decisions are possible at this time. Tariffs can be discussed. They cannot be regu- lated until prices and currencies are more clearly defined The mon- etary problem cannot be dealt with here under present conditions.
 In its immediate aspects no de- cisions are possible because the American monetary movement has not yet been completed, because the future of the gold currencies has not yet been finally tested, be- cause the British cannot or will not openly commit themselves. The more far reaching aspects of the money problem, such as the work ing out of plans for the future of Ia managed gold standard, could, perhaps, be examined quietly by lexperts but they cannot, I believe, be publicly discussed by responsi- ble ministers as long as the po- sition of some of the gold cur rencies is unsettled. eps- Therefore in one form or anoth- Ter an adjournment or recess, or the equivalent by some other name, lis necessary. The question is how to produce this adjournment in a way which will inflict the least damage upon the prestige of the governments. Here there is room for ingenuity and diplomatic, fi- nesse, and in the next few days many different formulae will be considered. What is desired is a form of adjournment which will not be breakdown amidst bitterness and recrimination. What is needed is the kind of adjournment which will give time for American policy to be consummated, for American ideas to be more clearly formulat- ed, for the American representa- tion to be recognized, for the fur ture of the gold currencies to be- come unfolded, for Britain to choose a definite course.
 In short, the problem is how to achieve a constructive rather than a destructive adjournment.
 It must be realized that except among public men who have po- litical stake in the conference and among economists and financiers who are shocked by the American, financial heresies, the underlying sentiment here is one of genuine hopefulness that a world recovery has actually begun.
 Men are not waiting for the con-

PORTLAND URGED TO SEEK ALASKA
 TRADE.

Alaskas trade, now largely a Seattle asset being viewed by Portland, Oregon. with apprec tion and at least one Portland newspaper is urgir the wisdom of direct steamship contact vii ports of this Territory Alaska consumes mal products that Oregon excels in, and could off keen competition to Seattle if transportation hand caps now existing eradicated
 In this connection, the Oregon Journal, publishe in Portland, recently said
 Let Portlanders study these figures
 Alaska imported farm products in 1892 totaling 3l,877,76l pounds. Of the amount due to lack of direct ship service Oregon contributed only 288OOO pounds
 There can be no local pride in the record that Portland has made in Alaska
 The trade of Alaska is very large And 1t is growing by leaps and bounds Vancouver, B. c, shares in it. Seattle profits heavily rom it. San Francisco 700 miles farther away than Portland. does heavy business With Alaska. But for lack of ship service Portland has almost no Alaskan trade
 Yet, Alaska is a heavy buyer of much that Portland could supply. Thus in 1882 Alaska imported 6,504,342 pounds of butter, l,5O7445 dozen eggs, l8,035,099 pounds of Hour oatmeal, wheat, oats and barley and 5,830875 pounds of ham, bacon and other meats
 But in that same year Oregons entire contribution to that big total was only 20S,000 pounds, and valued at only $4l783 What poor showing Oregon's great ship ping metropolis makes in connection with Seattle, Vancouver and San Francisco in supplying Alaska with farm products!
 Alaska is buying market to the tune of millions Of dollars year In 1892 that Territory bought imports to the value of $2O,5l0238. Between 1906 and 1929 the total of purchases by Alaska was s792 829, ,534
 They are alluring figures It is great trade, not far from Portland's back door, but in which Portland traders have but tiny share. And there is perennial call up there in the icy North for Oregon farm products; but the only way those products can get to Alaska is to go via Seattle, or Vancouver, B. C. And the added rail charge to ship these farm products to the ship lines that operate direct with Alaska makes it al- most impossible for Oregon farmers to share in the sale of their farm output to the Alaskans. And the same extra charge places Portland manufacturers and tradesmen under an extreme handicap in marketing their wares and products in the great white North
 It is heavy price that Oregon is paying for the lack of enterprise in which Port

 But what makes a city and State is what a city and State makes produces and then sells. And to sell, there must be markets. And few hundred miles to the north is empire of markets and con- sumption of which Portland business leaders comparatively oblivious.
 Cannot the Portland Chamber of Com merce find even one ship to carry on be- tween Portland and the many Alaskan ports?
 Portland is taking on new life on the sea in home-owned ship lines, established in comparatively recent times. Portland's open road to the ocean is one of her greatest assets

NogaIes Boy Is
Kidnap Target

Registering at the Montezuma
Hotel about noon on July first, last
Saturday, Richard Sommers and one
Ted Murrell, who registered under
the name of Irving Wharburtons
both California men, took the ini-
tial step in their plans to kidnap
by airplane, little Jack Trippell of
this city. After the failure of their
scheme which happened partly to
the alertness Of Jack and partly to
the crudness and fright of the men,
they took off in the plane into which
they had attempted to force the
youth.
The pair checked out of the hotel
on Sunday evening taking lodging at
the Casa Ana Maria located on
Crawford street just across the way
from the home of the near victim.
Here they became acquainted with
Jack making friends with him and
shlwering him with promises of
airplane rides and instruction in
big time football, all of which serv-
cd to win for them the confidence
of the boy.
Last Tuesday, at the annual San
ta Cruz county rodeo the actual alb
duction of the youth took place
when the two lured him into their
car stating that they would drive
him to the International Airport
where his mother awaited him and
where their plane was located.
Becoming suspicious when upon
their arrival, Jackie's mother could
not be seen, the youngster baked
and refused to enter the ship which
