more, and catching a road commits sion truck for a 23-mile ride into Talkeetna and the Alaska Railroad to Anchorage, Mrs. M. A. TTepte, hardy Alaskan mother, accompanied by her thirteen-year-old daughter, Eleanor, arrived in Anchorage re- gently.
 Tt was no killing task, Mrs. Trept told the Anchorage Times. We just kept on steadily, placing one foot after the other and got to the point on the road where we caught the truck. MT. Trepte turned back, and I came on in with my daughter, and brought some of the gold dust we mined during the summer. Our daughter is to leave next week for Winlock, Washington, to enter St. Mary's Academy to con- tinue her schooling.
 During the summer we mined our placer properties on the high mountain creek, far above timber line, eight miles beyond Bird Creek. MT. Trepte located the placer on
 
 months shoveled in there and we cleaned up enough with the aid of one sluice box to more than beat wages.
 While my husband was mining, was busy at our little home. True, we had no companions outside our family and there were no neighbors closer than Bird Creek. eight miles away, but we were well and very much occupied with our work, and were happy, and never missed meal, and have enough to start out for the winter We will go trapping up the Yentna this winter, my hus- band and I, and we hope to come out with a bunch of furs, and be prepared to resume the placer min ing next season on a good scale and with more equipment. The ground on which we mined on our new creek, which we call Dutch Creek, is only about three feet deep, and carries satisfactory play. More such pay streams might be located if men. went searching for them.
 We have a little sheet iron cov- cred cabin at our lofty camp and we are very comfortable there. We had considerable game, including birds, and plenty of food in the cache, which we took in last spring. Bears did not bother us, probably due to the fact we have three big dogs running about the camp, and the smoke and activity possibly did a lot to discourage any marauders."
 Mrs. Trepte is rugged athletic woman of middle age, and keen over the outdoor life After about two weeks she and MT. Trepte will outfit for their winter trapping up the Yentna, and will hit the trap line in good season.

THE PRESS

We all remember the bitter talk during the early days of the Lind bergh Kidnapping, about alleged newspaper interference. Thousands of hysterical protest letters and telegrams poured in on the police of New York and New Jersey and nearly every newspaper editor re- ceived a ration of complaints that the press was helping the kidnap- CTS.
 A women's club in California sent a petition to hundreds of news papers throughout the nation, de- manding press silence on pain of reprisals in the form of a boycott of advertisers.
 Even some prominent but faint hearted editors agreed the press should withdraw from the case. Colonel Lindbergh, however, was fair enough to the reporters, all though that gentleman has strict and often impractical notions about press relations.
 Well. in light of present events, WllH luG hluHdpCl all llddC public, and with the plot fairly we'll revealed, who will say that newspapers interfered with the ac- tion of the police, or the family? The contrary Is true.
 The newspapermen co-operated with the police, suppressed matter which might have aided the kid naper, and even published fake news at the behest of the police and Lindbergh family to throw the criminal off the pursuit trail. On one occasion, Colonel Lindbergh thought he was being too closely followed by reporters and asked for greater freedom of action. He received 1t, promptly.
 Now authorities working on the case are generously giving the ere dit to the newspapers for aiding in the generally supposed solution of the case and in unearthing details which point to conviction of the perpetrator of the crime. -Ketchi kan Chronicle.

JIMMY THE BEAR BOY DIES
 AT SITKA LAST SEPTEMBER

In 1851 a man drowned in the river near Yakutat named Guth- lieth (Ghukhlee-ekh), and when the body was recovered it was bent nearly double as though with cramp. the arms were drawn up so that the hands hung stiffly at either side of the face, according to the Sitka Arrowhead's last is- sue. The mans body looked like dancing bear.
 Shortly after that, the story con tinues, a child was born into a Thlinget family, and he was also named Guthlieth. He seemed a normal boy-child, but as he grew older and neared the walking age. the second GutHlieth seemed to he appeared strangely crippled. So the second Guthlieth seemed to take on the drowned body of the first, for the Indian soul never dies, but passes on into another life forever
 Later, Guthlieth was given the Christian name of Jim Bailey, but through the years he has become known by most Alaskans and by many American readers as Danc- ing Bear or Jimmy the Bear Boy.
 His age was unknown and his ignorance of English led people to believe that his affliction affected him mentally; but the Thlinget people tell that he was S3 and nor nal. Often he told stories to chil- dren through the evening-legends that died with him.
 He was noted for his exceptional

brought terror to the hearts Of
those who were expecting the
Republicans to make at least a
respectable showing in the cleo
ton.
Charges have been made for
some time by Republicans that
the Administration was preparing
to "buy" the voters in the COM
ing election by use Of Federal
tax funds. ..
It had been considered that
these charges were empty and
were merely an advance taste Of
sour grapes.
But the renewed activity of the
Administration in the last few
days is now held to justify amply
the gloomy forebodingS OF the
Republicans.
The first of the items listed
above is held to be excusable on
the ground that not until now
has it been possible to build up
the AAA staff to the point where
it can get out checks for money
already owing to the farmers.
On the other three items, how
ever, the "pure-souled" Republi.
cans are said to feel that unfair
advantage has been taken of
them.
Census Statements Hit
The farm census, it is pointed
out, cannot be made until after
the first of the year. There has
been no secret of the fact that it
would be made then. But, query
the distressed Republicans, why
do the Department of Agriculture
and the Census Bureau come out
with announcements now that

And, the Republicans feel, the re-
ports are greatly exaggerated.
There is comparatively little
cause for surprise in the compila-
ton of figures on State expendi-
lures by the Democratic commit
tee. These same figures have
been used by Democratic orators
for weeks. But, say the Repub-
licans, why step out and invite ad-

the same figures now?

Educational Leaders
 Attend Meeting Here
Future Programs Discussed By Speakers at Nauga-
 tuck Valley Conference Held at The Elton

Approximately 200 educational leaders and teachers were present at the meeting of Naugatuck Valley public school instrustors last night at the Elton. Arranged under the 2 direction of Edwin B. Floyd, super visor of rural education, the con- ference included talks by Dr Ern- est w. Butterfield, state commits sioner of education, Franklin D. Pierce, director of teacher train- ing, and others.
 Education of the future, accord ing to the unanimous opinion of the speakers, will be concerned greatly with preparation of stu dents for new conditions, and also the consideration of adult edpca- tion on large scale.
 Taking for his subject, Look ing Forward in Our State Pro- gram, Dr Butterfield stressed the fact that it has always been the plain people who have been chiefly as opposed to ''the leaders of society"
 First School
 He told of the establishment of the first common schools in Massa- chusetts 300 years ago, and of the people who worked for their suc- cess and whom he described as small tradesmen and shopkeepers. It was this group which founded Harvard college and the Boston Latin school, Dr Butterfield said.
 A century ago, he continued, the public school system was aagin overhauled by the common people. The same ploblems were in exist ence then, as now, namely the necessity of building a different sort

AIRPLANE MAY
 BE FOOL L-PROOF
New Model Designed at Boston University
 Easily Flown

Boston, Dec 19L (UP)-Here's another step in the search for a fool-prcof airplane.
 It's a novel craft being built in Boston Universitys department of aeronautics with the collaboration of Lieutenant Arthur G. B. Met- calf.
 The new plane will be able to land in little more than half the distance needed by an ordinary plane, according to Lieutenant Metcalf.
 It will be flown as easily by a novice as 8 skilled pilot flies a con- that a single afternoon will be enough to teach a beginner to handle the new ship with perfect safety.
 "This new plane will entirely eliminate the need for highly developed sense of coordination and flying instinct" says the lieu- tenant. "This new development will not detract from the cfficien- cy or speed of the plane." Lieutenant Metealf believes many accidents attributed to poor pilotlng arc due to defects in de- sign, and that these may be ellm- mated without radical changes. The department of aeronautics recently has been added to the | College of Business Administra- ton, making Boston University the only Now England institution, ex- cept Mnssacliusetts Institute Of Techonology. to offer courses In

of school and the question of their support, as we'll as teacher edu- cation and training.
 The teacher of the future was described by Franklin E. Pierce, state director of teacher traing. He also spoke of the extension courses now being offered for teachers in rural schools and the work done in the summer schools. Professor Treat B. Johnson of Bethany spoke of the necessity of applying scientific treatment to the problems of education. The edu- cational methods of 50 years ago cannot function so as to meet the needs of our complicated civiliza- Ntion of today, he said. He urged greater stress on social studies, personal sanatation and activity problems.

 Superintendent Harold E. Chit tenden of Naugatuck said that while is was an excellent idea to look forward to change in educa- tion, there were certain fundamen- tai principles which should not be forgotten.
 N. Searle- Light, director of field service for the state board of edu- cation, explained the work of the EZRA. He described the functions, of the nursery schools and the community colleges now in oper- ation.

TAX EXEMPTIONS ON FUTURE BONDS
 MAY BE ENACTED
This Is Part of Plan Being Considered By the
 President
By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Washington, Dec 21.-UP)- Legislation to remove tax exemp- ton on future federal, state and municipal bonds will be urged of congress by Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, the United Press learned today.
 Now outstanding are $35,000,- 000,000 to $50,000, 100000 in tax exempt government securities. The exemption on these could not be removed but future issues would be affected under the plan.
 The taX-exempt security prob- lem was believed today the most important subject in a comprehen- sive tax survey ordered yesterday by President Roosevelt to de- termine means of eliminating over tapping taxes and more economical methods of collection.
 The treasury program probably will take the form of recommenda- tions to the house ways and means and the judiciary committees.
 Morgenthau last March recom- mended enactment of "21st amendment" to the Constitution to permit stp,,es to tax the interest from federal securities and the federal government to tax the in- come from state and municipal securities.
 Hundreds of millions of possi- ble state and federal income taxes are lost annually by the invest ment of capital in tax-exempt se- curities.
 The treasury's study of overlap ping taxes, preparatory to a gen. eral tax conference of federal and local authorities next summer, will deal with all phases of the present taxation system.
 The establishment of "zones' of taxation sources divided among federal, state and municipal au- thorities may result from the sur vey. The most economical method of collection would be devised with and then apportioning them to other taxing bodies.
 Internal revenue bureau figures show income taxpayers in 1882 listed $16,257,147,839 in wholly or partially tax-exempt securities on which they received interest of Tens of billions of other tax exempt securities in the smaller returns were not reported.
 Included in the $16,257,147,839 of reported tax exempt securities were $11, 916,864,000 held by cor porations and investing organiza- tions. If the securities had not been tax-exempt. several hundred million would have been collected in taxes from the $782,260,923 in terest reported received from these investments.
