ketchikan Considering New
 Liability Insurance Plan

Rather than make an annual premium payment of approxi- mately 1000 and receive ben efits that have in the past nev- CT exceeded $2O0, the Ketchi- kan city council plans the es- tablishment of an insurance fund. The contract for work mems liability insurance car ried by the city for its employ ees ran out last month, says the Chronicle of that city.
 The plan has been advanced for consideration to set aside the amount that would be paid as a premium each year in a special account. The annual surplus would be carried over from year to year until fund of approximately $10,000 has been established.

Col. Sturdevant Assigned
 To Post In Philippines

Lieutenant Colonel c. L. Sturdevant, corps of engineers, United States army, has been assigned to duty in the Philip pines, effective February 26, 1885, and will probably have no part in the direction of the Salmon river flood control pro- ject to be undertaken here next summer, as had been anticipat- ed.
 Col. Sturdevant has been in charge of the district engin- eer's office in Seattle since 1921 and was in charge of the Alaska district during the greater part of that period. His successor in the Seattle office has not been announced.

LOCAL TOPICS

Nick Krispovich came up from the lower reaches of Portland Canal in his power boat Tues day and reported that trappers from Ketchikan are beginning to appear in that section but otherwise there is no activity.
 The game shortage apparent throughout the past season continues and none of the old- timers succeeded in getting any deer. The animals appear to have either deserted the district or perished in the se- were cold period last winter, MT. Kristovich said. He re- ported meeting Sam McNeil of Stewart, who was hunting on the Canadian side, and Charles (Shorty) Carlson, who is en- ployed by the Naket Packing Company to watch their sal mon traps.

s. E. Alaska Timber Sales
 Show Substantial Increase

Increased timber sales in southeastern A Ia ska have bcloated the total transfers to nearly thirty-four million feet during the past four months, representing a value of a quar- ter of million dollars at the mills, says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Activities in logging have eX- perienced an appreciable in- crease during that time. Much of this was due to enlarged sawmill orders for railroad ties and building materials.
 Forest service proceeds from the sales of timber holdings amount to $42,500.

Fourth, Forgive Repeatedly
Seventy times seven" Sincere
penitence calls for sincere par
don, not once thrice, nor seven
times, but indefinitely. Maintain

Fifth, Forgive Considerably

Forgiveness is not calculating but
gracious.
Sixth, Forgive Compassionately

forgiveness chills and kills. The
hot tears of penitence call for g
warm heart of nardon. We can
not wipe out others faults in
cold blood.
Seventh, FORGIVE Completely
"Forgave him the debt" See the
great, gracious monarch erase
from his books the obligation OF
the corrupt official! But that is
what forgiveness demands = g
clean slate and new start!
Eighth, Forgive Constructively

Then forgive others in sheer

Tenth. Forgive Sincerely

Warden L. G. Whitley, now dep
utv warden in charge of prison
discipline aid welfare and rank
inc next to Roach, is also being
mentioned as d possibility for
the new post. For Whitley has
been connected with the prisons Of
the state for some II years. hav-
ing been state prison inspector
for the state board of health and
board of public welfare before
actually becoming a part of the
prison administration. He thus
has much fuller background of
experience than Roach, who has
been with the prison department
for only about three years.
The name Of Chester -. Bell,
who was auditor Of the state pri-
son for some six years while Pou
was superintendent and who is
now head of the auditing divi-
sion of the consolidated prison
system, is also being mentioned
as a possible candidate for the
new post, as is Charles Creech of
Smithfield, and Oscar Pitts of
Hickory, both district supervisors
of prison camps. There has also
been some speculation to the eff
feet that H. X. Witherspoon. who
was for a good many years as
sistant to the chairman Of the
highway commission until Pou
was made executive director,
might be restore to his old job
and placed in charge of the pri-
son division. But the fact that
all of Witherspoon's experience
has been in the highway rather
than the prison end Of the COM
mission, is inclined to make most
| Observers leave him out of the
present picture.
AS a result, most of those ia
miliar with the situation here are
inclined to believe that the new
Job as head of the prison division
is more likely to he given to eth
er Roach. Whitley or Pitts, with
most Of them picking Roach.
The entire membership, Of the
highway and public works COM
mission will meet here tomorrow
to pass on the bids opened here
today and to act on the resigna-
ton of Pou. 1t is thought likely
that the selection of a man tc
fill the vacancy caused by POu's
resignation will be discussed and
some think it may be filled i'm
mediately.
There has been some pressure
brought to bear on Governor j.
C. B. Ehringhaus and the men,
bers of the highway commission
in opposition to filling the vac
ancy. Both the governor and
Chairman f. B. Jeffress of the
commission are convinced that it
is absolutely essential to have a
director of prisons in order to as"
sure the proper operation of the
prison division. Chairman JEFF
fress pointed out today that the

with a yearly turnover OF APP

'POU SUCCESSOR
TO BE CHOSEN
Some One With State Pris-
on System Will Get
$4,000 a Year Job
III. .mncs-Ncws Bureau
Sir Walter Iiote!

RALEIGH, April IA Some
one already connected with the
prison division of the state high
way and public works commission
is expected to be appointed by
the commission to succeed Geo.
Ross Pou as head Of the prison
system rather than some outsider
with no previous experience in
prison work, it was learned au-
thoritatively here today. 1t is
not expected, however, that this
new head of the prison division
will receive as much salary as
Pou received OF that he will have
any authority over anything ex-
cept prison matters. Pou's salary
was $4,000 a year, without the
"perquisites" which he had form
erly received while superintend-
ent Of the state prison. before it
was merged with the highway
commission prison system. 1t is
not expected that his successor
will get much more than half
that amount.
The man first in line for ap-
pointment as the new head of
the prison division is regarded
as being j. B. Roach, who has
been next in authority to Pou
since last July when he succeeded
Sam Scott as deputy warden in
charge of all prison camps and
prison units and who was acting
head of the prison system while
Pou was i'll for several months.
However, the name of Deputy
