KETCHIKAN
REGULATES
BEER VENDORS

An ordinance restricting the ac-
tiyities of beer vendors in Ketchikan
was adopted by the city council last
week, according to the Ketchikan
Chronicle. 1t was submitted by the
police committee directly after
somewhat similar suggestions, as
contained in a petition, were read
to the council by the Ketchikan
Ministerial association.
The ordinance prohibits beer par
Tors from having musical or dancing
entertainment on the premises. The
territorial regulations which pro-
hibits minors and drunkards from
getting beer or liquor, or being al
lowed to be in beer parlor, is sup
plemented by this ordinance which
puts the ruling in the enforcement
duties of the city police.
Penalties Provided
Penalties for infractions of the
ordinance are a maximum fine of
SlOO or 80 days in jail or both. The
ordinance, in keeping with the terri
torial liquor boards discussion, rec
ognizes the difference between a
beer parlor and a restaurant. The
former operates under a dispensary
license and the latter under a beer
and wine license.
Restaurants Differ
The beer parlor may sell in bot
ties or by the glass, but the res
taurant only in opened bottles and
then with meals. The closing clause
imposed on beer parlors does not
apply to restaurant. Beer parlors
holding restaurant licenses are regu-
lated as beer parlors only and are
not privileged to sell beer after l
o'clock in the morning
Lettering in or frequenJing beer
parlors after the closing hour is pro-
hihited by the law. Operators are
charged with the enforcement of
this particular clause. The manage
ment is also obliged to determine
the ages of persons seeking to pur-
chase beer, that part of the ordi-
nance reading, =" any licensee
who sells, serves or furnishes any
such Intoxicating liquor to any per-
son under 81 years of age shall be
presumed to have known that such
person was under age"

AID
VALUABLE
TOSTRIKERS

SEATTLE-The government has
declared itself ready Wednesday to
care for needy striking longshore-
men and their families until the
termination of the strike.
The Seattle office of the Wash
ington state relief administration
announced that it had been directed
from state headquarters at Olympia
to regard striking longshoremen
needing food and other living nee
essities in the same category as all
other needy persons.
The same policy was announced
at San Francisco and will obtain
in all ports where the strike is in
effect, the Seattle office was given
to understand.
Few Requests
Thus far the influence of the
strike has been negligible as far as
our enrolment is concerned" A. M.
Young, chief engineer here, declar-
ed. 'Longshoremen have been get
ting work regularly up to the pres
ent and I don't think many have yet
applied for relief"
The relief policy is predicated
upon an order received yesterday
from the federal relief administra-
ton. The order read:
THE federal emergency relief
administration is concerned with
administering relief to the needy
unemployed and their families.
Each case applying for relief to
the local agencies should be treated
on it's merits as a relief case wholly
apart from any controversy in
which the wage Garner may be in
yolved.
1.-THE federal emergency relief adj
ministration will not attempt to
judge the merits of labor disputes.
State and federal agencies exist as
we'll as courts which are duly quail
fled to act as arbiters in such dis
putes. Unless it be determined by
the national labor board of the ma
tional recovery administration that
the basis for a strike is unreason-
able and unjustified, the FERA au-
thoriZes local relief agencies to fur
nish relief to the families of strik-
ing wage earners after careful in
vestigation has shown that their
resources are not sufficient to meet
their emergency needs"

Alaska Will Probably
Lose Pacific Air Route

HONOLULU - Airplane service
connecting the mainland of the
United States with the far east
through Hawaii was predicted here
last night by William Grooch, oper-
ating manager of Pan-American Air
ways in the orient.
Crooch stopped over here enroute
to New York.
He said that the Alaskan route
is shorter, but expressed the belief
that the future air route over the
Pacific would be by way of Honolu-
la, Guam, Manila and Shanghai be-
cause of the poor flying conditions
along the coast of China which he
termed the worst in the world.
Crooch said that he is going to
ask for new type of plan to COM
lat the foggy air lanes along
China's coast where service has
leen suspended since April after
the loss of a transport plane with
fur passengers.

in the world is worth no more than
the amount of oil 11 win produce,
Just as q $50 bill is worth $40, yet
a poor investment at $2O.OS. Tt takes
no figuring TO see that 3 $40 bill is
not worth $20.O5 but it is just as
necessary to recognize the value OF an
OH royalty as IL Is to recognize the
value of a $50 bill.
The man who purchases royalty
buys OH I'm underground storage. He
buys this oil with the idea that I'm due
course Of time it win be brought to
the surface of the ground and sold
at a profit 20 him. He may own ~

or $4,000. If ne paid $1,000 for
that %, he has made a tremendous
profit. IL he paid $4,000 for that
10, he actually lost money by trad
ing dollars. That is the factor that
must be figured in advance.
The old stock market idea Is 20
buy something that we believe the
''Other fellow" viii buy at a higher
price. We do not care how the 10th
eF fellow Is fooled into doing this.
Back I'm 1928 we bought stock in

cause we figured that someone else
might be willing 20 pay more than
we paid. On q steadily advancing mar
ket, we did not sell, so we took NO
profit. We figured paper profit"
When the crash came, we found that
our stocks were worthless merely be
cause none else would buy them
for ms. The radio company, TO com
time the example, continued 70 manu-
facture radios, but that was not the
basis OF our investment.
In buying royalties we do not hope
to profit by some other persons loss.
We buy royalty because we want an
income producing property that win
pay MS back many times our invest
ment. We accept the hazard OF the
landowner that the oil is present be-
meath his ground. The science OF ge-
ology gives us some assurance OF this
fact. Then, furthermore. we determine
the PROBABLE value OF the oil nm
der given tract. If we pay ST for
q royalty under one acre of ground
and we can determine that the prob
able oil content OF that acre is $4,000
worth OF oil, we know that our pos
sible return is $50 for 81 invested.
The man who had his money 'sbux-
led" in royalties when the depression

In Northern Montana. II is true that
