Mail By Dog Teams
What l have said about the ne
cessity of maintaining the Air Mail
Service does not mean that am in
favor of having all service on these
star routes made by air. As l have
tried to indicate, the mail should be
carried from one large town or city
in this region by air, and then the
intermediate settlements and indi-
viduals along the routes should be
given service by dog teams. This plan
would cover the country like a blan-
ket and would take care of all the
residents, or at least of as many as
it would be practicable to serve
within a reasonable appropriation
of funds. That is substantially, in
another form, the system that exists
in the United States. Why can il
not be done in Alaska? | am con-
WINGED that it can and ought to be
done, and the Air Mail Service
should be maintained.

Wigg on one of the Blaskey island
group, the bulkhead was found on
Rays island, the pilot house and
some decking on East island and the
varying winds carried pieces to
other parts of the district. So far
all of the wreckage found has been
from the Nellie Torrey and none
from Ed Smiths gasboat or skiff.
Mrs. McCracken shows the strain
which she has been under, but she
has stood up under the ordeal with
wonderful fortitude and courage in
the face of all she has suffered.
Her husband left her alone at
noon in December l, on their fox
farm at Marsh island, intending to
return the next day. There was no
indication of a storm when he left
but in three hours the island was
in the grip of a gale which took
away the landing float and did
minor damage about the place.
She was alone through the I'M
usual cold for nearly three weeks,
when her stove pipe came to pieces
and resisted all her efforts at re-
pairs. For the ensuing two weeks
she was unable to have a fire or
any cooked food and was about at
the end of her endurance when
Charles Moore of Wrangell saw her
signals and came to he. assistance.
Frank Wyant is taking care of
the foxes and helping about the
island. 1t is Mrs. McCracken's in
tention to remain on the island an
other year until after pelting time,
and then go to her people in Wash
ington.

The Buena Vista Burial Park as

Of men long experienced IN their

park Is one Of the best TO be found
In South Texas. It's founders knew
the elements necessary TO the es-

stones unturned in making the
Brownsville park q model Of Its
kind.
They purchased a fertile site in

found In this vicinity. It's location
II ideal. being surrounded on three
sides by paved highways making 1t
readily accessible in all types Of

under care and improved since
1915. A landscape artist visits the
park at regular intervals, outlining

and other administration expenses.
But all Of these services viii be
entirely reasonable in the local park
association. When you purchase q
lot In Buena Vista park, expenses
end there and you can rest assured
that the lot viii receive perpetual
care. This Is assured by setting aside
a portion Of the original price In q
trust fund. The earnings OF this
trust fund are used to keep the lot
In condition forever. Lot owners
find this system much more rea-
sonable. practical and satisfactory
than the, old method OF q yearly
assessment used in some cemeteries.
Modern principles OF cemetery
administration are largely respons-
ible for the harmony Of landscape
and memorial art which prevails
when individual lots are treated
with no regard for the general ce-
metery vista. Under this modern
administration used at Buena Wis
Ia, the individual plot becomes an
important feature OF the entire ce-
metery landscape and the lot own
er is protected by rules which re-
semble the coming laws in a resi-
Dental community. These rules
prevent the o~ver-crowding OF
paintings and memorials, they per-
manently safeguard the lot owner
from ~detracting features in his sec
ton and they encourage those
ideals of good landscape and MEM
orial art which are today making
the cemetery a place of beauty and
significance In community life.

ORIENTAL FOR
YULE PRESENTS

Christmas shopping can be q gen.
uine pleasure or q perplexing prob
lem, depending on the type Of gifts
you wish to find, and the place you
60 TO find them.
Christmas usually Is a problem to
those persons who are tired Of giving
the same old gifts year after year.
But this Is one year you can gen.
timely surprise your friends with
gifts that are entirely different,
gifts altogether different from any
you have given In the past, and gifts
different from any your friends have
received in the past.
And these unusual gifts, located
as they are at the Oriental Rug and
Gift Shop. at 1874 Elizabeth street,
in Brownsville, make Christmas
shopping a distinct pleasure.
UnusualneSs Is the best one-word
description Of this shop. To be
sure, there r many classes of
articles with which the shopper Is
familiar, such as vases, ornamental
jewelry. tapestries. rugs and fine
laces. but the individual objects In
these general classes are startlingly
different.
Beautiful. ornamental. hand-carv-
ed wood work from China, Japan
and Mexico make up some Of the
most beautiful gifts in the shop. In
the Oriental Rug and Gift Shop may
be found tins latest designs In pot
terry, In glassware, in dinner sets, in
fine laces. and In a thousand other
personal gifts as well as gifts for
the home.
But don't let the fact that as many
OF these gifts are hand made In
far away countries they are expen-
sive. True. many Of them that rep
resent the work Of true artists are
expensive. but you will be surprised
at the low price the Oriental Rug
and Gift Shop Is able to place on
many gifts that are different.
There's no better place to 20 In
the Valley to look for a really diff
ferent, unusual and highly accept
able gift for young girls. women, or
for the home, than at the Oriental
Rug and Git Shop at Brownsville.
The quality and selection, as well
as the price, Of gifts there can only
be appreciated by a visit TO the shop.
The managers are always glad to
have you drop In at the shop and
spend a few hours browsing among
the thousands Of gifts. Such a Wis
1t places you under no obligation
to buy.

MART COM MISSION
READY FOR ACTION
Detectives Employed to Watch
Operations for Violators
Of New Law.

The Securities and Exchange Com
mission, which tomorrow assumes its
full power over the trading marts,
readied itself for the task yesterday,
even to marshaling corps Of stock
market detectives"
Wall Street experts have been Sc
lected by the commission for the
detective" roles to see that manipula-
ton Is curbed. Theoretically, they
will be able to tell, In part, from
watching the ticker tape whether
manipulation Is In progress.
The commissions final preparations
yesterday consisted largely of check
ing lists of registered securities so
that exchanges may know what issues
are eligible for trading. Registration
means that the corporations concerned
have fled statements disclosing GER
tain information about themselves
with the commission. Only such Sc
curities may be traded in legally.
Registration at present, however, is
largely q matter Of form and will
later be made more stringent.
