Search by police was continued
today for Charles L. Miller, taxi
cab driver and formerly a widely
known contractor, who has been
missing since Tuesday.
Fear that Miller had been slain
was expressed when police were
notified that his cab had been
abandoned by two colored men at
Tenth Street and Rhode Island

 By Scientific Research In AleutianS

from Fairbanks and reported them doing fine. There is considerable crossing of caribou and reindeer at Nuniyak, Warden Jewell reported. The people there have a peculiar mode of living, the men living in their own quarters and the women apart In the later years family life is becoming established to de gree and there are some instances now where families live together. but the old custom is still prevalent. The native inhabitants hunt and fisl with spears as of old and are gocl basket makers and ivory workers. There too, the only fuel is drift wood.
 In the bird life field. in which Dr. Nitric was making a special study he found proof that the European teal, which resembles the teal duck found in thls country, nests in the Aleutians. Also the common variety of mallard makes it a nesting ground as do redheads and blue bills. Scarcity was mo- ticed at the nesting grounds and Dr. Nitric attributed this in a large de- gree to the universal scarcity of game birds throughout the world. He found evidence of the Emperor goose of the Arctic coming as far south as the Aleutians and four varieties of Elder ducks make it their breeding grounds. One of the reasons for the Islands being 90 adaptable for wild bird nesting, pr. Nitric said, is the complete absence of rodents except where they have been imported by fox farmers. It is land of sea mammals rather than .and mammals, he said.
 The fox farmers had an excellent year last year. Warden Jewell re- ported, and this season promises to be as good. The Aleutians produce the famous Alaska blue fox. They run wild on the various islands which are under lease to the farm CTS and forage their own food. Dr Nitric found them to be beachcOmb- CTS to large degree and one of the objectives of the study is to determ- inc just what they eat and then to promote those conditions under which they thrive best.

 Warden Jewell brought in about 500 beavers, 50 foxes and one swan skin which he seized from law vi1. lators and about 20 rifles taken from aliens. Jewell went south or the Brown Bear and will meet Mrs Jewell in Seattle. The couple wit enjoy a vacation before returning 1 north in about a month, Execu, tive Officer Frank Dufresne also went to Seattle on the Brown Beal to supervise the beginning of heI overhaul.

GAME WARDEN SEIzEs GUNS
 ON CANADIAN FISHING BOAT

Deputy Game Wal den Clarence Rhode while on a Sitka and West Coast patrol aboard the Game Com mission vessel Seal, boarded at Port Alexander a Canadian fishing boat, the MS. Tramp, and confiscated a rifle and shotgun found.
 The owner could give no good reason or emergency cause why he should be in American waters without papers, and he pulled an chor and went to sea immediately after the Deputy Warden had left the boat.
 Several other boats also believed to be of Canadian registry went to sea at the same time.
 Reports of residents on the south part of Baranof Island indicate that Canadian fishing boats frequently pull into coves nearby, and it is be- lieved they have been going there to hunt.

FINE PLATINUM YIELDS IN
 G0ODNEWS BAY DISTRICT

Platinum mining activities in the Goodnews Bay district this season are on a more extensive scale than ever before and are sure to be eX- banded to much greater proportions, Irving Mex Reed. mineral survey or and mining engineer. told the News-Miner on his return from the district to Fairbanks
 MT. Reed was checking drilling operations on Salmon Creek for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. He employed six men in the work.
 "Operatirg properties in tae Goodnews Bay district will have fine outputs this season." MT. Reed declared. "The mineral yield is platinum. which now is worth s6O ali ounce, 1 am informed.
 "The principal operating com pauies are the Goodnews Mining Company, on Squirrel Creek, and the Clara Creek Mining Company, on Clara Creek. Both these streams are tributaries of Salmon Creek.
 ''The Goodnews Mining Company is working with dragline equipment anG employs 25 men. The company besides its holdings on Squirrel Creek owns ten miles of ground on Salmon Creek. It contemplates put ting in a dredge on Salmon. and iH this connection may be partly fi- nanced by the FEC
 "The Clara Creek Company is composed of Col. o. F. Ohlson, Da. yid Strand5erg and the Gustafsou Brothers. The company is also working with dragline equipment and employs 20 men. Both com. panies have the finest accomoGa. tions for their employees that have seen in Alaska.

THAT TWO-THIRDs RULE

In 1882 a Democratic President decided to have his party's conVen- tion (the first it had ever held) re- nominate him and along with that decision he directed that the Iom- ination of his running mate should be made by vote of two-thirds of the convention delegates.
 One hundred and four years lat CT a Democratic President decided to have his party's convention re- nominate him an along with that action he brought about the aboli- ton of the century-old "twO-thirds rule"
 The man who originated that dis rinctively Democratic institution was Andrew Jackson. The man who ended it's existence was Frank lin D. Roosevelt.
 Jackson had selected his secre- tary of state, Martin Van Buren, for the position of yice-president. The senate had only recently rejected Van Burens appointment as minis ter to Great Britian and "Old HicK- ory" thought it would square ac- counts with that body to have the Red Fox" preside over it. Also yice-presidents in those days usual ly succeeded to the Presidency through regular election and Jack son wanted Van Buren to be hi7 successor.
 So when his party prepared to nold its first convention in Baltl- more in 1882, Jackson wrote out this resolution which he gave to one of his lieutenants to present tc the delegates:
 Resolved, That each State shall be entitled, in the nomination of 8 candidate for the Vlce-Presidency to a number of votes equal to tho number to which they will be ell titled in the Electoral College un der the new apporrionment in vet ing for President and Vice-Frest dent; and that two-thirds of tn. convention shall be necessary tC constitute a choice"
 The Baltimore convention was a. completely dominated by Jackson q! the recent Philadelphia meeting was controlled by Roosevelt so th' delegates obediently adopted th' resolution. During Jackson's life time several efforts were made tC abolish the rule but all of them fail ed. After his death it became al but sacred and for the next hun dred years the shadow of Andrew Jackson, in the form of this rule hung over every Democratic con Vention.

FARM WIVES OF
TODAYHAVE MUCH
MORE FREEDOM

With old-fashioned drudgery ban
ished from her kitchen by modern
equipment, and more than half her
cooking hours Topped off by new ia
cilities, today's farm wife is turning
her attention toward greater cultural
attachments and more recreation.
In all parts of the country. mod
ern rural women are finding more
time for educational pursuits, club
life, reading, and numerous other ac-
tivities that come with increased
leisure time. Classes, both private
and public, are attracting large num-
bers of these women who desire to
acquire various arts and higher learn
ing. In many places, the latest
books and magazines, and literature
of all types, are brought to rural
communities in libraries on wheels,
affording these areas the opportuni-
ties enjoyed by persons living near
city libraries.
Much of this freedom from the
farm kitchen is due to the develop
ment of the gasoline pressure stove
which offers the rural resident all
the advantages of the best city gas
stoves. Where it formerly required
hours Of hard work for farm wom-
an TO kindle a poky coal or wood fire
and prepare a simple meal, she now
takes only a few minutes to prepare
any dish she likes. She has instant
and intense heat at the strike of a
match, and a simple turn of valve
gives her any cooking heat she de-
sires.
Progressive rural women every
where are enjoying hours Of freedom
their mothers scarcely dreamed of,
and they are using those hours to
attain richer, fuller lives for their
own Joy and the benefit of their fam
lilies.

Yellow Public Enemies.

LTHAT is it has turned them from
w cop-killing braves into quivering
wretches who cover in hiding like mice
behind a wainscot, who finch like
trapped rabbits when they're smoked
out, who whine like whipped cur-dogs
for a chance to plead guilty?
Can it be because, instead Of cour-
ageous but inexperienced local officers,
they now face trained man-hunters
who'd rather destroy such human YER
min than eat pie? Or is it because
instead of going to trial in state courts
where INSCRIPTIONS shysters may trick
dazed jurors into showing mistaken
mercy and where, even though convict
ed. there's nothing ahead worse than
temporary detention in some criminal
coddling retreat with sentimental med
dlers to pamper them and mush-mind-
ed parole boards waiting to free them,
now they get full measure of stern
justice from federal judges and 60
to real prisons, to stay there-hurrah !
till they're good and dead?
