BOARDWAY ASSIGNS CANNERY
 FOR BENEFIT OF CREDITORS

Creditors of '. L. Boardway & Co were notified today that Mr Boardway had made assignment of the business to F. c Hanford. EA- eerpts from the letter received by creditors follow.
 A survey of the business reveal Is that the company is insOlvent. their liabilities amounting to approxi- mately $1O,000. with very little liquid assets. The company has, however, a very valuable long term lease of the plant from the Town of Wrangen, but which unless it can be kept in operation, will be forfeited In the meantime the plant Is being kept in operation in a small way and has made very satisfactory showing under such temporary arrangement.
 A recent informal meeting of several of the largest creditors was held to outline some workable solu- tfon and it was the consensus of those present that the business should incorporate. giving all cred itors the privilege of accepting cap ital stock at par value for the amount of their claims, or agree ing to accept their pro-rated pay ment from a separate fund into cent of the total sales for that pur- cent of the total sales for that pur- pose.
 More than 50 percent of cred itors in volume have expressed their willingness to accept stock in the proposed company. regarding which creditors are assured that it will be efficiently managed under the direction of a Board of Directors and that no salaries or compensa- tion will be paid to any person or persons excepting for actual sery- ices rendered, until all the out standing liabilities have been liq- quidated.
 Your attention Is directed tn the fact that unless all the cred itors agree to the plan as outlined that the only other course left open will be bankruptcy, and by which creditors will receive nothing"

Boat Cleanliness Imnerative

Boat Cleanliness Imperative
 Here is what my crew does to make sure our part Is taken care of Our first irouclad rule is to deliver the fish every day no mat ter how small the catch is We make sure that the skin of the hold Is tight. then we thoroughly clean the boat after each delivery. Lots of water is used with plenty of pressure. and the hold -espeoial- ly the corners thoroughly scrub- bed with a stiff brush or broom. \ good securing of the boats after every delivery of fish will save losses which sometimes amount Ia considerable money because fisher men are not able to deliver fish .n prime condition Green said. "I understand that many of the can neries are now supplying antisept't solutions for spraying the hold after it has been washed"
 We also see that the fish hold is. clean and dry before more fish are picked up. If the bilge is moi thoroughly clean, gases will be generated that drift up and per meate the fish. Fish SO affected ab- sorb the odor. and an unappetizing lot of Canned Salmon is the result. Even if seizures do not follow. good customers are lost, and the stability of the Industry and employment in Alaska seriously undermined.
 We feel sure that the applica- tion of a lot of "elbow grease" and plenty of water to the holds of the fishing boats, followed by libersl sprinkling of salt, every time a lot of fish is delivered helps to keen Alaska Canned Salmon a product the housewives of the Tniled States 1 can buy wnth confidence"

side, and further In the light fared yellow. The
narrow crevice-as If the earth had split to
form a low Gothic nave-ran due east, level,
slippery hall of stone, higher than Tony's head,
and wide enough to admit them.
They hesitated at the onening. The wraith-lke
Mr. lesson was inside, mumbling, probably, over
a medieval chest of loot. In a full dress suit!
Formal attire which in the fantastic CLINT of
the moon, had looked pressed and Clean When
a hermit inspects his hoard fitted out for
ballroom when he waits for three nights to
find certain mysterious portents-well, there
was a chilly feeling about the business.
But they were close to discovery Within this
dripping cave lay the riddles answer Gold OF
course; or someone's famous jewels.
Both Tony and Bill thought of going back,
over the friendly grass, up the trail and home,
To go home without knowing-or on TO adven-
ture?
It was Tony who impulsivey stepped inside
II he'd waited longer they would both have run
away Bill came close behind him. The turn In
the passage was not far; they came to 1t, bal
anced against the wet rock side to keep from
slipping Their bare feet were cammy and their
hands sweating The low tunnel broke sharply
to the left, then curved back again. They fol-
lowed 1t, breathing through their open mouths.
The light grew stronger, as the final turn halted
them. The cave ran further still. 1t emptied, as
1t seemed into a round, small room.
4 Ar. JEsSON knelt there. About him ranged
NJ hundred small candles, sputtering and
dancing with fame. Before his thin body rose
a low altar hung with rich lace-work; on this
stood two tremendous cathedral candles in
bronze bowls. Between these, slightly tipped and
resting against the rock wall was the portrait
Of O woman
The intruders were too far away to more
than that 1t a woman-a girl perhaps.
Her face, in the distance, was lovely-framed
In curious halo Of dark hair.
The old man kneeled. His black suit would
be muddy tomorrow. His worn boots stood out
behind him, ugly guardians to his shrine. Mr.
lessons head bowed seemed to nod tiredly. His
back was toward them, and doubtless his ears
strained for softly-breathed sounds other than
their tense listening.
Tony pulled at Bills arm. Come on home,"
he said quietly. He hasn't any treasure"

She drove directly back to the hotel and went
to her room. Jose was mystifed Something
was happening to him and he didn't know what
1t was. He was being fool! He wanted to
shake of the whole thing-forget about this
American woman-but he couldn't.
For six days, always at the same hour, Lenore
Justin drove to La BocG. She never varied her
procedure Each night Jose followed. He was
the victim Of strange, unexplainabe obsession
1t was as though he were hypnotized-and by
a woman who apparently didn't even know he
was alive! She never even glanced his way!
Yet nothing ne could do seemed to change the
situation. He would wake in the night to
the untouched glass of cognac on the table be-
fore her at Ell Toro or the crepe-like veil she
wore futtering in the breeze as she walked to a
waiting cab. Again and again he told himself
that things like this didn't happen. Could he
Jose Francisco be losing his mind? He crossed
himself offering up hurried prayer. The situ-
alton was really amusing, he told himself. He
tried to laugh, but the sound died in his throat
He would not follow this woman again! He
would forget her completely! But that night
when she drove up to Ell Toro, Jose was loiter-
ing in the shadows, waiting.
This night was the same as all the others
except for one thing. Just before Lenore Justin
left, a man, native Argentine, middle-aged
nondescript, stopped for moment at her table,

moon sent a shaft of cold light between the
oaks; it glanced across his outlined face, and
left his tall figure covered in blanket of dark
ness Then he faded into the cabin. He seemed
to conclude that the moon was too bright, or
the air too cool; perhaps the stars were un-
favorable 1t certainly not beyond him to
read the heavens-unless he was mad. And,
madman might know the stars better than most
Whatever it was he found it unsuitable
Like a starved eagle staring over cliff, he
peered out upon a vacant world,-seemed to
wait with Incompatible patience for an easy
prey that his .creaking frame might seize. Per-
haps he felt the two boys watching behind the
big oak 1t was all very well to say that the
old man saw nothing but black trees and the
moon, that he felt only the air from the ocean.
1t was more than that; he was waiting.
THE fourth night his door opened soundlessly.
Mr lesson stood tensely an instant, clad In
full dress sultan actor making his entrance.
He stepped through the dry grass, and walked
quickly down the hill.
Tony and Bill waited. He must not hear them.
When he was almost lost in the shadow of the
canyon, they followed. He went by no path, but
zig-zagged toward a shallow creek.
There they might have missed him, for the
narrow gulch was thckly wooded. But their
quarry stumbled over a FOCk. gave LHeHl
direction, and then his boots clumped up the
pebbled bed of the creek. Twice he stopped to
listen. In winter and springtime small tor

took told them his position In the quiet grass
above him they kept pace.
Deep in the willows Mr.. lesson struck

They heard two steps gravel, and the candle
disappeared.
Come on" Tony whispered
Stealthily, careful Of branches and squirrel
holes they reached the creek bed. Off came their
shoes bare feet made no sound. Then around
the base of boulder glowed a light very dim.
They paused, crossed to the far side of the rock;
the candles glow came from passage cutting
into the edge Of the canyon.
