KETCHIKAN MEN ORGANIZE
 NOVEL HUNT COMPANY

4 novel enterprise, ono eombin- ing the often talked of combina- tion of making use Of airplanes in big game hunting expeditions, is being organized in Ketchikan at the present time, according to the Chronicle
 The ship that is to furnish one end of the new firms work has ar- rived there from Seattle, a six place Bellanca powered with a 45O- horsepower Wasp motor. It made the trip from Seattle in six hours. flying straight through without calling in Canada.
 The firm will consist of the ships pilot Charlie Anderson, Wesley Meyers. we'll known Ketchikan guide and Ed Lynch who is asso- ciated at Ketchikan in salmon trap operations as well as being inter ested in mine properties and logging outfit.
 Tentative plans of the trio call for establishing a hunting lodge in game country and using the plane to service the lodge as we'll as to furnish transportation to hunters making use of it. Headquarters will be in Ketchikan where outside hunters will be able to connect with the plane from steamers from the south
 Entire parties can be placed in hunting country in a minimum of time by this arrangement and will be spared the necessity of tire some hikes and boat trips allow ing more time for actual hunting The lodge itself will be maintained and conducted by MT. Meyers who is well known throughout the dis trict as a veteran guide.
 The airplane used in the ven- ture-one that was the property of the Alaska -Treadwell Mining company-was purchased in Oak land by the Ketchikan men early in December. It was formerly used by the mine firm as Livingstone Werneckeb means of transporta- tion, flown by Charles Gropstis. A larger ship has been purchased by the mining company one that has a larger fuel capacity and can serve better in the long hops between the company's properties that range from California to the Arctic slope.
 The ships new pilot, Charlie An derson, is a former Junkers pilot with over ten years of flying to his credit. With the organization of the new firm, he is locating in Ket- chikan with his family.

THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH

The old Alaska that we once knew has sadly changed with the tncursions of advanced civilization. The Fairbanks News-Miner reports the theft of thermometers hanging outside buildings and of overshoes at social functions something new along with the new deal and other frills. At one time not so many years ago one could leave his goods and even his pocketbook and his watch on top of his cache know ing that it would not be molested. But alas! civilization is here, with oil burners, game licenses and oth- CT new fangled doodads. The old order has changed. Now one must lock his doors, unchain the dog and hide his valuables. Next we will have to place burglar alarms on all our windows,

Mrs. G. l.. DiemarI, writing to the Sentinel under date of Decen,- Der 10 from Towanda, near Wichita. Kansas, the old home of the Die marts to which they returned last year, said in part:

STILL NOT LILY WHITE
CKetchikan Chronicle)

Last year, Ketchikan's police court was filtered with 255 persons charged with being drunk or with some allied offense.
 About a fifth of these got off with suspended sentences or were dismissed. The others enriched the city treasury by some $2000 or served in jail or on chain gang.
 The arrests totaled about one for every 16 of our permanent residents men, women and children.
 It takes no stretch of the inn agination, no excess of moral in dignation, to realize that there were too many drunks. Especially is this true when we realize that the police in Ketchikan are not at all intolerant. They do not gen erally make unnecessary arrests.
 There is no way of estimating how many trunks the police sent or took home without formality of arrest. And to them must be ad- ded the other trunks taken to jail for a few hours only to sober up. mduy Ol lutSG never were udleu lu- to court.
 Advocates of repeal aptly pre- dicted that there would be abuses at first. That there have been abuses in Ketchikan is now more evident than ever. But the people of Ketchikan may rest assured that conditions will not get better. that in fact-they will continue to get worse until the people them selves seek to correct the evils.
 It is to the interest of those fav- bring repeal that conditions may be corr ected, It Is to the interest of the town that eXeesses be avoided. , Unrestrafned, the trunks may well lead us again to some form of pro hibition which may ba stricter and far more irritating than the prohi- DitiOn of the twenties.
 The territorial board of liquor control seems either unable or un- willing to do anything toward restraint. The city police are pow erless to do much more than they have already done unless they have the backing and the sympathy ol the majority-which still are lack ing,

POLITICS GOES THEATRICAL
 By R. J. SURAIT

Radio listeners who happened to be tuned in on short wave station W2XAD Tuesday evening were treated to a new form of political propaganda. The scene was laid in the office of a justice of the peace and the cast included the justice and two young things who wanted 10 be married.
 Hold on a minute" counsels the Justice, in a grave voice. Bet ter think things over before you take on any more obligations. You already owe $170O, you two.'
 We owe $170O?" gasps the youth. "What for?"
 Well, it's like this" the Justice explains. "The gang back there in Washington have been running hog-wild and piled up a deficit of some 30 billion dollars, which ob- ligation, if divided equally among the adult population of the United States would amount to $1700 per capita. You're part of the govern ment.' the Justice concludes, and that's why you owe S17O0."
 Think you can afford to get mar ried now?"
 The youth is immediately taken aback. "Gosh, I never knew that. I guess you're right, we shouldn't get married, owing all that money
 The girl is made of sterner stuff, or maybe the thing is more inn portant to her than the boy friend. This doesn't seem fair to me There iught to be something done about it"
 This is the first of a series of dramatized political exhortations

OPPOSING VIEWPOINTS

An excellent example of the wide gulf which separates opposing viewpoints was afforded last week by the Juneau newspapers, the oe- casion being a Gastineau channel Democrat rally on Jackson Day.
 The Juneau Empire, Democrat, devoted over seven columns, be- sides a long editorial in reporting the affair from an enthusiastic standpoint. The Alaska Press Re publican, used much less space, and no enthusiasm at all. The lead paragraphs of one of the Empires articles under a three line. three column head: Juneau, Douglas Democrats Rally at Jackson Shrine, Begin Campaign for 1936," were as follows:
 Gathering at the shrine of And rev Jackson to pay tribute to a great man. Gastineau Channel Democrats last night launched their 1886 campaign in fervent and eloquent language as they herald ed anew the victories of "Old Hick- ory" of the modern day-FrankliD Delano Roosevelt.
 With words of wisdom and i'm passioned pleas, they nailed again the special interests and the money barons to the cross of gold, and the Terminal Cafe, thei rmeeting place, yibrated to resounding cheers as the Democratic standard was hoist ed once more to the pinnacle in a flow of oratorieal glory
 Throng On Hand
 More than loo strong, men and women, pointed with pride to the accomplishments of the New Deal and reiterated their faith in the doctrine of Jefferson, of Jackson, of Cleveland, of Wilson, and wildly enthusiastic, in the policies of their living Samson, the strong man of '32 and '36-President Roosevelt With typical old time abandon, they leveled their guns on the Re- publicans, hurling into the Grand Old Party's teeth the debacle of '29 and the mistakes of 12 long years before. It was pointed out, under the leadership of Franklin Roos- evelt, the country became rehabil- itated and the people took new lease on life.
 That sterling Democrat, Gov. John w. Troy, sounded the clarion all when he said we always elect a full Democrat ticket at the Jackson Day banquet, sometimes we follow it up and elect a full Demo- cratic ticket at the general cleo tion. We should do it this time"
 At the Wailing Wall
 "The Republicans are propped up against the wailing wall, try ing to sing the swan song of Derio- rracy," declared Judge George r.. Alexander, toastmaster of the even ing. "The din will go until cleo tion day, out then is when the shouting is really going to start as the Democrats move forward in an other great victory"
 With the eloquence of which he is capable, J. A. Hellenthal, anoth- CT first water Democrat, told the cheering throng that Andrew Jack son was elected on platform of honesty ability and integrity and that Franklin Roosevelt will be elected on that same policy of honesty, ability and integrity"
 The Alaska Press reported the rally in an opposite tone which it expanded in editorials for the nex:

Recreational, Social Lie Of Many Montana
Communities Advanced by WPA

Doggy old Woodland Park on the
outskirts Of Kalispell is rapidly being
changed from a worthless mosquito
breeding swamp TO n OF the finest
recreational parks in Montana.
Credit for this beneficial job, local
officials say, must be given to the
WPA. The project is typical of 81
park and playground projects en-
ploying over a thousand workers
and costing S595,022 which have
been prosecuted throughout Mon
tana under the Works Progress Ad-
ministration program.
Early this spring a two-mile drain
age ditch was constructed to elm
mate the swampy condition OF this
large natural wooded area. Then a
mile-long pipe line from the Still
water River was constructed. On
July 81, Mayor J. P. Bruckhauser
opened the valve which turned a
100000 gallon daily stream of fresh,
clear water into the park area. This
changed a series of stagnant sloughs
into a beautiful lake, the shores of
which have been handicapped and
beautified. II will also operate a
dynamo to supply the entire park
