 They stated that they found much pleasure in their outing despite their incessant fighting of mosqui- toes.

 The return trip over the trail was more difficult than the one going in due to the high waters last June having washed out the bridges on the trail.

It being understood that the mach inc had been thoroughly overhauled just before being sent here from Juneau, and it's operation having been reported as satisfactory by street commissioner C. E.

 Beer Licenses Approved
 The applications for beer licenses of Tom Fujita. NJ. L. Skelton, and removal permit of John N Spath was opened for discussion, these ap- lications having been laid on the table at previous meetings as a full council was desired.
 The Mayor expressed his disap- proval of the issuance of any fur ther licenses as did Councilman Bradley. Councilman Campbell ex- pressed himself as neutral but insis. ted that he would not register his vote either way unless the council were unanimous.

He turned to the cupboard and took

CHAPTER TX

For a week Kerry Young made maps,
sitting in the Office with Nan Downer
for hours each day.
Sometimes long intervals would pass
without a word being exchanged.
Again, she would go to him abruptly
with some question and her manner
would betray her profound respect for
his judgment. He had said that he
could do many things in and about the
woods; she learned the truth of his
statement. Intelligent as she was, well
as she had been trained by her far
sighted father, flaws had developed in
her procedure, errors in judgment had
gone undeteeted.
Young did not force his opinions, did
not offer advice. But when she brought
matters TO his attention in which he
discovered flaws he pointed these out

"Why not?" she challenged and, curl

Tip rose then from his place beneath

pursue that question further.

Best Marked Frontier

The best marked frontier in the
world is perhaps that between the
United States and Canada, says An
swers Magazine. From the Lake OF
the Woods in Minnesota right across
TO the Pacific there is no natural boun-
dairy. so the line across the open prai-
rie is marked by iron pillars set Up

so, for its length. this was about the
cheapest of frontiers. Later, however
owing to the number of cattle that
strayed across the boundary line be
tween Montana and Canada, wire
fence, 200 miles long, was built at q
cost of about 100000.

revealing that the 1885 "crime age"
was nineteen years, the United States
bureau of investigation declared that
most criminal youths committed their
crimes because they were in need of
something and were not able to earn
enough money to obtain it honestly.
Social forces and agencies are not
apathetic to the crisis that youth
faces. Indeed several movements are
well under way to arrive at solution
of the problem. Universities, private
business and government are all in the
battle, and among the leaders are such

first voters assuming the party aIIe-'
giances of their fathers which has pre-
vailed in the United States for so long.
But youth of 1886 is going to vote with
a mind of its own.
There are obvious reasons for this.
Times have changed. The party now in
power is not the Democratic party as
the fathers of these young men and
women knew it. 1t has transcribed old
party boundaries in a number of ways.
1t is reasonable TO suppose that good
share of the youths who might have
cast their vote for an old guard Demo-
cratic candidate will vote Republican

Parties Organize Youth.

IL you live on a farm or are at all
observing, you know horses and cattle
get up from the ground differently.
SAYS a writer in Pathfinder Magazine.
A horse rises on its front feet first,
while COW rises first on its hind ones.
An Englishman has theory to explain
this. He says the difference is due to
the different surroundings in which
the animals were evolved.

next fall. By the same token the New
Deal, with its yigor and sweeping OPP
Grafton appealing to youth of GER
tain type, will draw some votes which
would have been Republican in the
old days.
Parties Organize Youth.
Both parties are well along toward
organizing the younger voters in the
campaign. Democrats of the ages of
about twenty-one to forty are being
induced to join the Young Democratic
Clubs of America, under Frank Wick
hem of Sioux Falls, S. D., while the
Young Republicans are being organized
by ]. Kenneth Bradley, former state
senator in Connecticut, and Miss Dolly
Madison.
Naturally the two movements must
operate under different conditions. The
marty in power is in control of federal
patronage and rewards for party serv-
ice. and can work its campaign on that
basis. The other party must base its
appeal largely on principles and is
sues.
With American youth holding so
much weight in the political balance,
il would not be amiss to review the
situation in which this class finds it.
self today.
According to information supplied by
the National Youth Administration,
there are in this country approximate
" 100000 persons between the ages
of sixteen and twenty-five. Thirty-four
per cent of these millions are "out OF
work. out of school or in relief faml-
lies" About 100000 are working or
are in school. 1t is estimated that ap-
proximately 100000 of the young peo-
ple now beisg supported by relief have
never had any kind of jobs Figures
released by the international Labor
Office at Geneva, Switzerland. few
months ago indicated that one-fourth
of all the persons in the world listed as
unemployed were less than twenty
five years of age.
Blame Idle Youth for Crime.
The 100000 youths unemployed in
the United States today present
grave social problem, as well as an
economic one (This figure must not be
confused with the total of SooO.oOo
