 This appropriation bill contains an item of $780, 677,899 for rivers and har- Dor work.

 While it is within the pow CT of the Chief of Engin- eers and the Secretary of War to choose any projects which have been approved by Congress, including the Alaska projects which were carried by tie Rivers and Harbors bill passed last year, it is extremely pro- bable that this appropria- tion of $1O0,000, 1000 if not increased in the Senate, will be used exclusively for projects which have been heretofore commenced but not completed since in many cases it is necessary to continue work on such projects in order not to lose the value of what already has been done.

 You are hereby required to ap- pear in the District Court for the Territory of Alaska, Second Divi- sion, within thirty (30) days af- ter the last publication of this Summons, namely within thirty days from the 18th day of March, 1886, in case this Summons is published, or within forty (40) days after the service of this Summons upon you, in case this Summons is served upon you per sonally, and answer the con- plaint of the above-named plain tiff on file in said Court in the above-entitled action.
 The plaintiff in this action de- mands the following relief: A decree dissolving the bonds of matrimony now existing between the plaintiff and defendant upon the grounds of incompatibility of temperament, and, also, for an order awarding the care and GUS tody of Ralph Chapman, the min or son of plaintiff and defendant, to plaintiff;
 And in event you fail to ap- pear and answer, the plaintiff will take judgment against you for want thereof and will apply to the Court for the relief de- manded in her complaint, as above stated.

harbor work that has been heretofore authorized by Congress. and this amount does not include the Passa- |maquoddy tidal power pro- iect which is estimated to cost $38,732, 900, nor the Atlantic-GuIf ship canal across Florida, estimated to cost 8,000,000.
 When the bill was under consideration in the House, attempt was made by seV- eral Members to earmark portions of the total appro- priation for rivers and har- bors work in their respect i've districts but all such at tempts were voted down overwhelmingly.
 It is possible that some misunderstanding has aris- en in Alaska over the re- port of the Chief of Engin- eers for 2935. This report lists all the Alaska projects which have been approved by Congress in the 1885 Ri vers and Harbors Bill and as to each project carries an item of the amount that can be profitably expend- ed in the fiscal year 1937 for new york; With res pect to most of the projects the amounts carried in these several items en- brace the entire cost, but in the case of the CordoVa small boat harbor project fthe total amount estimated to complete the work is $295 000, while the amount recommended to be spent for the fiscal year l5a : is set at $180.000. This does not mean thas the ? 0 ie't will not be completed or that the estimate has been changed but rather it is re- commended that the work be spread over two years with an expenditure of $180,000 the first year and the balance the succeeding year.
 Similarly with respect to the harbor at Nome, Alas ka. It is estimated that $35,0OO can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1887. However, in this case the report of the Chief of Engineers contains the following statement: "The extension of the jet ties is not urgently needed at this time" Y

tourist traffic which is passing through
that area this Summer. One going into the

LOCAL OPTION ELECTIONS

Dry sentiment made considerable progress, work
ing through local option elections, for the year
1885, as compared with 1884, according to ma
tion-wide survey made by the United States Brew
ers' association which shows that for the perlod
there was an increase of 149 per cent IN the num-
Der of towns and of ga per cent in the number OF
counties voting dry.
The check says news story in the New York
Times, was the most comprehensive of its kind TO
be made since the repeal of the 18th amendment
and even in states like New York, New Jersey ana
Connecticut dry sentiment made marked head"ay
for the years period as compared with the preced-
ing year. The survey summarizes: comparative
identical figures for 32 states show that out OF l.
83S counties, $50 voted dry in the repeal poll. IN
1884 wet sentiment had gained considerably and
only "a counties and 246 towns were in the dry
column. In the survey just completed, total OF
1873 counties and GA towns have been dried up by
local option elections"

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NEW DEAL MISTAKES

William Hard, in the Redbook magazine, con-
cedes that the New Deal means WE'LL but goes for
ward mistakenly. ~ say that the idealsts OF the
New Deal are idealists with poor and bad methods.
I saw that, except insofar they change those
methods they are on their way to running precisely
What they most wish to rescue: the mass of Amerl-
can mankind They are doing this because of a
deep primary error which they cannot shake OF.
They are doing it because-exactly like their chief
in his San Francisco speech of 1932-they think
that our American industrial system has come to
its growth and can grow no more.
without realizing it, they are anti-progressves.
Without realizing it, they are standpatters. They
then naturally put obstacles in the way of the IN
dustrial new What we need at bottom In Wash
ington is men who know that industrial old IS
a small matter in comparison with the industrial
new which this country produce and distribute
What we need is men with eaping faith in this
country's limitless future"
Mr. Hard, veteran political reporter, para
phrases the warning that America should not be
sold short 1t is just that that the New Deal Is
doing however blind it may be to its policy OF
manacng industry These high taxes which must
mount are letters, shackles upon industry. If IN
dustry is to recover under the New Deal, it must
recover in spite of the political bungling. 1t is
waste of breath to discuss these things with New
Deal benefciaries, of course.-Charleston News

TOURIST BUSINESS COMES BACK

Expectations of the people OF Hender-
sonville and this section who are engaged
in the entertainment of visitors are beng
realized this season. Competent observers
estimate this business is double the volume
done last year. Better business was antlcl-
mated and plans were made for it. Dlsap-
pointment-especially in late years-has
so often followed the great expectations Oh
that portion of the population catering to
visitors, that everyone is disposed to re-
ioice with them in the fact that improved
business is a reality this season.
Large crowds of Summer residents ana
visitors of all the classes composing the
Summer patronage of HendersonVille and
the surrounding country have been IN evil
dence throughout the season; and the the NUM-
her of visitors has been steadily increasing
The peak of the Summer season is expect
ed during the next six weeks and 1t IS De
lieved many visitors will remain here Tor
some or all of the Autumn season, ana
others will come to enjoy the beautiful ana
delightful days of Fall.
The tourist business in HendersonVlne
and the Hendersonville territory is BOOM
ing again. AS far as The Times-News is in
formed, this is true of the entire mountain
region of North Carolina. This will be re-
corded as splendid year for business in

she got very tough about it, she

England now has to worry ov.r
the possibility that the next time
Germany makes an overt move

ECHOES of the Dark Ages come
from the slopes of mountain
peninsula in Greece that juts in.
to the north Aegean Sea. There
rises Mt. Athos, the Holy Noun
tain, on which some 1000 monks
have joined in a sort of unique
religious republic, from which all
females, even female animals, are
excluded. Twenty large monas-
teries are there, each with its own
ruler, and all rulers form a coun-
Gil that governs the strange land.
First under the benign influence
Of Greece, then of Turkey, about
1000 years ago, and now back in
Greek hands, the monks keep
themselves entirely apart from
the world, completely in ignor-
ance of events outside. Mostly
Greeks, the order also attracted
Serbs, Bulgars. and Russians who
sought the sequestered life. To
them the sin of sins is sex; ac-
cordingly, all women, and even
cats, cows, and hens are barred.
to keep the Holy Mountain clean,
godly, and thoroughly masculine.
