Wade's reported intentions and feel
that it would be to the advantage of
both Wade and Abernethy if he
would recommend the appointment of
Eure to fill out his unexpired term
rather than to ask the governor to
name Abernethy as secretary of state

TOM MIX CIRCUS IS. 4
DELIGHTFUL ONE
Tom Himself Is Biggest
Single Attraction In En-
tire Performance

Tom Mix's circus came to town
Saturday and at two performances de-
lighted large Henderson audiences.
1t was the largest show of the kind
to exhibit here this season so far, and
gave a program that had some that
was new and much that was old.
But it all delighted the crowds, for
the circus never grows boring and
never too old or commonplace to look
at, regardless of what they say that
if you've seen one you've seen them
ALL Maybe so, but Henderson audi
ences wanted to see the circus again
Saturday.
Tom Mix was a favorite of the at
fractions offered. He rode around
the track several times at different
times and gave an exhibition of his
craftsmanship that brought back
memories of his days in the movies,
where he became nationally known
and popular, and where nearly every
one has seen him at different times.
The clowns were unusually clever
for circus of this size. The mimic
bullfight, in which dogs were dressed
like the matador's victims, gave the
appearance of reality on a small
scale.
The trapeze workers, the wire walk
ers and aerial performers in general
offered the crowds many thrills, and
the trained animals, especially the
female elephant were very good One
wished that Tom Mix might have
been more prominent at intervals,
but his part of the program got
big hand all the way.
The show came to Henderson from
Reldsville and left in the early hours
Sunday for Norfolk. It did what was
considered a fairly good business in
Henderson.

Warren, %, and Wilson, 116. The lar
gest number of convictions in Lenior

fines and sentences imposed Icy the

nave a reputation here as having
judges who are very "easy" on drunk
en- and reckless drivers.
1t is not always the case of course
but usually where a county or re-

for being hard on drunken and reck-
less drivers, especially if thew hand

there is a decided drop in drunken
driving Hocutt said.

Does Not Like System of Bo okkeeping Regard
 ing Expenditures

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. IT. - Former President Hoover last night in an address at a Republican rally, accused the Roosevelt Administra- tion with Juggling financial re- ports of the Government to make the expenditures look less than they are"
 The New Deal. Hoover said, "has three formulas for making expendit- ures look less than they are.'
 He listed these as: first-omitting certain items from the list of regu- lar expenditures and placing them in an appendix of the Budget sec ond-deducting certain expenditures before the total is made up, which is announced to the public; third using money from relief funds for other purposes.
 Hoover charged the New Deals bookkeeping is flor political purpos- es and rnisle ding the people through implication as to what theiI expenditures are likely to be in the future"

Alaska Railroad a Experii.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-word that business and industry in Alas ka is enjoying a boom is brought to the National Capital by Col. Otto F. Ohlson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad and Ike P. Taylor Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission.
 Col. Ohlson has arrived to ask for an increase in appropriation for the Alaska Railroad. He said Mining activities have increased and the tourist traffic this year is up 46 per cent over last season. The season just, closing has been wonderful and the Alaska Railroad has more than paid operating ex- penses, but several wooden bridges need replacement with steel struc- tures."
 Col Ohlson said Alaska, espec- ially in the Railroad belt, exported extra food when the Maritime strike was threatened and had three months reserve on hand by October 1.
 Chief Engineer Taylor said some increases" have been asked for AL aska highways especially for roads vital to open a virgin country There is no competition with the railroad as the highways are built to serve as feeders for it's lines. "

PROSPECTS FOR
 HERR. OF YUKON NEVER BRIGHTER
Jeckell Says There Is No Unemployment Ac-
 tivity Is General

OTTAWA, Oct. IT. = George A Jeckell, Comptroller of the Yukon Territory, said prospects there are brighter than for many years.
 The Yukon Territory is the only large section of Canada, Jackell said, that is without unemploy- ment.
 Mining activity, improved gold and silver prices, introduction of more efficient mining and pros- pecting methods, and better trans portation facilities, hace brought about the upswing, Jeckell said
 New drills and the gas engine op- eration have made practicable a far more extensive test of drilling than previously, resulting in the discovery of areas rich in gold where the old-time prospectors thought there was not any.
 Seven Dredges in Dd,0son
 I've never seen conditions better in the Territory from the stand point of renewal in mining opera tions and employment Jackell said.
 ''The Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation is expending two and half million dollars this year in the Dawson area in one of the largest mining expansion programs during the past many years. At the present time the company is oper- ating seven dredges. Two new dredges are being constructed this season-one on Sulphur, one on Do- minion. There is every possibility that third dredge will be built in the near future. Every person in the Dawson district is working this season.
 Questioned regarding his recent five-day visit to Mayo, the comp troller said he enjoyed it very much. He made car trip to Keno Sunday in company with Govern ment Agent J. D. Gallagher and in- spected parts of the Silver King road. In MT. Jeckell's opinion, the future of. the silver camp looks ex- ceedingly bright at the present time.
