Railroad Official
 Sees 1936 Gain
 in Transportation

NEW YORK, Jan. T. L. A. Downs, President of the Illinois Central system, in a survey of 1885 declared his railroad was well pre- pared to meet the expected 193s demand for transportation service as result of extensive recondi- tioning in the past year.
 Cars of freight handled the first Il months of 1885 were more than 5, per cent over the same period of 1884, more than l2 per cent over the same period of 1883 and near ly Il per cent over the same period of 1882" he said.
 Passenger traffic. he stated, was about even with 1884 in the first 10 months of 1895 but nearly 35 per cent higher than the 1883 per- iod, the first Century of Progress Exposition year. Also figured into 1884 travel were reduced fares and traffic resulting from the second exposition in Chicago.
 k "The number of new industries established on the Illinois Central system during 1885 seemed likely to reach 200, an increase of 27 per cent over 1884. of 79 per cent over 1883 and of IFS per cent over 1892, ' he continued. "The new capital in- vested in these industries during 1885 was expected to reach $13,- 000,000.o

|WINcARD HERE TO BE GIN WORK
 FOR NEW SEASON
Fisheries Bureau Alaska Agent Will Co to Wash
 ington in Few Days

i Returning to the north to super wise the start of construction work the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries is un- dertaking under Federal emergency funds applicable, L. G. Wlngard. AL aska Agent for the Bureau, arrived in Juneau aboard the Bureau vessel Brant at l IS o'clock this afternoon. With Wingard aboard, the Brant, which berthed at the Government dock under direction of Capt. Will liam Olson, were Wardens Fred Lucas and William Berry, who will be here for time in connection with 1 the new fish ladder work and other bureau activities.
 While coming past Grand Island this morning, the Brant sighted three persons on the beach apparently try ing to flag her, as if they were in distress. The Brant pulled in as close as possible but due to rough seas was unable to contact the peo- pie, so radioed the Coast Guard Tallapoosa which left here shortly before noon for the scene.
 Regulations Meet Favor
 MT. Wingard reported the hear ings held with purse seiners, pack CTS and small gear operators in Sc. attle during December were especial lv satisfactory. and Ward T. Bower, Chief of the Division of Alaska Fish cries, and Commissioner Frank T. Bell, who conducted the hearings. left for Washington about three weeks ago where draft of the regu- lations for this year will be com pleted. Reactions at the hearings. he reported, were favorable and there was little objection to last years regulations. With some minor chang es, it is anticipated the same regula- tions will be in effect this season.
 Here Three Days
 The Alaska Agent will be here but three days getting the new work under Federal setup started and then will leave for the south aboard the Brant, going direct to Washington, D. O., where he will assist and offer further suggestions in compiling the final regulations for the coming sea- son.
 Among the projects to be under taken by the Bureau are building of a fish ladder at Pavlof Harbor in Freshwater Bay and construction aC Anan Creek to aid salmon ascent. En route north Wingard stopped for few hours at Ketchikan, Peters burg and Wrangell.

found the woman's husband in his cabin. The latter drank heavily, De- Groot said, and made several threats on his life. Later DeGroot persuaG- ed Hansen to take him back to Hirs0 Chichagof aboard his boat, and Mrs. DeGroot accompanied them
 When they tied up beside McIver's ooa at Hirst-C -Chichagof, another drinking party was held aboard the Mclver craft, and Hansen made more threats, according to DeGroot The accused man claimed he (De- Groot) grabbed McIver's rifle from the cabin wall and shot Hansen when he believed the latter was about to kill him with a revolver.
 '.All False
 Mrs. KirkiDo's first testimony, largely corroborating the DeGroot account was read by Faulkner, but the woman claimed that 1t was "alI false and carefully rehearsed with her former husband.
 She said she decided to tell the truth after her husband was in, McNeil Island, when she learned what kind of man he was" Re- turning from Seattle after visiting him in prison, she met the court party enroute to Juneau from Ket- chikan. and told them that if there was a retrial she would testify diff ferently. DeGroot's appeal was then pending.
 Admits Threats
 Mrs. Kirkibo, wife of an Al en- ploye, admitted under Faulkner $ cross-questioning that Hansen did make threats against her husband. but remained unshaken in her as- sertion that her previous testimony was nearly all untruths.
 Louis A. Smith, U. s. Commission CT at Chichagof, was on the stand at the noon recess today and told of investigations made following the crime,
 The case is expected to go to the jury tomorrow or the following day.

Has Fallen For

BY LYDIA CALVERT
CHAPTER 10


I found out one thing definitely
about Robert Taylor.
Rornantically he has his feet
on the ground.
Ia his own words he "haS no
intention of getting married" ."
Hes not even thinking about 1t.
Z Let's face the Barbara Stan
wick issue right now. I had seen
them lunching together in the
commissary, laughing and chat
ting like a pair of kids; had
read rumors about their affair;
I had heard gossip. But the ex-
planation that 1 heard right on
the lot from those who know
them best, sounded most plauS-
ible to me:
Hes just a susceptible kid.
The proximity in His Brothers
Wife was terrific, and he fell,
rs any other red-blOOded young
man would. He'll keep on fall
ing for his leading ladies for a
while but that doesn't mean
he's going to marry any OF
them"
That Barbara Stanwyck Woulo'
Mt make him q splendid wife
is not a point of issue. They agree
that being older and wiser, she
would. But it's Bob. He doesn't
want a wife at all right now.
Songs of Love
It was like that at Doane Col.
lege. It was co-educational ana
Bob sang lifting love songs Co
the girls on summer nights. He
danced with them and sat out
under the big Nebraska moon. He
had his full quota Of flirtatlonS-
but love?-never-at least, ne
never fell in love.
He was more concerned then,
as he is now. with the future
what he was going to make OF
himself and how he was going
to do it. He was at the cross
roads. On one side the medical
profession beckoned. Another
road courted him with sweet
strains of the cello.
Makes Decision
He consulted his parents. What
could he do that would please
them most? The answer was
always the same:
ITS your life. It's your de-
ciSiOn. Nobody can make it
for you"
"But then 1 felt the need for
0 decision" said Robert. II
suddenly got very, very tired Of
liberal arts. decided that law
wasn't for me. l never really
thought music , was my forte.
Dramatics were only q hobby.
That left medicine"
He decided to become a doctor
like his father and to transfer to
Kirksville, where his father had
been graduated, and so, with that
decision, he wrote his parents.
But, though his father treasured
the feeling that prompted Robert
to write the letter, he know in his
wisdom that it was not the wiSaSt
course. The boy had started some
thing and he must finish it. He
wrote his son accordingly:
'It Is my suggestion that you
finish at Doane, son. There is
time enough for a definite de-
cisiOn. What you are acquiring
there will do you no harm when
you get to Kirksville."
At the end of his sophomore
year Grey was transferred to
