TROY, D|M0ND APPEAL DIRECT
 TO PRESIDENT
Secretary Perkins Ra dios | U. 5. Effort Being Made to Avert Shipping Tieup
GOVERNOR, DELEGATE
 STRESS EFFECT HERE
Urge Arrangements toBring Necessities North in
 Event of Strike

Direct appeal to President Frank lin D. Roosevelt for intervention of the government in an effort to avert the pending maritime strike on the Pacific Coast which would have a drastic result in Alaska was made last night by. Gov. John w. Troy and Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. In event of strike they asked ex- clusion of Alaska.
 This morning both officials were in receipt of radiograms from Mrs. Frances Perkins pointing that gov- ernmental effort was being made to bring about a settlement.
 Mrs. Perkins message to the Gov ernor said:
 Replying to your radiogram to the President September 25. The Assistant Secretary of Labor is now enroute to San Francisco. Every effort will be made to avert threat ened tieup of Pacific Coast ship ping. Your information of Alaska situation appreciated.
 Dimond's Message Delegate Dimond's radiogram to the President read:
 From press reports and other information it appears that gen. eral marine workers strike or lock- out affecting all shipping on Pa- cific Coast IS likely to occur Oc- tober first and that there is no present prospect of an early settle ment. The general manager of the Alaska Railroad has advised ship pers that if strike or lockout oc- CUTS the railroad will be closed from two to three months.
 Such a strike if continued any length of time would be a disaster of first magnitude to the people of Alaska since all of our commerce with the United States is carried by sea and we have no railroad or oth- CT land transport connection with Canada or the United States. Po- oioloH Ol AidSAd IS uAllcIcIll lIOIu that of Pacafic Coast States since people and industries of all the States can be readily supplied by mail and motor transportation and depend upon shipping to minor ex- tent only, whereas Alaska is totally dependent upon shipping to main tain it's industries and even to se- cure necessary food and other sup plies.
 Cause Aldska Hdrdship
 Owing to financial and other limitations it has been impossible for merchants, industrialists and individuals in Alaska to prepare for a long siege. therefore if a strike or lockout occurs prompt and ade- quate measures must be taken even to supply the people of Alaska with the necessary food. clothing and fuel
 Alaska has made substantial ec- onomic progress under the present Administration so that at the pres

BY MILTON A. BOSLEY, D. v. M.
The dachshund or German
badger dog is probably one Of the
most ancient of domesticated dogs.
Although an animal of independ-
ent character, he Is easily trained
to hunt game or be guardian OF
the home.
He combines to a degree the
qualities of both the hound and
the terrier. He is the favorite dog
of Germany where he is used as a
pet and hunter. Badgers work
serious havoc in cultivated fields
and it is very difficult for diggers
to overtake them without the aid
Of dogs.
This Streamlined canine, three
dogs long and half a dog high" is
not only an amusing dog, but is
very faithful to his master. He
has one bad habit-an antipathy
to large dogs.
There are two varieties usually

There was only one thing to do
obey. Briant went back to
the hall. Doniphan returned when
it was time to go to bed and
showed no intention of continuing
the quarrel. But rancor was in
his heart and his feeling against
Briant was worse. He would not
forget, when the occasion pre-
sented itself, the lesson which
Gordon had given him. He re-
fused every attempt at reconcilia-
ton which Gordon suggested.
Winter was not long in coming.
In the first week of May it was
cold enough to light the stoves in
the hall. Soon it became necessary
to warm the barn. Many Of the
birds were preparing to migrate.
Towards which region would they
fly? Evidently towards the north
ern countries of the Pacific or of
the American continent.
Among the first birds to get
ready for the long flight were the
swallows. Always thinking of get
ting away from Chairman Island,
Briant had the idea of using the
birds to give the situation of the
wreck of the Sloughi.. Nothing was
easier than catching a few dozen
of the swallows, for they came to
nest right in the storeroom. Round
their neck was attached a tiny bag
of sail cloth with a note indicating,
as near as the boys could, in which
part OF the Pacific Chairman
Island could be found; and a re-
quest to advise Auckland. Then
the swallows were freed. A slim
chance of salvation, but one not
to be neglected.
On May IS the first snow ap-
peared. June 10, 1861. would end
the year for which Gordon had
been appointed Chief Of Chairman
Island.
There were talks, meetings, and
almost intrigues, which seriously
disturbed these young people. Cor
don remained indifferent. Briant,
being of French origin, had no idea
Of governing a colony where the
English predominated.
