APOLOGIES

Our apologies for the delay in getting switch
ed over from a mimeographed sheet to a press
printed paper. Seems as though trouble has been
on our trail since we first got our equipment in.
If some of the news in this first issue seems
little STALE please realize that part of this paper
was printed some time ago, before hard luck over
took us. In fact, so much was already printed
that there isn't room for such regular features aa
Hospital News, Social Calendar Church News
ETC.; items that will be taken care of weekly
And as to the advertisers, our apologies to
them Also The response was so great that we
were showed under. We have taken them in the
order which their bids for space was received and
we hope that no one feels sighted
Thank you all for your patience Regular SUBJ
scribers will receive additional issues to make up
for the period of suspension from publication

VALLEY PRODUCTS
PROVEN ECONOMY

T. S. MacDougal, who operates
the Fern Mine above Wasilla, says
he has been buying locally raised
vegetables and beef this summer
and finds that he saves just about
the cost of freight from Anchorage.
'.And this is no small amount" he
adds, Considering that there are %
of us to feed up there. Once |
bought sack of cabbage from Mrs.
"Hardworking" Smith. paid her
rs cents for it in Matanuska, then
paid 80 cents to have it hauled nine
miles on the railroad to Wasilla. "
Mr.. MacDougal went on to say
that the vegetables he bought from
old settlers and colonists couldn't
be beaten, and that some of the
beef he has had was the very finest
that can be raised anywhere.

MEET SOURDOUGH
SAM . AGAIN

Popular demand for a reprint
of Sourdough Sam has been so
strong that we have decided to in
troduce him again. Sam has had
and will continue to have, a lot
to say in the columns of the PIO-
NEER.
You see, Sam has a pretty good
slant on all this activity in the
Matanuska Valley. He has lived
here for years, but last spring a
year ago, just about a month be-
fore there was anything said about
colonizing this district, Sam head
ed back into the hills at the head
of Chickaloon to do a little pros
pecting on a creek he and Tex
Cobb knew about. He went alone
except for his old dog, Bum; and
he never saw a soul till he re-
turned last September. Can you
imagine his surprise? You should
get him to tell you about it. You'll
recognize Sam if you see him
around camp. He's tall and
straight as a birch sapling, and as
tough as piece of Nigaluk
Whalebone in spite of his seventy
years.
His hair is white and curls a
little over the collar of his shirt.
He has somewhat scraggly
white moustache that is bit to-
bacco stained in the middle. His
eyes have the clearness of gla-
cier ice, but they are not hard.
If you see him go right up and
talk to him. Sans sociable. Get
him to tell you about his return
to the Matanuska Valley after only
six months absence.
When Sam left for the hills
there were few scattered fam
lilies and only two miles of gray
elled road. When he came hiking
back he expected to find things
just the same.
He was coming down an old In
dian trail near Cottonwood Lake,
right near Swanson's place, when
he suddenly stumbled on a fine
gravelled road that shouldn't have
been there at all.
Just then a big staff sedan
Colonel Hunt 's-bore down on him
with the horn wide open. Sam
jumped about twenty feet.

Morgan Denies Blame
For Panic of 1915

State by Robert Lansing, had ex-
pressed as a State Department
policy blunt opposition to foreign
loans as unneutral.
With the bankers working fran
tically to secure permission to float
an Anglo-French loan, conferring
with the Secretary Of tn Treasury
and other Governmental officials,
a letter to the President from
Lansing on September 6, 1915, de.
clared:

the true spirit Of neutrality
expressed in the Bryan DECLARE
ton against lOans) made in the
first days Of the war stand in
the way Of our national inter
eStS which seem to be seriously
threatened?
my opinion Is that we ought
to allow the loans to be made
for our own good, and have
been seeking some means Of
harmOnizing our policy, so un-
cOnditiOnally announced, with
the flOtatiOn of general loans"
Senator Nye characterized the
letter las one of a number that
seem to have been overlooked
when Mr.. Lansing was preparing
his memoirs"

don't. Il cannot help but
admiring you for the fact that
you are about the only person
in dominant position who was
capable of sustaining an un-
biased and wide perspective Of
the case. Hauptmann is not
guilty. Not of the crime he
stands convicted of.
CAN the poor bum is guilty of
is his money madness, which
made him risk q thousand dol
lars or so of his own good money
in the belief and greedy notion
that he could get independently
rich and by hiding this cheaply
acquired hoard he brought him
self into all this trouble, nearly
causing him to lose his life,
which I hope will now be spared.
"Now that have cOmmuni-
Gated to Your Excellency and
given you some Of the inside
dope, you will readily under

lines are not dictated by a desire
to be an informative.

conscience and the desire to
friendly assist you to prevent
the State of New Jersey from
committing q legal blunder and

the day when you granted COM
mutation, for clemency I can
not possibly invite, because 1
can not come out in the open.
"YOu are comparatively young
yet and you might live to see
the day when the whole truth

Condor is concerned. you
would be well advised to take

SECRET BURIAL
PLANNED FOR
GILBERT
Hollywood Remembers
Actor for His Big
Film Successes

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 10 Q.N.S)
The nations film capital dropped
its gaiety today to mourn the
passing of one of its most beloved
members-John Gilbert.
Murmuring I'm so sleepy, so
tired" the great lover of the
screen with only a nurse at his
bedside, slipped off into eternity
yesterday, the victim of a heart
attack. Physicians and firemen
with an inhalator worked over
rs mott ~~'ass body for more than
an hour to no avail.
Burial Secret
And today, as screen celebrities
Joined with unknowns the world
over in grieving over a mutual be-
reavement, simple private funeral
ceremonies we're planned for the
dead star.
Burial, it was said, will be Sc
cret to prevent any untoward Incl
dents such as those which marked
the funeral of the last great lover
of the films to die-Rudolph Val
entino.
Last rites will be held at II
q. m. tomorrow in the B. e. Day
ton mortuary where the body was
removed from Gilbert'S Shrubbery-
shrowded home yesterday. Rev.
Neal Dodd, Of the Church OF the
Angels, will officiate. The services
will be private, admission being
by card only, it was announced.
John Gilbert, 38 years Of age.
died virtually alone, but not
friendless. Four times married,
the dashing Romeo Of the screen
had sought retirement when the
advent of talking pictures pulled
him from his pinnacle Of achieve
ment. Something in Gilberts
voice made it difficult Of sound
transmission.
His four former wives, now in
different parts Of the country,
sent hurried expressions Of deep
regret-all had been true friends.
But in faraway Stockholm, the
zone big love of his life," the
glamorous Greta Carlo, remained
silent.
In a burst of confidence with q
new-found friend, w. H. Mooring,
representative of British Interna-
tional Pictures Corporation Of ELS
tree, England. Gilbert shortly be-
fore his death confessed that his
love for Miss Carlo was 1.-The most
real thing in my life"
Gilbert and Mooring had been
discussing negotiations for the
actor to leave for England to make
q picture for the British company.
Born into q stage family, Gil.
bert married four women. all con-
nected with the theater, and his
name often has been linked with
others of the film colony.
Gilbert's real name was John
Pringle, son of Actor John Prin.
gle. He was born in 1897 while
his parents were playing in Logan,
Utah.
Daughter Born
His first marriage was to Olivia
Burwell, who divorced him in
1921. Shortly thereafter he mar.
ried Leatrice Joy, who bore him
a daughter. also named Leatrice
Joy.

Prosecutor to Reach
Decision Soon on
the Evidence

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10
U.N.S0-Definite decision was
expected to be made today by
local authorities on the possibil.
ity Of bringing the sterilization
case of Ann Cooper Hewitt, 81.
year-old heiress, into criminal
courts.
District Attorney Matthew Bra.
dy ordered a conference of his
deputies and police inspectors in.
vestigating the case following
word from his chief investigator,
Deputy District Attorney August
Fourtner, that all Of the princi-
pals here had been questioned.
Mr.. Fourtner and Police In.
spector George Engler concluded
questioning of nurses at a local
sanatorium where the young
heiress was sterilized 10 months
ago. Mr.. Fourtner reported to
his chief:

Tax Consu|tant Denies
Conspiring in Fraud

Charles L. Pearce, New York
banker and income tax conSultant,
pleaded not guilty today when ar.
raigned in District Supreme Court
on a charge of conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government.
Pearce was indicted last week to-
gether with John w. Hardgrove,
former official of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, who is now under
sentence Of two to four years in
prison on q similar charge,

stoutly denied that their failure to
support the exchange was either
deliberate or was used as lever"
to force a change in the Admins
tration policy. One Of the part
nerS told reporters privately:
1--WE simply had no money
with which to support the
pound. Prior to that time, we
had warned that we would have
to stop supporting 1t finally, and
we had no instructions to con-
tinue after British financial
backing for the support was
temporarily exhausted"
OPINION ALTERED
At any rate, the combined pres
sure of circumstances, plus con-
ferenceS between Morgan officials
and the Secretary Of the Treasury
and subsequent appeals Of the
Treasury head, was followed by
Mr.. Wilson'S decision not to object
to foreign loans.
The quizzing then swung to an
inquiry about other circumstances
which might have made easier the
efforts of the bankers to secure
Administration acquiescenSe in for
eign loans.
Questioned by Senator Clark,
Morgan readily admitted that
when the British steamer Arabic
was sunk by German submarine
with the loss of two American
lives August 10. 1915. public opin-
ion swung to the Allies side, and
made it easier for his firm to carry
on heir financial transactions
with the Allied powers. Senator
Clark observed:
"Then it is clear that when
ever American passengers lost
their lives on a British liner 1t
was easier to float a loan?"
cit was a most regrettable at
fair but it increased the SYM
pathy for the Allies and there
fore made background for ap-
prevail of a loan"
Long prior to all this, William
/ Jennings Bryan, who had by now
been replaced as Secretary OF

married the beautiful Ina Claire,
but this ended in 1881. Gilbert's

him in 1884.

Grass Was Destroyed
Supporting this statement, the
President explained that when
farm machinery began to be
made efficient so that great areas
of prairie lands would be plowed
by gang plows, the buffalo grass
which had covered the light soil
was definitely destroyed, never
to grow again; and that wheat
farmers, for instance, could make
money on huge areas of wheat,
regardless of the yield per acre.
This, he said. covered an area
as large as all New England,

Accident Prevention Program
Edward j. Godfrey, M. D., Chairman
The Home, Farm, and Highway
Accident Prevention program was
inaugurated by national headquar-
tiers In October, 1885. In conjunc-
ton with this program, the chap
ter was visited by Henry Cheatham,
representing national headquarters
DR.. Edward j. Godfrey was named
chairman Of the committee to study
ways and means Of carrying out the
National Program. A committee OF
81 representative Waterburians was
formed to assist him and the first
meeting was held In the Henry Sa-
bin Chase Dispensary, October is,
1885. Henry Cheatham presented
the plan of operation In very in
teresting manner and asked that
the chapter establish four First Aid
stations along the highways of rural
districts and distribute several thou
sand questionnaires throughout the
public schools and illustrated book
let's of home accidents for the
teachers use, on safety In the home
project. Through the courtesy
and cooperation Of DR.. Thomas J
Condor, superintendent OF schools
this was done. Major Newton Alex.
ander, commander Of the American
Legion, was appointed chairman OF
publicity, and through his efforts
the chapter was assisted In making
the proper distribution Of material
through the schools. A First Aid
class was formed Immediately under
the direction of Louis F. Laun to
train the personnel for the sta
tons. AS the requirements were
"a hours volunteer service at every
station, II was not until June Of
1886 that we were able to open the
First Aid station in Southbury at
st. Pierre's garage, under the i'm
mediate direction OF Frank Bost-
wick.
Troopers from the barracks at
Beacon Falls made a survey Of the
the rural districts under the chap
ter supervision and asked that o
station be opened at Southbury
Prospect, Woodbury. and Thomas
ton. Other stations are now UNI
der consideration.
Al the opening Of the station In
Southbury on June Is, we had a
good representation from the local
chapter, including John M. Burial
chairman; Miss Harriet e. Gregory,
chairman Of Nursing Service; Mrs,
Edith e. Ladd, executive secretary,
and DR.. Godfrey, chairman OF the
program. Representing Woodbury.
we're Miss Lottie Hitchcock and
Miss Ruth Bowker, and many
friends of Southbury attended. The
First Aid equipment was furnished
from chapter funds.
