The Washington News Letter

tC0ntinued From Page Iwo) William Allen Butler, for so long a leader of the New York Bar.
 'In the course of the evening MT: Charles Glover, President of the Riggs National Bank, told me this bit of history. That when he was a boy, in the bank one day MT. Cochran came to him and handed him two warrants upon the United States Treasury, one for $1,400,O00 and the other for $5,80O,0OO. He said, Put those in the safe" MT. Glover did so, and they remained there for a week, when they were sent to New York. MT. Glover said, These warrants were the payment of Russia for the Territory of AL aska."
 Why were there two war rants? l never knew until some years later, when l learned the story from Senator Dawes, who said that prior to the war, there had been some negotiations be- tween the United States and Russia for the purchase of AL aska, and the price of $l, 400, GOO was agreed upon. In fact this was the amount that Russia asked for this great territory, which was regarded as nothing more than a barren field of ice
 'tDuing the war the matter lay dormant. We had more terri tory than we could take care of. When England, however, began to manifest her friendly disposi- tion toward the Confederacy, and we learned from Europe that England and France were carry ing on negotiations for the recog- milton of the Southern States, and possibly of some manifestation by their fleets against the block ade which we had instituted (and which they claimed was not ef- fective and merely a paper block ade), we looked about for friend, and Russia was the only European country upon whose friendship we could rely. There upon Secretary Seward secured from Russia demonstration, in American ports, of Russian friend ship. Her ships of war sailed to both of our coasts, the Atlantic and Pacific, with the understand ing that the expense of this dem onstration should be met by the United States, out of the contin- gent fund. It was to be a secret matter.
 The war came to a close, and immediately thereafter Lincoln was assassinated and the admin istration changed. It was no long CT possible to pay for this dem onstration, secretly, under the excuse for war, but way was found for paying Russia through the purchase of Alaska, the war rant for $1,4O0,0OO was the war rant for the purchase of Alaska, the warrant for $5,8OO,O was for Russia's expense in her nav al demonstration in our behalf, but history only knows the fact

 How can this be done? Ready at hand is proven tool-national advertising.
 In the past year and half, such advertising has greatly stepped up Canned Salmon con- sumption, boosted sales through out the United States. Plans are already laid to make next years national advertising more power- full, more effective than ever!
 Thus will the Canned Salmon Industry continue to keep and enlarge its share in American markets .. to bring better times to us all.

THANK YOU, people of Alaska. l for helping this year to pro- duce a Salmon Pack especially fine in quality!
 Throughout the Territory, none but the freshest salmon were canned. The fish passed quickly from the water to the cans. Every care was given to the in-between steps. Now at the end of the 1937 season we may all take pride in knowing that Alaskas Canned Salmon meets the high est standards of purity, flavor and nutritive value!

Little Rock Pcbs spread out
their lead over Memphis for first
place in the association Thursday
night to game and a half by de-
fcating Nashville To 3 while the

Vols had tied the score with a
two-run rally in the first half of

Porter and Dickman, who did
the mound work for the league
leaders, yielded only seven hits
to the nine given up by Wcrk and
Watkins Of the Vols.
Birmingham scrambled up into

Then Stuart walked over TO ST.

hands. Silas only glarcd, notion

tile. Hatred Shone in his eyes. For
the Golfer brothers, young Blake
epitomized all that they had come
to dcspisc. Clannish, unrcfined,
Surly, they diStruSted anybody

"Well. Its all | can say,

In 10 seconds he had separated
the two groups, had the Blakes
going toward the door and the
Golfers huddled near the stove in
silence. Only Carolec Golfers
eyes followed the BlakeS.
She wore a queer expression as
she watched them go out. Her
face was flushed, and lovely.
Abruptly she glared moment at
her two brothers, then with no
explanation she herself fastened
out the door.
The Blakes were entering a
taxicab. They had paid Officer

Prepared by Separation.
In IsraeTs hasty departure from
Egypt, there was not time for the US
ual process of preparing bread for
their last meal there and for their
journey. So the bread was hastily bak-
ed without leaven or yeast. COnse-
quently in the years that followed, no
leaven was permitted in their house
holds during this feast This custom
became a symbol of the nations sep
aration from things that would defile
the people morally or spiritually. They
were to be "a holy nation" living I'M
to God and by this separateness being
prepared for their divine mission.
Prepared by Sacrament.
Israel was not to be allowed to for
get it's redemption from bondage. This
memory was kept fresh through. the
centuries by the solemn repetition of
the dream of redemption in the sacra-
mental observance Of the passover sup
per whose significance they were to
teach their children, saying, ct is the
sacrifice of Jehovah's passover, who
passed over the houses of the children
of Israel in Egypt when he smote the
Egyptians, and delivered our houses. "

Federal REA Body Wants to
Put Hoey In Johnston Fight
Continued from Page One.)

NOOnC10Oe0 from rage One.I
|. in North Carolina, and who know
how bitterly the Federal REA fought
this measure, are convinced that the
REA tried every way possible to put
Governor Hoey ION the spot" at that
time. 1t is also generally agreed that
if Governor Hoey had not asked the
House and Senate leaders to drop the
fight for the enactment of this bill,
that it would have been acted with lit
tie or no opposition. But always pre-
ferring peace to a fight and always
ready to compromise in order to keep
peace, Governor Hoey more or less
sided with the REA with the result
that the bill never came out of COM
mittee. But Governor Hoey is regard
ed as too smart a lawyer and too can
NY politician to fall for the tactics
now being used by the Federal REA
or, to be put con the spot" in this lat
est effort of Administrator Carmody
and the REA to put on a face-saving
act and if possible to smear the faces
of Others including that of Governor
Hoey, most observers here agree.
The bald facts in the case of John
ston county are that most of the far
mers down there are frankly tired of
waiting on the Federal REA and it's
endless red tape and want electricity,
regardless of whether it comes from
the Carolina Power and Light Com
pany or from lightning rods. They
know that they waited for year and
a half while an application was pend
ing for. cooperative loan before the
ID II la
Rural Electrification Authority gave
up in disgust and the Carolina Power
and Light Company built 10 miles of
line the Federal REA went into court
and got an injunction that prevented
farmers connecting their homes with
these lines for almost a year. They
know now that the Carolina Power
and Light Company is ready to go to
work and build 155 miles of additional
rural lines Immediately and will prob
ably get them finished before the CO.
operative could get it's loan and get
ready to start building lines. For what
the farmers want are rural lines and
electricity now, not sometime in the
future.
The trouble with the Federal REA
and it's officials, is that they are I'M
doubtedly more interested in fighting
the power companies than they are
in building rural electric lines and get
ting electric service to the farmers
who want it and need it, those who
have been following the course of the
REA are convinced. They feel that
most of the REA officials are little
more than flock of Don Quixotes

the girls of Hillsboro and Orange

footsteps of the fine people of that

love of his neighbors has made Mr..
Wilson revered and respected by hun

the typical Carolinian, for he is the
father of six children, grandfather of

He has two living sons and two

One of his sons succeeded Mr.. Wilson
