As MT. Pyle explained the situation: T have found plenty to write about in as much of Alaska as I have seen, even though have not been in the proper sort of condition to see what I have seen; but, be- cause of illness that kept me in bed two days at Petersburg, I have fallen well behind on my daily as signments. I spent yesterday, fol- lowing my arrival here, and in- tend to spend all of today at work on my syndicated column day for the Scripps- Howard readers. Thursday morning I will break out to see Juneau, and I intend to see a great deal of Juneau before leave for Skagway Saturday on the Mount Mckinley"

Particularly I wish to interview Governor Troy and make an air trip over your ice cap"
 MT. Pyle left the Eastern sea- board of the United States a little more than six weeks ago, made a leisurely crossing to the West Coast. much of it by private auto mobile, made his way from San Francisco to Seattle and embarked aboard the steamer Northwestern for Alaska Leaving the Northwest ern at Wrangell, he flew from there to Petersburg after one day
 '"I was hit by cold, fairly heavy one at that, almost as soon as I started north, and by the time I had reached Petersburg I was ready to stay in bed, which I did until I boarded the Aleutian at Petersburg to come to June eau Therefore, I have but little to say of Petersburg and am behind my work schedule
 Going Down Yukon

WHERE 20 WEALTHY
MEN WILL NOT TALK

Seventy wealthy and learned men
are secluded in a monastery at Coal
vile, England, vowed to silence for
life.
Situated in the heart OF Charm
wood forest, Leicestershire, Mount
st. Demands monastery is the only
Trappist abbey in Britain, and its
monks include doctors, musicians
and businessmen. Only for prayers
and hymns do they break their vo-
cal silence. Conversation is the
greatest sin that can be committed
at the monastery. Signs are used,
even to the extent Of cracking Jokes.
The monks rise at 30 am. and
sing Mathis and Lauds until $50,
when they take q bowl Of tea and
bread. The next meal is at noon,
when lentil soup and vegetables
with milk or coffee are consumed
The third meal, at 2 pm, is similar
but more sparing than lunch. Meat
and fish are forbidden. The monks
retire at 8, having spent the inter-
vening hours In agricultural work
prayers and meditation.

UltraMOdern New Super
Coaches in Service

The Union Pacific Stages have
just placed in service ultramodern
new super-coaches between Port
land, Spokane and Chicago, via
Boise, Pendleton, Salt Lake City,
Omaha, Des Moines and Cedar
Rapids. Super-coach service is also
available to Denver and Kansas
City.
The Union Pacific Stages are
buying 100 of these super-coaches at
a total cost of 81 100000. Approx
mately half of them are now in OPP
Grafton and the others will be de-
livered as rapidly as possible.
This new coach has created quite
a sensation throughout the country.
It involves many new and improv-
ed features and is radically differ
ent from any other bus ever design
ed. Most noticeable of the new fea-
lures are the position of the motor
at the rear of the bus instead of In
front, the baggage compartment un-
derneath the floor of the bus, the
higher passenger deck inside the
coach, modernistically designed
chairs, frosted tube lighting and
the general outline Of the coach.

Waste Rags Reclaimed

Waste clothes and rags can be
turned into textile fibers for sec
ond use by carbonization process
that reclaims all the wool, says Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. vege-
table matter, such as cotton and
linen, is destroyed by hydrochloric-
acid fumes, but wool is unchanged
SO when wool suit is held In the
fumes short time the cotton stitch
ings are reduced to brittle carbon
compounds and the suit falls in
pieces. Old clothes that have been
dried carefully are placed In huge
alright cylinder to which the fumes
are admitted. In four hours the
smartest suit is reduced to a pile OF
wooden cloth without a trace Of cot
ton or linen fiber. After cooling
the rags are given vigorous shak-
ing in a machine called a buster. A
grinding machine completes the OPP
Grafton by ripping each bit Of cloth
into fibers to use for new cloth.

Argus Hughes
BENTON CITY

The radical is rarely success.
Few men, very few, Of radical tend
encies ever amounted to much, and
a business conducted along radical
lines will experience considerable
difficulty in making worthwhile
progress.
Because Of the fact that Argus
Hughes is an advocate of the wise
policy Of trading with local mer-
chants, does not mean that he is
radical. Rather, 1t is conclusive
proof that he is conservative for
surely there is no more sensible
thing to do than patronize a local
merchant.
Argus Hughes has been in the
general merchandise business here
at Benton City for 10 years, ever
since 1919, but I do not think his
advocacy Of this policy Is at all
selfish or prejudiced. I'm sure it is
his sincere belief that it is to the
best interests Of everyone to buy
at home with a home town mer-
chant and with that view we are in
perfect accord.

Larry Oliver
KENNEWICK

The big shots In most every large
center are small-town guys. BY far
the larger percentage Of them have
come to the big town from the
smaller communities. Kennewick
has one business which has recog-
nized this tendency of experts to
drift to the larger centers and has
made special effort to prevent it.
Some ten or eleven years ago
Larry Oliver, proprietor of Larry's
Barber & Beauty Shop, returned to
Kennewick, his home town, after
years OF wandering, serving hitch
in the army and free lancing about
the country. He opened q barber
shop in his home town and has since
kept pace with the progressing times
and now has one of the best equip
ped establishments of the sort in
Eastern Washington. s. 81
AS his business grew he added
help until today he has four people
at work-and all of them are home
town people. He offered equal in
ducements with the city employers
and managed to keep this expert
help at home. Leo Glassner is q
home town boy, having gone to
school here. Leo has the second
chair in Larry's Shop and has host
of friends who insist upon having
Leo do their work regularly.
In the beauty shop, which is UNI
der the management of Mrs. Don
Visger, Alice Altrogge is employed.
Mrs. Visger is another home town
girl, being Louise Kathman, who
lived with her parents in the Gar
den Tracts. Miss Altrogge has spent
almost her entire life in Kennewick
and both ladies have a host Of
friends who receive their expert
ministrationS as occasions require.
Barbering comes naturally to Mr..
Oliver for he says that even as kid
he attempted to cut neighbor boys
hair for him and got out an old
kitchen knife to remove the first
crop Of down from the youngsters
cheeks. He has followed his natur-
al bent through his years Of wand
ering, being the company barber
while he was in the army. Attempts
at other occupations spasmodically
usually resulted In another try at
barbering until he decided to enter
the business as profession. Bar
bering and beautician work is Of
such personal nature that q pleas
ing personality and q definite tech
nique are necessities. A proper COM
bination Of these qualities initiate
to undoubted success.
These experts who have been kept
in small town are In position ia
serve the public of this vicinity and
will be pleased to be given a trial.

Doerschlag has been In professional
dressmaking business for more than
sixteen years having been employed
