Declares Alaska
Isn't Scratched
Seattle Times

Alasl1a's treasury of gold and
silver isn't scratched yet.
So says John w. Duncan, pion-
eer merchant and mining man of
Rampant, in the heart of the north
ern Territory, who went North forty
years ago to open up stores for the
Alaska Exploration Company when
the gold rush was just beginning.
Duncan was recent Seattle Wis
itor on his first visit tout" in five
years.
Not much of a hand to recall the
old days, Duncan is more interested
in the modern Alaska that has been
opened up by the airplane and good
roads
"Alaska's horse and buggy days
are over" he commented. Dog
sled days are pretty much over, too.
Even the natives who used to haul
their boats up the river with dogs
now go out to their fish nets and
wheels in motor launches, equipped
with radio and all the convenience
es."
The Territory's gold and silver
treasures are being scratched again,
Duncan said, and with modern
equipment Just about all the new
equipment that goes into the mining
districts is for reworking old mining
ground. Much of it goes in by air
plane.
THE modern prospector goes out
in an airplane, decides where he
wants to land. has the plane bring
him his supplies, and come and
get him when these are exhausted, =
Duncan explained. THE airplans
lis opening up, Alaska something
marvellous.
1T used to take five days to go
from Rampant to Dawson to Fair
banks by dog team. Now it's for
ty minues by airplane."
Duncan went North first in 1897
on tne ola steamer president, sleep
ing in barge that was dashed to
the deck because there were not
enough staterooms. He landed first
at ST. Michaels and in 1898 went on
to Rampant, where he knew Rex
Beach John H. McGraw, one-time
Governor of Washington Territory,
and other celebrities of the gold
rush days.
1.-THE tourists at Rampant still
make line for the cabin Rex
Beach built there when he was
just strapping young lad of 20
years or so" Duncan said.
A string of nine claims along Lit
tie Manook Creek near Rampant
holds this pioneer Alaskan's inter-
est now.

The exotic seaports of Havana and
Shanghai and the interior of China

the story moves.
Summed up in few words, THE
Leathernecks Have Landed" is the
story of what happened to Woody
Davis after he was kicked out of the

Wlimsy Supplies Motif
of Ne,U Summer Belts
BY ALICE MAXWELL

PARIS, March 23.-Dig license
tags, clusters of red cedar trees and
groups of placid sheep are whimsi-
cal motifs used to highlight new
belts in the Paris summer collec-
lions.
The belts themselves, are, for the
most part, leather.
Patent leather is a special favor
tie. This year it comes in such
vivid shades as bright red and royal
blue-as we'll as the ever standard
black and brown.
Belts Echo Motif
Leather is used, however, for
both belts and trimmings The
motif on silk prints, for instance,
often finds an echo in the leather
belts worn with them. Green ced-
ars on black crepe are repeated in
green leather cedars stitched to
black leather belts. White sheep
grazing on a navy background are
held in tow by other white sheep
stitched on navy patent leather
belt.
Ornaments of all kinds dangle
from belt fronts They include dog
licenses and trunk tags. They also
include such things as punches Of
light-eolored plastic berries sur
rounded by leaves and tiny bag
pipes decked out in gay-colored rib
bons.
The bagpipe motif fronts a dress
in Scotch plaid that has a Scotch
cap to match. Harness-stitching
on the leather edges of the latter
adds a horsey note.
Leather Leaves Also
Leather leaves are among the
newest, smartest trimmings. They
front belts and cover lapels in
multi-color mixtures. In fact, one
white shantung suit is "leafed" on
the lapels in four colors-yellow,
green, red and brown.
Fancy-cut leather trimmings also
outline revers and head pockets on
coats and suits Several black al
paca outfits have such trimmings
harness-stitched to them in black or
white. A navy blue sport coat is
also trimmed in white leather.
A red suede bolero jacket and
heel-less tennis shoes of, the same
color are designed to be worn with
a white tenni frock. Another
striking use of leather is found on
a black organdie evening dress
which is trimmed with arabesques
of black patent leather invisibly
stitched on it in an all-over design.

AP Feature Service Writer

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 3D.
If the moon shines bright, should a
cowboy steal kiss?
In a quiet nook, by babbling
brook, should he whisper: Il love
you?" If an heiress thaws, should
he turn cold?
The wild and sometimes woody
west is choosing up sides over
whether dude ranch cowboys, af-
ter wrestling steers all day, should
spent their nights courtindg femi-
n.na greenhorns from the effete
east.
"A bow-legged cowboy was made
for work, not romance" says
Charles Belden, dude rancher of
Pitchfork, Wyo.
How Far To Go?
But Stow L. Witwer, president of
the Colorado Dude & Guest Ranch
Association, contends:
Give the gals romance if they
want it,"
And there are the two sides of
a question agitating the dude ranch
industry just how far should a
dude ranch go in giving service to
its guests?
Witwer believes the ranch man
ayers should provide anything a
guest might request, from pill
for stomach-ache to a cookbook
ing cowboy to go with moonlit
nights
ut cost no more to hire good
looking cowboys to help entertain
our feminine guests than it does
to hire a tongue-tied one who
knows how to toss a 1osso," says
Witwer.
Il speak from experience. A
charming eastern girl came to the
ranch and now she is Mrs. Wit
wer. Today she is one of the best
dude ranch hostesses in the bust
ness"
Belden, who has one of the larg-
est dude ranches in the west, says
Wyoming and not cowboys should
provide the atmosphere for dude
ranch vacation.
Costly and Inefficient
Good cowboys are needed. In
the summer they have the dudes to
wrangle in addition to the spring
and fall branding, dehorning and
weaving of calves. A drug store
cowboy can't do it.
THE atmosphere idea is all right,
maybe, but it runs up the over
head, decreases general efficiency
and is just as out of place as a
uniformed groom would be on a
western ranch
"A cowboy should be homely and
weather beaten"
Paul Holmes of Encampment,
who herds dudes and white-faced
cattle in the Saratoga valley, said
he has no place on his ranch for
a cowpuncher who cant punch
cows"
But a lot of Wyoming cowboys
are just naturally good-looking, +"
he added. 'They have the v-fi-
CURE, bronzed features and the
healthy look that women go for.
II recall that Ann Gould Meader
went for one. There have been
other heiresses who like them.
81 believe eastern women have
good Judgment. TIL ey can't be
fooled by a fancy face with moth
ing behind it, no more than an
|ornery boss cam

Youth Begins
July Fourth
A Trifle Soon
CENTRAL HIGH SENIOR
CHARGED WITH THROWING
FIRFCRACKERS

Norman Bell, 1S-year-old Cen
trail High School senior, 1926 4th
Ave. S., started his Fourth of July
celebration off a trifle too soon.
Norman was arrested when
school authorities told police some
one had thrown firecrackers into
the room of a teacher of civics at
the. school. After the occurrence
the only person found in the vicin-
ity of the open window was young
Bell.
Because Bell had previously
broken windows of the Acme Tag
Co., at 29th and Fremont Ave. s.,
he was arrested by Detective Mag
ney Palm for the firecracker Of
tense. A lenient Municipal Court
Judge fined Bell 81 and gave him
three months to pay it, ordering
to pay the fine from money he
earns during the summer period.

Active Citizens
Favor Leach
For Mayor Job
STAFF CORRESPONDENT

SIAFF CORRESPONDEN
Geo. E. Leach, candidate in the
coming mayoralty election, will
reap rewards of deeds done in his
past administrations in behalf of
colored citizens. Colored citizens
have long memories, like elephants.
Only, as a rule, the retentive
memory of elephants emphasizes
their keen sense of injury and their
unwillingness to forgive a wrong.
On the other hand, eolored citizens
not only remember unlind and I'M
fair action, as was evidenced in
the widespread protest some years
ago against the supreme court APP
pointment of Judge John ]. Parker.
They remember, as well, the lit
tie things that have aided in max
ing life easier.
So it happens that a group of
Minneapolitans, among whom are
included C. E. Newman and w. NJ.
Smith, newspaper editors, together
with Fannie Mae Shanks, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Colored
Women's Association, Inc, have
been recalling some of the things
Geo. E. Leach did in behalf of their
people.
Mr.. Leach did them in the course
of the days work, and very likely
promptly forgot them.
But these, and many others, have
remembered how quickly and firm
ly he caused to be taken down
signs which offered gratuitous in
suits to colored people.
They recall how sincerely he
tried to induce colored men to
qualify for places in the police de-
partment, and they are quietly re-
minding everyone and sundry of
the outstanding way in which he
met every question that arose un-
favorable in its results to the
groups welfare.
The mayor of Minneapolis has
but small opportunity to favor
anybody.
But when he shows himself firm,
fair and square in the small things
that arise in the course of the
days work, these citizens believe
they indicate the kind of man who
should be mayor of this city. Yes,
colored citizens have memories like
unto elephants.
