he called for two boy scouts, took

Finally at sunrise, the Diplo-

steps look more repulsive than to
these bedraggled diplomats. After
much effort they finally reached
the top, lined UP on each side.
As they did 80, there was q

Selected Poem
FORCE OF EXAMPLE

Charlotte H. McAuslin In the New York Sum
Now that the holidays are past
And peace descends on us at last
Some resolutions we'll renew
And to bad habits bid adieu
The other night when lights were dim
I heard my mistress say to Him
That nevermore would she be cross
From hence forth he could be the boss.
And II at lodge he fain would tarry
Shed never fret nor fume nor worry:
From bargain sales she'd keep away
And try to be at home each day.
And then heard Him say to Her
While I was licking all my fur,
That even II she trumped his ace
He'd keep placid smiling face.
And so think I'll follow suit;
No garbage pals I'll ever loot;
No greasy bones will evermore
Bedeck the parlors polished floor.

MARSHAL RETURNS; BRINGS PRISONERS
 FROM SOUTHEAST

After going south with prisoners, U. s. Marshal William T. Mahoney returned to Juneau on the North Sea. While south he visited with his mother at Eureka, Calf, and re- ported that everywhere in his tra- vels he found a general air of pros perity. Transportation lines were loaded and business everywhere seemed to be in sound condition. Strike conditions, he found, seemed to be ironing themselves out and Seattle is rapidly getting back to normalcy after labor troubles.
 Coming north, the Marshal picked up six prisoners for the Federal jail here-Salena Mooney of Wran- gell to serve six months for as- sault; Harry Campbell, four months for drunk and disorderly; Arthur Paul, six months on a similar charge; Chester Willis. six months on similar charge; Ivar Stolpe, six months and $500 for game law violation, and Vernon Alfred, bound over to the grand jury on statu- tory charge. Alfred is from Ketchi- kan, the other men from Peters burg.

WATSON, RETURNS FROM
 INTERIOR R|'Il||O||R| TRIP Il!
Catches Crawling on on Fly Despite Earthquake
 Sensations, Highway

Expecting the earth to shake little momentarily, but convinced he can stil take a grayling on a fly, Harry G. Watson, Secretary to Gov. John w. Troy returned to Juneau on the steamer Yukon after two weeks vacation trip to the Interior. Mrs. Watson is staying over in Fairbanks for a few weeks, visiting with her sister and brother-in-law, MT. and Mrs. Henry Weir. and MT. Watson's sister and brother-in-law, MT. and Mrs. Brice Howard.
 MT. and Mrs. Watson experienced some of the recent earthquake sen sations in the Fairbanks region and when he left they were still feeling tremors in the district. The Juneau couple motored up the Richardson Highway from Valdez and first heard of the quake at Gulkana. When they reached Mile 34 on the Highway they heard more about it for the road had been covered up with slides for a distance of some 1000 feet, MT, Watson reported. Un- able to proceed further, the Wat sons, who know their Alaska. turned back and found cabin where they stayed a few days while the road was being cleared. It was in those days that the Secretary had an op- portunity to prove he could still hook a grayling on fly.
 Most of the damage in Fairbanks proper was to stocks in the stores, MT. Watson said. The quake shook things off the shelves and messed the shops up considerable.
 Fairbanks and all places in the Interior where they stopped are looking fine, he reported. Mining activity is at it's peak and the creeks are covered with men in search of Igold and employed on existing op- erations. Several new prospects are coming in through the area and on the whole things are looking almost as good as I ever saw them" he said.
