MOVES ENTIRE
 OFFICE FORGE
 TO MOUNTAINS
One Concern in Nebraska Spending Entire Sum-
 mer in Cool Spot
By JOE MORTON, Jr.

 ployes of the L. L. Coryell Com pany are learning about a new kind of air conditioning.
 The Coryells-father and son bundled up their workers and fam 1 lilies in automobiles and trucks ear fly this month and moved the entire caravan to summer headquarters in the Rocky Mountains. ] Reaching Colorado Springs, Colo, 1 GOO miles away, they set up sum- mer office in high school gymnas- jun. There they will mix work with lplay until the summer heat subsidies on the Nebraska prairies about Sept. 1.
 Fifty employees with their famil- ies, about 100 in all, made up the |group Transportation and all oth- CT moving expenses were paid by the firm In addition advance men were sent to the mountain city to rent living quarters-separate hous- es for men with families, large boarding houses, vacant fraternity and sorority houses for those living Ialone.
 Expects More Work
 The moving idea" was that of IL. L. Coryell, Sr., head of the oil firm which operates in half dozen |midwestern states.
 Tt was hot as blazes in Nebraska last summer" he said Under this new plan everybody will feel better and we'll get more work done"
 The employees will forfeit their regular summer vacations but none of them seem to mind.
 We wish to have the time of our lives" one of them said.
 The elder Coryell went along as papa" for his office family. With Mrs. Coryell he will live at hotel. IL. L. Coryell, Jr., younger partner in the firm, took a house for his family Other employees directed the advance men as to the type of dwell lings they desired. Where rents ex- ceeded those in Lincoln, the firm made up the difference. That too, was the elder Coryell's idea, en- ployes said.
 Damon and Pythias
 Lincoln friends of the Coryells expect the summer plan may mean a temporary departure from the Damon and Pythias" relationship of father and son.
 They look much alike and both dres salike. In addition they live in houses across the street from each other and share one staff of servants. One week the two fam flies eat at the fathers the next week at the juniors. Both have shared the same checkbook since the junior was made a full member of the firm on the day he was grad uated from high school.
 One employee was left behind when the others moved. She will reroute telephone calls and tle- grams and attend to other details which may arise at the home of flee" during the summer.
 She didn't mind.
 My husband works for another company and since he can't go, don't want to.
 Besides" she said. "the office here is air conditioned"

 CENTS IS COST
View New York Skyline, at Night, Any Old Time,
 as Long as You Like
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, July 24.-For four cents in New York one may get on boat and ride for an hour, week, or month suppose one could stay aboard forever or until the boat was docked for repairs . These are the ferries on the Hud- son which relay motorists to and from the Jersey shore. Pedestrians only may come in for these unin- terrupted rides, however With each crossing the huge saucer-l like ferries are emptied of vehicles. Foot passengers have the run of the crafts, which means the smok- ing aisles, or the vast upstairs, where the view is good and the cooling breeze5 whip in with re- freShing zeSt.
 Many people here in the cool of the evening like to get on these boats any of them, and park themselves on the upper decks. foot on rail, and be waited back and forth across the river, taking the air and enjoying the changing color of the skyline. New York, viewed from afar, is prettiest at this time. The vague blues of the sky, generally in the Maxfield Parrish manner, envelop the city like soft velvet curtains, and the pinpoints of light in various hues wink from ten thousand windows.
 
 Another Favorite Spot
 Brooklyn Bridge is also favorite spot for this vista, and the city as glimpsed from those dark, glooming arches has inspired at least one famous canvas.
 A couple of summers ago an at tempt was made to serve beer and ale on the boats, but it never came about. In the mornings, however, one may have coffee and deughnuts, which are served on the up- per deck, an opportunity of which many commuters avail them selves. The coffee is almost always bad, but the service is pleasant and the pastry is good. Coffee costs dime, although second helpings come without charge The pastry is also 10 cents, but there are no re-fills.
 As it requires about Is min- utes for each crossing, this gives the office workers hurrying to their chores just time for a bite of breakfast The other morning two stenographers from some where in New Jersey were mak-

CHAPTER ~

His thick clothing smeared sT
frost and soil, Jack Hammond
worked with pick and shovel at the
bottom of q deep pit. He filed o
moosehide bucket with boulders anG
stony soil and signaled to Mckenzie
Joe to raise and dump it. Jos
obeyed, turning the rough handle Of
an equally crude MINDLESS. He
was beaverlike man Of huge Shout
ders and stocky frame; with a great
effort he carried the bucket await
and emptied it. Returning he caIlet
down:
Hey, Jack. Ride the bucket I'D. I"
Knocking IF work early, aren't
WEI" Hammond queried, when he
poked his head out Of the crude
shaft.
Look" answered Mckenzie
Joe. With movement Of his eyes he
indicated the far-away camp.
1t was q new trek from Fourcross.
Men were shouting, and hurrying
about, mushing their dogs to the first
open space unoccupied by the tents
Of other gold seekers, and tearing at
their toboggan loads as though they
had only q matter of minutes in
which to begin life in a new land.
At this distance, they looked like SO
many black, two-legged ants, out
lined gainst the white Of the snow
covered Sapphire lake Mckenzie
Joe took off his thick cap and rubbed
heavy fingers through matted, gray
hair.
There amt nothin' crazier'n a
bunch of pushed placer miners" he
said at last. Lets clean out that
pit and knock off work for the day"
Sure" said Hammond. ''Then
60 down to town and find out how to
make a million"
He glanced toward the bed of the
frozen Big Moose. Great fires
burned there, dozens of them, where
men. and the few women who hac
made the calling journey, worked
at dream of fortune 1t was tough
going now. The gravel must be
thawed out. Water for panning must
come by dog team from the COM
munity water hole, cut through the
four-foot thickness of lake ice.

Hammond once more moved swiftly
toward the rear, only to return
more quickly. At last he reached
the side of the leader and strobe
beside him, staring back into the
snow.
Somebody's missing" he told
Olson. 'sTn try to find EN-. If I'm
not back by morning, hold camp
and start out gang to look for
me-"
Then down the line he went again,
finally TO drop behind. No one no.
ticed him; all eyes were straining
straight ahead. Hammond moved
swiftly on the back trail.
It was deep dusk before he picked
up q clear trail. He shouted wnd
went on. Again, after a period Of
search, he called, and for a third
and fourth time. He thought he
heard z faint answer.
He began 10 run, as swiftly as
his sticky snowshoes would permit.
In the distance, faint, gray
smudge appeared. He shouted anew
and went forward. At last they
faced each other. Jeanne Towers
tried 10 cover her WEAKNESS with a
smile, meanwhile wiping the well
come, cold moisture Of q fur-gloved
hand across her forehead.
Am ! LOST" she asked, with an
attempt at cheeriness.
"You were" Relief al finding her
had brought certain reflex. Why
did you drop out?"
THAT trace broke again. ! sup
pose ! worked on il longer than !
thought. Then, when was through,

from her, stick by stick, until the
blaze leaped high. At last he
Strengthened and looked down al
her.
You're pretty game, aren't
your" he asked.
1t seemed to electrify her. An al
most tomboyish expression came
into her eyes. She laughed, her
white, even teeth cleaning in the
freight.
Honestly, am y" she queried.
There was a wish IN her voice-for
him to tell her again. But she
added quickly, 81 hope I can cook
something that's fit to eat"
1t was. With the dogs snarling
over their fish and mush, the man
and woman sat beside the campfire
long after the meal was finished.
At last, Jack unro1led her sleep
ing bag and bedded II down with 2
canvas windbreak. They said good
night. Hammond went back to the
fire.
He sat there q long time. Finally
he rose, and moving toward her
family outlined form, knelt there.
Jeanne" he said quietly, "are
you asleep"
The voice fought dull fatigue.
mo, Mr.. Hammond"
my names Jack"
"Oh," came with an air Of sur
prise.
Listen" he cut in. 1--WE just
thought of something funny. You're
none Of my business"
O."
''Whst mean" he added hastily,
sis that I'm not trying to butt In
or ask questions. You understand
that, don't you?"
"Yes-T've known that"
"Just the same" the man went
On, 1--WE thought Of something fun
ny. Suppose, for instance, lent
you q little money-you know, to
build a shack with. And then
he added, sitting her exclamation
suppose ! did what ! could to
get things going for you. I've just
been thinking that II really would be
whale Of joke on somebody, i
you'd take this bunch Of supplies
you've been dragging through for
me, and really start that grocery
store"
Five minutes later, Jack Ham
mond turned away, with a hand al
his throat.
81 didn't think she'd cry about
IT," he murnbled, once more back
at the fire. He sat there long
time. Then at last he stretched,
went over TO the dogs, disturbed
them with moccasined foot, and
rolled in with them. The sun shone
the next morning. They were back
at camp in an hour. The endless
journey began anew.
Six days later, a struggling mass
Of humans slipped and slid across
the hurumocked ice Of the Liikeu
river. Hammond came aiue z,
passed Jeanne Towers, asked :
CHEEKY question, and went onNSd.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-04-22

I couldn't see anybody. And noises
seemed to come from al direc-
tons"
Hammond scowled, but not at her.
81 knew damned well that shep-
herd husky would never make
lead dog"
The girl laughed weakly.
I'm glad I'm not the only one
to blame"
Reaction had passed for Ham
mond; he was only glad he had
found her.
"a good lead dog would have been
able TO pick Up the trail" Suddenly
he said, TOO tired TO 90 on?"
Can We reach caup?"
Wen have to make our own
camp" He looked about him, in
the lowering dusk. One chance was
as good as another-memory told
him that they had been working for
some time to the left. Certainly
shore could not be so far away.
I'VE haven't much to kick about.
Everything In the world TO eat on
that toboggan and there's q sleep
ing bag for you"
But you?"
He grinned.
1T won't be the first time I've
piled in with the dogs"
There was q different spirit now:
concern for her safety had placed
them on new basis Silently they
worked forward, bent against the
drive of snow. Going was increas-
ingly difficult; the white, sticky
fall had covered the harder pack
for q full six inches; their snow
shoes sank deep and came up
heavy, leaden. A half hour of ter
rife exertion followed. The world
was black now, but Hammond
urged her forward.
81 think I see the shore line
ahead" he commanded. Keep 60
ing if you can"
"I'n keep going" was ner sturdy
answer The search ended within
hundred yards, in low boughed
spruce, rocky shore line, and tum-
bled deadwood.
Again Jack saw that she had told
the truth when she had denoted her
self as being Of the North. She
asked no questions. She did not
even query their camping place,
driving the dogs to the first level
spot where twisted tree growth
formed a shelter from the wind.
Then, as the huskies sank to rest
In the snow, she turned deliberately
to her next self-appointed task. the
digging under old drifts or to wind
ward for dry bits of pitch wood, for
unmoistened cones and a handful
of brittle spruce needles, meanwhile
sweeping nearby surroundings with
appraising glances. In that she told
Jack Hammond much of woodsnan-
ship; he knew that she was search
ing for a birch tree and its inham-
mable bark, but there was none.
The spruce needles cracked into
a feeble blaze as he fed them with
q second match. Jeanne handed
him a crushed bunch of fine dead
twigs. Then he took the larger fuel

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WHO'S NEWS
THIS WEEK..
By Lemuel +. Parton
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

NEW YORK.-Our Mr..
l Y Dewey seems to have made
q better rat trap than his neigh
Dor and the world beats q path
to his door, with other cities
wanting to know how he does it.
The young rackets prosecutor,
ringing up seven more convictions,
for perfect score, has turned UP
extortion totaIling about 500, 000,-
600. He gets Sl6,695 a year. He
seems to be a good investment.
With possible maximum sentences
Of 2,l00 years against the seven res
taurant racketeers, he's already
drawing bead on allied industrial
rackets.
Governor Lehman took Thomas
z. Dewey, now thirty-f0ur years
old, from a $50, 200 law practice for
the biggest municipal dry-clean-
ing job of modern history. First, he
put the panderers away, Charles
Iucky) Luciano and eight others;
then twenty-eight loan sharks, with
their $40, 000, 900 blood money rack
ct; then, with a bit of legal leger-
demain, he turned policy kings into
rats and put them away, too.
He moved on through the truck
ing, used brick, poultry, bakery,
electrical contracting, tenants and
chaufeurs' rackets, and each case
brought shout Of front" TO the
Sing-Sing beu-boys.
He comes from Owosso, in the
deep woods Of Michigan. There,
as IN Windy Gap, the sheriff is sup
posed TO drive out or lock up the
crooks. Thomas z. Dewey seems
to have brought this quaint small
town idea to Manhattan. He rides
EN- down.
His father ran a country news
paper and he was the printshop dew
il, working on nearby farms when
he was big enough. He expected
to be choir singer and it was his
baritone voice which won him a
scholarship at Columbia. He was
paid soloist at st. Matthew's and
st. Timothy's church in West
Eighty-fourth street.
Finishing in law at Columbia, he
engaged in private practice and
later joined the staff Of George Me
dale, U. S. district attorney. II
was 1888 when he roped Waxy Cor
don, one Of the biggest and sleekest
Of the rodent rodeo.
He is married to an Oklahoma
girl. They have one boy four years
old and another eighteen months.

When the Shooting Starts.

A FTER writing 40 books, Z.
Phillips Oppenhein, the Brit
ISL novelist, complains that diplo-
matte intrigue-his favorite fiction
al thene-isn't what il used 10 be.
He knew the old patterns sufficient
ly to foresee events.
His novels, 1.-THE Mischief Max
er," ''Our Great Secret" and 1.-The
Makers Of History" predicted the
World war with almost perfect &C.
curacy In time and the alignment
Of powers. Given a certain num-
Der Of diplomats, Of standard spec
ihcations, engaged In routine phe-
nagling over old, established pune
tito, and he could figure out when
the shooting would start.
But that's all over, says MIR. OPP
penheim, visiting this country for
the first time in ten years. Diplo-
mats call names and tell all they
know, and more, on the radio, and
the laggard novelist shouts ''Wait
for baby" as they touch of more
deviltries than he can invent.
At the age Of seventy-one, the
genial, sturdy Mr.. Oppsnheim is
one Of the few writers who can man
two dictaphones at once, keeping q
novel racing through each Of them
without stopping for water or feed.
Caesar could work three stenog-
raphers at once, if this reporter re-
members his high school Latin cor
rectly, but It was lost art until
Mr.. Oppenheim and the late Edgar
Wallace came along. There was
talk of staging a debating race
between them when they both lived
at Nice.
MIR. Oppenheim has been writing
ffty-one years, although his first
novel, Expiration" did not appear
until 1887. Previously he had pub
hshed short stories. OF his lao
books, 100 have been novels and the
others volumes of short stories,
three omnibus works and a travel
book.
He likes to have good time dur
ing the day, swimming, golhng or
flirting with Lady Luck when he's
on the Riviera, and usually works
from four o'clock in the afternoon
until seven, during which hours he
keeps the dictaphone smoking.
He never blocks out his yarns. He
just starts talking, and lets the story
unravel as it may. In 1925, they
rudely taxed him out of England.
He took refuge on the Riviera, but
now lives on Guernsey island In
the British channel.
When he was eighteen, he was
hunked in mathematics and quit
school to work in his fathers leath-
er business. When he visited Paris,
French cafe owner told him some
tales of underworld intrigue, with
international complications. That
started his long writing marathon.
