Native Liquor
Problem, Fault
Of White Man
Rev. Prange of Holy Cross
States Am orleans
Created Trouble

The natives along the yukon are
not to blame for their liquor troubles
but rather the white man is the
source of the trouble. according to
the Rev F. Prangc from Ny
Cross, who sailed soutr \ e
steamer Yukon after flying 10 ja-
neau from Fairbanks yesterday With

thing about taking the naive eitl-
zenship rights away from HIM, bc-
cause he was drinking too much,

at Holy Cross for three years and
on the Yukon for nearly ten.
THE fault does not lie with the
native-get the white trash who

The Rev. Prange will return to
his post on the Yukon as soon as
possible.

the mission there. waiting for him
to return.

KuskOkWim Dredge
Operator Scores
Gross Cold Taxes
Head of New York Alaska
Gold Dredging Co.
Passes Through

Scoring the three per cent tax
on gold, j. K. Crowdy, President
and Manager of the New York
Alaska Gold Dredging Company,
one of the largest operators in the
Kuskokwim district. stopped briefly
in Juneau on the way Outside while
the Yukon was in port today.
Three per cent tax on the gross
gold output of an operation is the
equivalent of Is per cent tax on
net profits. On the average prop
erty, 20 per cent profit is a good
return, but when Is per cent of it
is taken in tax. the incentive to
operate is practically nil," Crowdy
said
Crowdy further detailed his
criticism of the gross gold tax pass
ed by the recent legislature.
The outlook is not bright in
present operations. We have been
enlarging our scale of work to take
out all we can from our mines and
not developing new properties - a
gross gold tax like we have now.
does not encourage any new devel-
opments.
I'VE do not mind a fair tax-no
miner does or will, but what we
want to see is not tax on our
gross profits, but rather tax on
our net-then we will know just
where we will stand"

pany was holding in allegiance

Mr.. Hynes

We shall not bother with the bid
ding, but eventually Mr.. Hymes found
himself playing the contract at four
hearts. neither opponent having bid
at any time. West opened the king
of spades. continued with the queen
and shifted to the ten of diamonds
Mr. Hymes played the three from
dummy, and East won with the king.
East now looked the dummy over
and slapped down the ace of spades
with the confident manner OF one
who knew he had the contract set.
Mr.. Hymes ruffed with the deuce of
hearts in dummy, thought things over
and said to himself, We'll, this East
player has four trumps to the jack
and now assumes that can't pick it
up. 1 wonder if he ever heard of a
coup?"
Accordingly, Mr.. Hymes cashed the
queen of hearts, laid down the ace
of clubs and then ruffed club in
his own hand. He now played the
ace of hearts, discarding a club
from dummy and led two rounds of
diamonds. When both opponents fol-
lowed to the second diamond lead,
Mr.. Hymes had no more worries
He simply played dummy's fourth
diamond, and East had two lines of
play. either OF which would lose. He
might ruff, in which case Mr.. Hymes
would overruff, draw East's last trump
and make the last trick with the jack
of spades, or he might discard his

Mr.. Dahlberg has just returned

cause Of the general fear of an i'm

were particularly interesting. He said:
I'VE have every reason to expect the
greatest era of world prosperity ever
experienced. In London there is little
fear of an immediate world war.
Business there Is particularly good.
England has no unusual unemploy-
ment. Generally the feeling is that
we are on the threshold of an era
of sound business recovery.
Throughout the world there has
been a lack Of residential construc-
tion making the shortage of houses
widespread. During the next few
years millions Of new homes will be
built Anticipating this construction
not only In the United States and
Europe, but in other parts of the world.

facilities. Our new plant in England

Give-Aways.
A T THE end of every foot ball
~ season we read countless ar
~ ticles by various winning
a coaches in which they de-
scribe how they noticed some pecu-
liarity of the star player on the op-
posing team, such as the habit Of
hitching his belt before carrying the
ball, or splitting on his hands before
throwing a forward pass. etc. Then
in the big game the player who has
this unfortunate habit Is covered
completely and unable to make any
gains whatsoever.
Undoubtedly these articles tell the
truth, but what the opposing foot ball
players do to the man with manner
lsms is nothing compared with what
alert bridge players will do to the un-
fortunate individual who has the give
away habit. For instance, take the
well known case when declarer holds
ace -jack-small of a certain suit In
his own hand and king-ten-small in
dummy. He has two ways to flnesse
for the queen, and If unable to get
any inferences from the bidding or
the distribution. theoretically has but
an even chance of guessing the flnesse
successfully. But we know one we'll
known player, Mr.. X, who always
gives away the queen, whether he or
his partner holds it. All the alert
declarer must do is to lead from the
hand which will make Mr.. x play
before his partner. II Mr.. x does
not have the queen, he plays low In a
normal and reasonably rapid manner
But If he has the queen. he fairly
rushes to get the low card out of his
hand, whereupon the queen Is located.
Mr. X does not know he does this, but
every one he plays with does and has
taken advantage of him for years.
SOMETIMES the give-away gesture
may not be a general one, but
may apply specifically to a certain
hand. For instance. consider the fol-
lowing hand. played recently at the
Cavendish Club in New York by Ed
ward Hymes, jr:
