news dispatch from Los Angel es Saturday stated on the previous day Errol Flynn. film star. failed to get any help from a superior judge in rescuing him from an un- profitable Alaskan gold mining Yen- tuTe. Flynn told Emmet Fl. Wilson. superior judge. he invested large sums with Otis Odell and Ward Ham ilton six months ago in forming the kingward Exploration company to develop a mining claim.
 Flynn asked appointment of a re- ceiver and an accounting. The judge said he had no jurisdiction in AL aska, so could not grant a tempor- ary order restraining Odell from taking possession of an airplane at Fairbanks which is listed as one of the firms remaining assets.
 The Fairbanks News-Miner Of July 23 carried the following story concerning Hymns Alaska venture.
 Strangely enough Hollywood gets word of fabulously rich gold strikes in Interior Alaska before Fairbanks hears a thing Of them Or so it would appear if We are to believe the August issue of Picture Play
 Quoting from an interview with Errol Flynn, popular motion picture actor. He had just struck gold in a mine that promises to be SO fam tastieally rich that 1t may make him one of the most prosperous men in the world. And this break came be- cause he had been good to the poor.

 A few years ago. he said. .I heard about a real sourdough up in Alaska. who has been prospecting for gold for fourteen years. He was so sure that he knew where he would make a unique strike that became interested too He was half starved. yet he lived for months at a time in a world of ice and snow, determined to make that strike
 Well, I offered to stake him He didn't want that-didn't want any one in with him. But he did realize that he needed better equipment. plane to fly in from Barrow, ma trials that might speed up his life work. Finally, through mutual friends. I convinced him that money would help him accomplish in months, work that would otherwise take years.

sTTKINE AND CAssIAR HOTsHOTs
 (By Ken Neyille)

Hello. Everybody. This is your Stikine Reporter bringing to you the latest news events of the week from the Stikine, the Cassiar aud the Harrington fleet at sea. Flash. Percy Peacock, well known placer miner who became personality over night by discovering gold in the roof thatch of his cabin on Boulder creek. has taken out over 300 ounces of gold in the past ten weeks. M-M-M-M. just think how many 5-cent humpies the creeks would have to yield to make that much luere.
 #
 Husky King. one-time big league ball player for the Boston White sox, is now searching for quartz lodges along the Iskoot, largest tri- butary of the Stikine. Mir King is convinced that the opportunities for riches lie more in hard rock mining than in placer.
 
 Charlie Spahn, an oldtimer who has his diggings along the Clear water, is satisfied that in his local fly they are having a dry spell which eclipses that of the Pacific Northwest In speaking of the Wea- ther I mentioned the fact that there had not been a drop of rain fall in Seattle for 60 days: Why, that's nothing" sputtered Spahn We have not had a drop here in two months"

 Speaking of wildlife and l don't mean Wrangell on a Saturday night, We saw five bears in one day along different parts of the river on the Hazel B trip last week. One old Bruin, not more than 25 feet away, on hearing the whistle merely reared up on his hind legs and gave vent to a genuine Al Richie horse laugh.
 An outstanding example of ju- venile hardihood was manifested by two small boys, aged ten and eleven, when they set out tTOu A6lSSi dpu Creek for Chesley, a distance of 45 miles, to deliver a camera to Dick Landry telegraph operator at that lonely station The lads left home Sunday morning and arrived, alone and unaided, at their destination Monday noon, completing the wild erness journey entirely on foot. Con sidering their tender years they dis played exceptional courage and re- markable lack of concern for pos sible dangers and fears which or dinarily would beset two small boys. They are the sons of MT. James, telegraph operator at Telegraph Creek.

 Constable Gray, provincial police man, returned to Telegraph Creek this week from a 30O-mile trek from the Cassiar where he was concerned with official duties. So, friends, while you are thinking of the abuse your feet would take on a 300-mile walk, I'll be trying to scare up some more items of interest for next week.

Senator Robert Reynolds of North Carolina who used to be a wrestler before he went into politics, is now a prominent member of the U. s. Senate. This week, he visited Seat tie en route to Alaska and gave voice to a most unusual suggestion.
 Discussing the Alaskan highway, the North Carolina senator said: We can't afford to build an Alaska highway over British territory. Eng land, whom We saved by our aid in the World War, could well afford to eede us a corridor, say 100 miles wide, through Canada to connect Alaska with the United States"
 One can imagine the uproar which would occur in the state Of Washington if the governor of North Carolina should propose ced- ing part of the territory of the state of Washington to British Col umbia for trade concessions to North Carolina. But that would be about as sensible as the North Car olina senator's idea.
 4 United States senator, above all persons, should know that Canada is an independent nation and a member of the British Common wealth of Nations. Great Britain could no more cede to the United States a part of Canada than North Carolina could give away part of the state of Washington.
 It is most unfortunate that lead ing figures in the United States Senate, who are supposed to know something about international be- lations, and international law, should show their ignorance in such a way and should pick the North west as sounding board. Senator Reynolds unfortunate break may rouse editorial resentment all over Canada and will be held up as an- other example of American ignor- ance and presumptuousness.
 The spectacle of the United States and Canada existing side by side for so many years without a fortifiea- tion on the border, has been held up to the world as an ideal example of neighborliness. If the United States begins talk about getting hold of some Canadian territory to make a highway to Alaska, this friendly entente will quickly disap- pear. For that is exactly the same attitude that has brought about all the trouble in Europe.
 The United States wants no ter ritory from Canada despite the North Carolina senator. It does want to build a highway to Alaska which will necessarily have to be built through Canadian territory. It could very properly make the Dom- inion of Canada, or the Province of British Columbia, a loan to be re- paid from tolls over the highway. This highway would cement the friendly bonds that now exist be- tween Canada and the United States, but unfortunate utterances like that of Senator Reynolds can do lot of damage to this friendly feeling un- less they are promptly repudiated.

Build Up The Navy

IT is somewhat difficult for the ordinary citizen to
follow the reasoning of the good folk who are op-
posed to building up the American Navy to a size
where We adequately protect both the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts against any possible attack by
foreign nation.
The notion that if we had such big navy we would
Immediately set out to conquer the whole world
silly but that is the inference behind the talk Of those
who fear tht Navy might be used for aggression"
In world in which other nations are not only
building bigger navies than ever, but are shaking
their fists at each other and some of them in our d
rection, it seems only common sense to build up
defenses to the point where such threats cannot alarm
U.s. AS matters stand today our Navy is big enough
to protect either the Atlantic Coast or the Pacific
Coast against any attack which might be made upon
u.s. but it is not adequate to protect both coasts at
once.
True there is the Panama Canal through which
the fleet can be moved from coast to the other in
a matter of three four weeks-provided nothing
happens to block the canal. But the canal can be
blocked, effectively by the simple process of sinking
an innocentlooking merchant ship crosswise and in
the event of war who is to say that no enemy power
would stoOp to such trick?
In these days of enormous Government expendi-
lures, the cost of greater Navy than any two powers
could mass against us is mere trifle We have in
America, something very precious to be defended;
not only territory and it's resources but the spirit
of liberty ITSELF which is under attack in great part
