JOHN CHINAMAN HELPS ALASKA

 The Japanese it is announced from Tokyo nave decided to abandon their salmon studies in Alas kan waters The reason given is that the Foreign Office has decided that all of rrita ton be- tween the United States and Japan be eliminated"
 Doubtless the negotiations with our own state Department relative to invasion of Bristol Bay by Japanese fishermen has great deal to do with it. But it probably is equally true that Japan for the time being has just about all she can attend to In China without breeding more trouble in the north Pacific If she had achieved quick victory as she first anticipated it might well been different story but the stubOorhness of John Chlnaman has changed the picture with the advantage. so to speak falling to Alaskan fisheries which the Tokyo dispatch Indicates are not going be harassed by invading con- petition during the forthcoming season at least or course perhaps a study and actual fishing are diff ferent things but Japan has been calling the latter r, exploratory work for several years.
 Ii may be hoped now that the 1888 study expe- dtion has been officially cancelled that efforts will continue to be directed that abandonment in future years will be absolute As Washington State Senator Homer T Bone advocated the other day in Congress this would seem to be most apropos time to cInch the situation with a complete and effective agreement which would guarantee the great American fishing

NAyun44. -aa1BE, BUT NOT BAD

Perhaps Alaskans would not be justified in laying claim to any particular streak of righteousness, but there is one hall of fame, il-fame, that We are not recorded in That is the annual crime report of the Department of Justice issued through the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 Copy of the report with its somewhat appalling figures on crime in the United States and it's pos sessions has just reached us, and after perusal we find significant that Alaska is noticeable by its absence. Hawaii, the Canal Zone and Puerto Rico are listed among places which have to put up with crime of various kinds but Alaska. fortunately is ,not thus afflicted to the point where it gets rating
 This is not to suggest that we should go out and commit as few killings 50 that get into the 1888 volume of "Unforn Crime Reports Perish the thought Alaska has enough things to boast about without getting turned to crime It just strikes us that it is what Alaskans have been doing and we can very well keep doing that get his signal recognition from the Department of Justice We may be a little naughty, but we're not bad.

FEDERAL DAM
DOOMS A TOWN
Greenville, Mo-, Must Give
Way to Project to Bene-
fit Big Area
DAM TO COST s22,5OO,OOO

Greenville, Moths 120-year-old
Missouri town and surrounding
Wayne county, which contains some
of the most fertile farm land in
southeastern Missouri, soon may be
inundated as a sacrifice to hill folk
in surrounding Ozark communities.
Its doom awaits construction of
the government $22, 100000 Wap-
papello dam which will control the
rampagning St Francis river,
which in less than 80 years has
caused approximately $50, 000,0 in
property damage.
Southeastern Missouri long has
faced the problem of Harvesting the
river, which has frequently swept
over its banks, destroying homes,
washing out crops and farm land
and drowning livestock.
When the government completes
the dam, ali of Greenville and most
of the valuable farm land in Wayne
county will be inundated.
The town. notedly prosperous in
good crop years, must leave behind
millions of dollars worth Of build
ings. The states first PWA project,
the $4,000 high school, and the al
most new $65,000 Wayne county
courthouse, are slated to 60. Much
of the building material can go for
salvage, but the ! government,
which reimbursed citizens for their
property losses, will take a ire
mendous loss.
An estimated 1000 property own
ers throughout the county will re-
ceive condemnation remuneration
from the government, but not all of
them are in accord with the prof.
ect. 1t will mean termination of
business relations which they have
established over a period of years,
severance of family ties and re-
establishment of homes in other
communities, they argue.
Others, in favor Of the gigantic
undertaking, picture the huge flood
losses of past years, the feeling of
apprehension that has been part
of life within the area and the fact
that condemnation checks will give
many debt-ridden persons a chance
to start over again-free of obliga-
tons.
Surrounding counties probably
will annex the land in the county
that is not inundated. The lake
which will be created will be devel-
oped into a recreation area.

DELAWARE BAY
FERRY PUSHED
Lewes c. of C. Head Named
For Board; Deeper Inlet
Waterway to Aid Project
APPLY FOR FUNDS

Paul F. Carpenter, president of
the LeWes Chamber of Commerce,
has been appointed member of
the board of governors of a tri-
state authority from Delaware,
Maryland, and New Jersey to work
toward the establishment of a
ferry line between Lewes and Cape
May, N. ]. Following the initial
meeting of Chamber of Commerce
bodies in Lewes on June 10, at
which time such an authority was
suggested, the organization took
place at a folloW-up meeting in
Salisbury, Md, on June 22 Offic-
ers will be elected in January,
when concrete plans will be put
into effect, Mr. Carpenter says. The
ferry line was abandoned more
than 25 years ago because of eco
nomic conditions at that time. It's
revival, the tri-state authority be-
lieves, will give the Eastern sea
board a shorter and ess-congested
route to the South with the institu-
ton of a ferry-service across the
12-mile expanse of water at the
mouth of Delaware Bay. Another
ball that will be set rolling toward
this objective by the Lewes Cham
Der of Commerce will be steps to-
ward securing 16-foot mean low
water depth in the new Roosevelt
Inlet, which may be required as
terminus for ferry boats at Lewes.

Horseshoe of 1847
Found i'm Oak Tree

Del Monte, Calif.-A horseshoe
believed to be more than 90 years
old was found imbedded in the
heart Of an ancient oak tree on
the Del Monte golf course.
The shoe, which old-tirne resi-
dents here believe dates back to
the days when nearby Monterey
was the capital Of Spanish Cali
fornia, was found in the center Of
a one-foot thick limb while the
old tree was being cut down.
It was believed generally that
the shoe was thrown by a horse
nearly century ago; that its
rider hung it around a branch,
and that the limb grew around
it.
