FAIRBANKS Al ROUNDUP
CANCELLED BY MEASLES

Fairbanks - Fairbanks extensive
arrangements to play host to the
second annual All Club Roundup
for Western and Central Alaska
were abandoned today with the
news that quarantine against
measles has been ordered in the
Matanuska colony.
Word of the preeaution, aimed at
at preventing a threatened measles
epidemic in the colony. was received
by wire Monday to Miss Ethel Nc
Donald. University of Alaska Home
Demonstration leader, from DR. G
Earl Albrecht. Matanuska public
health official.
Rather than endanger the health
of youngsters of this area the con
vention of youthful farmers, origi-
nally set for July IS to August md,
committee heads decided in favor of
outright cancellation of the event.
Fairbanks and university staff
members had almost completed ar
rangements for the affair. which
was to have attracted approximate
ly 160 youngsters here from Seward.
Anchorage, Matanuska, Palmer, Ne
mana, Homer. Ouzinkie Seldoyia and
Cordova. A large PERCENTAGE of the
intended delegates was to have rep
resented the area now under quaran-
tine. At least so representatives
would have been forced to stay
home had the roundup continued
as per schedule.
As DR.. Albrechts wire stated no
specific number of measles cases
now prevailing, the danger was not
believed critical, and the quarantine
was regarded as purely preeaution-
airy.
Meanwhile, in order not to disap-
point Fairbanks young farmers who
have been looking forward to the
roundup, some form of local con
clave may be substituted, according
to Miss Mcdonald
Leaders of the Al Club will meet
in the Federal Building at Z p. m.
tonight to discuss the possibility of
staging a little roundup" for Fair
banks and Nenana members at Mt.
Mckinley. This will depend upon
agreement upon a date with no con-
flicts. Such an affair would involve
at least 80 youngsters from the TWO
cities.

TO ASK MORE NAVIGATION AIDS

Navigating in Alaska waters is
still much more difficult than it
need be, even though many aids to
navigation have been installed in
recent years. Lieut-Commdr. Noble
G. Ricketts,, commander of the Haida
who is leaving soon for Virginia,
told the Juneau Chamber of Com
merce.
Commander Ricketts, said that it
is especially hard to move a vessel
in Southeast Alaska waters in the
winter, when nights are dark and
long and when visibility is almost
constantly poor.
Twice as many aids to navigation
as are now in place here could well
be used, he said, recommending that
Alaska make an effort to bring the
attention of authorities to the Ter
ritory's needs in that regard.
Ending a three-year detail at Ju-
neau as commander of the Haida.
Commander Ricketts, is leaving to
take over another Coast Guard COM
mand at Norfolk, Va.

This title. without the question
mark, appears over a news story IN
the Hutchinson, Kansas, News. The
second bank of the headline reads
Woman Of Easy Morals Can Grow

worse and worse, to an Alaskan, the
farther he reads It isn't a story
about Alaska as a whole but about
our own Juneau and it's so wrong
it's funny.
1t seems a red-haired young man
named Donald FarroW OF Hutchinson

on aud headed for Alaska to
make his fortune" He pushed his
way northwestward to juneau,
which must have seemed about the
farthest frontier outpost of a
strange land. to judge by the inter
view he gave to his little Kansas
newspaper when he returned home.
Here are a few choice paragraphs
from it:
Alaska to the Hutchinson man
always will mean Juneau lusty
village of 5000 persons, 1000 OF
them on relief.
"A village with two natural
sources of wealth, gold mining and
fishing. Juneau is the most remark
able town Farrow ever saw.
It has absolutely no MORALS be
asserted. There are about nine men
for every woman, and a man could
go up there with the sweetest wife
in the world and they wouldn't be
married inside of two years.
You can get a divorce just
about for the asking and it's a
shame to say it, but a woman can
make about $4,000 a year from
those fishermen
Eating was no cinch as Farrow'
money supply ran low.
You go into a hotel and eat a
meal that would cost you a quarter

Fortunately for Farrow, he OBJ
tanned a job helping install a new
hotel for business.
The hotel business is almost d
racket, he declared. The cheapest
room with a narrow bed no better
than a cot comes to So
So Mr.. Farrow went all the way
back to Hutchinson, Kansas, granted
an interview to the local newspaper
and opened a popcorn shop.
No more Alaska for me" he is
quoted in his story, unless it's to &c
there on a vacation"
And no more Farrow for us, nc

country they halted an educational
system set up under the Czarists and
established a rigid frontier at the
boundary. Why the Russians ne
longer welcome free trade and com
munion as the old regime did, Mr.
Eide only ventured opinions. 1t Is
possible, he believes, the Soviets dc
not want the Americans to learn
how they treat their natives. Stories
have erept across telling of the low
plane OF LIE on which the Russian
Eskimos exist.
Mr.. Eide believes the boundary
line should be abolished at the Dio-
medes in order to return happiness
and social stability to the Eskimos
there. Though out of the Indian
service since 1924, Mr.. Eide still sees
numerous problems TO be settled for
the Eskimos and the eradication, Tor
trading and hunting at least, of the
international boundary line between
the Diomedes is one of them.
Mr. Eide is the author of a text
book on Eskimo history for elemen-
tary grades and has written Eskimo
treatises in Norwegian. He is a
member Of a Norwegian inter
national lecturing and educational
group and is an amateur photogra-
pher. His collection includes a pic
ture of the rare ceremony of bless
ing the skin boats before the natives
set out on their hunting trips.

Marcopa County sheriffs to order the
apprehension of Robert M. Bur-
gunder, Jr., son of the former King
County Prosecutor, of Seattle, Wash

Burgunder, a student in the Teach
ers College at Teme, was identified

RIFLE IS
AIMED AT
PRESIDENT
Secret Service Men Pounle
on Man-MiId Sensd-
tiOn Caused

WASHINGTON, May 5.-A 80
year-old man, identified as Harry
Coff was arrested today as he was
pointing an unloaded rifle at the
automobile carrying President ROO
sevelt and the Nicaraguan President
Somoza.
Secret service men claimed that
Coff had snatched up a rifle laid
down by a Marine officer. They
said that Coff had no way of know
ing that the rifle was not loaded.
The man himself claimed that
he had picked up the rifle out of
curiosity and was only playing with
it. He said that he had no desire
to assassinate President Roosevelt.
The Secret Service men who
seized Golf said: eve could not
be sure what the man was doing
with the gun. He may not have
been actually aiming at the Presi-
dent. However, he picked the wrong
time to play with gun
The incident occurred near the
Senate Office Building. Four Ma
rines had fallen out of line to serve
as hospital detail for first aid
station. They stacked their guns to-
gether against tree on the Capt.
toll grounds.
Coff picked up one of the guns
and appeared to be aiming it at
the Presidents car. Secret Service
men pounced on him and threw
him to the ground. The incident
occurred with such rapidity and the
Secret Service men dragged Golf
off to Jail so quickly that hun
dreds of persons within a few feet
were unaware of the occurrence.
When Coff was seized with the
unloaded gun in his hand he was
less than fifty feet from the Presi-
dental car and the muzzle of the
gun was pointed directly as Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

a firm rejection of Chancellor Adolf

a wide German right of way
through the Polish Corridor.
However, Beck left the door open
for further peaceful conversations"
His speech was delivered before
the Sejm, Polish parliament, and
was interrupted constantly by thlIn-
derous applause.
Will Not Bulge
The Foreign Minister declared
that Polish Corridor rights in the
free city of Danzig belong to Po-
land and that Poland would not
give them up.
He called Germanys claims on
the area as one-sided demands in
which the element of reciprocity
was lacking
Will Negotiate

declared. only ON a basis Of peace

matters not directly affecting Polish

livered a calm and carefully worded
declaration of Polish policy which
left no doubt as to the attitude of
his country with reference to Ger
many's claims.
No Price, Honor
The Foreign Minister concluded
with emphasis on Poland's declara-
ton of desire for peace, but
brought Polish Deputies to their
feet with cheers when he declared,
I'VE in Poland do not know the
conception of peace at any price.
There is only one thing in the life
Of men in this nations State that
is without price, and that is honor"

PUTTING BATTLE FLEET
THROUGH PANAMA CANAL
IS EASY-IN PEACE TIME
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May s. In a
pinch we can crowd a substantial
part of the Navy through the Pan
anna Canal and get it out into the
Pacific or Atlantic before an enemy
fleet could reach American shores
either from the Azores Or Hawaii
That may be comforting to those
who think that at some time or
ether we may have to wipe up on
an enemy fleet in one ocean and
then send ships through the canal
to take on another.
So far the Navy never has had
to rush through the canal to meet
an enemy, nor has it had to solve
Just what to do in event enemy
ships were near enough to launch
fleet of airships to harass the
process The present fleet of three
score or more ships moving back
to Pacific Coast stations faces none
of those elements.
Yet it is problem to get through
the canal under rush conditions
and there isn't Navy officer afloat
who doesn't look longingly at an
other route as an auxiliary, the one
through Nicaragua, which years
ago was repeatedly recommended
by boards of engineers in prefer
ence to the Panama job.
