 From Sitka

SITKA, Alaska, Oct. 19-(Special correspondence)-- Mrs. Ray James, 57, Indian woman, was drowned Monday morning in east Sitka Bay when the boat in which she and a companion were rowing overturned. Attempts to revive her were futile, and, according to the report of the attending physician Dr. W. c. Char teris, death was due as much to shock as to drowning, little water being found in her lungs.
 She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Flora Hamre and Carolyn James, a student at the United States Public School, and daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. Stella Herman. Funeral services were held in the ANB. Hall Tuesday afternoon and interment was in the family plot in the Presbyterian Cemetery.

ship Steel FOR
field LIGHTING
May Have Lights for Football
Field Ready to Hook Up
By October z.

Final shipment of steel for use in
building towers in lighting the Memorial
field was made Tuesday, according to
a communication sent by David E.
Faust, contract manager of the Ameri-
can Bridge company, Duluth, to Byrd
Brownell, who has the contract for the
project.
Shipment is beng made rom Pitts
burgh so that the steel will arrive here
the last of this week or the first of
next, Faust states. Work on putting
up the towers is expected to start next
week, Brownell says.
Pouring of concrete for the pillars has
already started, according to the con-
tractor. After digging down 16 feet
on the south side of the field, con-
crete and rock Sub-base was put in.
This solves the problem of providing a
substantial foundation for the towers
on this side of the field, the; location of
an old swamp.
Brownell believes that the towers will
be ready for the lights by october 7.
The hookup with the power line cannot
be made, however, until the transformer
room in the new stadium housing the
oil switches for the 2,300-volt current
is done.
The Junior College has a game here
Saturday, october 81, that may be adj
vanced to Friday night and played
under the lights. The high school has
game here the following week with
Aurora but there is some question as to
whether this game will be played.

WHAT OTHERS SAY !.


Walter Brown in the Chisholm Trib-
une Herald-TranSientS in one of Du-
luth's leading hotels few days ago
were justified in wondering If inter-
national bankers were present discuss
ing the financing of the European war
or if the federal brain trust had con-
vened to plan another lightning stroke
of frenzied finance to bring about re-
covery. Wine flowed freely and money
talk was big-too big for the average
commonplace man to comprehend. But
it wasn't bankers and it wasn't brain
trusters 1t was merely a gathering
of the slot machine magnates of the
state assembled in regular meeting of
their association formed by them for
their mutual protection.

On This Occasion
bined, it is high time to take an
inventory of tax laws.
Continued from Page One)

The statement of Mr.. Gage
who came from Olivia to the
tax commission on the appoint
ment of Governor Olson is we'll
worth thinking about by those
who forever are yelling more
taxes from the mining compan-
ies." When he came to the
commission he was fully con-
vinced that the mining indus
try should be picked to the last
feather.
His years on the commission
have evidently taught him that
he was wrong in his beliefs.
The statements made to the
institute last week has con-
WINGED the general public that
he has studied the situation and
is not ashamed to acknowledge
his wrong attitude in the mat
ter. In this he is unlike others
we can name who for reasons
purely personal are forever
snarling at the heels of our
main industry to saddle them
with additional tax burdens,
already at the breaking point.
The A. F. L. has seen the
error of it's ways and now bans
its endorsement of political Of
fees. The Endorsement of last
year of the candidacy of Elmer
Benson for governor did not
add to the popularity of certain
leaders who were supposed to
be neutral but nevertheless put
themselves out to advocate
everything with Farmer
Labor tag attached. The rank
and file of labor organizations
felt that this was violation of
the rights of the members to
shape their own political course
and at the sessions of the Min
nesota Federation of Labor at
Duluth last week recommended
an amendment to their constitu-
ton to prohibit POLITICAL in
dorsements.

It isn't Just a son those parents
are losing. They are losing 20 or
as years OF their lives. They are
facing the bitter thought that 1t
might have been better never TO
have had q son.
They are realizing that all their
worrying, all their work, all their
sacrifices are now O pitiful joke.
While they were worrying over a
sons health, they might have
known 1t wouldn't matter. The
healthiest are taken first. The fit-
test are the first to face the guns.
WHAT ARE YOUNG
COUPLES THINKING?
And II they are feeling like that

are young couples who as yet have
no families feeling?
Aren't the thinking ones decid-
ing, mo, we don't want to worry
and work and sacrifice for 20
years In order that we may have
o son who some day will surely
be just one OF an army's mil
lions?
Aren't governments going to
have an increasingly hard time
selling men and women on the
glories OF family life?
Certainly husbands and wives
have O right to doubt that they
are "doing their duty to human
ity" to bring children into a
world that goes to war when the
people Of all countries are praying
for peace?

tsS:
BY Samuel Fry, Jr,

One Of the most annoying Of all
bridge partners is the notrump
fiend. He never supports his part
ner's suit and doesn't even show
suits of his own. It's no-trump, no.
trump, no-trump, all the timel
But In this deal, South, a no.
trump fiend, gets his just deserts.
North opened with one heart and
South responded with two notrumps
(typicaD instead of one spade.
North bid three hearts-a distinct
warning against notrump.
Ignoring partners warning, South
bid three notrump instead Of four
hearts, though holding only single
shoppers In both clubs and dia-
mondS.
North had to pass three notrump.
With West leading the Jack Of
Clubs, South had to 60 down one
trick, even If he did not try to make
the hand by taking the spade fl
nesse.
Obviously, either four spades or
four hearts would have been o lay
down despite losing the finesse. Wise
bidding (either a first response Of
one spade, or failing that, raising to
four hearts on the second round)
could not have failed to get North
and South to q correct contract.
