First Tourists
 1889 Arrive
 Nome by Plane

Doing things in different way is often to receive the most pleas ant and satisfying experiences.
 MT. and Mrs. Robert F. Patton of Chicago are exactly the type of people who like to do that.
 They arrived by Wien Alaska Airlines from Fairbanks, and are touring Alaska in the winter time something that the general run of socalled tourists throw up their hand at in horrorl
 Possibly being in the advertis- ing business in Chicago has giv- en Mr. Patton a slant that in or der to see some countries it is necessary to visit them during the times when much of the "ro- mantle" publicity is created about them.
 In any event they are having wonderful time and enjoying teir new experiences to the ut most
 The Pattons left Fairbanks last Wednesday with Pilot Sig Wien and flew to Nenana and from there down to within fif- teen miles of Mt. Mckinley which they photographed from an altitude of eleven thousand feet. Proceeding from there they flew to Lake Minchumina where they spent the night-about six ty miles from North Americas tallest mountain.
 The next day they flew to the Yukon river and down to Ruby and Koyukuk Station where they spent the night with Dom- mic Venetti, coming on into Nome today.
 MT. and Mrs. Patton plan to fly to Point Hope in the next few days and visit the Eskimo village there, also Archdeacon Goodwin and then return to Fair banks by way of Kotzebue.
 They came to Alaska last July going in by way of Skagway and thence to the head waters of the Yukon and down that mighty river to Tanana and up the Tan ana river to Fairbanks where they spent three or four months.
 Once during the summer they made a trip Up the Kantishna river by small boat and spent two weeks at Lake Minchumina, where they said it rained all but one day. This winter Mir. Patton made mail run from Nenana to Diamond via dog team. They are interested in the native life of the country and are seeking the natural conditions in their visit to Alaska.
 Much of Alaska's glamorous history has been built up about the severe winters and hardships which people encounter, and much of the publicity written about this great Territory has come from people who have nev CT spent a winter here to wit ness the inevitable conflict be- tween nature and man.
 But the Pattons can truly be called the First 1889 Tourists with a Yen to know the inside dope about the country during its winter period They saw the summer and now they are see ing the winter.
 More of the same kind would certainly spread the authentic information concerning this land of snow and ice'. We wish them

OF Defenses

While the japanese for

formulating a tentative new
policy toward the United
States, involving retaliation against
American interests in China for
application if the U. S. embargoed
munitions to Japan, the army and
navy high commands began a de-
tailed reappraisai of Americas de-
fense preparations.
Embargo action would be inter-
preted as an unfair application of
the American neutrality law, it was
asserted, and hence Japan would
assume belligerent rights in con-
nection with American interests in
China.
Japan is at present in a posi-
ton where it can not help abandon
ing its traditional policy of friend
ship toward America" said Asahi.
Assertions were made also that
the government was considering
denunciation of the nine-powsr
treaty by which the United States,
Japan, Great Britain and other
nations guaranteed China's politi-
cal and territorial sovereignty and
integrity.

Some British families are

Germany's war preparations con-

military movements.
Foreign experts believed that
Germany will have finished the first
phase of its actual preparations for
an emergency by tomorrow after
noon, when probably 100000 men
will be under arms. The western
wall will be fully manned an
there will be impressive concentra-

Tension in Berlin was increased
by persistent reports that a show
down on Danzig and the Polish
corridor will come this week. The
reports were circulated especially
in British quarters but at least

Volta Fish
Until RR met Jeff Mills RR was
always secretly proud of an imagi-
nation that has been plucking items
out of thin air for this column
for several years now. But that
secret pride vanished when Jeff
related this fish story:
Il hooked the dog-gonedest bass
up in the mountains! He was so
powerful he pulled my motorboat
clear across the lake BACKWARDS!
The motor got overheated from be-
ing pulled in reverse and burned
out water pump
Haunted by visions of another
Boch Ness monster, RR asked what
happened to the fish.
"Oh, I ate him." said Jeff, looking
like a guilty party who has just
burned the evidence of his crime.
Question and Answer
Maybe this is libelous. It was in
cluded in note to RR from
gentleman whose name we withhold
to protect him from possible mur-
der. He asks.
How does Homer Spear have so
many twin calves?"
Then he suggests.
ASK Allora Gallaher about the
name of her dog
Now you know as much as we do
about these important questions, and
probably good deal more.

From time to time, whenever Jake
