pre-depression high of $500 in
1925. Several reasons have been
assigned to this great growth of in
terest. American soldiers became
greatly interested in pure-bred dogs
while they were in France. and were
impressed especially by the intelli-
gence of the German shepherd.
They brought back many
specimens of this breed and
started the overwhelming
vogue Of the shepherd, nearly
running q noble breed by too
great a popularity from which
1t is recovering only now.
Another reason assigned to the
growing popularity of owning, show
ing and breeding dogs is that of low
cred general income. Unable to
indulge in more expensive sports and
pastimes, people turned to the dog
as a pleasure that could be enjoyed
at home without an outlay of large
sums. Very often, the ownership Of
one pure-bred dog, led to the &C
QUESTION Of several others, and a
start at breeding and kennel owner
ship impercept;bly was made.
It is interesting that the German
shepherd, which was introduced in
this country four years later than
the boxer, reached its zenith of
popularity and started declining
some years ago. while the boxer has

a dog, as he should be. In some
cases he is not. 1t is to the man
with the gun, but no dog, that the
following remarks are addressed.
The man with the dog knows them
already.
Do you know that your subtle en-
joyment of the autumn woods will
be greatly enhanced by the COM
panionship of a dog who goes
shifting through the wet leaves,
scenting the pungent air, worship
ping nature in his own way. His
silent and unobtrusive company, his
keen enjoyment of the trip and
of you, add to your pleasure. His
presence quickens your senses to
the beauty and pleasure of just be-
ing alive.
On the practical side he is
infinitely better able to find
game than you are. He can
make both feathers and fur
materialize where apparently
there were none . few min
utes earlier.
He can bring to your hand the
game you shoot, saving you much
climbing through brambles, over
fences and through streams. And
he loves to do it for you. If you
wound your game he finds it and
brings it to you for the last merciful
blow, instead of leaving it to suffer.
He is a great force in wild-life con-
servation. for with the help OF
dog a much smaller proportion of
game is lost, days bags are filled
without the tremendous waste of
lost birds.

ALASKA PWA PROGRAM
STOPPED BY WINTER

Breaking all records for speed in
putting men to work on useful pro
jects. the 1888 Public Works pro
gram in Alaska, calling for expen-
ditures of approximately S983,000
tor payrolls. materials and other
building costs. reached the eonstrue-
tion stage in all judicial districts in
the Territory many weeks in advance
of the January 1 deadline set by
congress. Administrator Harold l..
Ickes was informed by Regional Di-
rector c. c. Hockey.
Although climatic conditions made
it necessary to suspend work on
practically all public works pro
jects in the Territory during the
winter months, the 3 projects be
ing built in Alaska were we'll IN
der way before contractors were
forced to withdraw their Workmen
from project sites.
The swiftness with which the
PWA program got under way IN
Alaska is indicated by the fact that
two Territorial projects sewerage
system at Sitka and municipal i'm
provements at Skagway-were sub
stantially completed in less than five
months after President Roosevelt
signed the new PWA Act.
Fifteen applications for PWA
funds to aid in the construction of
public works projects were filed by
communities in Alaska, and all fiji
teen were approved. Two appliea-
tions later We're reseinded, after al
lotments had been authorized.
Throughout the Northwest region,
comprising Alaska, Washington,
Oregon and Idaho a total of 287
projects, estimated to cost $42,579,-
500, were under construction on
January 1. These projects, designed
to meet PWA requirements for
permanent and useful construe-
ton. will afford approximately a.
100000 man-hours of employment
for workers on project sites and in
lumber and cement plants, iron
boundaries, steel mills and other in
dustries supplying construction
needs.

leg-injuries caused by a falling
tree-Arvid Upman, about So was

ternoon off the Moose Pass-Hope
highway
Reviewing the scene it is believed
that the small hemlock tree he was
falling made rebound after striking
stump, pinioning the helpless man
who must have been standing deep
in the snow. 1t was evident that he
attempted to stop the flow of blood
with a hempen Irvine tournaquet. A
considerable space of snow was
stained with blood, showing that
the victim had moved about.
The body was found lying across
log by Mr.. Upman's tie-cutting
partner, A. Longmire, who upon re-
turning from a trip to Moose Pass
and not finding his friend at the
cabin, 20 miles out of Moose Pass,
