Vice President Garner TO step Into
the 1910 presidential race:
"step aside, you ornery New Deal
guys,
Let bold. bad buckaroo past,
"He's the toughest hombre Of any
size,
And he moves mighty fast"
And later Garner gave this invita-
ton to the President to retire at the
end of his present term:
Get out of town-make way for
Texas man.
Get out of town. Be good to me
please.
Why wish me harm?
Why not retire to your farm
And be contented to charm
The birds of the trees?
Just disappear
You worry me much too much,
And you've had your day
Now II you stay
You're much too Dutch
The fear when we meet
That you may repeat
Well, frankly it's getting me
So on your mark. get set.
Get out Of town."

INV. TERRITORY NATIVES GIVEN
 REINDEER HERD
Overland d yrive of 800 Animals Begins East
 from Mackenzie

The first native reindeer herd to be established in the Northwest Canadian Territories is moving east ward to the Anderson River area, according to a press report from Ot- tawa.
 The 150-mile overland drive of about 300 reindeer away from the Government herd near the Mack enzie delta marks another forward step in Canada's plan to establish reindeer among the native popula- tion
 The native herd consists of good average stock, the animals varying from young fwans of 1888 to animals several years old. This herd is being loaned to the natives until such time as it has increased substantially in size.
 In addition to lending the rein- deer, the government is providing herd dogs and other equipment, as well as a quantity of rations to as- sist in maintaining the herders dur ing the first year.

AIRFIELD5 ARE MUD FLATSAND
 GLACIER FIELDS
Bob Reeves Has Flown Noted Expeditions Under
 Unusual Conditions

Flying in Alaska is largely a matter of being able to utilize whatever is offered in the way of landing fields and other supposed essentials to travel by air.
 R. c. (Bob) Reeves, owner and pilot of the Reeves Airways of Val deg, does most of his flying, win ter and summer, on ski-equipped planes. Landing on the barrel slave under carriage is made compara- lively simple in summer by using the slick mud covered tide flats of Valdez. At the other end of the flight there is always not too badly crevassed glacier.
 MT Reeves who is returning north after a two months visit through numerous midwest and and child.
 Tn past years his favorite side line has been to act as pilot for numerous expeditions, sport and otherwise. Last summer he flew Bryant Washburn's party from the American Museum of Natural His tory to the vicinity of Mount Lu- cania in the St. Elias range of Canada. The mountain was subse- quently climbed for the first time by the party but not until Reeves had almost wrecked his Fairchild landing on wet glacier snow. He later flew the same party to Mount Agnes, landing them on a tricky bit of cleared ice on Mata- nuska glacier. This stunt required g take-offs and landings before the expedition was finished.
 Last June a party of skiiers from the Harvard Ski Club of Harvard University were delivered intact and returned in the same shape from a months jaunt at the head of Columbia Glacier, via Reeves Airways.
 Since coming to Valdez seven years ago Reeves has flown in ap- proximately 100000 pounds of freight to adjacent mines. Numer- ous mine structures in a 500-mile radius of Valdez were delivered wholly, piece by piece in his B. place Fairchild
 His background for Alaska fly ing was furnished while he was at the controls of various ships for the American Grace Airways, tiago and Buenos Aires, which en- covering the stretch between San- tailed hurtling the famous Andes Mountain barrier.
 Only once has this flyer, who mak es practice of taking planes into places they can't go, washed out a ship completely. Twelve years ago he walked away from a pile of air plane junk, which had immediately previous been with him several hun dred feet in the sky, with only a black eye to show for the crash.

CANNED SALMON
 E ON SHELVES OF 1. ALL HOUSEWIVES

A recent pantry inventory cover ing 53,1 130 homes in sixteen cities showed that approximately two out of every seven homes had can of salmon in the pantry. This survey, made by the Scripps- Howard organ ization covered all cities in which this group publishes newspapers, and revealed buying and consuming habits of families in these cities by inventorying all items found in household pantries of representa- tive cross section of the cities.
 Homes inventoried were selected on a basis of income occupation. and population groups to assure a truly representative picture of habits of the entire community
 Birmingham, Alabama, showed the higest use of canned salmon of any of the cities investigated. Of the 2,853 Birmingham and Wash ington, D. O. tied for second place with 35.3 per cent of the homes having supply of this canned fish.
 San Francisco, California, center of busy fresh fish and sea food industry, was the lowest city studied so far as number of homes having canned salmon on their pantry shelves is concerned. Only 733 of the 4,234 homes examined boaSted a can of salmon among their food SUD- plies.
 The average city proved to be Columbus, Ohio. Columbus was ninth from the top in a list of Is cities. The percentage of homes hav- ing salmon available in the home was 284, which most closely paral- leled the average of 287 per cent for all cities studied.
 An interesting point in connection with supplies of canned salmon available was the fact that in all cities studied, the amount of sal- mon on hand was virtually uni form at approximately one pound. The average amount for all 16 cities was 1.01 cans. The lowest average for any city for 10 can, while the highest average figure for any city was 1.02 cans.
 Cities covered by the study, listed in the order of the percentage of homes having supply of canned salmon in the pantry were: Birm- ingham, Alabama; Pittsburgh, Penn sylvania; Washington. D. C.; Hous- ton, Texas; Cincinnati, Ohio; Knox vile, Tennessee; Buffalo, New York Fort Worth Texas; Columbus, Ohio; San Diego, California: Evansville Indiana; Toledo, Ohio: Indianap- oils, Indiana; Akron, Ohio, Cleve- land, Ohio; and San Francisco, Cal ifornia.

Guard, and the Seattle and Port land Chambers of Commerce were represented by J. J. Underwood and Roy Ward, respectively. Carlyle Eu bank, President of the Aleutian Livestock Company, and Lawrence Calvert, also interested in the same company, and both personally fa miliar with the problems arising from lack of 'transportation to the Westward islands, attended the meeting and made a number of helpful suggestions.
 After discussing several possible solutions to the problem of pro viding boat service for transporta- tion of both passengers and freight, it was decided that the best method of procedure at this time would be to secure the enactment of legis- lation to authorize the Postmaster General to contract for boat serv- ice on this route with contract specification to call for a vessel, safe, seaworthy, and of sufficient size to provide adequate space for passengers and freight, as well as mail, at an annual cost of not more than $125,000
 The following day, January 18, Delegate Dimond introduced a bill in the House that is expected to adequately meet the requirements of the necessary legislation. In order to speed enactment of the measure by having it considered simultaneously in both houses, Senator Schwellenbach is intro ducing an Identical bill in the Sen ate SsSe &S

Vote 10 Be Taken on Sen. Walker 5 Controversial
 Cocktail Measure

First crucial battle waged in the Senate this session will be decided tomorrow when the hotly-debated cocktail bill'' of Senator Norman R. Walker comes up for final pas sage. The Senate is to convene at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The bill, amended only slightly in the three days it was in second reading, allows sale of hard liquor by the drink and requires a $500 license of all dispensers, whether they sell beer, wine, hard liquor or all three.
 Today's Sena te session was breather, singularly uneventful. One new measure was introduced. Senate Bill No. 25, by Senator Henry Roden, establishing system of weights and measures. The Territorial Treasur- CT, under it's terms, would become lex- officio inspector of weights and measures.
 Memorials Discouraged
 The Senate Committee on Fish cries, Game and Agriculture deliv- cred telling blow to five joint memorials which had already passed the House when it returned them with the recommendation they be laid on the table flor the reason that they are not calling for any present need" The memorials, all introduced by Representative James V. Davis, of Juneau, deal with sea otter, wild life, the Forest and Range Experiment Station fire protection for public lands and a survey of the minor wood-using industries.
 Such memorials without sub stantial merit destroy the effective ness of those covering pressing necessities, the committee declared
 The. same committee gave dc pass" recommendation to two House memorials and two Senate bills. The memorials, also by Davis, seek pro- motion of pulp and paper develop ment in the Territory and call foi approval of lower-standsrd forest roads. Senate Bill No. 23, by Sul- livan, deals with Territorial help fol agricultural and industrial fairs while Serate Bill No. 24, by Roden calls for the use of Alaska lumber on public projects.
 Salaries for Trainees
 On motion Of Senator LeRoy Sul- livan the Senate Committee on Edu- cation, Public Health and Morals will determine whether Territorial funds are being expended for trainees ot the Public Health Division of the Department of Health. The investi- gation was occasioned by listing of three persons, believed to be attend ing school outside of the Territory on the payroll of the Division.
 A number of communications were received favoring and opposing es- tablishment of a Territorial Ma tional Guard. A petition signed by a number of citizens of Anchorage requested a system of Territorial liquor stores.

Three bills introduced in the House this afternoon, ask $72,000 for three separate schooi construction pro- jects in addition to three similar bills for other school projects al- ready introduced.
 In addition to the three school construction bills, two memorials came forth and also another bill with reference to absentee voting.
 One memorial, by Representative Coffey, is the revival medium of the perennial battle for the removal of fish traps, but because the memorial was deemed incomplete by it's auth or, it was withdrawn for revision
 Repeal of Toll Tax
 Another memorial, House Joint Memorial No. 20, by Representative Lander, asks Congress to repeal the tool law on the Richardson Highway.
 Lander's memorial asks repeal of the recent law which gave the Sec retary of the Interior power to levy tolls on the Richardson Highway, placing a toll of 21a cents ton on merchandise and freight over 'The Trail" for each mile of the distance between McCarty Ferry on the Tan ana River near Fairbanks and the beginning of the trucking journey.
 Lander said in his memorial that the present tonnage toll is $9 ton, and that it works hardship on the people of the Interior"
 Fish Traps
 Coffey's memorial although with drawn, is in essence, the complete Congressional petition, charging that fish traps are "monopolistic, wasteful, destructive, and conducive to unemployment"
 The Bureau of Fisheries plan for gradual elimination of traps is branded by Coffey as a failure" the memroial claiming no unemploy- ment has so far been reduced and also that the annual "take" of fish has not decreased.
 The school construction bills are as follows: House Bill No. AZ, ask ing $4O0O0 for construction of a school at Snag Point and House Bill No. A, asking s2O00O for school at Unga, both projects in the Third Division and introduced by Coffey and Smith, and McCutcheon and Drager respectively The other school project bill, No. 43, by Porter, asks a sl2,00O expenditure for school con- struction at Haycock, in the Second
