 From the Alaska Miner
 Each spring hundreds of men looking for empl oyment come into our Territory. Cham bers of Commerce send out desperate warn ings, saying: "Stay away, there is no york;"
 Why is this, when Alaska needs men so badly, men to go out and explore her noun tains and her valleys and start the ground work for great northern empire? It seems that our Chambers of Commerce would be much wiser to say:
 nIf you have health, strength, adapta- bility, and a willingness to work and es- tabli sh yourself in land and share our lives, come. We will teach you the fund amentals of prospecting and of living off the country. We will show you spots on the map of Alaska where you can work out living, and where you have a chance of gaining much more. We new country, and we need men."

 Must Make Good
 Miss Curtis explained that @ role at the opera was not a matter of pull, that once arrived, the singer had to deliver, and enormously hard work was neceSsitated in learning the number of roles that a singer would be asked to fill for his or her particular type voice. She described her own arrival and suc- cess, her years of study and the many difficulties along the road to success. She narrated briefly some of the outstanding operas, "The Magic Flute" the Strauss operas, otello" which opened the present season, "Falstaff" in which Tibbett

LION HUNTERS IN
 STATE MISS OUT

Glastonbury, Conn, Jan. 18.-(UP) The lion-hunting safari, organ ize to track down a mysterious beast which has prowled the Buck ingham section for weeks, Killing dogs and spreading uneasiness among residents, broke up today without finding @ trace of the ani- nal.
 Expert huntsmen mobilized on two occasions to beat the brush, hoping to scare the animal into the open where 1t could be captured or killed. For their pains the hunters bagged 8 partridge and a fox, and never once caught sight of the supposed lion.
 County Game Warden Charles Allshouse, given descriptions of the beast which he compared with pie lures in reference book, said he was certain the animal was moun- tain lion on cougar, and headed the posse.
 A hound, trained in the Ozark mountains to track "big cats" was put on the scent. On the first hunt the hound got winded, developed sore feet and the posse returned to It's bace. Yesterday the hound sniffed for nearly l5 miles but fail- ed to pick up the elusive spoor.

 Such @ bill will be presented jointly by The United Americans and The Connecticut Yankees, at Hartford this week. It will be in- troduced by Attorney Albert l.. Coles, state senator from Bridge- port. This bill has been endorsed by The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil war, State camp as well as divisional camps, by sev- eral other patriotic organizations, fraternal, church groups, and about 15,000 Connecticut citizens have signed petitions calling for such legislation.
 I would also like to say through your paper that any one having petitions on hand to please either mail, or bring them in either to George Holmes of Southbury, or N. H. Bellmay at 83 Rose street, Waterbury, that we may have them on hand to back up our de- 1t comes up for hearing.
