Rosemary flushed guiltily. She had

Rosemary's usually sober head was

Johnny Apple Core made no bones

bloomed under it like a young peach

"How's the debate coming?" her
mother queried between meetings.
Rosemary started violently. The

She had not been thinking about
the debate lately. Johnny's superb

tSeattle Post-Intelligencer)
 Get them back into the country. Let them see what Alaska is really like
 With these words, Ernest E. Walk CT, chief landscape architect of the United States Forest Service, who arrived in Seattle Saturday from a seven-week survey of the northern Territory, described the aims of the service in developing recreational facilities there.
 "Alaska's tremendous scenic re- sources and recreational opportun- ities may prove to be one of the Ter ritory's major industries, ranking alongside of mining" Walker de- clared.
 The field is rich for anthropolo- glsts, botanists, biologists and pal eontologists. The time will come when facilities are provided for peo- pie to leave the coastal steamers and get back into the country where they can fish, hike, and enjoy the scenic beauty"
 Territorial Survey
 Walker made survey of the Ter ritory at the request of F. A. Silcox, chief of the United States Forest Service, Robert Marshall, chief of the division of recreation and lands and Frank B. Heinztleman, Regional Forester for Alaska.
 He covered by plane and boat the Tongass National Forest in South east Alaska, including the Lake Has, seiborg area and Sitka, the recrea- tional areas near Juneau, the Chug- ach National Forest, the Renal Pen insuia and the Russian River dis trict. near Seward.

 There are regions in Alaska where all the year round the winter sports facilities are so good they may be mentioned, even in the same breath. with Mount Rainier and Mount Hood, he said
 Back from KeJchikan are great skiing and fishing grounds, hot springs and waterfalls. The Anchor age sector also has excellent ski snow. The aim of the Forest Service is to make these accessible to tour ists, he explained.
 The Forest Servicc also would like to see travellers stop few days in Seattle on their way north so they may discover the advantages of this part of the country, too, he said.
 Walkers particular division of the forestry department deals with the laying out of buildings such as lodges and shelters, and the planning of routes to lead into the territory.
 The problem, he explained, begins first with a conservation of scenic values.
 Alaska is practically unspoiled."
 Then Forest Service facilities must be designed to fit into the scenery, and harmonize with the theme of nature. Walker will leave tonight for Salt Lake City and Denver from where he will proceed to his head quarters in Washington, D. C., to draw up report of his survey.

Assassinated President Mckinley

Assassinated President Mckinley
Leon Czolgosz, the assassin Of
President Mckinley, carried the gun
beneath a handkerchief that was
wrapped around his right hand. The
President was holding public re-
ception at the Pan-American expo
sition at Buffalo, shaking hands with
those who passed in the line. The
secret service men were standing
about, watching those in the line
closely. AS Czolgosz came along,
they saw that his right hand was
covered with handkerchief, but
they suspected nothing, thinking his
hand was merely bandaged. When
Mckinley extended his hand to Czol-
gosz, the assassin fired two shots,
one Of. which was fatal.
