As Torch
lqniies Fumes

Hundreds witnessed firemen put
down a blaze this afternoon on the
seine boat Maine at the Upper City
Float.
Mechanics, working on the Maine,
lit blow torch and there was sort
of an explosion"
Water and chemicals were applied
and the fire was put down in short
order, but not until boat owners
had frantic time of pulling out
into the bay away from the burning
Maine
Damage was almost entirely below
decks and was unestimated as to
extent.
The Maine, a 55-foot vessel, is
owned by native Robert Austin.
The fire gave occasion for the first
run of the new streamlined Sea-
grave fire truck recently purchased
by the City of Juneau, and it was
generally agreed that driver Joe
Hill brought the new truck to the
fire in record time.

RANGE WARS ARE
Seen IN "k0NGA"
NOW AT CAPITOL
Fred Stone Is Featured in
Novel Columbia Film
Opening tonight

Thrilling, colorful and exciting, a
new kind of outdoor action drama
opens tonight at the Capitol Thea
tire. Columbia's 'Konga, the Wild
Stallion With Fred Stone, Ro-
chelle Hudson and Richard Fiske
leading a capable cast through
the intricacies of range war, ro-
nance and the love of a man for
his horse, the new drama is en-
HANGED by the presence of one OF
the most beautiful and intelligent
animals yet to appear on the screen
'Konga" is the name and the per-
Torrance of this sleek thorough
bred will evoke admiration from
all who see him.
Appearing in the role of wild
stallion, this magnificent animal,
sensitive, alert and highly intelli-
gent. captures immediate admira-
ton
The drama centers upon the
plSHo VI VI oiiSc, FSeSi e'ii
horse breeder. His holdings are
heavily mortgaged because he per-
sists in raising fine, blooded stock
despite the public's preference for
automobiles. Yance's herd, led by
"Konga," continually makes forag-
ing raids into the wheat fields
owned by Yance's wealthy neigh
Dor, Hadley.
The dispute ends in a melo-
dramatic climax, made highly ef-
fective by a series of honestly
drawn and superbly acted charac-
terizations.

ROAD MONEY FOR ROADS
pasadena Star-NeWs)

California motorists-the general pub
lie, in other Words-are firmly commit
ted to the policy of no diversion of high
way funds for other purposes. Yet the
diversion of the gasoline tax continues,
with the federal government as the worst
offender.
California motorists pay around ST.
100000 a year into the national treasury
in the form of a one-cent tax per gallon
on fuel for their cars. The state tax on
gasoline is three cents per gallon. There
is an additional one-cent tax levied by
congress. The central government may
be credited with $8,O00,000 year in
various forms of highway subventions
advanced to the state. These benefits,
however, were allowed long before the
federal gasoline tax was imposed How
ever leaving at one side any claim be-
yond the money that California contri-
butes to the nation through the medium
of the one-cent per gallon gasoline tax,
there still is balance of $9,000,000 per
annum on which this state should be
able to draw for highway purposes.
At the annual convention of the north
ern California chapter of the Associated
General Contractors at San Francisco
recently, State Engineer Charles H. Pur
cell, who is slated to become official traf
fic consultant for San Francisco, ad-
vanced the proposal that the federal gov
ernment return that $9,O00OOO to Cali
fornia each year, the money to be de-
voted primarily to the improvement of
main roads in the states municipalities.
Whether or not this is the most feasible
use for the fund, there certainly is merit
in the demand
