Hugh The Horse

Hugh The Horse
II Hugh Osborne was suspicious
of human nature before, he's down
right without faith in anyone now.
He can't even trust his own wife.
1t all started when Hugh tried to
put himself in the position of a
horse. both literally and figuratiVe-
ly.

that what was good enough for his
nagS was plenty good enough for

trailer where his horses normally
ride and directed his wife to:
Drive me around a bit l

here
Obliglngly, Mrs. Osborne started
out down the road. So Tar 80

borne apparently Dl;tmdly diSreSard-
ed any directions from the trailer.
She did her own driving with
scarcely any regard for the frantic
entreatieS from behind.
At a speed estimated at 80 miles
an hour, Mrs Osborne gave Hugl
every chance in the world to test
the draft in the trailer which
must have been considerable. 1t is
certain however, that Hugh took
no scientific notes during the ride.
He was to busy holding on and
perhaps doing few haSty prayers
to his Maker to avoid any violent
"unmaking". several aStoniShed
friends saw the car and trailer pass,
saw Mrs. Osborne nod courteosly
and then saw Wild-eyed Hugh
with his hair in the wind Hugh did

wise.
Then to add insult to injury,
when the car finally reached the
home ranch Mrs. Osborne peekc /

 Now that Albert White, for years head of the Republican party in Al aska. though the man behind the scenec the last four years, has left the Territory, the Republican poli- ticians, like the mice when the eats away, have started to do a little playing Up In Fairbanks today, the so-ca1led antt-Whites are holding themselves a convention. They are eleeting delegates to the Pbiladel- phia convention Jane 24, writing a platform and just having themselves political time. They announce they expect the delegates to attend the Philadelphia shingdig, too, and get seated But, aye. there's the rub.
 Similar idea was tried at the Cleveland convention four years ago MT Whites delegation was seated and they've been in command of the party in the Territory ever since On May 1, MT. White and his Central committee named delegates to Philadelphia, himself and Mrs. White included. The committee set a COP territorial convention for Sttka after the national convention. If history repeats itself, as some times eontended, the White delega- tion will be seated at Philadelphia and if the other boys and girls don't like it they can attend Mr. Whites Sitka convention and oust him as their party head-if they can Calm, politically shrewd MT White, passing through here last week for a few weeks in the States before going on to Philadelphia, let it be known the situation was we'll in hand At any rate, it is the na- tional chieftains of the party who have called Mir.

WRANGELL ON ITS WAY

Wrangell is enjoying one of itsI best springs in many years These are some of the concrete reasonsI why 1t is
 (1) This week steam was up and the whistle was blowing at the re- constructed Wrangel saWmill call ing a crew of men to work. For about five years the old sawmill, at one time one of tbe best producers in Southeast Alaska. has been idle. l.. L. Meadows and Meredith Custer of the firm of Custard and Meadows have taken it over and after months of hard work are prepared to cut lumber. IL means a new payroll for Wrangell.
 l2) At the Wrangell Cold Stor- age, the work of charging the plant to around one million pounds is we'll under way. A sizeable crew of Workmen have been on the job for several weeks and the new ad- dition, located on the Mccormack Dock, is rapidly taking shape. At the same time, spring repair of the dock is moving ahead
 (3) Work is underway on the new $125,O00 Federal building. Moving of the old buildings has al ready been done and excavation is in progress. Here the Macdonald Construction Company of Tacoma, under it's construction superinten- of men at work.
 l4) Wrangell, mindful of it's strategic location and importance of the tourist business to this com munity and all of Alaska, is putting on a Potlatch celebration to mark the completion of reconstructed Shakes Island as a tourist attraction, and to pay honor to the leader of the Shakes people, Kudanake, who is being elevated to full chieftain- ship. This has meant paint up and clean up in Wrangell. Painters are at work on various buildings throughout the town.
 These may be cited as four of the major reasons why Wrangell is en- toying one of it's best springs. There are other. For example, during the winter work went ahead on the renovated Redmen building, provid- ing excellent store space on the ground floor which will be occupied by Wheeler Drug while the Wheel CT properties are being put in shape The crab and shrimp canneries are again in full swing and the salmon canneries are getting in shape for the seasons operations The troll lers already are visible in goodly numbers in the harbor, catching the willy salmon. The halibut season is on. Fish are coming in and being turned into cash. Operations have started up the Stikine, leading in to the rich Boulder Creek and Dease Lake countries. This week the city received approval of funds for com pleting public projects started dur ing the winter.

 ". B. Kirk, former Nome and Juneau druggist who has been head ing the Territorial Department of Public Welfare since it's inception in 1887, is out. He officially tender ed his resignation to the Welfare Board meeting this week in Juneau, although lie has had it prepared for a long time. MT. Kirk, pioneer Alas kan, was put on the spot rather harshly by the 1889 Legislature. The economy boys badgered Kirk for spending too much money on traveling expenses, particularly by members of his staff to Washington for conferences. That, however, is not the reason for Mr. Kirk's retire ment. He has been in poor health for some time. Fact is, he wasn't a we'll man when he took the job. The strain has been severe and Kirk is retiring of his own Yolition regard less of legislative pressure.
 Russell s. Maynard, Chief Deputy U. s Marshal in the Second Division and publisher with his mother of the Nome Nugget, has been appoint ed to fill the remaining nine months Of Mr. Kirk's term.
 It's a thankless job, pays $4,0O0 year. If the Director spends too much money he draws the wrath Of the lawmakers. If he spends beyond his budget and runs short, he's up against the cry of the needy.

 Resignation of Anthony E. Karnes as Commissioner of Education for the Territory, formally announced last week by the Board of Education at it's annual meeting in Anchorage, was not unexpected to those in touch with the last two years of Karnes' regime. Able educator, good eXecu- tive, Karnes was another victim of legislative pressure. Karnes built schools, tried to serve the most children and keep within his funds. Two or three places didn't get the schools they thought they should have. Legislators, mainly Third Division, sensitive to the voice of the voters in these isolated cases, went after Karnes. It started four years ago, and has been kept up ever since Finally, the Fourth Division got new representation on the Board. This representation demand ed the University of Alaska be giv- en the say so on teachers chosen for the Territory schools. Karnes sup porters on the Board, knowing they would be voted at Anchorage, sim ply had to take it. Karnes, knowing it was coming for more than year, has had his resignation written out for long time, application in for another appointment.
