 Hess. former Territorial Senator who is in Juneau to attend meet ings of the Alaska Planning Coun- cil, said at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce meeting this noon that the Council was spending most of it's time studying systems to raise more money.
 That will mean more taxes, " Hess said. coupling this statement with his warning that the Legis- lature will stand watching.
 w. c. Arnold of Ketchikan, an- other member of the Planning Council, told the Chamber that the statements of Senator Hess, who has lived in the Territory many years and knows Alaska prob lens, should not be passed over lightly"
 Hess also assured the Chamber that Fairbanks has no designs on the Territorial Capital, that the Golden Heart City is content to rule the greater portion of AL aska without taking in Southeast Alaska.
 A. Polet of Nome, another plan her present, said both Senators from the Second Division, o. D. Cochran and Leroy Sullivan, have been sold" on the desirability of reinstating the appropriation for the Territorial Chamber of Com merce, which appropriation was de- .eated in the 1889 Legislature.

 After Dorothy Ann was put tc bed, she called to her mother that she had just swallowed a safety pin She wanted to go to doctor right away, she said, and after that a trip to Seattle would be nice.
 Another young Mize confirmed Dorothy Anns claim that she hac swallowed q safety pin. It was claeed. Dorothy Ann didn't inhale it into her lung as the Miskin baby had. but just plain swallowed it
 As she was in no pain and nc apparent danger, Dorothy Ann was put back to bed.
 Several days later the danger had passed, the relieved Mixes reported
 Note to parents: Maybe it would be better not to discuss this story before your offspring.
