Had To Prove Worth
Later the cooperative members
elected their own board of direc-
tors. but they still were subject
to control of the AFRO board d.
rectors, who, in turn. were answer
able to Washington. This proved
highly unsatisfactory, as colonists
felt they knew and could solve
their own problems better than the
directors.
The directors were capable Alas
kan business men In their own line,
but they just weren't farmers.
Nevertheless, we still had to prove
to Washington that the coopera-
tive members were capable Of ham
ding their own affairs. We did
this soon after securing the SER
vices Of Mr.. Stock.
ARC stiIl Collects
Then the colony units and man.
agement were turned over to the
cooperative, and that's the way II
now stands.
However, ARC still remains "a
collection agency and retains live
stock, land and the right to fill
vacant tracts with replacement
families. The needy also are cared
for.
The work n q long way from
being over. Poultry flocks and
dairy herds must be increased four
fold. More land must be cleared
and put under cultivation. More
acreage must be thrown open for
development mad settlement. Add
tional farm machinery urgently Il
needed.
All this takes time. and Mr.
Stock estimates another five years
will be required to make the prob
ect economically secure.
But, when 1t Is done, we fee
certain our success will be an in

Fines Bartender
OnLiquor Count

After state liquor control agents
thumbed through their file and
found the right case Thursday
afternoon, James Kerrigan, 80
year-old bartender at the Roma
cafe, 1920 Broadway, was fined
500 and costs by Justice Clar-
ence e. Layton for possession Of
hard liquor to sell by the drink
on Jan. 10.
The state went all through read
ing off its evidence once, and then
decided that was for the wrong
arrest, the one on Jan. 27. Justice
Layton granted a continuance on
Kerrigan's second case until Feb.
but insisted that not only his
but IL other liquor violation cases
against lower Broadway and Pa
cific ave. cafe bartenders be set
tied that day.

CLAIM COPPER
AIDING ENEMY
Canada Opposed to
Shipments Here
to Russia

Copper shipments to Russia from
the Tacoma smelter continued TO
be a paradox of freakish interna-
tional policy as Canadian officials
vainly strove for a solution Of their
dilemma.
Charged with aiding the enemy"
and lesser breaches Of policy, gov
eminent authorities In Ottawa and
Victoria are seeking a way to pre-
vent Canadian ores from getting
to Russia - and presumably. the
Finnish front-via smelling here.
However. 1t In pointed out
by r. G. White, manager Of the
local smelter, Canadian ores
represent only about 10 per
cent Of the smelfer's total re-
ceipts. The ore In delivered
regularly on long-term con-
tract.
White offered further comfort by
calling attention to the 10, 000-ton
monthly copper production of the
smelter, Of which vast amount only
a single shipload of $500 tons has
been shipped to Russia in recent
months.
TITS a wild guess when anyone
says that 1t was Canadian-ore cop
per, at that. About 90 per cent of
ores we get come from places other
than Canada. It's a world-mix we
turn out"
It was further pointed out the
Tacoma smelter buys its ore out
right, Canadian and otherwise, and
Is therefore subject to no foreign
Jurisdiction regarding sales.
