LIFE IS LIKE THAT

In its issue of July 19, the Pub fishers Auxiliary, trade paper pub lished by the Western Newspaper Union in Chicago, printed the fol- lowing item:
 .Mrangei Sentinel recently pub llshed a 1z-page special edition eel- ebrating the PotIatch-erOWning of a new Indian chief for a tribe of h. dians. Lew Williams, former Tacoma News-Tribune man, is publisher. Purchased The sentinel from Mrs. Pritchett. The Sentinel is the oldest newspaper in Alaska"
 In care Of The Sentinel for delivery to Garter Hurley, WrangeI, AL aska, last week came a copy of the Wheatland Gazette. published at Wheatland Iowa, by F. W. Bux- ton. Marked for MT. Hurley's at- tention in MT. Buxton's personal column was the following:
 Catching an interesting article in my copy of the Publishers Au- xiliary regarding the Wrangeu Sem tinel, the oldest newspaper in Alas ka, which issued a 12-page special edition celebrating the Potlatch- crowning of a new Indian chief made me wonder if my old pal, Car ter Hurley, was still mushing a. round Wrangell, and hiyu skoOkum after these soue thirty odd years Bet he could tell me some real hunt ing and fishing yarns now"
 Carter Hurley, Bob" as he was long and well known here, will never get that message from an old friend of 30 years ago. He died last October 12.

TIED R0U la Ta1s POLITICAL
 PERISGOlPE

By their patronage ye shall know them." has been political philoso- phy for a good many generations and il continues to be the core of the political apple, or should we say applesauce. For some times some of the boys and girls, not in the drivers seat, or. in fact. hardly on speaking terms with the driver. have been accusing Albert White. generalissmo of the Republican par ty in Alaska. of holding the reins because he wants to be Governor. when and if the G0Pers get back into power. There's probably more than a grain of truth in it, but we learn from what might be termed an usually reliable source that a deal has been made between the COP leaders whereby D. A. Ras- muson, widely known Alaska bank CT and Republican National Com mitteeman, would be the choice for Governor and political boss. White would accept the humber job, at $5,O00 a year, of Collector of Customs. The Governors job pays $10,O0O with quite a eozy man sion in which to live
 Of course, it should be explained. this reputedly acceptable arrange ment is contingent on a Republican victory and secondly on what the anti-White Reupblians think about it. Seems that Mir. Ed Willkie. brother of COP Presidential Candid ate Wendell Willkie, was up in Ju- neau recently. Brother Ed is in the fish business, being an official of Libby's in Chicago Brother Ed met with a group of the anti-Whites in Juneau and the upshot was that Libby's Ed Willkie is reported to have ayowed he didn't like the White-dominated setup in Alaska and he'd see brother Wendell about it, promising the anti-Whites break if the GOPers are successful in the fall Incidentally, over at the Sitka convention, the White group adopted a plan whereby all appoint ees from the Republican ranks for public jobs in Alaska, if and when the G0Pers win, would have to be approved by the reelected White Central Committee, National Com mitteeman Rasmuson and National Committee woman Mrs. Albert White.

 Still a little irked at Harry Hop kins, Harold Ickes and some of the other New Dealers who pushed Henry Wallace down the throats of the delegates at Chicago whether they liked it or not, Territorial Representative Harvey Smith was returning home to Anchorage this week aboard the Aleutian after at tending the Democratic convention as a delegate. It wasn't anything particularly against Wallace that didn't sit well with many of the delegates, Mir. Smith explained, but, rather, it was the forced pressure put on to nominate him at all costs because the President had indicated

If you like these colors, and have a suitable space somewhere in your home grounds small formal garden like the one illustrated will make an attractive picture throughout the summer.
 In the center may be small pool in which birds can drink and bathe, or bird bath, sundial, fountain or any similar feature. Around it a ribbon planting of dwarf. sweet aIyssum is suggested, though this planting might also be of lobella or even a dwarf marigold, prefer ably or a pale orange or yellow, suggestion of yellow is always well come with either pink or blue.

 Of course the So-called blue pe- tunias are not really blue, and neith- CT is ageratum. In fact, there are few blue flowers. Nearly all have enough red in their augmentation to make them purple, or lavender; but it is convenient to group them all together as member so the blue family, where the blue dominates.
 For a good effect in such gar- den as this, one must be sure to SOW good, well fixed varieties. Re- markable progress has been made in recent years in breeding alys- sum, petunias and ageratum, to pro- duce dwarf, compact plants, well covered with blooms of uniform color.
