CHAPTER XVI

With his crew rounded up and
fresh water aboard the Holokai, Dick
Wayne went ashore to phone Homo
lulu by wireless. He did not sup
pose that his brothers would want
him to mix in any more than they
could help; but it seemed only de-
cent to ask what the situation was,
before he left Alakoa on voyage
that would keep him away for
matter of weeks. James Wayne's
estate, embracing all of Alakoa, was
hanging fire, and he supposed he
owed it to them to tell them where
he was going.
He sat at James Wayne's old desk,
up above in the house that Garrett
Waterson himself had built, and fid-
died with the phone for the better
part of half an hour before he got
connection which would do. 1t was
Charles Wong whom he reached at
last.
Charles Wong, it turned out, was
differing in state of mental con-
fusion and disorder.

for two days." Wong chartered. II
was about to come to Alakoa. Ev-
erything is terribly upset-it's abso-
lutely necessary that you come
here"
"What's the matter now?"
"Your brothers are absolutely I'M
able to reconcile themselves to the
will. If they cannot reach an agree
ment with you, / am almost GER
tain that they will try to break it.
You had better come here and talk
to them as soon as possible. The
disturbance is unimaginable, but AL
alxoa is going to suffer if"
''What was the matter with the
will?"
''Oh nothing, sir, nothing! But nat
ural1y your brothers are very much
surprised. Certainly you must have
anticipated that they would"
II don't even know what was in
the WILL" Tonga Dick told him.
''Why-why-you haven't heard?"

my brothers left here"
A considerable hesitation, decorat-
ed with unacceptable spluttering
noises, represented Charles Wong's
dumbfoundment. "The will gives
you the controlling interest in Ala
koa," Wong finally managed to get
out.
''Who--me?" Dick said stupidity.
eyes, sir. There are certain spe-
cial provisions that seem intended to
give your brothers a practically
equal income; but you are given a
ffty-one per cent interest, and abso-
lutte management Of everything"
'sI'm supposed to run the whole
eockeyed thing?"
''You control it, yes, sir. The cat
tie production, and the plantations,
and the mills-everything."
There was much more to it, and
a good deal of it Dick was unable
to understand from Charles Wong's
disorganized explanations. Dick sup
posed that he could not expect to un-
derstand James Wayne's dispense
tons in detail until he had had a
thorough consultation with whole
board Of attorneys. But the main in
tent was clear. James Wayne had
put Tonga Dick in control Of Alakoa.
"But think your brothers are 60
ing to try to break the WILL" Charles
Wong finished.
They aren't going to break any
thing" Dick answered. W

WEST COAST
AND LAP ENEMY

FIRST the defense Of England and
the defeat of Hitler is the strategy
of our military commanders, and
we should and must let them make
the decision, but people on the West
coast feel the Japs are thinking the
defeat of the United States is the
first object to be accomplished. To
the people of the West coast, Eng
land and Hitler are long way off,
but without straining themselves
they can see the Japs peeping over
the western horizon.

Council Is OtiOse
Flip Thumbs Down
On New Laws
Don't like this; don't
like that; pass up
everything but bills

If thumbs down still means MOTH
ing doing. the city council Tuesday
evening put the nix sign on prac-
tically everything.
Word was received from the Fed
eral health department that Ken
newick'S proposed hospital had been
turned down for lack Of military ne
cesSity. This after a special meet
ing Of the council "a week previously
where funds were voted for a joint
health center with Franklin county.
Word was received that no federal
funds would be allocated for the pur-
pose which brought up the current
headache regarding the federal mi
gratory labor camp. Two or three
councilmen reported experiences re-
garding the camp which were any
thing but favorable.
Chief grippe concerning the camp
seems to be that the workers are
labor agitators, attempting to get
hour rates considerably higher than
the current wage and being unwill-
ing or unable to do enough work
to justify the pay. Inability to get
the workers, and unsatisfactory per-
Torrance and constant turnover
were the chief objections, although
the city police have experienced
trouble in the camp as well.
The long-debated plumbing ordi-
nance came up and was postponed
until later session. It was too long
to be considered, provisions en-
bodied therein We're impossible of
compliance under present war re-
strictionS and the crowded living
conditions made even civilian COM
pltarce difficult.
Under recent rulings by the SUI
preme court, ordinances prohibiting
the distribution Of hand bills can
now be enforced. The long-await-
ed local handful ordinance was
briefly discussed and the council
flipped heir thumbs down-tempor-
arily, at least.
A great, long zoning ordinance
also received the negative gesture,
because the councilmen didn't want
to stay any longer, even though for
the first time this year there were
six membrs Of the council present.
The council also refused to take
part in a neighborhood squabble in
the west end of town, concerning the
vacation of a plated street.
The current batch OF bills were
the only items to get the nod from
the council.

here this noon. due to our about
war effort, the vastly increased in
come, a steadily decreasing manu-
facture and the price ceilings now
imposd win undoubtedly cause many
small businesses to go to the wall.
The only alternative" Holmes con-
tinued, lis for a government subsidy
such as is now in effect in England
to be established here"
Holmes, former professor of eco
Monies and social science at Central
Washington College of Education at
EllenSburg, is also a business man
and successful sheep man and live
stock operator. He is an expert in
taxation and public. finance.
He has resigned his school work
to become an active candidate for
congress from the Fourth district.
Quoting the astronomical figures
dealing with federal financing,
Holmes said that this government
was facing the inflationary posi-
bilities which confronted Germany
in the other war. He said that in
this war, this country was attempt
ing to first, win the war, but along
with it lay plans for fighting the
peace to follow. He said that some
sixty bureaus and special commit
tees were now engaged in securing
data and plans for preventing the
violent postwar readjustment.
While Holmes very carefully
avoided all mention of his candi-
dacy, nevertheless, his hearers were
impressed with his knowledge Of
world finance, taxation, etc. His
grasp of the problems now facing
the country and his keen analysis
appealed to his hearers. .-..

growers as to their labor require
ments, especially for the month of
July. Every farmer who needs addi-

in the final capituation of Corregi-

relatives here this week Whether or
not he is a casualty is not definitely
known by the War Department, ac-
cording to the information received.
In a letter to J.. A. Mclean of the
Highlands, the Adjutant General
wrote: deeply regret that it is i'm
possible for me to give you more in
formation than is contained in this
letter. In the last days before the
surrender of Bataan there were cas-
ualties which were not reported to
the War Department. Conceivably
the same is true of the surrender of
Corregidor and possibly of other is
lands in the Philippines. The Jap
anese government has indicated its
Intention of conforming to the terms
of the Geneva Convention with re-
spect to the Interchange of infor-
NATION regarding prisoners of war.

'The War Department will con-

Insurance May Be
VOided by Gas Hoarding

Persons who store supplies OF
gasoline on their premises in an eff
fort to avoid rationing, will create
a serious fire hazard and may void
their insurance policies, Fire Chief
Carol Pratt warns.
There are dangerous aspects in
storing gasoline in garages, base
ments or othr places not properly
equipped for it, and gasoline vapor
may be ignited by a spark of static
electricity when the fluid is poured
from a metal container into an auto
mobile tank, bulletin from the I'M

Most containers are not suited TO

However, all kinds of metal are

against the law to destroy rub
