DAWSONITES GO TO
BED WITH MORE ON
THAN IN DAYTIME

The fuel situation has become
worse and worse as sub-zero tenn
peratures continued in the Klon-
dixie according TO the Dawson News
of January %. The interior metro
polls looked like Sleepy Hollow or a
deserted village as everybody re-
NAMED indoors and stocked fires.
The News says, good stoker
these days is worth his weight in
gold. We know of one DEws on
couple who figured they might save
on their dwindling supply Of wood
by going to bed early. They did.
Next morning they awoke to find
the temperature in their house
down around zero and everything
was frozen up, even the cat. They
stay up nights now.
Here's another cold weat h e r
wrinkle that is quickly gaining in
favor. Quite few Dawsonites, so
tbs reported, are retiring at nights,
wearing more clothes to bed than
they wear during the day One hus-
band claims that his wife looked
like an Arctic Eskimo when she fled
for the covers night before last with
a white parka drawn over her night
clothes, ankle socks on her feet,
the parka hood pulled over her
head, and RED wooden mittens on
her hands. The husband reports he
had a hard time trying to make his
spouse get up the following morn
ing J. it was so cozy in bed.
Meanwhile, Dawson continues to
resemble an ice-plated refrigerator
with the door shut and the cooler
process going full blast. But don't
get disheartened The Weather Man
has dropped timely hint that the
spell will break tomorrow some
time. Cross your fingers and touch
wood He may have something there.

KRUPP STEEL WORKS TO
STAY IN "FAMILY"

Adolf Hitler has issued decree
stipulating that the huge Krupp steel
works in Germany shall be main
tanned as a family concern after the
death of the present owner in recog-
milton of "the outstanding services
rendered by the concern in increas-
ing the military striking power of the
nation for 1872 years." the Nazi DNB
agency reported recently.
The decree, according to DNB, pro-
vides that the present owner, Gustav
Krupp Won Bohlen und Halbach, must
draw up family statute" regulating
succession to the family fortune. 1t
also binds the inheritor of the Krupp
estate to use the name of Krupp be-
fore his family name and empowers
the German minister of finance to
grant the Krupps special rates in the
payment of gift taxes or success taxes
in connection with the transfer of
properties.
While the Hitler decree seems at
first blush to be inspired by martial
sentiment and desire to reward the
Krupps, another specification in the
decree indicates that the Fuehrer is
more concerned with keeping the
huge steel works in the hands of
German who can be trusted by the
Nazis

900, and will become the property of
Canada, when the war is over.
Under the agreements, while the U.
S. has borne the entire cost of de-
velopment and construction, the Army
will pay from $1.25 to $2.40 a barrel
for the oil, most of this going as
royalties to the Imperial Oil company.
After taking one and a half million
barrels at these figures, we are sup
posed to get reduction in the barrel
prices. If the war is over by that
time, the contract is cancelled with
the company, debt free.
The Budget Bureau report which
was prepared last May Is, states that
the oil, oil wells and the castings
would belong to the Imperial Oil COM
pany after the war and the company
would have the option to buy all NOV
able installations at the field. I'M
movable installations would belong to
the Canadian government.
The report summarizes its objec-
tives as follows:
at appears from the data at hand
that the same objective could be
reached by supplying products from
the United States to deepwater port
at Skagway in Alaska and distribut-
ing these products to the desired con-
sumption localities by means of the
pipeline distribution system (Which
the Army has built at cost of 1884,
SOC 900 in addition to the 100000, 0O0.)
"This, of course, would entirely
eliminate the development of Norman
producing field, the Normah-White
Horse pipeline and the Norman
White Horse refinery, with resulting
savings in completion time, capital
investment, manpower, critical mate
rails, and operating costs"

Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen und Hal
bach, who has no children, is allowed
by the decree. to choose his heir, and
presumably he will select him from
other members of the Krupp family.
Nevertheless, under the decree the
will is subject to Nazi approval. 1t
provides that the family statute"
must be registered in court, becoming
valid only after receiving Hitler's
sanction.
Thus, the decree makes it possible
for the Nazis to keep the vast steel
works in private" hands under the
control of a "Krupp" who owes his
fortune to Adolf Hitler.

! A substantial portion of the spring
wheat crop, particularly that grown
in the section known as the west
side of the Triangle and which is
closer to the mountains, is damaged
by frost ranging from very slight to
very severe. Some lots contain as
much as 500 of frost damaged kerr
nels which are discolored black,
brown or green, or are badly wrinkled
and heavily bran frosted. There is,
also, some old spring wheat from
storage which shows the effects of
fermentation and heating.
There is some increase in mixtures
of spring wheat found in the winter
of more than 500. There is very
substantial increase, however, in the
moistures of winter wheat in spring;
particularly that grown in the usual
winter wheat areas including parts Of
the Triangle and Judith Basin. This
increase in mixture is very definite
over previous years due to winter kill
ing and re-seeding to spring wheat.
Their are very few mixtures of spring
wheat from sections east of Chinook
on the Great Northern, including SEQ
hey and all northeastern Montana or
from sections other than parts of the
Triangle and Judith Basin.
The smut problem seems to be pref
ty we'll under control Only a very
small portion of the winter wheat
contains smut. Occasional lots run
very heavy in smut, however. The
spring wheat shows less smut than
winter.
There is very marked increase in
samples and carloads of barley and
flaxseed submitted for testing this
year. About one-third of the barley
samples tested is of the six-rowed
variety; one-third is of the two-rowed,
and the balance is a mixture of the
two. Most of the barley is of excel
lent quality and high grade as feed
barley. Also, some of it is selected
for the manufacture of alcohol and
synthetic rubber. Very little meets
the United States standards for malt
ing barley.
Flaxseed is, also, of high grade and
quality except that portion caught and
damaged by frost.
Dockage in flaxseed usually ranges
from 400 to 5000, the average dock
age being about 1919 which s about
the same as other years.

Facts: Sam Mercer was found gull
ty of contempt in the justice court.

trict court.
