 It also asks that an immed- fate engineering survey be made of the natural basins advocated by the Mayor of Kodiak"
 "On the face of it," the letter continues, fit seems that the basins will provide storage in the least time with the least ex- penditure of material for the purpose. 16,000 yards of earth can be removed in very short time and the pipe run appears to be the shortest possible from the storage to the distribution system"

Merchants Form C.. of C.; Col. Wm. D. Frazer Heard

Col. Wm. Frazer, command ing, Fort Greedy, on his behalf and for Capt. Dyer, command ing, NOE, spoke to the Chamb- CT of Commerce Thursday even ing on the matter of post-clty re- lationships.
 He began by pointing out that Kodiak enjoyed boom, with the influx of civilian workers, similar to gold rush booms of other Alaska towns in previous years, but that now "with prac- tically all civilian base workers gone the situation has altered, but ulany merchants do not real- ize it".
 Briefly outlining the recent difficulties in relationship, Col. Frazer said. "The situation here recently required us to request city authorities to correct cer- tain evils that the naval depart ment felt existed in this city. We asked the cooperation of city of fcials but they were not so ready to cooperate at that time. The resulting impa>se, along with the tactical situation. required deny- ing passes. Through efforts of the business men and after re- consideration on the part of the officials they agreed to suppress conditions We are taking them at their word.
 "As the result of the confer ences number of things came to light bearing on relationships be- tween the post and tine city
 Among them he named the matter of observance "of the set of rules we have adopted" for IT, quor control; the mat CT of sani- tary conditions and comfort sta- tions; and "the great varlation in prices on the things servicemen Ike to buy"
 Col Frazer emphasized the latter, explaining that "if you meet us half way there will be no occasion for anything but hap py existence on the part of ev eryone" a matter of paramount concern because the military establishment here is on per manent basis and no doubt will exist here and grow in import ance after the war"
 
 If tl,e business men are unable to control certain individuals and groups Col. Frazer said it might be necessary to use "out of bounds procedure against them, explaining it was the Army's last and only recourse to justice in cases like that"
 After giving specific examples of how the Army maintained ifs part in cooperation, in matters of health, fire protection, full co- operation with civil authorities in law enforcement, roads and "in any emergency, regardless of what 1t may be-, he closed by saying i've believe we can all live happily together here and we will do our part in maintaining a friendly attitude between the eitv opd thn y,Oct V

Radiant Reds Take
Fancy to Younger Set

Again red triumphs on the fall
and winter color card The new
this-season reds are of the brightest
radiant sort. Just now the young
set and even those not so young
are clamoring for red coats done in
flannel or tweeds and variously
styled, from officer-type coats to
short toppers. Every young girl
feels the urge for a red jumper dress
to be worn with either the lingerie
blouse or with a gay plaid waist.
The bright red dickey is liked with
the tailored suits, and often hats and
bags in red are made to match. TITS
said that there has never been such
long and continued stretch of popu-
larity for red as keeps registering
on and on from several seasons
back.

CHATTERER is SURE THIS
is HIS LAST DAY

THERE was no hope, not the teen
l. iest-weeniest ray of hope in the
heart of Chatterer the Red Squirrel,
as Farmer Browns Boy picked up
the wire rat-trap in which Chatter
er was a prisoner and started for
the house-Black Pussy, the cat,
following at his heels and looking
up at Chatterer with cruel, hungry
eyes. Chatterer took a farewell look
at the Old Orchard and way beyond
it the Green Forest from which he
had been driven by fear of Shadow
the Weasel. Then the door of the
farmhouse closed and shut 1t all
out. If there had been any hope in
Chatterer's heart, the closing Of that
door would have shut the last bit
out But there wasn't any hope.
Chatterer was sure that he was to
be given to Black Pussy for her
breakfast.
Farmer Browns Boy put the trap
down on a table. ''What have you
there?" called a great voice. It

Farmer Brown laughed a big
hearty laugh. '"True enough, Moth
err" said he. ''The trouble is, they
get out Of place. Now this little
rascaPs place is down in the Green
Forest and not up in our corncrib."
'Then put him back in his right
place!" was the prompt reply, and
they all laughed.
Now all this time poor Chatterer
was thinking that this surely was
his last day. You see, he knew he
had been thief, and he knew that
Farmer Browns Boy knew it. He
just crouched down in a little ball
too miserable to do anything but
'tremble every time anyone came
near. He was sure that he had seen
for the last time the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows and jolly
Mr.. Sun and all the other beautiful
things he loved so, and it seemed
as if his heart would burst with de-
spair.

"I've got the thief who has been
stealing our corn in the crib" re-
piled Farmer Browns Boy, "and
who do you think it is?"
Zone of those pesky rats" re-
piled Farmer Brown. "I'm afraid
you've been careless and left the
door open some time and that is
how the rats have got in there"
"But it isn't rat and don't
believe that there is rat there,
replied Farmer Browns Boy, in
triumph. 'It's that little red scamp
of a squirrel we've seen racing along
the wall on the edge Of the Old Or
chard lately. I can't imagine how
he got in there, but there he was
and now here he is"
"What are you going to do with
hirn?" asked Farmer Brown, COM
ing over to look at Chatterer.
II don't know" replied Farmer
Browns Boy, unless give him to
Black Puss' for her breakfast. She
has been teasing for him ever since
I found him." Farmer Browns Boy
looked over to the other side of the
table as he said this and his eyes
twinkled with mischief.
"Oh, you mustn't do that! That
would be cruel!" cried a soft voice.
''You must take him down to the
Green Forest and let him CO." A
gentle face with plying eyes was
bent over the trap. Gust see how
frightened the poor little thing is!
You must take him right down to
the Green Forest right after break

isn't that just like Mother?"
cried Farmer Browns Boy. II be-
lieve it would be just the same with
the ugliest old rat that ever lived.
She would try to think of some
excuse for letting it CO."
"God made all the little people
who wear fur, and they must have
some place in His great plan," said
Mrs. Brown.
