connected the tracts with the main
line at Beverly. High quality
pears and other fruits were pro-
duced here for export to some of
the choice markets of the world,
commerce made possible by refri-
orator cars developed in connec-
ton with Identification.
Another means of refrigeration
in long distance hauling is the use
of dry ice" Three tons of this
product are manufactured daily
by the Gas Ice Corporation Of
Klickitat from natural carbon di-
oxide well at Klickitat Mineral
Springs.
Just below Klickitat, on the
north shore of the Colu m b a ,
stretches the Bingen-White Sal
mon district, which also developed
an important fruit exporting bust
ness during the early part of the
present century. And across from
it on the Oregon side of the river
is the Hood River valley, world
famous for its fruit. The first
permanent settlers of this valley
were Nathaniel Coe and his fam
lily, who set out the first apple or
chard. It was not until 1900, how
ever, that a carload of Hood River
apples was shipped to New York,
an event which brought to the val
ley an influx of gentlemen farm
ers." In 1910 came Washington's
future Senator Earl Coe from Min
neapolis, who settled at Bingen
and began the development of Or
chards in that vicinity which pro-
duced on q large scale for domesic
and export markets.
One of the loveliest fruit-grow.
ing districts in all America-Med-
ford, in the heart of Oregon's
Great Northern completed the
Rogue River valley, producing
pears, apples, plums, peaches, al
fonds and grapes had its big
boom during this first decade Of
the l900's. Its population, accord
ing to census figures, jumped from
LOO to almost 5000.
Similar expansions took place in
all the valleys along the eastern
edge of the Cascades in both Ore
gon and Washington. Wenatchee
put in its high line ditch and car
ried it across the Columbia on q
steel cantilever bridge, so that wa
ter was distributed on both sides
of the river. In 1906 citizens of
Chelan, eager to get q railroad
connection, entertained Louis W.
Hill in a big way; and in 1912 the
branch line they had sought, rum
ming from Wenatchee to Oroville.
Beebe, a wealthy Boston merchant
came west that year, decided to
take up orcharding and purchased
lands along the Columbia from
Chelan to Brewster to be develop
ed by the Wenatchee-Beebe Or
chard company.
And so it went. Everybody and
his cousin were after irrigated
lands. Nor was this all. Indeed
the race for raw land was even
greater, for this was the poor
mans opportunity. Irrigated land
required capital, but the home
seeker without savings might set
tie on the dry land and hope to
wrest from it q living by the hard
toll of himself and family. And Of
this kind of land there. still was q
plenty. A glimpse Of the situation
is to be had from the following

Interior Dept. Making Geological Survey Of Alaska
tBY Vern Haugland)

WASHINGTON, (P) The h. terior Department disclosed today it is making a thorough geological search to determine whether Alas ka may be a source of uranium, the basic material for atomic en- ergy and the atom bomb.
 Also under survey are Alaska's potentialities in oil, coal, gold and radium, and means of coping with the construction problem of vol canic activity and permafrost- the permanently frozen ground which underlies the Territory.
 The departments geological survey said in a report to Secre- tary Krug 56 geologists took part in a summer-long field study which covered a wide range. Lab oratory analyses of their finds will continue throughout the winter.
 Underlining the importance at tached to the survey, the report said the areas studied and the to- tai number of men employed are being withheld "for security req sons." It gave no hint whether the field workers discovered uranium in worthwhile quantities.
 John C. Reed special assistant to survey director w. E. Wrather, told a reporter the main purpose of the explorations is to pinpoint underground resources, particular ly those expended in huge quanti- ties during the war. The interior department also hopes to break the grip of gold on Alaska'S econ- omy by opening up other sources

Aviation COnfab Lists Problems

ANCHORAGF-Winding up the first aviation conference in Alas ka, airmen from widely scattered parts of the Territory Friday adopted a string of resolutions covering air problems and created the Alaska Air Transport Associa- tion as their permanent organiza- ton.
 Marshall C. Hoppin, president of Alaska Airlines, was elected president of the new organization which will press for improved conditions and services for the public and aviators.
 The conference listed II air ports throughout the Territory that warrant immediate improve ments under the federal aiport ap- propriations. These included An chorage and Fairbanks for trans port operations and Class II or larger airports for Wangell, Peters burg, Valdez, Dillingham;, Seldovia, Hog River near Bettles, Kotzebue, Sleitmut and Bethel.
 At the same time the airmen ex- pressed the belief that it would be preferable to use federal funds to build many smaller fields instead of devoting it to a few large fields.
 Other resolutions favored Terri torial legislation to strengthen safety regulations, improve navi- gating aids, to construct, maintain and operate airfields.
 One resolution urged the Civil Aeronautics Board to take appro- priate action in clarifying the rules for operating. The airmen declared that at present some operators hold certificates and others do not and

Ketchikan Unions Tie-Up Relief Ship Unloading
RPB MA-6O7

SEATTLE, (P)-Drastic restric- tions on cargo bound for Ketchi- kan, Alaska, were ordered today by three Seattle shipping com panies serving Alaska after word was received from the northern port that the first vessel to arrive there after the prolonged mari time strike was involved in a jar isdictional dispute between rival AFL-CIO unions.
 The new order places immediate restriction on Ketchikan cargo loadings to only one hatch on yes sells loading in Seattle. Cargo amounts also will be limited pend ing settlement of the dispute, of- ficials said.
 The Ketchikan dispute hinges on who shall man the winches and matches, the AF'L-sailors union of the Pacific or the ClO-lnterna- tional longshoremen's and ware housemen's union.
 Attorney l.. o. Gore said in Ketchikan that the Northland Transportation company's North Sea will unload only one hatch at a time as a result of the dispute.
 "We cannot operate that way" he said. "It would mean a four or five day tieup each time"
 William Semar, president of Northland, said in Seattle that un- der. the steamship companies con- tracts with the unions all avail able sailors union men are to be given work in the unloading of ships at Ketchikan and then, If any jobs are not filled, Ketchikan

dent. She also remarked that
the anparitien must have been
an Illusion on her husbands part
However she gave way to d GER
tain amount of skeptieism, be-
cause of recent occurrences in Alb
beytoWn.
News of Mr.. Dreyford's exper-
fence spread about the town
quickly, and caused no small
amount of gossip concerning Mr.,
Maldin and his secluded activi-
ties.
Eventually the authorities
heard about this gossip and de
cided to call upon Mr.. Maldin.
Calling in the daytime, natural
ly they were confronted by Rich
ard Dreyford only. They were
unable to arouse, Mr.. Maldin,
nor gain entrance to his quart
ers. They left, telling Richard
they would return another day.
When Mr. Maldin made his APP
pearance in the evening, Richard
told him of the visitors. But Mr..
Maldin ignored it, remarking
that his time was too valuable to
be disturbed by anyone not con-
nected with or interested in his
wares, and that he was never to
be disturbed during his hours of
retirement.
Richard was on his way to
work as usual the next morning
He was halfway up the walk
when he noticed blood spots
leading toward the rear of the
house. Curiously he traced the
spots, which ended at door
that was a rear entrance, and
glancing upon the ground he
noticed an earring lying in one
of the small pools of blood. Rich
ard quickly felt that something
terrible had taken place there
the previous night Likewise, he
was conscious of something
strange and formidable about the
whole house and its master.
Richard Dreyford did not GO
IN to work, but went to the cher
ifs office and reported his gru-
some discovery. The sheriff, ac-
companied by several of his de
puties, Immediately went to the
home of Mr.. Maldin and sought
to gain entrance. They were
unable to get into the shop, but
they went into the display room
They found only a display OF
baskets there. No amount OF
knocking and calling could bring
