efforts at channeling Alaska's an- nual fur harvest through Southeast Alaska with goal of making Ju- neau a principal outlet for Alaska furs. While his attention is devoted mainly to the wholesale end of the business-the buying and marketing of raw furS-he maintains a retail store in Juneau in which he offers the finest in unprocessed Alaskan furS as we'll as manufactured fur garments for the choice of discrim- mating local patrons and tourists alike.
 Plans for the new Goldstein Build ing gave particular attention to pro- viding the last requirement. in quar- ters for the GoldStein Fur Store. Thoroughly dissatisfied with store, space in the Baranof and Gastineau Hotel buildings which he was forced to occupy as an expedient after the fire that consumed the old building, Goldstein made certain that his new store quarters would satisfy every demand of the fur business.
 No Competing Furs
 Despite the huge loss in raw and manufactured furs that he sustained in that disastrous fire, he is again able to show a store filled with furs < nd fur garments for every choice Among the manufactured garments are to be found some furs that or

He felt that he must cut down on his enterprises and so closed hls merchandising activities.
 Conversely, Goldstein was active in conservation measures. He felt that stepped-up trapping methods were clearing fur-bearing game from the Territory. Always an ad- mirer of the Indian methods, he saw with regret that even the natives were being corrupted by white prac- tices and denuding whole areas not only of the game itself but of the seed for another years crop.
 Goldstein feels, however, that the Alaska Game Commission is making worthwhile progress in the cOllScr- vation of Alaska's fur-bearers. The group of Alaskans sitting as Con- mission members understands the problems to be faced and are to be complimented on the way they are tackling their task, he said. No one in the fur business wants to sec the Territory's population of fur animals depleted, rather the aim of the deal CTS is to work with the Game Com mission to see that their business is perpetuated.
 Southeast Fur Center
 No longer travelling the Territory himself, Charles Goldstein now di- rects his agents in the field from his Juneau headquarters, aiming his

the vicinity of Sacramento, Cal.
 In California, Goldstein met his future wife. For four years the young couple resisted the call of the North. Then they pulled stakes and came to Juneau where they op- erated combination general store and trading post.
 Those were colorful days in the Territory. Juneau was then the main fur trading center and one of three major settlements in Alaska. The harbor was filled with the huge, 50-foot dugouts as Yakutat, Taku and Chilkat Indians arrived with their furs and slaves to trade for white mans goods. At one time Goldstein recalls counting 150 of the native craft lining the Juneau banks three deep.
 Alaska moved then by canoe or foot. Furs came down from the hills on packboards, up the water ways by dugout It was a golden age for furs. The forests were filled with game and the Indian conser- vation system assured never-end- ing supply.
 Indians Conserved
 Tn conservation the natives were far ahead of any plan introduced by the whites" Goldstein says. "The Indians adopted certain period for

 Goldstein recounts that the years of World War II were exceptionally good years in the fur business-5oth retail and wholesale and the demand for furs has continued into peace and is still far from being satisfied, he feels.
 Not just a shrewd businessman, Charles Goldstein loves the beauty of the fine furs which are his stock in trade. His heart is in the fur business and it is with warm glow of anticipation that he looks to the good years he sees ahead.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 1.-THE
first sight of the mighty Columbia
River on the train trip from Poca-
tello. Idaho, to Portland, is a
breath taking one.
The train tracks seem to cling to
the edges OF the fir and spruce lined
banks of its buttes and canyons as
this great western river sweeps on
in It's winding way to the Pacific.
Along its entire length it has no
flood plain, but is always cutting its
own bed. Often its palisades remind
one of those on the Hudson River
but they are upon a far greater
scale.
All along the way are evidences of
the chief industries which charac-
teriZe Oregon. The river itself is one
of the greatest salmon streams in
the world. The range varies from
numbering. fishing and canning to
vast orchards and great harvests of
ripening grain,
The origin of the rivers name has
been the occasion for much contro-
versy. A Captain Robert Gray from
Boston, once gave it the title OF his
ship. the Columbia. This supplanted
its earlier name, Oregon.
Similar to ID. G.

FBI Opens Inquiry
Of Voting Practices
I'm Missouri Primary
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 18.-Th'
Federal Bureau of Investigation
today turned it's spotlight on ar
alleged vote fraud in the Dem

county where "a political un-
known, backed by the President
and the Pendergast Democratic
organization, defeated Repre-
sentative Slaughter for renomi-
nation in Missouri's 5th con-
gressional district.
The FBT began its investigation
following an independent inquiry by
the Kansas City Star which resulted
in a series of stories containing
charges of Irregularities at the polls
The newspaper disclosed that FBl
agents had called for all the in

election in which Enos Axtell

feated Mr.. Slaughter.

FBI agents, who said orders fol
the investigation came from the
Justice Department, also visited the
election board here but its members
remained silent on the purpose OF
the visit. Its chairman, LudWlck
Graves, said tersely:
"I am giving out no statement"
It was the second time in 10 years
that an election here has been in
vestigated by a branch of the Gov
ernment. In 1896, a Federal in
vestigation resulted in the trial OF
l. 259 persons, mostly ward workers
and the conviction OF scores.

Even as the FBI turned its atten-
ton to the election, two investiga-
tors of the House Committee on

completed their investigation of the

ment saying:
