SUNDBORG SEES NEW
 ERA FOR TERRITORY

JUNEAU-Alaska' industries at tomorrow are looking forward to- ward a more stable, prosperous and progressive era than the Territory has ever known, according to Geo. Sundborg, General Manager of the Alaska Development Board, who re- turned to Juneau this week from 20 days of. conferences with indus trial and trade prospects on the Pacific coast.
 Everywhere I found business leaders with Alaska development Intentions counting on statehood and the changes which self-govern- ment, year-round industry and a larger population will bring Sundborg said.
 He mentioned that several West Coast pulp and paper groups which are actively figuring on Alaska oI- erations now include in their long term payout plans allowances for Alaska taxaton more or less in line with that prevailing generally in the States and say they are happy to do so.
 Tt was encouraging, too, to find that these concerns recognize that the fishing industry in Alaska must not be made to decline as other activities advance" Sundborg declared. He said the pulp pros poets were being careful to provide in original plant designs provisions for eliminating any pollution dan ger to fish or other aquatic fife from sulfite liquor or other wastes
 Sundborg met with pulp and paper officials in San Francisco and Los Angeles. He found thelr plans for early operation in Alas ka shaping up steadily, he said. The Development Board head also participated in hearings and dis cussions at Seattle on water trans portatiOn to Alaska, explored AL aska trade possibilities vita busi- ness leaders at Portland, met with the new Alaska Development Com mittee of the Governors Advisory

CHAPTER XIX

She had to warn Valdez. II show you
sign-my sign, yes-but killers sign,
too. Can you read sign?'
"'Course I can read sign," said the
sheriff Indignantly. "Come on, show
US, hombre."
Juanita led her captors to the spot
near where Pringle lay dead. It was
not long time before daylight, and she
knew that in another few minutes the
darkness of just before dawn would be
thickest-like an Opaque curtain. Then
she prayed-would begin her head
long ride to save Valdez.
She quickly kindled small fire and
pointed out the prints.
"The sign of the killers horse, senor,"
she told him. "You see how toe-piece
on shoe makes big dent on one end?"
Lande stopped and squinted.
"Shore," he said ""Now let's see you
take us to the hombre who forked that
particular cayuse."

counseled Sheriff Lande. you're darned
near Dead Fall Arroyo"
Juanita stared straight ahead. Isl,
senor," she said. "My horse is not
afraid. You"
She rode on, her lips clamped, her
heart still, her thoughts only for Mich
ael Valdez. A word formed silently on
her lips.
Then, like plummet, she was out of
sight.
Determined men who are dead set
on destination and task, head for it
with one-track minds. So it was with
Clark Weber, Michael Valdez and Pete
Haskell's men. Each knew where he
was going, knew what he was about to
do-and all were treading the danger
trail.

see 1t now! Bring them in; drive them
out or kill them. Buy. Sell. Always
at profit. And" !
He glanced at a dozen pages before
becoming convinced that the Ransom
place-the one he and the Maxons had
bought-was the only one now with a
red crayon question mark beneath the
last entry.
He slumped into chair at the desk,
picking up books and papers, scanning
them hurriedly, throwing them aside,
until he felt like a dog with so much
food in sight that it didn't know which
to eat first.
He got up wet with perspiration,
books and papers clutched under his
arm, all atremble at fate's broad smile,
his eyes glittering.

Valdez Escapes
His Followers

A rancher behind the bank whirled
about to face the stalls in the barn. To
the other he whispered:
"Hear somebody back there?"

four shots at a streaking rider who

legs proclaimed it at least part horse,

aglitter, disappeared behind another
building as suddenly as it had come
from behind the bank stable.
A cry went up in the street. From
the north two ranchers rode swiftly,
guns ready, headed for the bank. In an
alley three buildings away from Bar
ties bank, Michael Valdez touched his
blue roam gently with his heels.
North, pronto!" he muttered.
Gold Greek hummed behind him. Over
his shoulder he saw riders joining the
eddy at the bank door. Their angered
yells still echoed in his ears when the
lights that were still aglow in the town
were blotted out by distance. And no
threatening thud of hoofs sounded be-
hind him.

The liquor came, but the doctor was

He raised his hand to knock at Bar
ties outside bank door. The ham
dropped. He gaped, then blinked.
There was only one thing about tn
figure he saw through the glass dool
that stood out more than the scarle
neckerchief the man wore. That was
the wisp of smoke curling and fading
about the ceiling. 1t came from gur
in the hand covered by glittering
gauntlet.
Halfway down the stairs was the
body of man. Papers Uttered the
steps. Even now the scarlet-masked
apparition was scooping them up-and
at Haskell's elbow stood Luke Wallace,
demanding to know why the cowman
could not get in.
Then Wallace saw His hand swooped
on his gun.
"El Caballero Rojo!" he yelped.
"Wait!" Haskell commanded in an
angry whisper. "Plenty important, those
papers, or he wouldn't expose himself
like that to get them"
That's not Bartle on the stairs"
rasped Wallace. "I'm beginning to see
things! This gent in the velvet and

Wallace whirled, ran to the other
ranchers, barking orders.

1t must have been a sixth sense that
warned Michael Valdez of the closing
jaws of trap. For even as he hur-
riedly glanced at the ledger of the land
owner he heard Pete Haskell's voice.
Split seconds were precious then. And
even as Luke Wallace ripped out his
orders, Valdez went over the sill of the
window he had left open.
Clutching the edge of the porch roof,
he swung himself into space and
dropped to the ground. Bent almost |
double, looking more like great round
ball than a man running, he disap- |
peared behind the stable in the rear of
the bank.
Two ranchers came pounding out of
the street toward the rear of the bank,
as they saw the open window.
Hastily vaulting into the saddle, Valdez
turned the roam quietly, watching the
two ranchers. Guns in hand, they stood
