until all value had been extrauted from the ground. At the end of that time, Tolbert went into dredg- ing exclusively for himself on his ground on Iron Creek, 50 miles north into the Kougarok. Building dredge in 1889 he has since op- erated it except for mining closure during the war years.
 When in l94d it looked as though the tide might turn from a Repub- lican administration, the very small Democratic Club of Nome pre- vailed upon Tolbert Scott to run for a seat in the House. They were little previous, however for all though he boiled a high vote in his own community, outlying precincts defeated him.
 After a lapse of several years. he again oampaigned and was elected to the Houss-the only Democratic Representative to sit in the 1883 Session He was subsequently, re- elected in 1885, 1927 and l943, and was elected to the Territorial Sem ate for the l945-47 Sessions, also serving in the Special Session of l946.
 A very quiet man, Senator Scott draws little attention to himself. However, a glimpse at his voting record will show that this Legisla- tor has teen outstanding, and one whom the Second Division can hold in high esteem.

PANCAKE FLIppERS TO STRUT STUFF AT
 AFFAIR TOMORROW

An Empire reporter was drawn to enc of the local coffee emporiums this morning by a rather boisterous argument between w. Burr John son and Burke Riley. It seems that the matter under discussion was which one of them could make the most turns in the air as they Tipped their flapjacks.
 As everyone knows, Burr and Burke are the professional flippers employed hy St. Margaret's Guild for their annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper to be held tomor- row evening from 5:30 until ' o'clock in the Holy Trinity Parish Hall at Fourth and Gold.
 Burr claims that his make four turns in the air before returning right side up to the griddle, while Burke countered with the claim that he was a bit too tall to make that many Hips. but that he had professional wiggle to all of his flapjacks. The friendly discus sion closed with a small wager, and Henrietta Power, Pancake Mixer Extraordinary, is to be the judge.
 But both Burr and Burke were emphatic to the reporter that they would flip until all are filled-in other words the "sky's the limit" or hetter-"you can leave when your stomach is satisfied There is no extra charge for the additional stacks of wheats cause the price is 65 cents for old and young.

 Tolbert P. Scott was born in Burke County, North Carolina, on May 6, 1880. As the State was controlled largely by landowners who demanded one-third of corn and wheat crops from lessees, the farming people worked hard to se- cure a livlihood and raise their families. Due to the seasonal work the co-called free schools" stayed open only about four months of each year. It was in these insti- tutions that Tolbert managed to eke out an elementary education.
 As a result of low wages paid in the State. Scott at the age of 2l, moved cut to Seattle via St. Louis. While enroute west on the train two men awakened his interest in Alaska by telling him of their pending mining trip into tke Cop per River country A longing to see this northern frontier develop ed steadily for the next four years as ke worked around the various timber camps of Washington, and finally the day came when he found himself sailing out of Puget Sound. He arrived in Nome on the 9th of June, 1906.
 On Nome Ditch Work
 Hired by the Pioneer Mining Company, his first job was to con- struct a ditch near the Nome River which, by the way, is still in operation. That Fall he went to Solomon where he spend the next few months mining under ground, taking out a dump" In the spring of 1907 he accepted a dredging job with the Three Friends Mining Company which lasted two decades. Then, having a thorough knowledge of dredging problems and operation, he, together with two partners, took this dredge over operating it for three seasons on a royalty tasis. At the end of that time the Lomen Company, owners, disassembled the dredge and re- built it on Osborne Creek, hiring Talbot as winchman for two more seasons.
 The only break in long years Of mining came when MT. Scott made a brief trip back to North Carolina in 1913. He had met and frequent ly corresponded with Miss Valley Wilson. teacher, and he proved so persuasive on his visit that she married him on April 2, 1914, and the newlyweds headed back to the Seward Peninsula almost immed- lately

On the complaint of Mrs. Henry Yrjana, John Haran plead guilty to a charge of adultery before U. S Commissioner Ernest Dennis Mon- day morning.
 When court convened at 10 a. m Russ Clithero, acting as attorney of Haran, asked that court be re- cessed for an hour so that com plainant could be brought to court to prove her charges,
 When court reconvened, Clithero stated that according to Territorial law a man must be proven to have been married at the time of the of- fense, that defendant admitted to have been married at one time, but has Eeen unable to contact his wife for many years or to learn if she is still alive; and that defen- dant plant to leave for the states soon for the express purpose of clarifying his marital status.
 AS evidence Mrs. Yrjana offered several letters and when one was challenged as not having been signed by a licensed physician as claimed, she tartly retorted that if the doctor was allowed to practice without license, defendant should not be allowed to live with wo- man unwed.
 After a great deal of argument irrelevant and immaterial to the case, MT. Clithcro stated for his client that the considered the charges not proven by evidence; that he would take legal action to stop further prosecution; and re- iterated his intention of going south to straighten the situation.
 MT. Haran then pied guilty and received a suspended 90-day sen tence.

The Lieutenunts Stayed There

1t is reaSSuring to know that America
has such clear headed and courageous
young men as First Lieutenants William
Van Dyke Ochs, jr., and Lyle E. Lenhart
sitting on the powder keg at Trieste. These
young officers of our occupational Army
kept their wits alert-and their guns
cocked-in frustrating brazen attempt
by considerable force of Tito's Yugoslavs
to seize ground properly held by the Ameri-
can officers and handful of men.
The situation amounted to more than
crisis in the military lives of Lieutenants
Ochs and Lenhart. It was crisis also in
the determined efforts of the British and
American forces to preserve law and order
in the tense Trieste area-to avoid any in
cident that might touch off major .ex-
plosion. The leaders of the little American
detachment were in most delicate posi-
ton. If they showed the least sign Of
weakness In the face of the threatening
Yugoslavs, their opponents were almost
sure to take the fullest advantage of 1t.
If, on the other hand, they made any
unnecessary warlike move, they might
be furnishing an excuse for coup d'etat

A Good Neiqhbor Is Honored

edged with satisfaction by a numerous

Isl an exceedingly able man. Still young,
abundantly experienced, back of his latest
honors there lies lengthy record of work
well done.
It was Dr. Aranhas realistic labors that
made the good-neighbor policy a prag-
matte utility and not merely a pious
aspiration, so far as the bonds between
the United States and Brazil are con-
cerned. His country moved definitely
nearer our own in the dark days of the
Second World War largely because of his
constructive intervention. Both as Am

Rio de Janeiro, he has been substantial

turbulent area.
The lieutenants undoubtedly were keenly
aware of these possibilities as they firmly
stood their ground until reinforcements
arrived. II am going to stay right here"
Lieutenant Ochs repeatedly informed the
Yugoslav commander. And stay the
Americans did, as the opposing troops
withdrew. Lieutenants Ochs and Lenhart,
and their men,, well deserved the COM

ogists talked much of social pressure"
as the productive element in history. It
was fad to make light of individual
qualities But the present tendency of
discussion is back to better understand
ing of people as separate and distinct
entities. DR., Aranha is a fine example
of the type of leader who creates institu-
tions for the. service of human needs, does
such building in his own particular manner
and yet withal is completely dedicated to
unselfish purposes. He has helped tre-
mendously to give impressive meaning to
PAN nAmericanism. Now he is called to
apply the same talents, the same objective
genius, to the issues and problems of the
whole world. This is something to be

Frustrated Hurricane

Although man did not succeed in tanning
the hurricane which swept across Florida
yesterday-as he hopes some day to tame
future ones-he did manage to Illustrate
1t to large extent. For had the residents
OF the West Palm Beach-Miami area
lacked the excellent advance warning
service provided by the Weather Bureau
the big storm-worst in nearly two decades
undoubtedly would have taken a much
greater toll.
Much credit goes to the daring flyers
of the Army, Navy and Coast Guard who
"conned" the developing storm almost
from its inception in the Caribbean. BY
visual observation, by radar and by other
means the hurricane was tracked so per-
sistently and we'll that coastal residents
were able to make adequate preparations
for the worst. A great deal of damage was
done, Of course, for all property and all
crops cannot be completely protected from
the fury of such blow. But loss of life
was small-especially when compared with
the more than fifteen hundred lives lost
in the great hurricane of 1928. As result
of lessons learned from that storm-which
blew the water from Lake Okeechobee into
inhabited areas-Army engineers built
levees which stood up well under the
severe test of yesterday.
If the storm curves northward instead
of crossing the Gulf of Mexico as some of
these West Indian hurricanes choose to
do on occasion, 1t may be. that the Middle
Atlantic Coast, including the Washington
area, will be in for some tail-end winds
and rain. Meanwhile another storm
is said to be forming in the Caribbean
birthplace of hurricanes. Perhaps this
new one will become the guinea pig for q
dryice experiment designed to break up
these disturbances before they get fully
started If such tanning proves to be
practicable, the regular fall hurricane
season may become only memory.
