The Sheriff
Leads a Chase

For the briefest instant Carriers CUR
hand wavered, and in that time, witt
the speed of light, two guns Ieaped into
Valdez hands. They were leveled on
the man who had earned his tough
reputation, and his nickname, through
the years he had taken wagon trains
across the country, killing and rustling
as he went.
Carter pulled his trigger-but the
shot furrowed into the floor inches
from Valdez foot. For Valdez own
lead had been aimed true. Incredibly
it beat double drive through Carriers
head, and through the killers chest. As
Garter slumped to the floor he tried to
fire again at the mist-clouded figure of
Michael Valdez. But his gun fell from
his hand, Gathering on the floor.
With the speed and agility of
leopard, Valdez was across the inter
vening distance that separated him
from the gunman. He dropped to his
knees and lifted Carter's head There
was still some life Pickering, family,
in the mans body.
Train Carter looked up into Valdez
eyes as the dark-haired man with the
Spanish features bent to whisper into
his ear. 1t was whisper that was
only a blurred movement of lips to
those who tried to hear. But Carter
heard.
when you meet Conroy and Gar
vim, tell them that Ell Caballero Rojo
sent you to them-and that the "big
boss" will be there soon"
Blood fecked Carriers mouth and
trickled down his chin. He collapsed.
without speaking, like a rag doll. Val
dez laid the dead gunman prone on the
floor and got up slowly, cautiously.
IN m Der three" he mumbIed
tightly.
A giant of a man was striding
through the batwing doors, gun in
hand. Behind him were two others
who famed out on either side, their
eyes grim and smoking with outraged
indignation. All three wore stars on
the left of their vests.

Alaska Must Inaugurate Conservation Program

If Alaska is to maintain it's lead as a world-famous fishing and hunting ground, it must being a conservative program, J. Ham mond Brown, president of the Outdoor Writers association of America said in Seattle last Sun day.
 Big game and salmon runs in Alaska show signs of decreasing, because sportsmen are taking more than the crop will sustain ' Brown said, following a two-week outing in the Territory, with lead ing sports writers of the East Coast
 We believe Alaska must start a conservation program, before it will have to start restoring, as We did in the States" Brown declar- ed. Tt costs ten times as much and takes ten times as long to restore as to conserve"
 Laws and WardenS are not enough for a conservative pro- gram, Brown declared. He advo- cated that sports-minded citizens of each community take the lead in wildiife preservation, as an ex- ample to others.
 "Sportsmen are accustomed to thinking of the Last Frontier as a land of plenty. Fishermen who catch more than they can use, rarely think of throwing the un-

U. s. WEDDINGS REACH RECORD

The end of the war and the re- turn of the CTS from abroad brought on a mass stampede to the altar which resulted in an all-time peak in the marriage rate of the U. s. in l946.
 The rate last year, which rose to l6.4 per 1000 population, was also the highest for any country in the world, according to a survey by the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Go. In addition, that rate has only once been exceeded as far as any records reVeal-by Hungary, 2O.4 per 1000, just after World War I. The previous high in this country was in l942.
 Our country was not the only one to have an increase in its mar ital rate. The trend was work wide. In the Netherlands, France and New Zealand the number O. newlywedS rose spectacular,y. Tn other nations, especially in those that had large numbers of slave laborers returning home, the n.- creases were notable. Only Greet Britain of the Is countries sur veyed showed a decrease, and that only slight.

Conservative Elected
Governor Of Tokyo
By III. Associated Press

TOKYO, April IA strong vote
of confidence for Gen. Macarthur
and a distinct reprimand to left
wing labor leaders appeared evident
today in the UNEXPECTEDLY convinc-
ing conservative victory for the gov
ernorship of Tokyo prefecture.
Still incomplete returns from Sat-
urday's election gave the Conserva-
tive incumbent margin of more
than 5000 votes over his Socialist
rival in what had been expected to
be a tight race. In 1946, left and
right were separated by only 5000
votes.
In effect, the japanese voters ap-
.peared to be indorsing Gen. Mac
Arthur's action in halting the pro-
posed general strike which leftwing
labor groups had scheduled for Feb
ruary-partly as a test OF strength
with the Allied commander himself.
Throughout Japan, voters snub-
bed the Communists, encouraged
the Socialists and obediently sup
ported strong local conservative po-
litical machines.
The Socialists picked up 2,000, 900
new votes to register "a per cent Of
ballots cast in the race for 46 gov
ernorships.
Two conservative government par
ties-the Liberals and Democrats
elected five governors between them
on less than half Of the Socialists
total vote. The majority of the n
so-called independents who won
governorships are inclined toward
the conservative cause.
Communists failed to elect any Of
their nine candidates for governor.
unofficial figures placed the total
vote at 26,625 ,005, Of some $4,000, 900
registered.
