TIMBER SALES BILL
 PASSED BY HOUSE TUESDAY

WASHINGTON - The House On Representative Tuesday passed House Joint Resolution 2o5,, legIs laton which permits the Depart ment of Agrculture to sell timber from the Tongass National Forest in Southeastern Alaska. and the measure is now in the Senate.
 However. an almost identical bill aas acted upon fayorably by a Senate committee July and il is believed that the Senate will adopt In Q House resolution, perhaps without reference to committee.
 The bill. in addition to author izing future timber sales. validates timber sale contracts previously made by the Forest Service w.tA private lumbermen.
 The legislation. if approved by the Senate. would open the way this year for al least two huge pulp and paper concerns who have immediate plans for buildIns plants in Alaska, .one near Keteh-. ikan and one near Petersburg. The investments for each mill migdt run as high as $50.o00,0o0.
 Support Six Mills
 Secretary of the Interior Julius 4 Krug recently testified that Southeast Alaska could support six such mills on a perpetual bass. each employing 2.o00 workers, anu supporting towns of 12.000 popui aticn.
 Il is estimated that if work could be started on the mills at once, it would take three years 70 build each mill This would me9a the employment Of many in COZ struction almost al once even though the mills would not go in- to production until 1850 or 1851.
 Under contracts proposed by tae Forest Service and said to be ac- ceptable by the industry, a 50-year contract would be drawn up with the stumpage price agreed upon in the beginning standing for lO year and to be reopened for ad- justment at the end of that period and every five years thereafter. Cutting would be under Forest Service supervision to insure per petual supply II is estimated that each mill could produce 600 tons day
 The pulp operator. with the CO., operation of the Interior Depart ment. could obtain title to the land on which the mill is located and the surrounding town. The pulp operators also would be re quired to recruit labor from South east Alaska as far as practicable
 Indians Pr jCected
 Under HJR 205. money taken from the sale of timber would be placed ir a DeciaI fund to be held until tEt f. al de ermination Of Indian c.aims to much Of the i3Ia involved.
 The legislation was opposed b. a delegation of Indians iron. Southeast Alaska. three of them members of the Territorial Legis- lature; Senator Frank Peratrovich, Reps Frank Johnson and Andrew Hope and Fred Grant of Hyda burg. The Indians had demanded that 10 per cent of the funds from the timber sales be paid to them immediately because their claims have been recognized by the h. trior Department. This stand was supported by Alaskan Delegate E. L. Bartlett until efforts for such compromise failed, after which Ee threw his full support to the pres ent legislation

MURDER In THE RAIN
Continued from preceding page

night. Il gotta admit" said Cap,
that it's still all Greek, like they
say. What Was the deal?"
Niels tried his coffee, and found
it was too hot. This Gard Bullock
is a brother to Anton Bullock, the
driver of that Blue streak cab that
was right behind you when you
picked up Buck johnson. Gard killed
Buck because he was just about to
bust up very sweet little blackmail-
ing racket operated by Gard and his
brother . you'll understand, Cap,
that taxi-driver sees and hears
lot of things that the people involved
wouldn't want known. Right"
''And how, brotherw Cap nodded
ferventiy.
"Well, Anton. the cabbie, got the
dope, and Gard put on the pressure
and collected the cash. He did the
fronting; Anton stayed completely
in the background. They had some
thing on girl friend of Bucks. She
finally broke down and told Buck
about it.
From all l hear, Buck had plenty
of CUTS. This afternoon he called
Gard and told him to bring the
evidence - whatever it was - to
Bucks apartment by seven o'clock
tonight. IF you don't have it there,
punk, by seven sharp, I'll come out
after it, he told Gard.
Gard talked it over with his
brother. They knew Buck was a
cop. and tough. They cooked up
plan. Anton knew Buck didn't have
a car; that he used taxis. So Anton
was to have his cab parked in front
of Bucks apartment building from
seven on. Buck would come down,
grab Anton's cab. Just as he got in,
Gard was to come hurrying up like
any man looking for a cab on a rainy
night, and ask Anton if he was going
south - which he was.
EvERYBoDY is used to doubling
up, taxis being scarce as they are;
so Buck would think nothing of it,
and of course he'd never seen Gard,
and wouldn't recognize him. At the
right time, Gard was to stick gun
in Bucks ribs, and then Anton would
drive out to the edge of town some
where and - sooner or later some
body would have found Buck in a
ditch"
"But dumb luck busted up the
play" put in Cap. "Ain't that right?
A dame comes up to Anton's cab
just as Buck comes out, and at the
same time. happen to be cruisin'
by. and he gives me the hail"
Exactly" nodded. Niels. Then

got under the wheel and watched
them walk down the sidewalk and
then turn in at the narrow walk
which led to little white bungalow
with brick porch. Bill, standing
directly in front of the door, pushed
the doorbell button. Niels stood in
the shadows.
Suddenly the porch light snapped
on. and the door opened. Bill said
something; l could tell from the
motion of his head that he was
speaking. He waited a moment for
a reply, then spoke again sharply
and angrily, and loud enough so l
could hear him: lust a minute,
Bullock! want to-"
The door started to swing shut.
Bill thrust foot into the opening,
and jerked gun from its holster
under his left arm. Before he could
use it there was a little flash of fire
through the crack in the door, and
the sharp, echoing bark of an auto
matte.
BILL cried out and spun around,
clutching his right arm. At the same
instant. Niels threw a body block
into the door that opened it wide
- with bang.
What happened right after that,
l don't remember. l know I was
running toward the house and there
was brief, violent fight there in
the hallway. When / hit the porch.
Niels was picking up heavy auto
matte that obviously had belonged
to the limp and very ill-iooking man
on the floor. Bullock" Prentice
had called him, but it wasn't the
Anton Bullock who'd driven us to
the police station in his Blue Streak
cab.
"Nice work, Niels, said Bill Prem
tice quietly, fishing in his hip pocket
with his good left hand. He produced
a pair of thin, glittering handouts.
"Slip these on him before he wakes
up"
Niels adjusted the bracelets.
That won't be for some time" he
commented grimly. "And when he
does come around, he won't feel so
good. / introduced our friend to a
little routine l picked up." He saw
me then, and grinned, Il thought
told you to stay in the carp" he
said.
II forgot :. or something"
Bill turned around and looked at
me.
He shook his head. "Womenr' he
sighed.

you went in with the umbrella, and
Gard saw his chance. He hurried up
to your cab, opened the door. and
pumped a couple of bullets into
Buck. Then he simply went back to
Anton's cab, got in, and waited until
you drove off,"
'The dirty. lousy - excuse me,
Miss Virginia.
Il know just how you feel, Cap"
l forgave him But Niels darling,
how did you figure it all out?"
IL KEPT going back to the thing
we started WITH" Niels said. Buck
couldn't have been killed in Caps
cab after Cap drove off with him
unless Cap was lying to us, which we
agreed he wasn't. If Anton lied, he
had reason. 1t seemed bit strange
to me that man taking a cab in
a pouring rain would ask to be put
off at a corner, rather than specific
address. / thought -"
That's what guy - or a dame,
either - usually does when they've
got some kind of a deal on, and don't
want the cabbie to catch the ad-
Dress" put in Cap eagerly.
ut looked little fishy, anyway"
Niels continued. so down at the
station, l looked in the directory.
There was a Gard Bullock listed as
living within few doors of the cor
ner. guessed that Buck was headed
for Gard Bullock's house. and
wanted to know why.
"You know what happened. When
Bill said he was cop. Gard tried
to shut the door, and winged Bill
through the right arm. That was
good enough for me"
Niels finally finished his coffee,
and pushed his cup toward Cap.
The service here is terrible, pal."
he said. "How's about your going
to the counter and getting refills all
around?"
"Surer said Cap, grinning as he
slid out of the booth. ut may take
some little time, though. Okay?"
"You're smart guy, Cap" said
Niels.
UNDER the table. Niels gathered
up both my hands.
He then leaned very close, almost
whispering in my ear. Love me?"
he asked.
Gould be-"
Marry me? Soon. mean? Very,
very soon, darling?"
"Yes, Niels," / said. '.Soon. Very
soon. Any time you say:
l don't know why do things like
that. Niels had asked me to marry
him a dozen times under really
romantic conditions, and / had to
wait until time like that - place
like that - to say yes. The End
