Jury Acquits In ''Mercy" Staying

READING, Pa. (P) - Thank you-oh, thank you very much, '" a wan-faced middle aged spinster sobbed to a jury of seven men and five women in acqutting her of murder in the mercy" staying of her invalid, 71-year-old mother.
 Friends and neighbors who had stood with Ella M. Haug in the courtroom as she waited through the two and half hours the jury deliberated last night, rushed to congratulate the weeping woman, and several invited her to their homes to rest.
 The state charged that Miss Haug gave her mother, Mrs. Katie Latshaw, an incurable invalid. 12 barbiturate tablets last July 20, and then took IS herself in an un- successful suicide attempt.
 A signed statement in which Miss Haug admitted administering the tablets to her mother "to end her suffering" was introduced in evidence.
 The defense contended the bar biturate tablets did not cause the mothers death.

Alaska Becomes Tourist Mecca

SEATTLE, (P) - The tourist trade is an appreciable item these days in the storied Yukon, about which Robert w. Service wrote many of his virile ballads, said T. C. Richards in Seattle yesterday.
 Richards is building an $8O,O0O addition to his Whitehorse Inn, main hotel in that Yukon Terri tory town, in anticipation of the growing numbers of tourists wis iting the scenes where Services lusty characters lived their rugged and adventurous lives. Richards expansion consists of three-story addition containing 50 rooms, a dining room and a banquet hall, capable of seating 400 persons each. The tourists will have it con- siderably less rugged than did the heroes of Services strenuous Stan- gas.
 Placer mining is. becoming in creasingly important since open ing of the Alcan highway, over which machinery can be shipped, Richards said. He flew here Sat urday night by Pan American clipper, with Mrs. Richards, to at tend the Kiwanis conference to be held this week.

New Company Lowers Freight Rates To Alaska

Continued from Page One) are being established with the Alaska railroad for through serv- ice to Interior Alaska points, ito give residents of those areas the benefit of the new low Puget Sound-AlaSka freight tariffs"
 It said lease has been made with the railroad for the site of a dock to include barge and ship fa- cilities. at Whittier, Alaska.
 "Construction has begun the statement added, land when these facilities are completed, cargo for Anchorage, Fairbanks and other interior points will move through Whittier with additional savings.
 "Interior-bond freight now moves through Seward from which rail-haul rates are sub- stantially higher than those on the shorter Whittier route. Cost of the Whittier installations may exceed $1,500,O00 and they will be con- structed in stages with barge-un- loading facilities to be completed first. These will include provision for unloading barges under cover"
 'aThe lowest possible freight rates for Alaska are the goal of Alaska Freight Express corpora tion," De Long said. "The com pany has great confidence in the future of Alaska and feels that low freight rates are essential for its development"
 AS typical savings" the new company listed rates on automo- piles and canned goods. It said present freight rates on automo- piles, Seattle to Anchorage, are $142 a ton, while the new com pany's rate will be $92 ton. Pres ent freight rates on canned goods, it said, are $52 a ton for the same distance, compared with the tug barge rate of $43 a ton.
 De Long said barge operations on large scale have proved suc- .cessful.
 During the past year." he said. "over 600 pieces of railroad roll ing stock including cars and loco motives have been moved by tug and barge from Seattle to Whittier for the Alaska Railroad. We are convinced that a barge operation to Alaska is not only feasible but it the answer to Alaska's cry for economical freight transportation

Grass Cutting To Use
All Available Workers

There seems to be considerable
activity In farm labor, more men
are drifting in than we can use
at present. Asparagus cutting
should start about the tenth. AT
that time we could probably use
all the help available. The main
problem now is housing. The
farmers who have housing avail
able ARE having no difficulty in
obtaining workers. Construction
of the farm labor camp should
start this week. Two representa-
tives of the Dept. of Agriculture
were In town on the first to make
the necessary arrangements. There
should be no difficulty in furnish
ing labor If housing can be ar
ranged for.
Processing plants will probably
start operations about the tenth
and there are more applications
for this class Of labor than can be
used. We have no applications
for cat SINNERS or wheat farm
workers at present.
c. E. Ridley, the supervisor Of
farm labor, went to Prosser on
the first to arrange for a farm
labor office there. Mrs. Pearl
Burnham who was in charge Of
this office last year will continue
to operate this year.
