slower than usual as he said, I'VE

boys finish your supper"
But at the door he stopped. 1t
seemed as if ages had passed since
he entered that room, happier than
he had been in months. The men
still sat before their untouched
plates; steam was rising from the
platter in Wing Toys motionless
hands, and Janet's eyes, big with
unspoken sympathy, were on him.
He hurried down the path.
Midnight had passed when he re-
turned, but Janet was waiting for
him in the office, and from the
weary lines in his face she knew
that Wade's story had been true.
He gave a short smile at her ques-
tioning face, and threw himself in
to a chair. while she poured him
a glass of iced coffee. He drank
it at a gulp.
"Thanks." A minute passed,
then quietly he said, well, they
got us in a big way"
"But who did it, Cliff"
"Blacklanders, I suppose. Who
ever they were, they knew our
habits pretty well. They cut those
barges loose in full daylight, just
after the last shift came down to
camp and before the night guard
went on duty. Four barges smash
ed against the rocks-but that's not
so important. The thing that hits
us where it hurts is the loss of the
rubber"
'Is it really lost?'' she asked.
'It's scattered downstream for
miles. Some of it we can get back,
but it will take weeks" His eyes
moved to the calendar. "And we
have just four days" He reached
for a sheet of paper. II better

her hand on his. "Cliff does this

even sure that a month will help.
But it'll give us room to turn
around in"
"Are things as bad as that?" Her
voice was soft with commisera-
ton.
"Actually worse. Even if they
extend the time, I'm not sur I
have enough money to carry on
for another month"
He finished writing his cable
while she sat watching him, and
as he rose from his desk she said,

"Yes?"
"Cliff, if six hundred dollars
would do you any good, l have it,

no sense in your going back broke

smiled. Thanks just the same,

almost been forgotten, now reviv-

 TERMINAL BY pAA

SEATTLE, Feb. 6.-Pan Ameri- can World Airways today anncunc- ed that it had filed application the Civil Aeronautics Board to add Seattle as a co-terminal point to its present Pacific terninals of Les Angeles and San Francisco. If the Board decides that a direct air link between the Pacific Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands is re- quired in the public interest.
 The action follows the Civic Aeronautics Boards notice that hearing be held to determine whether public need exists fer the establishment of such a route. 9 In filing the application, the com pany took no position on the ques- tion of whether route from Se- |attle to Honolulu is needed in the public interest.
 All information available to Pan American" the application stated indicates that, in the light of the potential air traffic available to a carrier operating direct air service between tke Pacific Northwest and Hawaii, the service would have to be initiated on very modest fre- quency."
 In such case, the application con- tinued, the Civil Aeronautics Board might determine that is would be in the public interest to certificate Pan American to operate the route since the company is already estab- lished in bcth Honolulu and Seattle Qualification of a carrier that would have to set up bases at both ends of the route. it YVES stated, might not be in the publlc interest.
 Pan American is wih.sg to op- crate a direct air transportation service between the Pacific North west and the Hawaiian Islands, if the Board should determine that such a service would be in the pub lie interest" the application con- cluded.

OHLS0N TALKS ON SWEDEN AND ABOUT kLkSKA RAILROAD

Privileges of the Senate floor yesterday afternoon were extended to Col. Otto F. Ohlson, former Gen. eral Manager of the Alaska Rail- road, who briefly reviewed the pro- gress Of agriculture in the countries cf northern Europe, particularly Sweden. Col. Ohlson recently com pleted a four-month trip to his former homeland.
 During that visit. Col Ohlson said. he was fortunate enough to have opportunity to visit Swedya's 30 agricultural experiment stations, in company with the head of the experimental service. He was par ticularly interested in agricultural development in the northern part of Sweden where. with terrain and climatic conditions similar to those to be found in Alaska, experiment ters have learned to grow apples, 3 number of hardy vegetables and are raising grasses far superior to any in Alaska.
 To Benefit Alaska
 Col Ohlson stressed the benefit that could result to Alaska from development of harder and more nutritious grasses. He concluded by stating that Swedens experimenters had been interested in Alaskan agricultural possibilities and hat promised to furnish free of charge seeds of grasses, shrubs, etc, in mounts required for Alaskan ex- perimentation.
 He said that the U. s. Depart nent of Agriculture also had been interested in the possibilities open sd and will get behind an adequate appropriation Tor Alaskan agricul- ural experiment.
 CT. Ohlson summed up that Swe- aen's agricultural progress is a mo- lel that can be duplicated in this Territory Alaska can become self sufficient, he advised as he closed his remarks with an appeal to the Senators to do their utmost to match Federal funds that may be appropriated for agricultural ex oerimentation in Alaska.
 Coming Problem
 A sidelight remark by Col. Ohl- son was developed almost into highight of this appearance. In describing the early days of Mat anuska Valley, Col Ohlson inter spersed that Alaska, should she attain statehood, might be faced with the problem: What to do with he Alaska Railrad?
 As Col Ohlson was leaving the Senate Chamber, he was halted by Senator N R. Walker, who asked what had been meant by that re- mark.
 Ohlson replied that he can see it coming up"
 Asked by Walker if he thought he Alaska Railroad could be pro- fitable, Col Ohlson gave his opin- .on that it could, under proper management.
 Walker then asked if the Colonel meant private operations?
 Ohlson's rejoinder was. You're evidently smart man. You have your answer"
