~resenting the Wild Life League,
is endeavoring to have the
coon hunting season changed
due to the requests Of pleas
ant hunters.
The fur of the raccoon is
long, soft and thick, and the
pelt has considerable CONNER
cial value, Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived from SIS to 81 a pelt
until last year when the price
dropped to as low as one doll
la.
His last seasons haul of so
pelts are consequently in stor-
age to await a higher market.
Mr.. Cleveland believes the mar
ket value of coon pelts will
again raise following the al
most complete obliteration Of
the coyote by government hum
tiers and pelt collectors.

who these people were nor
cared. He did know, however,
they were guests in the COM
munity, and he saw to it they
left feeling kindly about Mon
tana people.
Gasoline attendants, store
clerks, taxi drivers+all of
whom I have met on this trip
have duly impressed me with
their genuine sincerity to
please.
Montana has two words
which express their sentiments
on the whole situation. I saw
them on a billboard this morn
ing as we drove along the
splendid Montana highway.
They were:
welcome Stranger"
And I know now these Mon
tana people mean exactly what
they say.

cent reports there are a num-
Der along the Big Horn river.
The animals have been mi
grating overland from one wa
ter course to another, as they
have been sighted on dry
land farms west of Hardin.
Mr.. Cleveland bagged more
than so of the raccoonS last
winter and spring, his largest
take being on the night of
April II, when IL of them,
weighing from 90 to 35 pounds
were freed and killed. He has
had in his possession 'coonS
weighing more than so pounds,
and many Weighing more than
40 pounds.
The dog he uses for freeing
the fur-bearerS is a trained
coon dog from Arkansas. Alva
Walker of Worden also has
trained coon dogs and is of
ten a partner in the coon
hunt when the season is open.
The season for hunting rae
coon was inaugurated three
years ago and was set by an
act Of the legislature. The sea-
son runs from November Is
to December 81, and from
March / to April Is.

Bills a typical westerner; cor
dial, frank, and eager to please.
While it is natural you'd ex-
pect him to extend himself for
a group of visiting writer's I
can distinguishing known him
for many yearslthat it matters
not who you are when you
are a guest in his state. He'd
go out of his way 200 miles to
make sure any guest of Mon
tana was having a good time.
Bill, on the other hand, is
no exception. And I have a
case in point. In fact, several.
Without Fanfare
Courtesy Ii Byword
One member of our party
missed one of her suitcases. It
was finally located back in a
hotel 80 miles away. Without
any fanfare, two Montana gem
tlemen offered to drive the
distance-this was at l a. NJ
to pick up the suitcase and
have it back at the hotel in
time for our departure in the
morning. That meant 100 miles
of driving. Upon their return
they said the Journey had paid
dividends for they found an
out-of-state car in distress on
the highway. Its occupants we're
a small baby, the mother and
father. Our Montana friends
pushed them into the nearest
town, got them a hotel room,
and left instructions with the
night clerk to call the garage.
Courtesy is the byword of the
police that patrol the high
ways here in Montana. If you
happen to be driving over the
speed limit you are not Jared
out of your seat by a scream
ing siren. The police car pas
seS you and the officer makes
a friendly gesture for you to
stop. He walks back to your
car with a big, big smile, lays
a hand on your shoulder, and
sort of opens the conversation
with the remark: "Glad to
have you visit our state. We
want you all to have a good
time. Just take it easy on these
highways. Now be on your way
and enjoy yourselves"
I mentioned to Bill several
times about the friendliness of
these Montana people. I told
him 1 couldn't get over how
quickly a stranger is accepted
out here.
He ehuckled and then re-
lated another incident of Mon
tana hospitality-a hospitality
which very obviously is the
first nature of these peope.

Some tourists from Obi
pulled into a small Montana
town last summer and found
they needed 100 pounds of ice

where they could get it, and
he pleasantly pointed out the
way. When the Ohio driver
started to turn his car and
trailer around the man stepped
over to the car and said:

Veterans To Receive
Insurance Dividend

Payment of a $4,000 900 spe-
cial National Service Life Insur-
ance dividend on approximately
20,000,000 policies has been an
nounced by the Veterans Admins
tration. About 100000 veterans
who took out insurance during
World War II will be eligible to
receive the dividend.
The VA stated that it hoped
distribution of the checks could
be started by. January, 1850, and
be substantially completed during
the first half of 1850. Amounts in
dividual veterans will receive are
not yet known, as individual cal
culationS have not been completed.
Generally, every veteran who
took out NSLI and kept it in force
for three months or more will be
eligible for the dividend. In cases
where policyholderS have died, the
beneficiary of the policy. if the
policy was in force, or to those
shown to be entitled in case the
insurance lapsed, will receive the
payment. -:-.
The VA strongly emphasized
that veterans should not write
about their dividend, because let
tiers will only cause the payment
to be delayed. Special application
blanks are being prepared and it is
expected that they will be avail
able sometime in August in every
postoffice, veterans service organ
iZations and VA offices.

Council Upholds Police
Chief In Stormy Session

In three to two vote, with
Councilman Kennedy refusing to
vote, the City Council upheld
Police Chief Leonard J. Clark in
his right to hire department per-
sonnet.
What started out to be an econ
omy move on the part of the coun-
ell blossomed out into the hottest
controversy of the year with about
twenty citizens taking sides in the
argument over the dismissal of
George Turnbull from the force.
No Petition
DR.. Joseph Shelton, who started
out as spokesman for the group.
said that petition had been
signed by number of people,
but the group outnumbered the
signers, SO the petition was not
presented. Although some bitter
accusations We're made, most of
the group who spoke made the
point that they We're well salts
fled with the record of the present
police department.
Mayor Lanier told the group
that the move to cut the depart
nlent down to two men had re-
suited from an attempt to lower
the budget. He pointed to the
figures on the blackboard on the
council room wall, showing that
the city is obligated for the
amount of $4,000 on the school
budget alone.
Low Budget
With an $4,000 budget, he ex-
planned, only $4,000 remained to
take care of all other city ex-
penseS, including salaries.
Several of the citizens who made
speeches asked that the depart
ment be held at three men, or
even increased, if that would mean
keeping the present high standard
of police protection.
In stating his side of the story,
Chief Clark said that the action
Of the council had been a surprise
to him. AT the meeting before the
one in which the council ordered
reduction of the force, Clark had
been present and had left with the
understanding that no changes
would be made.
At the succeeding meeting, at
which he was not present, the
council had ordered reduction. At
that time the council expressly
stated that the chief had the right
to choose the men with whom he
has to work, subject to the ap-
prevail of the mayor.
Some of the citizens asked
whether the council would consider
a petition to put Turnbull back on
the force if it were signed by fifty
per cent of the voters.
At one point Mayor Lanier told
them they may as well get out a
petition for the recall of the mayor
at the same time, but finally it was
agreed that the council would con-
slider a petition signed by ma
jority of the voters.

Arr. General Clarifies
transportation
Return Law

Attorney General, J. Gerald Will
liams, at the request of the Com
missioner of Labor has given an
opinion as to the meaning of Sec
ton ! of the Return Transportation
Law, enacted by the recent legis-
lature, which provides that en-
ployers who finance transportation
for employees within and without
Alaska, upon termination of en-
ployment must finance return
transportation to the place of re-
cruitment.
In his opinion, the Attorney
General said, After careful
reading of the statute, it is my
opinion that if the employer ter
inmates the contract of employ
ment without just cause he must in
all events pay the return transpor-
tation of the employe. If the en-
ployer terminates the contract of
employment for a good and suf-
ficient cause, which in the opinion
VI lliS VI l>eRcoi -
beyond the control of the employe
then the employer is liable for the
return transportation of the en-
ploye. If, however, the employer
terminates the contract of employ
ment for a good and sufficient
cause which is within the control
of the employee, then and in that
event, the employer should not be
liable for the return transportation,
Under the wording Of the stat
utes, it is discretionary with your
office TO determine which good
and sufficient reasons for termina-
ton Of the contract Of employment
are within the control of the en-
ploye l would not attempt to die
tate your policy to you, but in my
opinion the following reasons for
termination of employment con-
tracts would seem to clearly be
within the control Of the employee:
Continued and unexcused alb
senteeism, failure to perform du-
ties assigned, assuming that such
duties are within the normal scope
of the contract of employment,
inability to perform duties which
the employee contracted to perform,
intoxication. INSTRUMENTATION, etc
! In commenting upon the Attor-
ney Generals opinion. Commits
sioner of Labor, Henry A. Benson,
said employers and workers who
are affected by the provisions OF
this law, may rely upon the excel
lent opinion given by the Attorney
General since the Territorial De-
partment of Labor will be guided
by this opinion in the administra-
ton and enforcement of this law,
| which by its provisions can do
much to remove stranded employees
from the Territory and thus ease
the unemployment burden which
will face the Territory this coming
winter"

Marathon Thrills Crowd
Despite Slow Time

For the third straight year Ralph
Hatch won the annual Fourth of
July Marathon race by wide mar
gin in the sloWest time recorded in
several years.
Crowds swept into town by spe-
cial train, highway, boat and by air
to witness what has become one
of the worlds most spectacular
races.
Since the course is visible from
almost any part Of the city, it was
difficult to determine the size of
the crowd, but upwards of seven
hundred were estimated to have
watched Deputy Marshalls Metcalf
and Gilliland get contestants set
for the starting gun. About 1000
people crowded the streets at the
finish line.
While the brilliantly clear sun
shine made ideal weather for the
spectators, the weather was hard
on the nine contestants, number
of whom did not go the total dis
lance
Hatchs purse amounted to $500
and second prize Of 5000 went to
Oscar (Moose) SteinWall. Bob Jen-
sen, a member of the government
survey crew on the peninsula, took
$500 third place money.
For the first thousand feet or so
only fleeing glimpses of the rum
ners could be caught as they
scrambled up the trail through the
brush. Then they broke out above
the timberline on the 1922 foot
mountain. Steinwall gave Hatch
race all the way up. From the
town they looked like tiny insects
scampering up the rock faces and
over the unstable rock slides.
Other runners on the way up
We're forgotten when Hatch and
Steinwall began their headlong
descent, raising dust like the tail
of comet as they plunged down.
ward over rocks and dangerous
slides.
Hatch soon pulled away to d
long lead but the crowd got
thrill when Steinwall pulled off
the trail, taking off like rocket
trailing dust in vain effort to re-
gain lost distance. Hatch's time for
the distance was one hour, six
minutes and fifty-tWo seconds -
about nine minutes more than his
time last year and about fifteen
minutes more than the record
time established many years ago.
Two news reel photographers
were in Seward taking shots of
the Marathon Race from start to
finish, using telescope lenses for
the distance shots. They had not
come here for that purpose and
were amazed to find that the Mar
athon was such a spectacular
event.

LONDON, April "A United

John A. Wolfard, 3S-year-old for
