They were married March l9, 1895, at Hingham, Mass, at the home of one of Mrs. Rogers sisters, Mrs. Matthews Huntley. They went to Salem. Mass, where they made their first home. Becoming inte- rested in reports of the west coasl they decided to go to Port Town send. Wash, but, on the way they met a couple who persuaded them to go to Victoria where they spent some months. When they heard all the glowing accounts of the Gold Rush they decided to join the en- thusiastic crowds and came north on the City of Seattle, landing in Skagway, December 18, 1897 (An interesting note, their fares from Victoria to Skagway were s5 pieceD In less than a week after they ar rived MT. Rogers purchased the lot where their home now stands, pitched a tent, and moved in. From 1899 until 1903 (when their children had to be in schooD they spent the months from early April until late october on the creeks mining in the Atlin country. When they came to Skagway to stay the year round, MT. Rogers took employment in the carpenter shop of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad where he worked until his retirement.
 In 1916 they transferred their church membership by letter to the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Rogers was one of the early memters oi the Ladies' Church Auxiliary and was always a very active and en- thusiastic member.

tions. worked out an agreement with the Turkish Government to tuild and operate a hotel for Tur- key. The hotel was to be financed with an export t-import bank loan at percent.
 Just about this time, however, and ECA expert came to Iur- key from Paris and recommended that the hotel be built not by American businessmen but by the Swiss or Belgians. (The ECA expert once operated an American Ex- press Company office in Switzer- land where he clashed with Pan American Airways). Furthermore he recommended that ECA money be advanced to the Swiss or Bel gians to build the hotel.
 Since ECA money would draw only 3 percent interest, naturally it looked a lot better to the Tur- kish government than export-lm- port bank money at 4 percent. Sc now the deal is up in the air.

bad blood between them.
 Ickes claimed that since his h.
 terior Department had control of
 the National Parks and the Pub
 lie Lands, it should also control
 the forests which are on those
 lands. But Wallace claimed that
 the Forest Service, for years un- der Agriculture, should remain there. It did.
 Now Charley Grammar, Secretary
 of Agriculture, and Oscar Chap man, new Secretary of the h. terior, face the same tug of war Both are old friends, both from the same town, and both helped each other up the ladder of gov ernment.
 Chapman helped Brannan get his first job as Assistant Secretary oi Horticulture. And later when Bran- nan beat Chapman into the Cab met, he in turn, offered to step aside if the President had any objection to two Denver men in his official family
 Not only because of this old l friendship, but because both arc broad-guaged men, Chapman anc ! Grammar aren't likely to get peevec at each other over the Forest Ser vice Nevertheless, the boys around them have already started making faces.

Friendship Train of Toys

The American Legion's friend ship train of toys to the kids oi Europe is really beginning to roll If the Veterans aren't careful they'll get so may toys that Phila- delphia's Pier 38, from which the toys are to be shipped by CARE, will be swamped.
 Not only the Legion but all sorts of people all over the country are remembering that. while food IS better in Europe, toys are scarce and that it's Europe's children oi today who are either our friends or the soldiers of tomorrow.
 In Virginia, for instance, dy- mamie Governor William Tuck has issued a proclamation urging Vir- ginians to get behind the train of toys. This program" said the Governor, "is designed to bring happiness to children, is also plant ing seeds of faith, trust, and gooc will in the fertile young minds oi Europe's children"
 The Ministerial Association oi Richmond wrote a letter to all Protestant preachers asking them to explain the toy program or Christmas Sunday, while the Cath olic Bishop of Richmond and the Rabbis of the city have done the same. Richmond's police stations and firehouses are serving as col lection depots for toys.

Backstage With bankers

Charming Johnny Hanes, one of the incest misfits to serve under the New Deal, is now on Wall Street where he fits in better as di- rector of the Bankers Trust Com pany, Pan American Airways, and other big corporations. In the con- fidential, quiet of a Bankers Trust directors meeting recently, he threatened to resign.
 In fact, John got so terribly wrought up that he demanded an apology from Ralph Damon, Presi- dent of Trans World Airlines. Da- mon had stated that Hanes had tried to exert financial pressure on VIVA, through the Bankers Trust, on behalf of Pan American Air ways, of which Hanes is also di- rector.
 Just why Hanes expected the Bankers Trust to get an apol- ogy out of TWAS Damon is hard to understand. So far he hasn't got it, and so far he hasn't resigned.
