cred on the beach as Randall's
outrigger made ready to leave.
Melanie came toward him, a brim-
ming cocoanut husk cupped in her
hands. The sun drew sparks from
the tears on her golden cheeks.
"Just the thing. Melanie. A fare
well drink" Randall said. Then,
in a studied casual way, ''You
brought the pearl?"
The island girl nodded and
watched him lift the husk to his
lips. "A toast" Randall cried jovi-
ally. ITO you, Melanie, and to
me. And to Moy - the heathen
healer who can see with his ears"
He laughed, a great mirthful bel
low that skittered across the cobalt
lagoon. Then, he drank - deep.
s'IAsrEs queer" he muttered.
He saw Melanie's smile, and a core
ofsuspicion formedand grew. "The
- the pearl ="
1T is yours forever" the girl
murmured, "just as you will be
mine" Her eyes glinted in kind
of triumph. "If tiny seed pearls
ground to dust make powerful
medicine, would not a large shiny
one, however worthless?"
Beau Randall knew then. Inone
flashing moment the truth came to
him. He could almost hear that
fluty voice, mo doubt such large
pearl would make a strong love
potion, child. -" All of Ran
dall's appetites - his craving for
strong drink, his desire for women,
his hunger for wealth - all these
had been skillfully blended to
betray him. Ground into powder,
the priceless pearl had been sifted
by Moy into the drink Randall
had quaffed so Justify - the love
potion! His bitter curse startled
the seabirds to fight. >.

that somehow he had betrayed
himself. Blind men have sharp
ears, and the old man must have
caught the suppressed excitement
in his voice. Twenty quid," he
said desperately. Fifty -"
"The pearl is not for you, Mr..
Randall" There was finality laced
with scorn in Moy's voice.
The trader rose. But the game
wasn't over. Not yet. He still had
a card coming. What was that
name Moy had mentioned?
Melanie! A simple island girl.
Randall's lips held a thin smile as
he turned abruptly and left.
Melanie wasn't ugly. Looking
down upon her golden loveliness
set off by shining midnight hair
and dark guileless eyes, Beau RAN
dali INDUCED himself a smile of
satisfaction. Moy was clever; the
old man could practically see with
his ears. But Confucius himself
would be outclassed in this sort of
game. Randall had only to get his
hands on Melanie's pearl and then
vanish.
oTALKING the island girl with his
robust charm, Randall made rapid
progress. They swan in the lagoon
together, speared fish and walked
in the moonlight. But mostly they
lay side by side on the upper beach,
shadedbythe fringingpalms, where
Randall drank his gin and cocoanut
milk which he'd taught Melanie to
mix for him. He marveled at his
own expert blending of business
and pleasure - a. fine prelude for
the giittering life ahead. :.
1t was Melanie who first men,

bare knees she peered pensively
seaward. "You tell me that you
love me" she said slowly, "yet /

Startled, he glanced at her, in
wardly cursing the blind Chinese.
Then he laughed and drew her
close. 'I'll admit that I came for

She sighed and was silent for a
moment. Then: ''But the pearl is

"Old Moy is blind"
''Moy is wise. Very wise -"
''OF COURSE he's wise" Randall
fought to keep the scorn out of his
voice. Give him few ginseng

MIR. STINES ON THE AMENDED
STATEHOOD BILL

Probably mining man in Alaska is better equipped from the standpoint of practical experience to express an opinion on H.R. 331 as amended and as it affects the mining industry in the Territory than is Norman Stlnes.
 It was MT. Stines whose examinations of gold placer deposits in Nome in 1920 and later in Fair banks brought into operation by 1929 the large scale placer operations in those areas-mines that have contributed much to the economy and development of the Territory.
 To bring the Nome project into operation required an expenditure of $45OO00O and the Fairbanks project required Il million dollars and five years of time. During their most productive year Q94I these two operations produced about 70 per cent of all placer gold that came out of Alaska.
 MT. Stines' letter to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs protesting Yes vote on the amended Statehood Bill objects especially to Section 5(b) of the which provides for granting the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-06-08

state of public lands not to exceed 20000 900 which are vacant, unappropriated and un- reserved This Section 5Cb), his protest continues, provides that these lands shall be granted to the state after five years from it's admission and after the Secretary of the Interior shall have surveyed the exterior boundaries of the desired and shall have issued a patent therefor to the new state.
 "Section 5Cb) then goes to state, such lands may be granted or sold by the tracts of not reservation to the of royalty of not less than - per centum of all minerals produced therefrom', :, says MT. Stines
 He then says in pretty plain language This pro- vision of the amended bill will work havoc in the mining development of the Territory"
 Explaining the importance of mining in the economy of Alaska MT .Stnesc ontinues:
 Tn the past the mining industry has contributed almost 50 per cent of the terrtorys revenue but due to economic conditions mining now is in great diff faculties The production of gold in 194l amounted to approximately 28 million dollars and this production in l949 had fallen something less than eight million dollars However, the future of Alaska depends in a large measure on the revival of mining and the de- veopment of minerals in addition to gold. There are indications of a great variety of minerals in the terri tory. Whether these be obtained and developed in commercial quantities to contribute to the wealth of the Territory ana Ine new Sate, one IS created, depends upon prospecting, exploration and the application of large amounts of private capital
 '"The provisions of Section 5(b) of the amended statehood bill are to my mind wholly inadequate to protect such mining remains in Alaska or even to permit future exploration and development"
 To emphasize further, his protest MT. Stines says that the inclusion of this provision in Statehood Bill will spell the death knel' of even Alaska's present meager gold production
 At present, after many years spent in Alaska, MT. Stines is developing gold placer operation in British Columbia. This he explains:
 Under economic conditions existing at the present time it is impossible to procure venture capital for any development in Alaska Conditions in British Columbia are quite different and that province which encourages mining development in every way, is now receiving flow of venture capital which should go into Alaska However, the enactment of Section 5(b) of the amended Statehood Bill will, in my judgment, completely throttle all mining development in Alaska and contribute further to the elimination of such mining activities as remain in the Territory at the present time"

BoyIe.s Reaction

T just don't know" replied Boyle sadly The action of admins tration senators for the Easing Point bill surprises me"
 The Democrats are the best ball carriers the Republicans could hope for on this deal,' observed Burger caustically.
 The small business representative also reminded Boyle that South Carolina's Burnet Maybank, chair man of the "so-called small busi- ness committee" voted for Easing Point side by side with COP chiefs Robert Taft and Ken Wherry.
 The delegation pointed out that the Easing Point bill would raise the cost of living, that big steel and cement interests would profit from the formula at the expense of other economic segments, and that MT. Trumans action on the bill was as much a test as the Kerr Gas bill.
 At the end of the session, Chair man Boy1e'' said This has been an education for me, and I'm coi- vinced you're right. I'll do my best to persuade the President to veto the bill"

NEW HARB0RMA5TER MAKES CHANGES AT
 SMALL BOAT BASIN

A number of changes have beer made at the small boat harbol since L. J. Geiger took over as harbormaster last month.
 He went to work when the new 64O-foot gridiron was under con- struction and the ends of tni piling used in it's construction vert clogging up the mooring space or the shore side of the main float It was here that small pleasure craft moored in the past.
 They are parking there again now that Geiger has lowed tht piling ends under the harbor ap. proach.
 Formerly there was no loading zone at the harbor. Geiger ha cleared the space along the mair float between No. l and No. floats to make room for the yes sels coming in to take on supple: and mail.
 "The harbor needed a commer' cial space," Geiger said today NOW it has one"
 In the past, boatowners' car have pasKed on the harbor ap' proach wharf, making it impossiT' at times for trucks bringing cargo to the harbor to get to the unload ng zone on the wharf.
 That, too, has been changed Got that done without a pinch, Geiger said. Just wrote note and put them on the windshielus People would rather cooperate thar pay fines"

Trygve Lie and Truman

Here is the inside story of what appened when U. N. Secretary General Trygve Lie met with Pres ident Truman and Secretary Ache son following Lies return from Moscow.
 Lie first reported on the strong desire for peace which he found everywhere from Moscow to Wash ington; then asked the President to consider sending Acheson to a special meeting of the United Ma tions Security Counsel in Geneva this summer, a meeting which he said was imperative to keep the United Nations from collapsing.
 MT. Truman's reaction was im- mediate. He promptly said ile could do no such thing; that it would be cruel hoax to play on the American people when there is absolutely no chance of agree ment with Russia.
 The only thing Russia under stands, the President argued, is force, and the West is going to build up it's own force until Rus sia realizes the Democrats mean business. After that. perhaps a meeting with Russia might produce some good
 As 1t is. now, Truman told the U. N. Secretary General, Russia is boycotting the United Nations be- cause it won't seat Communist China-just like a little boy who says he won't play in the game unless he can be captain of the team. In contrast, Truman said, the United States had attended every meeting, never used it's veto and is working night and day for peace.
