 Suicide! It's all about us, yet midst the troubles of this age of ours, the self-destroying Cath olic is a rarity. Proof of this was most exclusively given, few years ago, before the war, in study of world suicides by Louis I. Dublin and Bessie Ben- gel, the former the celebrated statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and neither one Catholic.
 This book, entitled ITO Be or Not To Be-" showed that the rate of suicides per 100000 population was, in Protestant European countries, from IS to 27, while in Italy it was only 9.6, and in Spain mere 3.5.

Catholic Information
Let's go jump off a roof!

Ireland showed the lowest ave rage of all, and it is enlighten- ing to note that in northern Ire land the number of suicides per 100000 population was twice as great as in the south.
 The Catholic Church has more and stricter laws than any other Christian group; yet un- questionably it's people, as whole, try with all sincerity to live up to these laws at the sac rifice of comfort, riches, and so-called earthly happiness.
 It is no fun to crawl from bed early on a cold, wet Sunday morning and trudge long blocks to Mass. It is no fun to hang on tenaciously to an oft-times miserable life, when self-des- truction is so easy. Nevertheless, anyone who wants company for sleeping all Sunday morning, or a companion for jumping off roof-had better not ask a Catholic!

 The railroad brought in set tiers. It gave the Territory it. self an opportunity to grow. It became an industry and is one of the largest employers in the Territory today.
 For the fiscal year 194o it moved 763,268 tons of revenue freight and another 270,413 tons of non-revenue freight over a total of 173 million net ton miles. For the year the ARR. realized a profit exceeding S300,O0O. Its payroll was Sl1,- 935,068 and it's employees earned an average wage of S5,118. The 4o-hour week became reality.
 From the Railbelt Reporter:
 From a hope and a dream Alaska got a railroad. Leather tough section men built it. So did grease monkeys and boiler makers, engineers and white collared administrators. Survey gangs built it-so did freight handlers, and office workers, dispatchers and line crews and men with coal shovels.
 A hundred thousand hands united together in single com mon purpose-for pence and progress-built it. Where it will go from here, no mortal man can tell. But men with packs on their backs and men with hope in their hearts will always lead the way.
 Their destination: The noun tains and sky, the tundra and birchwood and horizons un- limited.

Six young housewives living in the same apartment building fell into a dispute of such mag nitude that it resulted in their being hailed into court. When the case was called they all made a concerted rush for the bench and, reaching it, all broke into bitter complaints at the same moment.
 The judge sat momentarily stunned, as charges and counter charges filled the air. Suddenly he rapped for order.
 When quiet had been restored the patient magistrate said qui- etly: "Now, I'll hear the older first"

kenui Looks Back To Year 1701>

In the year 1791 Grigor Kono- valof of the Lebedef-Lastochkin Company, commander of the ship St. George, with sixty-two Rus sians landed at the mouth of the Kaknu or Kenai River and established the fort of St. Nicho- las on the present site of Kenai.
 Three years later, in 1794, Vancouver visited the fort. Ban croft, in his History of Alaska" writes as follows: "When Van couver anchored off the mouth of the Kenai or Kaknu River in 1794 he was saluted by two guns from a building on the high bank, from which also floated the Russian flag. A mis- erable path led up the steep ascent through masses of filth and offal. The establishment oc- cupied a space of about 120 yards square, enclosed with a stout paling of pine logs, 12 feet high. The largest building, 35 yards long, served as- bar racks, consisting of one large room with sleeping-benches on the sides, divided into stalls. The commander, at that time Stepan Zaikof, lived in a smaller house by himself. There were over twenty other small build ings. The 70-ton sloop belonging to the station, armed with two guns, was in a dilapidated con- dition."
 In 1902 the village became known as PaVlovskaia.
 Was Military Post
 From 1869 to 1877 the village was an established U. s. mill tary post known as Fort Kenai
 The native village called Ski took* was located on the present CAA site. Some 60-65 years ago the population of this village was virtually stamped out by flu epidemic. With Russian set clement in Kenai and the open ing of Russian schools, natives moved down from second will lage, Stepanger*, four miles down-river from Skilak Lake School was held in the priests house until at later date school building was erected. Somewhere between 1906-10, English speaking teachers open ed the Nelson Fund School which successively became the Native Service and Territorial Schools. The building on the site of the present US. Mar shal's residence burned in 1927 and was replaced by the exist ing school house.
 The Russian church and mon- ument were built by a Russian missionary, Bortionosky'.
 Canneries were established as early as 1886, and Alaska Pack CTS came in 1894. These first operations were only of two or three years duration. In 1912 Libby, McNeil, and Libby es- tablished their first cannery in Alaska at the mouth of the Kenai River. This cannery burned and was replaced in 1921. Northwestern Cannery came in 1915.
 Post Office in 1899
 In 1899 the first U. s. Post Office was established. Mail service was variously furnished by pack up the beach from Homer, by small boat from An chorage or Homer, and in winter via gsled from Seward Monthly service was attempted, but often the carrier was on the trail three to four weeks as at

Post Office in 1899
 In 1899 the first U. s. Post Office was established. Mail service was variously furnished by pack up the beach from Homer, by small boat from An chorage or Homer, and in winter via gsled from Seward Monthly service was attempted, but often the carrier was on the trail three to four weeks as at tested by the father of Paul Wilson, who made the run. In 1889 with the building of the air field, monthly mail delivery was undertaken by air service. Currently, mail is flown in four times weekly.
 Stores have been in existence on the present site of the Kenai Commercial Company sine e early days, being operated con- secutively by an Italian called "Frenchy," Dawson, Palmer, Parrish, Hartley, Stepan, and Jones.

Chess
By Donald H. Muqridqe

Weaver Adams appearance at
the Bald Eagle Chess Club last
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
gave much satisfaction to men,
bers and visitors. players and
spectators alike. The first night
he played two exhibition games
against the clubs leading experts,
Ben Schwartz and Hans Stein
bach, discussing the games as they
were in progress. Each game
developed into q characteristic
slashing Adams attack, and was
carried to a victorious conclusion
by the performer. The score of
the Steinbach game appears at
the end of this column.
On Wednesday Mr.. Adams took
on % opponents on 81 boards, and
adopted the Vienna game in every
case when his adversary did not
choose a close defense. After
little more than four hours of play
he had won 16 games, drawn /,
and lost 4. The winners were
r. Foster, w. F. Gray, E. M.
Knapp and N. P Wigginton and
D. H. Mugridge in consultation.
The draw was secured by H. Hal
pert. Mr.. Adams scored against
Messrs. H. Arnett. C. Beaton, P.

Four more matches have been

Divan achieved a complete shut
out against the Naval Gun Fac
tory, winning every game in a
l0-board match. Although Ben

board, Bald Eagle succeeded in
scoring 712 to George Washing
