was to abandon my African COM
mitments and marry the nice
American girl.
Later, rounding the corner on
my way back to the station,
caught sight of the medium jab-
bering breathlessly to three neigh
Dor ladies on her front porch -
peering with ravesaous eyes and
pointing to the young man with
four wives and a fiancee.
Hope for finding predictions
that might come true was now
centered on the oath and last
visionary on my list, a pundit we
shall call Ichabod Asterisk. He en-
joys one of the finest regulations
in the U. S. and several photo
graphs from famous people adorn
his walls in testimony of that fact.

AsTERISK prides himself on hav-

In relating to new clients how

would one day be wealthy. She is
said to have laughed at this idea
- after which she met and mar

Naturally, my expectations of
Ichabod Asterisk were high. That
is why I have taken great care to
record his revelations to me ex-
actly as he uttered them. The fol-
lowing is a faithful report of his
conversation.
Young man. you will never re-
gret consulting me. If / charged

A Mig Help
ALTHOUGH that about winds up
my personal experiences, the "a

predictions about the world politi-

INDUSTRIAL BOARD IIS NAMED IN SUIT TO
 STAY $6,000 AWARD

Owner of the Riverside Mine at Hyder entered suit today against the Alaska Industrial Board and a former employee of the mine, pet itioning that payment Of S6,000 to the employee be stayed until fin al decision is made in the case.
 The Board had awarded tae money to Edward Erickson, who worked number of years at var ious properties belonging to J. H. Scott, the Hyder mine owner, be- cause of silicosis contracted after being employed at the mine four days in May, 1948.
 The Board is composed of Henry Benson, chairman, J. Gerald Will Hams, Territorial Attorney General, and Frank Boyle, Auditor of AL aska Each is named in the suit
 Scott alleges that Erickson agreed to settlement following his falling ill with pneumonia from which the disabling silicosis came, for $500, and that he agreed he did not catch silicosis as a result of his work there.
 The Board refused approval of this settlement, and in a hearing held later, they said that his min ing for 20 years in properties in Oregon, California a:.d Alaska had contributed to the disease.
 Scott said the Board did not find how much Erickson's Alaska work contributed to his illness, which has permanently disabled him from mine work, and that therefore their finding should be stayed until fur ther examination is made.
 The Board claimed the Alaska Industrial Act does not apportion liability, and allowed the sum, plus medical and other expenses.
 Erickson has been a miner since 1906.
