TAG GAME 18 FATAL
ONE CARRIED A GUN
OLYMPIA, Oct. 27.—Lowell Click,
10, was shot and killed this after
noon while playing with his stepbro
ther, Joe Whipple, 10, with a .22 cali
ber rifle, the latter being fired acci
dentally. The lad died within forty
minutes. Coroner Jesse T. Mills says
there is no need of an Inquest, a^ the
youngsters were the best of chums.
The two were out in the pasture near
their home at Chambers Prairie,
watching the stock. They had a rifle
with them and were playing tag, first
one and then the other carrying the
rifle and chasing each other. While
Click was running ahead and Whip
ple was following, In some manner,
that cannot be explained by him, the
gun was discharged and the bullet
went through the upper part of the
body of Lowell.
Peter Neilsen, master mechanic at
Bllamar mine, is a Valdez visitor.

TO BE CONTROLLED
WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 26.—
Early regulation of the baking indus
tfy Was promised tonight by Food Ad
ministrator Hoover. Plans to control
bread production and distribution are
under consideration and will be put
into operation as soon as bread bak
ing experiments In several cities are
completed. Municipal bread depots
will be provided if It is found that
retailers cannot be controlled under
a voluntary arrangement.
The baking industry was left out of
the general food contral law to be
put into effect Nov. 1. Before tak
ing any steps to deal with the indus
try the food administration wishes
to standardize baking flour; bread in
gredients and either the size of the
loaf or the price.
If the size of the loaf is to be stand
ardized. Mr. Hooxer believes prices
can he kept down through competi
tion and if the price is stabilized, he
believes competition will keep the
size of the loaf from being reduced.
If a licensing system Is put into ef
fect, it cannot be made to apply to
retailers and the price will he for
bread at the bakery. The plan for
bread depots will be put Into effect,
if retailers refuse to co-operate in
holding prices down.
