AND STILL THEY COME
After several years of backing and filling, passing
the buck and throwing up smoke screens respecting the
reindeer situation, it is announced by Secretary Wilbur
of the Interior Department that the reindeer question is
one of competition involving the beef interests of the
States.
Now we receive the announcement that “unit mana
gers” are being appointed on recommendation of Gover
nor Parks and that they will be stationed in the reindeer
■country. The latest to be named to such office is a stran
ger to Alaska, of course, Len G. Briggs, from Iowa, and
for several years employed by Armour & Co., of Chicago.
Thus we again witness the spectacle of the creation
of additional sinecures for political favorites at a time
when the administration is shouting “economy in the op
eration of government” and when Congress has working
overtime to add new avenues for taxation on every item
effecting our daily lives.
Under the circumstances it appears to have been a
happy selection in naming an agent of the beef trust. And
again, there appears to be but a short period left during
which the present Congress and administration will be
permitted to continue its mismanagement; therefore it
is quite natural that the faithful must be provided for be
fore the people issue their mandate of “thumbs dowm.”
An Eastern summer resort advertises, “Clean danc
ing every night except Monday.” Is this a bid for big Mon
day night crowds?
We feared some Senator would be bright enough to
think up that Federal tax on gasoline.
Economy has little appeal for a Congressman with a
nice slice of government pork within his grasp.

ST.L
HAS THREE OLDEST
DELLS IN TOWER
What are said to be the three old
est church bells west of the Mississ
ippi River are in the College
Church of St. Louis, where they
have rung for almost a century.
The bells, believed more than 150
years old were cast in Spain and
originally were installed in Spanish
churches- Named after saints, they
are known as Jerome, Augustin ana
Francis.
The largest, Francis, was broken
during the French bombardment of
Cadiz in 1812 and later was recast.
Later, when church property was
being confisced in Spain, the bells
were smuggled to Germany.
In 1842 a band of Saxons brought
the bells to this country with them.
SUNDAY OUTING
A number of localites left the city
Saturday for Lake Kenai uV.iere
they boarded motorboats and jour
neyed down to Russian River. They J
reported an excellent outing de
spite rain flurries and overcast
skies. They were delayed on the re
turn trip somewhat and arrived in
towm at an early hour this morning.
City mother on visit to the coun
try—“Johnny, why do you not eat
your mush and milk?”
Johnny—“Nothin’ doin’! I saw
the hired man drain this from a
cow’s carbureter.”

FANCY SHOT LUCAS j
Details are lacking but it is re- j
liably reported that Henry Lucas, J
guide, who is at present engaged !
in counting moose in Kenai penin
sula for the Alaska Game Commis- 1
sion, had a narrow escape from j
death by a brown bear. Seems like,
Lucas was taking a short cut down i
into a valley and was descending a
cliff by practically hanging and
dropping from point to point. Just
as he was ready to let go of such a J
hand clasp a bear sprang up and j
charged him. But Lucas, hanging j
by one hand, with his rifle in the j
other, succeeded in potting the'
animal, regardless, and lives to tell j
the tale.

Berger, left Anchorage Sunday nite j
