(Special to The Gateway)
A report came from Uzinkie to
the effect that Felix Rapin, a resi
dent of that place, had been miss
ing for over two weeks. His large
„ power dory with a small skiff in tow
were found at anchor about eight
miles west of Uzinkie and some dis
tance from the beach. His dog was
on the dory when the discovery was
made. It is the general belief of
those who knew Rapin, that, de
spite the fact that he was a good
swimmer, he fell fitaon his dory
and was drowned in the icy waters.
No other theory for his disappear
ance is advanced or is probable.

The coldest weather Kodiak has
•experienced in about eight years
prevailed here since Christmas.
The mercury kept dropping below
until it was one above zero. Se
vere winds have also prevailed.
The Apex No. 2, Karl Armstrong,
owner and skipper, was torn from
its anchor in the bay, washed near
shore and sunk. A large scow be
longing to O. Kraft & Son, filled
with water and sank and several
small craft were piled up on the
beach. The temperature on the
12th of January was 32 above.

On the seventh of this month
was celebrated the Russian Christ
mas and the festivities incident
thereto have not subsided as yet.
Mask»-> balls are the order of the
' day and all seem to be v i e i n g
with his neighbor in his appear
ance in costume. This will con
i tinue until Saturday which is the
! Sunday of the Greek Orthodox
Church of which all the Russian
people and many others are mem
bers. After that is over, about all
the excitement we can look forward
to until the fish come is a mailboat
which we get about as often as they
do up at Point Barrow. There is
no other country in the United
States or its possessions where the
mail service is so rotten as it is for
the several thousand people who
live between Seward and the Kus
kokwim River.

CHICAGO IS ON VERGE
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.(^P)—The city’s
representatives in the State legis
lature have decided that the only
way out of the morass of debts
facing Cook County lies in selling
$330,000,000 more in bonds to fund
uncollected taxes.
The public debt must be increas
ed by that amount, representatives
feel, in order to give the municipal
government a chance to avert
bankruptcy.
Chicago owes almost $650,000,000
and has hardly a cent in the treas- ,
ury. Previous attempts to floatj
bonds have failed as bonds already
placed are being defaulted by the
millions of dollars and Chicago, ac-j
cording to Mayor Cermak, is ap- i
proaching the worst emergencyj
ever to face an American city.
Chicago delegates will place the j
bound selling plan and tax reorgan- 1
ization scheme before the official
assembly for approval.

WAKE UP YOUR
LIVER BILE—
WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You’ll Jump Out of Bed in
the Morning Karin’ to Co
II you feet sour and sunk and trie world
looks punk, don’t swallow a lot of saiut,
mineral water, oil, laxative randy cr chewing
| gum end aspect them to make you suddenly
sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
For they can’t do it. They only move the
l»ow*:l« and a more movement doesn't get at
the cause. The reason for your down-and-out
feeling Is your liver, it should pour out two
pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
If this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn’t digest. It just decays in the bowels,
lias bloats up your stomach. Ycu have a
thick, bad ta3te and your breath is foul,
skin often breaks out ir. blemishes. Your head
aches and you feel down and out. Your whole
system is poisoned.
It takes those good, oid CARTER’S
LITTLE LTVER PILLS to get, these two
pounds of bile flowing freely and make you
feel "up and up.” They contain wonderful,
harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing
when it cornea to making the bile flow freely.
But don’t ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter’s
Tuttle Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter’s
Little Liver Pills cn the red label. Resent a
substitute. ' (2) 1U31 C. M. Co.
