THE CRUX OF THE SITUATION
M. D. Williams, head of the Bureau of Public Roads
in Alaska, goes direct to the heart of Alaska difficulties
when he urges constructionof roads in Alaska as an aid
in developing the mineral resources of the Territory. In
this he will have the whole-hearted support of all. It is as
sumed, judging from today's telegram, that it is his wish
for his department to enter the field which the Alaska
Road Commission is and has been serving so well these
many years past..
A fight to the finish, yodels Mayor Thompson of
Chicago, in accepting the gauntlet of war hurled at him
by the lawless element. Why not get “Tex” to stage the
bout. It’s seems to be different in merely killing someone
than hurling bombs at the homes of his cronies.
After.reading of the way New Year was celebrated
in certain quarters— in the States, not Alaska—if any
honest citizen isn’t stronger than ever for strict enforce
ment, there’s something wrong with the citizen or with
prohibition.
HOT DOGS YS THE COLLEGE
Gregory J. Deck of Buffalo was poor but ambitious
nine years ago, when at the age of 18 he determined to
have an education. But hot dogs blocked his way.
Casting about for some means of earning his way
through college, Deck tried running a hot dog stand and
met with success beyond his fondest expectations. Busi
ness was so good that he could not take time to go to
school. Soon he opened additional stands, all of which
prospered.
Recently he bought out six competitors and now has
what virtually amounts to a “hot dog trust” in his home
city, with a warehouse, a bakery, a butcher shop, a fleet
of 12 trucks and 16 hot dog stands. His annual turnover
is more than $500,000 and he draws from his business a
salary equal to that of the President of the United States
$75,000 a year.
If the police fool around much longer trying to set
traps for the abductors of Miss Smith perhaps we will be
reading of her death within the next few days.
The best answer to Mayor Thompson's edict—he is
now fighting Chicago gangs—to keep King George out
of Chicago would be a movement to keep Mayor Thomp
son out of the head-lines.
Captain Mac Millan should be glad he is frozen in up
in Labrador where the Chicago gangsters have not a
chance.
“The House of Lords approves 241 to 88, the re
vised prayer-book of the Church of England.” News
item. The Lords’ prayer, as it were.
No surer sign of Hickman’s sanity could be demon
strated than the stunt of yesterday, crossing his attorney.
The success of the Seattle fur sale should be heart
ening to Alaskan trappers. The wonderful growth of the
Seattle concern should serve to enlighten trappers as to
it’s real worth.
Justice demands it of course but think of all the
money being spent to try Hickman..
That’s the end for you, the hangman will say to Hick
man, as he steps upon the scaffold.
Though one may rant about Federal Bureaucracy,
etc., yet we would deplore seeing the Panhandle of Alas
ka sold. Together we stand and united we fall, etc.
One may travel throughout the land but the under
taker will get you in the end. v _
LAWLESS ELEMENT
THE GANG WILL BE SORRY~THEY
THEY STARTED THIS, SAYS
“BIG” MAYOR
CHICAGO, Jan. 28. (/P)—The dyna
mite defy that the bombers of Thurs
day hurled at the doorstep of the ci
ty comptroller, was snatched up with
agility by the administration.
Mayor Thompson said “this is a
direct challenge from the lawless ele
ment in Chicago and we accept their
challenge. When the fight is over
the challengers will be sorry. We in
tend to work harder than ever to
I break this gang’s back and recent
| outrage.”

SKYSCBiFER TO SUPPORT

ACCORDING TO PUNS
CHICAGO, Jan. 28. (/P)—Plans for
a 42 story sky-scraper to house and
thru its rentals to virtually endow the
Chicago Civic Opera Co., were an
nounced by Samuel Insull, president
of the cpmpany. The sky-scraper is
to cost $20,000,000, occupy an entire
block and will contain a small theatre,
shops and offices in addition to opera
facilities. Mr. Insull said completion
and occupancy of the building is ex
pected to do away with supporting
fund.
