ENTERTAINING RIG
ITNDER the “Spice of life” column in the July 9 issue of
^The Literary Digest is found this item from the Fair
banks daily:
Entertaining Rig—In Los Angeles Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson bought
a Franklin victrola which they drove to Seattle and then shipped to Fair
banks—Fairbanks (Alaska) paper.
Alaskan papers are no different from others, they all
make mistakes- Just as long as they create a little laugh
ter, all well and good. It was just about a year and a half
ago when The Gateway got into the same column. May
be, sometime, we will have a joke column and when we do
we promise to have not only the Digest in it but the New
York Times.
QUEER FAMILY MUDDLE
4 CASE is reported which presents a n unusual problem
** of relationship among the members of a certain Cali
fornia family. The man in the case has found a solution
of the problem by giving himself up for bigamy.
Then years ago he married a supposed widow, a Mrs.
Stapleton, who had a 16-year-old daughter. Hearing
later that his wife had a living husband in Texas, he left
her and married the daughter, who has since borne him
three children.
Recently he learned that Stapleton had really died be
fore the widow’s remarriage, consequently he finds him
self with two wives on his hands, one of whom is his moth
in-law and the other his step-daughter, while his three
children are the grandchildren of his first wife* A rather
awkward situation for all concerned, we should say.
An Alabama lady wrote to the sheriff telling where 50
gallons of moonshine mash might be found. A sort of a
mash note.

MISINTERPRETED SITS
THE JUNEAU EMPIRE
Regarding the statement made last
Saturday in Seattle by U. R. Ummel,
chief of the Alaska division of the Bu
reau of Education, who will arrive in
Seward tomorrow, in which he said
Alaskan activities of the Federal De
partments of the Interior and Agricul
ture, will be centralized in Alaska,
probably at Seward or Juneau, the
Empire last week carried the follow
ing comment:
“Mr. Ummel’s statement was prob
ably misinterpreted in Seattle, it was
said at the Governor’s office today. He
has been called north to confer with
Mr. Gartland on certain matters in
volved in Secretary’s Work’s policy of
consolidating the w:ork of the Interior
Department bureaus in tfie Territory,
Gov. Geo. A. Parks said.
“It has been frequently stated in
announcements from the Interior De
partment and its representatives,
Governor Parks pointed out, Secretary
Work is working out a program to
have all possible work performed for
Alaska by departmental bureaus done
in the Territory. This was made feas
ible by the act passed by Congress
last February authorizing the Depart
ments of Interior, Agriculture and
Commerce to appoint commissioners
for Alaska to directly represent their'
respective bureaus in the Territory.
“The Governor has been designated
to represent the Interior Department,
Dennis Winn, the Department of Com- i
merce and C. H. Flory, the Depart
ment of Commerce. The three will
compose a board of co-ordination ■
which will have its headquarters here,
centralizing activities of the several
bureaus involved in this city.’’
SANTIAGO, Chile, July 29.(£>)—!
Chile’s Foreign. Minister, Conrad Rios
Sallardo, will tolerate no spirit of
“manana” in the functioning of his
iepartment.
Senor Gallardo has given orders to
lis staff that hereafter use of the word
‘manana” will be forbidden in all
Jealings connected with the Ministry,
and must be substituted by the word
‘hoy,” meaning today.
The minister points out that fre
juent employment of the word “ma
lana” in Latin American countries
!ed to ridicule in the United States
and England, where it is taken as a
symbol of Latin American indolence.
The halibut schooner Myrtle, Capt.
3mil Sandvick, arrived in port yes
erday.
