REACHING THE LIMIT
One reads with an element of disgust the announce
ment that an appeal has been made to the recipient of the
Lindbergh $50,000 ransom, to “return it to Colonel Lind
bergh and get your $25,000 reward!”
Thus we have the acknowledgement of the police
powers of the State of New York and the nation at large
that a small group of criminals are superior in intellect
to organized government. Guaged by the state and affairs
obtaining from the most exalted position in the nation to
the town constable, this appears to be a fact.
Which again brings up the question whether or not
a people as a whole are equal to the responsibility of pop
ular government.
We will never get a true test of the powers of the na
tion until the prohibition farce is ended. Then we will
see if there still remain sufficient people committed to
orderly government to enlist in the work of cleaning the
ulcers from the nation’s escutcheon.

III NEW YORK STATE
TUCKAROE, N. Y., May 30, —
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt ap
proved of the plan for relief of un
employment. Plans call for a sys
tem of “subsist farms” to which
impoverished families from all
cities and towns of the state will
be sent for the duration of depres
sion. The plan will be financed by
the states and local funds. Farms
to be small and located in thinly
populated regions. The families
will raise their own food, thus be
partly self supporting. The gov
ernor urged the owners of idle
farms to offer them for use. “I
can announce that this new and
important jroilief measure is im
mediately going into effect. It
seems leviating the critical situ
ation of some of those who have
suffered devastatingly in this
depression,” Roosevelt said.

WALTER E. CRAWFORD
PIONEER OF REWARD,
DIES IN SOUTHLAND
Word was received Sunday by
Edward A. Crawford, manager of
the Alaska Transfer, announcing
the death of his father, Walter E.
Crawford, at Modesta, Calif.
Mr. Crawford removed to Califor
nia several w*peks ago, following
many years residence in Seward,
where, with his estimable wife, he
was numbered among the most
highly respected pioneers and a
true type of sturdy frontiersman.
Mrs. Crawford preceded her hus
band to the grave several months
ago in Seward. Due to their be
nevolence and engaging personali
ties Mr. and Mrs- Crawford were
affectionately known as “Grand
ma” and “Grandpa” by their fellow
townspeople.
Coming of New England pioneer
stock, Walter E. Crawford was born
in Chatauqua county, New York,
September 15, 1849. He was the
sotn of Edwin and Sallie Ellen
Crawford, natives of Vermont and
Maine.
Walter E. Crawford was reared
in Chatauqua county, where for a
while he attended the public
schools. He engaged in farming
until his marriage in 1869 to Miss
Emma Ostrander, who was a native
of the same state, where she was
born September 13, 1852. In 1876
Mr. Crawford removed to Minne
sota. where he was one of the first
settlers in that county, owning a
half section of land in Herrick
township.
As South Dakota became settled,
Mr. Crawford sold his farming
land and some years later came
to Seward, being one of the pio
neers of the district, remaining
Garden Seeds and “Loma.” J- L,
Graef.

here until recently when, owing to
old age and feeble health, he left
for Modesta, accompanied by his
daughter, Mrs. Thomas.
Despite his declining years and
ill health, like his estimable wife,
Mr. Crawford by his philosophical
and cheerful disposition held a
high place in the esteem of the
community and were loved and res
pected by all who knew them.
The mailboat Discoverer, Capt.
Heinie Berger, arrived in port Mon
day afternoon and departed for
Anchorage and Cook Inlet ports
at an early hour this morning.
The U. S. S. Discoverer, Captain
Campbell, left port today for the
Kodiak area where the next three
weeks will be occupied in survey
work.
NOTICE
The members of the American
Legion will meet on June 1st at the
Legion Club rooms at 7:30 p.m.
NOTICE
Mrs- M. Garrity, who has her
dress-making shop on Fourth Ave
nue, will be absent for two weeks.
However, it may be she will return
a few days earlier, but in any case,
patrons are asked to await her re
turn before sending their work
elsewhere.
