SCANDALMONGERS CRUSHED
A story written by Arthur Train, built upon documentary evi
dence and supported by a letter from John Ha mill, who supplied mat
erial for John J. O'Brien’s book, attacking the cliaracter of President
Hoover and published in Collier’s Weekly, refutes every allegation of
corruption alleged by O'Brien.
Upon the showing an injunction was granted forbidding the fur
ther publication and circulation of ‘The Strange Career.” The revela
tion discloses an ex-convict, dealer in obscene literature, as the dis
tributor, and John Hamill threatening O'Brien with prosecution for
distorting his material into libel and scandal. The story is worth read
ing to all those who have read the scurrilous attacks on our President.

Tiie 1932 Olympiad at Los Anglese will attract many hundreds of
thousands of visitors during July and August; the greater majority of
these will come from the East. Undoubtedly many hundreds, aside from
the annual number of Alaska tourists, will come North.
Explorers have uncovered what they believe to be the tomb ol
Pharoah’s daughter, who found Moses in the bullrushes, and scientists
have discovered the bones of an extinct bird which was large enough
to carry off a man, as described in the Arabian Nights. The myth and
legend theory may have to be laid aside as a means for accounting for
everything strange and unusual in the writings of the remote past Us
«idtimers may have good eyes, ears and memories, rather than good
imaginations.
li we banish illiteracy, where in the world are we to get our future
Some people will make money through newspaper advertising in
1932; some will not; it is & matter of faith and skill.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS
TO VISIT HER FATHER
Around the year 1903, a comely
young bride arrived at Hope, Al
aska, with her husband and bro
ther; the husband and bride re
turning to Seward on their way
back to the States the following
year.
Tonight, with the arrival in port
of the steamship Yukon from the
South, the bride, who is Mrs. W. E.
Thomas, daughter of “Grandad”
Walter Crawford of this city, is re
turning to Seward after an absence
of nearly 30 years for a visit with
her friends and relatives here. Her
brother, who is Ed Crawford, has
been a permanent Seward citizen
since his arrival here years ago.
Mrs. Thomas resides at Modesto,
Calif., with Mr. Thomas and a
daughter and son, who have now
grown to young manhood and wo
manhood, but though she has not
seen Alaska for so long, she doubt
less will be remembered by many
old-time Alaskans of Hope and
Seward who were numbered among
her friends and acquaintances dur
ing her short period of residence in
the Territory.
It is unknown for just how long
or indefinite a period the visit will
extend, but when Mrs. Thomas re
turns to her present home at Mo
desto, she will take with her one
of Seward’s best known and liked
citizens—her father, Walter Craw
ford, intends to make his future
home with his daughter in the
Sunny South.
A rotary and crew arrived in the
local yards Saturday night from
Anchorage.
The moon, changed Sunday so
a change in weather can be ex
pected, perhaps.
