COOPERATION
Through cooperation between the Forestry Bureau
and The Alaska Railroad, there will be more tie cutters
in the woods this winter than for many seasons following
the construction of the railroad. In its surveys of the
forests, proper and careful cruising arid compilations of
dat^i, coupled with scientific methods of harvest and con
servation, the representatives of the Forestry Bureau
have bridged a wide gap between success and failure for
the tie-hacker, in that it is now possible for one desiring
to engage in the industry to secure information from the
Bureau as to quantity, quality and distance of timber
suitable for ties. With this data available, it is now pos
sible for local tie-cutters to take a larger share of the
market created by the railroad, and it is Colonel Ohlson's
policy to encourage local industry in preference to using
imported ties.
TROUT TAIL BOUNTY LOWERED
Trout in Westward salmon streams are still as thick
as ever and are eating as many salmon eggs as in days of
yore, but there is little fishing, if any, for them these
days. On one hand, the Bureau of Fisheries institutes
overnight regulations governing Alaska waters as an al
leged aid to perpetuating the fish industry but with the
other hand, with a feeble gesture toward economy, looks
the other way.
Under the old bounty of 5 cents for trout tails, West
ward people waged a real war against these predatory
aquatic creatures which have a particular fondness for
salmon eggs and gobble them down by the millions. The
bounty, however, has been lowered to 2 cents because of,
says the Bureau, lack of sufficient appropriations. A
penny-wise and pound-foolish policy, because no one in
this world Will set all day on the ice catching trout at 2
cents per.
There was a time when marihuana, the Mexican nar
cotic or drug weed, thrived in certain areas of Alaska,
but not so during the last few years due to extraordinary
precautions and care taken by canneries. Not so long ago
a garden of this drug w'eed was discovered growing with
in the municipal boundaries of a large Eastern city. Of
such stuff are dreams made.
Out of $70,000,000 worth of property due to be sold
for unpaid taxes in Chicago, but $15,000,000 worth actual
ly will be sold, pending litigation acting as a bar to the
sale of the remainder. The tax collector has the reputa
tion of being the most hard boiled of collectors. Perhaps
he has been misrepresented. The law can stop him, but
not the racketeers.

The Germans have found one way to prevent the

unwarranted run on a bank, Were given a month's time

A Senator says that the issue for 1932 will be /beer."
If this is true, all hands will have a pleasant campaign,
regardless of how the question is decided at the polls. At
least, one may take sides intelligently.

M CORPORAL LINKED
WITH $400,001 BRIBE
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. (/P)—The
amazing story of how a corporal
in the army accepted a bribe of
promise of $400,000 and a fair
Roumanian bride to permit the
escape of Umbreto Bianchi, Rou
manian physician and lawyer,
from Governor’s Island, is brought
to light with the arrest of Norris
Renkoff, real estate dealer, on a
charge of conspiring to aid Bian
chi to escape.
The army man involved was
Corporal Alfred Bral, of the dis- j
ciplinary barracks on the island, j
and he faces a maximum penalty
of 30 years in prison for his of
fense- • Corporal Bral explained he
received $3,000 in cash and a
$400,000 letter of credit, which he
mailed to the Bank of France in
Paris. He was to buy his dis
charge from the army, he said,
and go to Europe to marry a
beautiful Roumanian girl.
Dr. Bianchi was said to be the
ringleader of a gang of alien
smugglers.
SNOW-SHOL" WIRELESS
All friction which has heretofore
existed between the municipality
of Seward and its largest suburb,
Porcupine City, has been allayed.
This new spirit of friendliness
which now prevails has been
brought about by the City of Sew
ard constructing the Lagoon walk
at an estimated cost of around
$1,500 across the lagoon. Originally
intended for an automobile road,
the uncompleted road now serves
as a short and excellent way for
Porcupine City residents to visit
the City of Seward on shopping
expeditions or social visitations.
