GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION ALASKA TH. \E GOOD OFFICIAL TO BE REPLACED BY OTHER. It is a matter for regret that Judge Frank A. the United States Boyle is about to retire from Commissionership at this place. Judge Boyle has made an excellent Commissioner. He is a capable lawyer, painstaking and square, a worker and a good mixer. He has a natural aptitude for public service. As Register of the Land Office and as Commissioner he has been an ideal public officer. And he has been a fine, public spirited citizen. However, it is good to know that Judge Boyle's successor will be Judge Arthur W. Fox. He also is a capable lawyer and makes an ideal public servant. He also is a good mixer, is thoroughly honest, works hard and efficiently. He has held office in Juneau, Ketchikan and Hyder for many years and has engaged in the private practice of | the law. He has a habit of making good as an official and as a citizen. The Empire in common with all the people of Juneau wishes Judge Boyle good health and pros- perity as a private citizen and in the practice of law. And, in common with all Juneauites, we wel- come Judge Fox's return to this City and wish that he might be happy in his position. That he will make good goes without saying. DOHENY THE GOAT? Capt. Robison, who was in charge of the Naval Bureau of Engineering at the time, testified that E. L. Doheny had agreed to bid for the Elks Hill oil reserve only after naval officers had told him of the great need of the Pearl Harbor fuel supply depot. That would indicate that he was coaxed | into a lot of troubles rather than bribing his way into them. Whatever may be ascertanied to be the facts about bribery, we believe reasonable people who know the physical facts will agree that Mr. Doheny's contract with the United States was a good one for the Government. The United States would prob- ably have got more from the great oil man than she will ever get out of the property with his| contract cancelled. It is worthy of note, also, that the United States has got her oil fields back, and some $10,- 000,000 or $11,000,000 in development, storage tanks, etc., in addition. Mr. Doheny has already paid y' CHAIN BANKING. 9 A. J.

While Germany may be de-| pended upon to produce a man to fill any pair of | shoes, Stresemann had won a prestige that car-| | vied great weight. Premier MacDonald declares that he will up his conversations with President Hoover by talk- ing things over with the Premiers of France, Italy| and Japan. The British Premier bids fair to be- come a rather noteworthy conversationalist follow Another Exception to Prove Another l(ule.‘ (Engineering and Mining Journal.) { The wise man is naturally cautious; knowledge has given his imagination a background on which to construct hidden dangers; he knows too well the | penalty of rashness.

For a port, the size of Vancouvre, the compar- ative scarcity of shipping and marine news car- ried by the press of that city, is something to wonder at. The people of Seattle, Tacoma and Portland carry pages of reports dealing with mari- | time affairs. But in Vancouver, it is largely con- fined to a few uninteresting paragraphs and odds and ends of alleged waterfront news. Great stories come in from the seas—if you've time, talent and energy to find them. Alaskans should burn Alaska coal for the good high for being a goat. i [ L New Shipment LADIES’ UMBRELLAS In Various Grades PHONE 478 : AND OUR FOR MORE LT U UL O T T T T T T T ] Illll\llllllllflllllll CALIFORNIA GROCERY The Home of Better Groceries e-arranging Stock WATCH THIS SPACE of their immortal souls and the everlasting glory of the Territory—(Seward Gateway.)

The Little Black Clock stood e correct time at all. The Little Black Clock remained at seven o'clock all the time—that is as far as the world knew. But John and Peggy knew of his:: reward. For being willing to re- main at seven o'clock to all the rest of the members of the fam- v, he was given the magic that allowed him to turn himself back- ward or forward to any hour at all “What shall it be tonight?” he asked John and Peggy. “Shall 1 turn way ahead or way behind, or a little ahead or a little behind?” “Let’s turn the time a couple of hundred years ahead or so,” sug- gested Peggy. No sooner had she said this than the Little Black Clock stepped down from his place on the desk, stretched his hands and said: “I'm sure you'll need a new apart- | i ment. It's so noisy now.” “But we have a nice house,” said John. He had hardly spoken than the whole scene changed and there was so much noise everywhere. “I really advise a cave,” saild the Little Black Clock. “A cave?” John asked. “A cave?" Peggy echoed. “Yes,” said the Little Black Clock, |“the noise from those airplanes is becoming so great that I think if|= to| you found a nice, quiet cave live in you'd be more comfortable.” “Let's try it,” John said. So the Little Black Clock whisked them away to a quiet, dark, nice cave. suggested that they should have something to eat.
