LA BEHRENDS CO., Inc. “Juneau’s Leading Department Store” OLD FORT I8 DESTROYED BY FIRE AT NIGHT MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich, 274-0ld Fort Holmes, hisforic for- tiffcation that never has surren- deped ‘since it was built by the British in 1812, fell in flames the other night after 121 years of un- digputed glory. A cigarette was to have started the blaze in the old blockhouse, and within half an hour the fort was only a pile. of burning logs. ‘Built on the highest point of Maekinac Island soon after the British captured Fort Mackinac in° 1912 its commanding summit made Fort Holmes impregnible. American troops attempted to take it first in the Battle of Mackinac Island in 1814, but were repulsed with heavy losses by artillery belching ' shot and canister over the parapets and rattling volleys fire. History records that “battle more than 200 men rifle this” were slain. The National Industrial Recovery Act does not contemplate impos- ing undue hardships upon anyone |and those who signed the re-em- ployment agreement are privileged to ask for a stay of any section or sections which may be too harsh in their case until such time as a code is approved for their particular industry. | Based upon conversations be- |tween Delegate Dimond and Na- | tional Recovery Administration of- | ficials, the broad statement may be made that Alaska hotel operat- ors were operating under codes | of fair competition long before the |NRA came into being and that | both with respect to hours of labor and pay schedules they are in the great majority of instances now in | such position that they will have lto make few changes when the | hotel, code is drawn. Hearings on that code, it is said, lell be held in about a month. | "It thers should be recalcitrants | they will be brought into line, for |the principle has been firmly es- | tablished that there is ibe no ‘“chisel | Alaska Brown Bear | What changes recent times have {brought the present writer is not i qualified to say, but the geometry | books of an earlier day had for | Axiom No. 1: “A straight line |i1s the shortest distance between | two points.” Although perhaps not so easily | demonstrable the old saying, “This {is a world of contrary ideas” has | been accepted as no less true. | There was once upon a time, however, one subject upon which | there appeared to be unanimity of | opinion, but that happy day, alas, | has departed. | Before the appearance upon th2 ‘Alaska scene of John M. Holz- worth, New York lawyer and, by his own statement, wild life con- servationist, there was quite gen- eral agreement upon the subject of the Alaska brown bear. It was { universally conceded he was mnot a pet. The bear had his friends and his foes. His foes, in that happy time, did, not contend he was always an enigma of roaring destruction spreading death farand wide, and his defenders did not hold that he was a beast of es- sentially gentle instinct, Both sides agreed that under certain conditions it might be best to leave bears alone, and that they had been known to chargs and would kill men for no discoverable reason other than that there was at least a tiny streak of vicious- ness in their nature. Batile Royal Mr. Holzworth changed all that. With terrible sound and no little flair he rushed in and caused a battle royal to ensue. He placed himself at the spearhead of an army that perhaps numbered: only Mr .Holzworth and clamored with a great deal of zeal for more and better protection for brown bear. During the combat Mr. Holzworth drew an entirely new picture of that animal, a picture which may have influenced those easily influ- enced or with somewhat of a flair for fairy tales to look upon the brownie as more sinned against than sinning, and, if not exactly as affectionate as a St. Bernard, than with propensities in that di- rection which would bear training and cultivating. Was a human being felled by a bear, then th> bear was wantdnly provoked, had acted against his better instincts and was in no wise at faplt. From the platform and the printed page Mr. Holzworth has | delivered his message and has trad- ed great and many blows with all who stood in his way.

His in- fluence became so marked that the delegates embled in conven- tion made protest and made moan against what were leadlers. Hurja Gets Busy Word of these activities of Mr. Holzworth came to the ears of Emil J. Hurja, high Administratiye official and good friend of Alaska, himszIf in attendance at the con- vention. Inquiry revealed thab Mr. Holz- worth had gained admittance (o the convention as the “Alaska bear delegate.” v 4 Now Mr, Hurja is wise in ways political. Moreover he had heard of and about Mr. Holzworth be- fore and perhaps was not in entire agreement with some of the lat- ter's theories. So Mr. Hurja set himself to a little quiet investigating. The shots egan to fly when it was discover- ed that Mr. Holzworth a couple of years back was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for Congress from New York State, An ene- my in camp, no less! The convention, committee on credentials had been told that Mr. Holzworth had authority as a delegate from Governor Troy and in proof thereof a telegram, it is claimed, was displayed giving such authority and signed by “A. C. Dimand” secretary to Gavernor Troy.” Whatever strange things might happen to a radio message enroute from Juneau to Kansas City, it is scarcely to be conceived that the mame of Harry G. Wat- son, competent secretary .to Gov- ernor Troy, would come out at the end of the traveling as “A. C, Di- mand.” And it could not very well have come out in any fashion, for Mr. Watson sent no such wire and neither @id the Juneau Em- pire, which, according to an arti- cle recently published in that pa- per, was asked by Mr. Holzworth to accredit him as a delegate, but perversely enough refused to do s0. " Clue Revealed On closer inspection it might ap- pear that the name signed to the telegram has some resemblance to the name of Alaska's Delegate in Congress. There are those umn- kind cnough to claim it was purs posely meant to have such resem- blance and others still unkinder have faid right out in public that a certain party filed the message at one telegraph office in Kansas City and acospted delivery of it at another. Of course, no reput- able person would believe such a story. In the meantime, Mr. Holzworth had been attempting to consolidate his position.

Therefor#, obeying instinct, he carefully put the telegram in a file where one of the hands could possibly secure it and in a mis- guided burst of enthusiasm an- swer it on the spur of the mo- ment. So doing, the to meditate on and bears. Activitics Expcsed His thoughts were soon rudely interrupted by the jangling of the telephone bell. Response disclos- ed the call came from Kansas City and on the other end of the line wag the chairman of the Young Democrats’ credential committee. He wished to know if Mr. Dimond had in any manner given Mr, Holzworth authority to act for Al- aska at the convention and of course was informed that the Dele- gate had not known of the con-, servationist's presence there untik a short time before.

The next day the young Demo- crats, conceding they had been) tricked and befooled and otherwise taken advantage of, summarily ex- pelled Mr. Holaworth from thelr ranks ‘and proceeded along then in harmonious fashion.
