A FRIENDLY ADMINISTRATION. Gov. Troy, returning home, was delighted to re- port “all official Washington” entertaining a friend- ly atitude toward Alacka. He found everywhere genuine and sympathetic interest in the Territory and its normal as well as its emergency problems, and a desire on the part of all the Administration from top to bottom to be of aid here. That is, indeed, a welcome and encouraging report. It instills confidence in Alaskans to go ahead in their work to develop another great State here on the last American frontier. It is especially gratifying to know that Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department, which is most largely concerned with Alaskan affairs, is particularly interested in- tk Territory. Carrying probably a ficial burdens than any man in President Roosevelt, from his re- spons! y as Pul Works Administrator and head of the Bog dministering the oil code which is in additon to Lis rcgular duties, the Secretary is one of the busiest of men. Yet, despite all of this vital work, he has found time to give Alaska much thought In the past eight or ten months, we have had many evidences of the friendly attitude of which the Governor spoke. Many hundreds of our residents are at work today because of it. Roads and trails have been built, old ones have been improved, much beneficial work is being done on public property and more will be done. All in all, Alaska has shared abundantly at the Administration’s hands in the sort of aid that is about the only means left just now to combat want and distress. A FRIEND TO MANY. A friend of Dr. W. J. Pigg, who died here Sunday, said of him: “In Dr. Pigg there was no trace of egotism.” That, we believe, was one of his outstanding characteristics. He had many friends because he was himself the friend of many. He was a true disciple of Hippocrates. He was one of the vanishing type of the oldtime family physician. No call that came to him was neglected. The question of fee and its payment never entered his mind. His mission was to relieve the suffering if it was within his power and he honestly and earnestly under- took to carry it out. Adult and child loved him. Perhaps his closest contacts were with children. He made companions of them, shared their troubles and their joys with them. His untimely passing is a distinct loss to the community. He will be sorely missed by many. HIGH GOLD PRICE FOR YEARS. The IPresident’s prorposal for dollar devaluation indicates a high price for gold for a number of years to come. This bears out a prediction made recently by Prof. George F. Warren of Cornell University, and one of the President’s advisors on monetary matters. Addressing the American Eco- nomic Association in Philadelphia early this month, that authority asserted it was practically certain that the value of gold will fluctuate violently and that the best that can be expected from various six months, in advance, | $1.25. | ill confer a favor if they will promptly | development of foreign investments, which at any i time may 'and the desire for gold for military purposes, Prof |Warren said required. They seem to have forgotten our experience from 1929 to February, 1933. To set any figure that is too old for a gen- eration certainly involves a considerable element of risk both to our prosperity and to the future of the gold standard. The gold standard might be able to survive another unsuccessful world attempt to re- establish it. A proposal to provide some method for making future necessary changes in the price of gold without the necessity of long years of economic distress and political agitation would seem to be a con- servative proposal. If the gold standard is to have a chance of survival, it requires some kind of a safety valve. Calling attention to the scramble for gold among all countries, the possibilities of sudden movement of gold from one country to another, the great be shifted, and the war uncertainties| these indicated fluctuations in the value of gold are to be expected. And, he added, it is to be expected that these fluctuations will be around a high value. Some two years ago an American aviator was| detained by Japanese officers because he took some photographs. Now American officials arrest five| Japanese in the act of photograhing a railroad | bridge. If they can't be handled under the espionage| act maybe Gen. Johnson can get after them for| operating without signing the photographers’ code.| Cold tea is said to be growing in popularity in the States. It is flavored with alcohol and is sold under the trade name of blended whiskey. Corn likker invariably amazes strangers, asserts| the Macon, Ga., Telegraph. That's nothing to its paralyzing effect on some of the homefolks. Deserving of Unanimous Support. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) A program of material assistance to business recovery in the Northwest has been announced by | the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. It is known as the *“1934 Pacific Northwest Recovery Program.” | The principal objective of the Chamber is the se- curing of $60,000,000 in additional funds for needed work. The program is not local. It will be of benefit to the entire Pacific Northwest. And since | the program is general in scope it is only fair that) generous support should be given the Chamber in what are certain to be most effective efforts toward | the obtaining of the Federal funds sought. | The Federal Government has pointed the way toward recovery. Vast public projects, labor absorb- | ing projects, are to be financed by the Government. | Unemployed will be put to work. Purchasing power | will be increased and thereby private industry will | be permitted to start the wheels turning again. | The areas that are backward, areas whose people | have no well balanced public works programs, will not progress as will the territory which the Seattle Chamber of Commerce serves. Aside from obtaining the additional $60,000,000 Federal funds the Chamber of Commerce is launch- ing preliminary plans for attracting hundreds of thousands of tourists to the Pacific Northwest in 1934. The tourists will not only bring new money, but many will be so impressed with this area that they will make their permanent homes here. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has the facili- ties with which to put through its constructive program next year. As individuals we can do little towards general recovery. The Chamber has a Washington, D. C. office and most valuable con- tacts there with influential officials. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is not pro- vincial. It seeks to serve the State and the entire Northwest as well as Alaska. It is an organiza- tion whose record is one of accomplishment. All should support the Chamber in its “1934 Paicfic Northwest Recovery Program.” All should know what next year's program involves. For many years the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has been providing | leadership. At this time the organization is in position to work most advantageously for the good of all citizens. The cooperation sought by the Chamber should be willingly given and thus the organization can be a more powerful force working for the attainment of those things which all recognize as absolutely imperative if business re- | covery is to become an actuality. | | If Heflin returns to the Capitol with Huey | there, we'd as soon try to sleep in a bowling alley. —(Detroit News.) Senator Thomas, ardent inflationist, says he will stand back of the Roosevelt Administration. The | public’s only interest is to learn how far back.— (Indianapolis Star.)

Anderson, aged 87, Seattle grocer, former Al- jaskan, are being held this after- noon at Bremerton. He died at Silverdale last Tues- Chapter 47 HOT FIGHT LONG yell arose. It was taken up and echoed by those below. The Klosohees at the lean-to's seized their weapons and sprang to cover in a rocky ravine three rods to their left. LeNoir started to follow them. Paul's bullet caught him and sent him rolling. He staggered to hig feet again. As Paul drew another bead on him, two of the Klosohées leaped out and g abbed his arms and helped him toward the gully. It was so courageous an act that Paul refused to shoot again’ for fear of killing those two. Down the shore Siam-Klale had swerved his canoe in toward the bank when the yell went up. Paul swung on him and emptied his rifle, but the range was far too long even for Paul. Splashing through the stallows, Siam-Klale dived out of sight into a juniper clump. At the cabin Karakhan appeared in the doorway tc see what the com- motion wus about. Curt whipped up his rifle and shot. His bullet splin- tered the door frame, and sent the Cossack jumping back inside. After that first pandemonium a silence fell. Curt saw mnothing, heard nothing. The advantage of surprise was gone, tiaey were thrown on the defensive; and now they were up against overwhelming odds, in a timber fight where the Klosohees were deadly. Tenn-Og pointed down at the ra- vine. Siam-Klale aad the 'breed had got their men in hand and were bringing them up the deep brusby gully. “We'd better get back to the cave,” Paul warned. Curt shook his head. If they did, the Klosohees would keep them penned up in there for hours. Karak. kan would escape. Sonya would: be taken away. He hung on grimly, waiting for a break. Without warning, an arrow burned into the tangle and pinmed his jacket sleeve to the log he was lyinz against. !t came not from level range but from above. He turned, looked up at the cliff. in a clump of buckbrush on top of the rock a bush swayed, a man’s head and shoulders appeared for ap instant. It dawned on him that the Klo- sohees had out-maneuvered and cor- nered them. While part of the band | wag coming slowly up the ravine, the others had circled out the slope and up on top of the cliff. He jerked up his rifle and shot at| the buckbrush clump. A man leaped | up, staggering blindly, took a step or two, plunged over the lip af the rock, struck once against the face | ca But they reached the foot of the cliff, hit into the trail and dashed out along it to the cave mouth. “Get on back!” Curt cried to Tenn-Og, who had halted in the en- trance. “We can’t hold ’em off. All hell can’t stop 'em!” They hurried Paul back to the bridge, and between them they got him across the logs to the cave. Curt whirled to pull the logs down and stop the Klosolees. In half a minute they would be pouring inside to fin- ish off their wounded enemies. Neither he nor Paul could put up any fight. But as he stouped down and | grasped the log ends, he thought ot | the consequences—the three of | them cooped up in there for hours, Karakhan escaping, Sonya being | statched away and hidden. It was this last thought that stopped him. He could not sacrifice her in order to save himself. He straightened up. “Tenn-Og! Take the lead. Get us out to that ledge opening.” The Indian seized his hand and started away into the inky black- ness. The next few minutes were a blind and aimless groping. Then on hands and knees they squeezed through a slit in the rock and came oct on the ledge near the fissure. | Curt grasped a bush, leaned out and glanced back along the face of | the cliff to the cave mouth. The ferns and dwarf birches hanging against the rock obscured his view, but he saw enough to know that most of the Klosohees had swept on inside. Only three or four men re mained at the entrance. He drew ®ack. “They're in the looking for us. Paul, stay e. You're too wabbly. Tenn-Og and I'll try to trap 'em.” HEY scrambled into the fissure and down to the game trail, and | headed back to the cave mouth. With automatic drawn Curt rounded 2 jut and ran headlong into LeNoir, | Siam-Klale and a third man. The 'breed saw him first, and grabbed with his felt hand for his belt-gun; but Curt’s actomatic cut him down and he toppled over, shot cleanly through the heart. i With a hoarse cry Tenn-Og sprang past Curt and flung himself bodily at the other two. The third | man stabbed at him with a spear ard tore the flesh in his arm. Tenn- Og grabbed the weapon, wrenched it away, and whirleu on Siam-Klale. Tenn-Og's arm went back, his body tautened like a steel spring, he lunged forward and drove the spear home with all the ‘orce of his long- | cherished hate. The point struck Siam-Klale square in the breast. He of the cliff as he fell, and hit with a| heavy thud on the boulders beneath. | Almost at tha* same instant a third arrow came hurtling down at | Curt and hit the bolt of his rifie. De- | flected downward, it struck his right | hand that gripped the trigger guard, | ard sheared off his ring finger like a razor-edged chisel. He lifted his| hand and stared blankly at the wound, unable to realize that his | finger had been cut off, till the blood started spurting and darts of pain shot up his arm, OME swift flashing object, whiz- zing down from the cliff-top like a tiny cartwheel, caromed off a boulder, glanced sidewise, and smashed Paul across the forehead. His riffe dropped from his hands. he went limp and sank over against a log. g As Curt whirled to see how badly Paul had been hurt by the whizzing belt-ax, he caught a glimpse of Karakban making a dash from his cabin to the hangar. Flipping the blood from his stinging hand, he rose up, pointed his rifle and took a careful aim at the scurrying figure. Before his finger sgueezed the trigger, a sudden agonizing pain struck him in the right hip and nearly bowled him over. Giddy and faint from the shock, he looked down and saw an arrow buried head- Geep in his thigh. He seized hold «f the shaft shut his eyes, gave a hard jerk, and the arrow came, Curt grabbed Paul’s shoulder and shook him. “Paul! We've got to make a break. They’ve got us, here. Pull yourself together. If we can get to the cave we might save our- selves.” He helped Paul to his feet, steadied him; and they started for the game trail. Tenn-Og led the way, tearing a path through the tangled brush. Behind them the Klo- sohees in the ravine poured out of their cover and came yelling up the slope, to overhau} and spear them. tried to grapple with Tenn-Og, but his arms went limp, he staggered and fell backwards, and went roll- ing down the slope till he fetched up against a tree. The third man dived like a scared marmot into the cave. Curt smashed him with the butt of his automatic, and reached the log. Bracing his foot to keep himself from toppling, he lifted the logs, swung, and let go. When he got baci. vutside he saw Tenn-Og standing down the slope, staring at Siam-Klale’s body as though the end of his vergeance had left him dazed. Pavl was stumbling along the game trial toward them, his face so covered with blood that he was hardly recognizable. “You — you knocked the out?” “Listen!” From the cave came yells of fear and terror as the Klo- sohees groped for the bridge and found it gone, “Does that sound as though I did?” A caribou spear came hurtling | out through the cave entrance. Paul | a I Curt hastily jumped aside. i Down on the lake a motor started | up with a spluttering roar. Curt’s wounds, the quick desperate work of the last minute, and the smash- ing success of his trap. had made him forget about Karakhan, but the roar brought him alive. He turned, threw down his gun. “‘Stay here, Paul, you and Tenn-Og! I'll stop him!” “But how ... You can’t stop him!” “I've got to! I will!” | He plunged down the slope,: passed the cabin without checking| himself or even looking at ft, swerved west along the lake shore, | and headed for the cove at a dead| run. The wound in his thigh pained | till it sickened him; he breathed in gulps, and every stride jolted a nln! trom his lips; but he shut his eyes against the pain and ran on. ’ (Copyright, William B.
