Troy and others who have been urging a restoration of ship- ping to Alaska. That is, recognizing the fact that this Territory has only the one means of transpor- tation—by water—and one source of supply—through Puget Sound—and that a complete cessation of that traffic inevitably means untold suffering to indi- viduals through loss of employment and lack of even the essentials of life as well as a breakdown of the Territorial Government in all of its more important functions, ‘the unions have agreed to separate Alaska from the rest of the Pacific Coast. To everyone who was familiar with the situation here, this solution was obvious from the very outset. The great difficulty has been in making this plain to the union workers who, from the first, evidenced every desire to see that Alaskans did not suffer from lack of foodstuffs, medicine and other neces- sities of life. The only failure was that they did not in the beginning recognize that the long run effects would be even more disastrous than a present shortage of food, etc. It was never immediate famine that menaced Alaskans. It was the break- down of government through lack of funds, the lack of food and fuel and clothing next winter through lack of funds that must be collected by the Territory in revenue and by individuals in wages from indus- tries during the short working season that is avail- able in these northern latitudes. And those who had that knowledge served the Territory well in imparting it convincingly to the strikers. To them both industry and labor, in fact all Alaskans, owe a debt of gratitude for their persistent campaign of education which was directed at Fed- eral, State and local authorities as well as toward the strikers, operators and mediators. The cost of the shipping stike to Alaska has been heavy, falling very largely upon salmon trollers and halibut fish- ermen, both of whom labor diligently at arduous tasks to earn sums sufficient to keep them and their families through the year. With their fresh markets cut off, they have been forced to remain idle in the one instance, and to accept lower prices for their fares in the other, causing the loss of many thou- it should be. The interests of the two towns are common. They have no antagonistic aims or ends to serve. In a few years the two should become in fact if not in name a single community working in unison for the advancement of Gastineau Channel industries and institutions and for the good of the entire Territory. The Republicans seem to have felt it necessary |to have a new Chairman of their National Com- mittee but the Democrats have wisely concluded to get along with their old one for a while longer. Both organizations probably acted with the results of the 1932 Presidential election in mind. People wondered what the Government would do with its jails after Prohibition ended. It seems as if they were just going to keep on putting bootleggers in them ‘What, asked the poet is so rare as a day in June? In these modern times it's a man who either isn't on a strike or planning to go on one. When it comes to successfully getting nowhere, these disarmament conferences undoubtedly hold the long-distance record. The Budget for 1934-35. (New York Times.) In his message to Congress asking a supple- mentary appropriation for relief purposes, President Roosevelt made one statement of great interest in its bearing on the budget for 1934-35. Noting that expenditures for the current fiscal year (which ends June 30) are running far below his January esti- ates, the President stated that “the appropriations are still in force and the amounts actually to be expended during the following fiscal year will, therefore, be increased over and above my estimates for that fiscal year.” Viewed in this light, the figures submitted to Congress last January must be substantially revised. The President then forecast an enormous deficit of $7,000,000,000 for the fiscal year which ends June 30, but planned for 1934-35 a budget brought into balance except for an estimated $2,000,000,000 needed for direct relief and the winding up of the recovery program. It is now evident that expenditures for the current year will fall at least $3,000,000,000 short of the President’s high figure. But Mr. Roosevelt does not regard this as salvage. He speaks of it rather as a deferred expenditure which will be made after July 1. In other words, in place of deficits of $7,000,000,000 and $2,000,000,000 for the years 1933-34 and 1934-35 respectively, he suggests deficits of $4,- 000,000,000 and $5,000,000,000. The total cost of the New Deal, in terms of the accompanying increase in the national debt, is still estimated at $9,- How close to the mark this estimate will come depends chiefly upon the amount of “deferred” ex- pendtures actually made in the new fiscal year. No been identified, for one thing. There are some points to be cleared up—" The detective left it thus vaguely, “points to be cleared up.” Lafferty, Iurking in the background, grinned to himself at the phrase. Dufresne rose, frowning, and crossed to the hearth. He dropped his cigarette among the ashes, “It seems a pretty clearcut case to me,” he grumbled, then added, with a sudden ferocity that was startling, “That fellow, whoever he is, got just what he deserved. Why should any fuss be made over it? If his body were thrown into the bay and left to float out to sea with the rest of the harbor scum, it would be burial enough.” Harper listened to this bitter out- pouring with lifted brows. “Per- haps,” he said quietly. “We are not concerned with him alone. One of our own men lost his life through this business. That certainly gives us a direct and personal stake.” “I've sent for Director Connors,” Dufresne announced, abruptly. “He promised to come up here some time this morning and I shall cer- tainly place my views hefore him. It's too much. After all, the thing is done, the evidence is very plain.” “Mr. Dufresne, this is a murder | aghy. What's next on the cards?” ARPER consulted his list of memoranda. “Call up Headquar- |ters and tell them to send up a plainclothesman. We'll send him off |on a round of the theatrical outfit- | ters and costumers to see if he can find where that disguise was bought. “Then get hold of the reporters and announce that we want the co- | operation of all garages in finding the car which our man must have used. If they run that in connec- tion with the dead man's picture it might lead to something. Now I'm going upstairs to have a little visit with Mrs. Dufresne.” The detective went up to the sec- ond floor and knocked quietly on the bedroom door. There was an answer- “The investigation must be carried out.” |ing rustle from within, then the dgpr opened a few inches and s an in a starched white dress and nurse’s cap looked out. Her plain, severe features, innocent of all cosmetics, expressed annoyance “I'm Sergeant Harper,” the detec tive announced. “I came up to see how Mrs. Dufresne is progressing.” “She is asleep just now,” the nurse answered in low, precise tones. “You are the nurse Dr. Ulrich sent for last night?” “Yes.

Dobbs in the customs house Dobbs was going south to attend the Grand Lodge of Masons ses- sion in the south. With three wins and two losses the Gastineau Juneau baseball team took the lead over the Douglas- Treadwell team in the series which was keepifig fans in a state of ex- citement. In the fifth game of the series,%held the previous afternoon, the Juneau boys won 7 to 4. Weather for the previous 24 hours was clear with a miximum temper- ature of 66 and a minimum of 45. Company’s new Juneau-Douglas- Treadwell-Thane ferry boat Alma, in command of Capt. Waldo States, left Seattle bound for Juneau. The Alma was to reach Juneau with all possible speed and assume her run immediately upon arrival. She was the largest motor power boat on the Pacific coast and the last word in daylight passenger craft con- struction. Charles Goldstein was host to a Bear Creek fishing party consisting of members of his family and a number of friends over the week- end. They left Juneau in Mr. Goldstein’s launch Grace E. Sat- urday evening and returned to town Sunday evening after a successful trip. Collector of Customs J. F. Pugh was host to a stag party to Salmon Creek on Sunday. The party went in the customs launch to the low- er power house from which the trip turn. Other members of the expe- dition were J. R. Willis, Guy Mec- Naughton, M. S. Whiitier and John W. Troy.

No public improvement carried out in this vicinity in recent years is of greater significance or promises more for the future than the Douglas bridge across Gastineau Channel. Since it was first to work for the project and, despite years of disappointment and frusiated hopes, it prosecuted the campaign experience of this sort can be pinned more than a slender hope that the aggregate deficit for Mr. Roosevelt’s first two years will fall short of the estimated $9,000,000,000. Conditions can't be really so difficult, when the air is so full of sales talk about things that are good for folks who eat and drink too much. —(Boston Herald.)

'l‘vlol UFRESNE smiled in a superior way. “Yes, and so far as I can see they are likely to remain un- answered. The man is dead, his menace is ended. I am completely satisfied. All I ask now is that peace and quiet be restored to my home so that Mrs. Dufresne may recover from her shock and injury. I am sorry about the policeman, Hamill. If he leaves a family in need, I'll be glad to do what I can for them.” Harper stood up straight. “We have no latitude in such matters, Mr. Dufresne. The investigation must be carried out in the pre- scribed manner. Director Connors could order my removal from the case but the work would go on un- der other hands. I can assure you of that.” Dufresne looked at him, much an- |noyed, then nodded curtly and stalked out of the room. “Nasty little bantam when the game doesn’t go entirely his way,” Lafferty commented. “But we can change his tune quick enough. Next thing he'll be trying to buy us off.” “Bribery is not in his line but he’ll bring pressure to bear and he won't let any grass grow under his feet. He doesn’t know how much we've turned up, so he’ll use his in- fluence with Comnors to force our hands. We'll have to go to bat with closing the door quietly but firmly. They certainly have a cordial and unanimous dislike for us in this house, mused Harper, eyeing the closed door. I suppose the great Ulrich has been telling her what cos- sacks we are. Well, there is one thing certain at least—Mrs, Du- fresne didn’t run off with her hus- band’s revolver. But this thought| brought up its natural corollary— had Pierre Dufresne acted thus to| screen his wife? Andrews approached him as he reached the foot of the stairs. “You ! are wanted in the breakfast-room | sir. The gentlemen have arrived.” The detective thought there was | an undertone of malicious pleasure in the butler's announcement, but he said nothing. Harper entered the breakfast- room to find not only the redoubt- able James J. Connors, Director of Police, but also Captain Macklin, of the Homicide Bureau, the Sergeant’s immediate superior. Pierre Dufresne was there also and the three men were talking together in a very friendly manner. The detective saluted sharply and the salute was returned. (Copyright, 193}, by Walter C. Brown) Harper has trouble, tomorrow, ‘with the peacemakers. ALASKA SOUTHERN AIRWAYS FINISHES BIG MONTH’S WORK ‘With an average of more than eight and cne half flights a day, the seaplanes Chichagof and Bar- anof, of the Alaska Southern Air- ways completed what is almost a record for the month of May, ac- cording to information obtained from A. B. Hayes, manager of the company. ‘The two planes, operating out of here and out of Ketchikan, covered a distance of more than 23,000 miles hundred fifty six flights were made and four hundred forty five pas- sengers were carried by the planes. ‘While this is by no means a rec- ord month for the company, bus- iness was unusually heavy for so early in the season, Mr. Hayes said. The peak of the season is in July and August when the can- neries are all operating and have considerable charter work. — AUXILIARY GIVES $67 ‘The American Legion Auxillary of Cordova recently turned over $67 net from their Mother- Daughter banquet to the Girl New York Clothing Store BABY SHIRTS, each .....................25¢c BABY - CAPS: each. .. /v, i s v .25¢ BABY UNDERPANTS, each ..............25¢c CHILDREN'S ALL-WOOL SWEATERS .$1.00 GIRLS’ SILK VESTS, each ................35c GIRLS’ SILK BLOOMERS, each ..........50c LADIES’ HATS, each ...................51.00 LADIES’ SILK BLOOMERS, each ....... .50¢c LADIES’ SILK STOCKINGS, pair ........ .50c CURTAIN MATERIALS, yard ‘.......... .20c HUCK TOWELS, 2for .........ccovnents, .35¢ SHEETS, 81x90, each ...................$1.00 PILLOW CASES, each ....................35¢ PILLOWS, Good Grade, each ............$1.00 O R RO
