For 1940, the evént coimes earlier than for many years. Canned Salmon Week is sponsored jointly by the Pacific Canned Sal- man - Distributors Association and the Canned Salmon Industry. Or- iginally introduced as Canned Sal- mon Day by one of the transconti- nental railroads in appreciation of the canned salmon tonnage hauled by the railroad, theé event has de- veloped over a period of twenty | years iito an annual week long ob-| servance! | | According to the Salmon Industry office, many thousands of indirect employees in the task of getting salmon to’ the consumer—those en-! gaged in transportation, printing |and ‘other affiliated industries are | planhing to cooperate in publicizing | week. | Tt is expectéd that many display | windows of railroads, eommunica- tions companies, and other “part- |ner” industries will attract the | | ion of the copsuming public tc ‘A]aska salmon during this celebra- tion. | | Hundreds of thousands of house- wives will read about canned sal- mon in their newspapers during this period. The industry office points cut that interest of newspaper food jeditors in salmon is normally great |at this time, and during recent years numerous photographs and recipes ! for canned salmon have appeared in leading newspapers during this an- nual event, | In the State of Washington, this event is used by many organizations as an cpportunity to call the atten- tion of the public to the importanec> of Alaskan industry and tr to the cities of the Pacific Northwest. SIMPSONS RETURN FROM TWO MONTHS TRAVELING BELOW Dr. and Mrs. Robert Simpson re- | turned on the steamer Mount Me- | Kinley from two months of travel in the States, during which they visited the World Fair at New York and relatives in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. | Dr. Simpson said the East is busier than it has been at any time since 1929 and general business con- | ditions through the country are| lapparently” good, except in the| South where cotton has created a serious problem. Sidings .and warehouses were 16aded with old unsold cotton while a heavy crop of new cotton was ready to come in, the Simpsons re- ported. The Simpsons made their entire trip by train, finding rail fares so low that most people are going by‘ train. Biggest, thrill of the trip for the| Simpsons, after seeing America turn- | ing up the business grade and re-| ng in the. wonders of Ameri- can ingenuity at tho World War in New York was a salute to the flag at a football game with 65,000 other Americarns. | - !

These license officers and the tax collector are under rri- torial Treasurer Oscar G. Olson, who is charged with enforcement of the Weights and Measures Act enacted at the last session of the Legisla- ture. The weights and measures bill provides for inspection of weighing and measuring devices, and also sets penalties for the sale of underweight parcels. Cooperation Noted It was explained by Green that nothing in the act or in his direc- tion of its enforcement interferes in any manner with the operation of any municipal ordinances covering the same subject.

Eric, the son | of Lightning, who wanted the | doll, has been put to sleep for | a day and a night by the | fairies. Chapter Nine The Glass Man OR an hour that night Lee- | zen sat silently watching | stared motionless into the in the great hall that Leezen | could hear the soft swish of snow against the windows. She reached for a little gold box | on the table and opened it. There lay a flashing sapphire. She held it up_to the fire, and turned it in the light so that pink lights darted from it. * T wish Eric could see this,” she bt. Then thes:torl]e lf‘el(; Q;‘JEQT, n’ ms fingers. e looked s b as she did, it turned inth a Tittle man, only two inches high He oul seemed to be made of blue-white glass. He bowed. X “Why, who are you?” whis- pered Leezen: “I'm just a thought some one is thinking of you,” said the little man. “Usually I lie asleep in that sapphire. But when anyone picks me up I can reflect the thought of a friend.” “I see,” said Leezen. “But who is thinking of me?” “Look,” said the little man. He pulled out a tiny flute, no big- ger than a pin, and began to play, “Lee-zen, Lee-zen.” b “It's Eric,” said' Leezen with shining eyes. A Sad Tune The little glass man played on but he played so softly only Lee- zen heard. She whispered, “How is Eric?” Then the little man played a very sad tune. “Oh, dear,” sighed Leezen. “I must es- cape from here and find him.” She put the little man, back into the gold box and as she closed the lid over him he dis- appeared and only the round sap- phire lay there. Then she rose from her chair so cautiously the King didn't notice her. She ritory he had received the ver: hearty cooperation of all city offic- s, merchants and citizens gener- ally.

People opinion,” Green said, ice is being - appre- is my this se s where she !?;aoigf'd‘a wide staircase it by candles. So she tripped silently down them and came out on a court yard where there stood two. guardsmen dressed in armor with crimson plumes waving from their helmet. They leaned on their spears. Along the top of the court yard wall great flares of light burned. An iron gate opened onto the road. i Leezen hid behind a pillar to watch because she wanted to take one of the horses tied near the gate. Then she saw the guards- men walk over to stand under one of the flares, They bent to look at the hilt of a fine sword. Quick as a breeze Leezen slipped across the court yard. In a twinkling she was on a big white horse and he was gallop- ing out of the court yard, onto the drawbridge, and down the road. ‘Faster, Faster’ She leaned over to whisper to the horse, “Quick. To Toyland be- fore dawn for then I become like stone.” The horse pricked up ?\is ears and sped. The strong white horse ran and ran until his eyes were red But it was many, many miles to Toyland, and the woods grew deeper and more backed away from him and into the far shadows of the great hall WATCH FOR DATES in THE EMPIRE when the “TALKING SANTA CLAUS" will appear at the Capitol Theatre, /ggzj,ltd behind a pillar t© marok, 5, . lonesome, Y DeBECK I | BAWLS 0' F\RE W T MUST BEY TUMBLED I ouT'y TR BED-ST\D AN CRAWLED BRCK (N RGN s AN DEY the fishing industry were enthusiastic about the and, in fact, pressed the desire that the inspection be testing equipment, $500.

J. Blake and Mrs. L. J.| Helmquist | After the two had ridden through tall pine trees for three or four hours Leezen saw two bright spots by the side of the rode. It was the glowing eyes of | a young wolf that had just awaked and was stretching him- | self. Then she saw an old crow | on the branch of a pine tree take his head out from under his wing and yawn. He cackled after them, “Who are you, who are you?” “Qh, dear,” sighed Leezen. “it’s near dawn.” She leaned over the horse and whispered, “Faster, faster.” He pulled his muscles tauter. His steps became great leaps. But | try as he would he was still gal- loping through the woods when the sun sent out its first streak of pink. “Wait,” shouted Leezen. The horse pulled up short. She slipped to the ground and ran into the woods. At the foot of a great tree she stopped. She was only a lifeless doll that couldn’t see nor hear nor talk. The horse whin- nied with fright and galloped off. Leezen was alone and lost.
