R. Walker. There are a few of us fishermen who are not so ignorant that anyone can pull fish scales over our eyes. I've never been a very sfrong supporfer for Walker. | have not approved of many things he has done, but | be- lieve him fo be an able legis- lator. 've talked with other fishermen who feel the same way. Mr. Walker has pos- sibly done more for the Terri- fory’s good as a whole than any one person in the legisla- make him appear a four- fure for the past 10 years in flusher. spite of what the Cheechako editor and his boss said. They may, in the future, be looking . for new pastures, but Mr. Walker will probably remain. What- ever differences we have with Walker is one that we do nof need the help of outsiders fo seftle. Walker apparently was a fine man unfil he had a row with the Gruening crowd. From fimt time on they have fried fo kill him politically. The Governor and his Cheechako mouthpiece used shining bait but Doc didn't rise to the lure. Then they muddied the waters and have fried to twist Walk- er's acts in the legislature to 6 TO 8 CUP CAPACITY www CORY AUTOMATIC Now — brewing delicious coffee is just as simple as plugging in an electric cord!
