Closer Liaison
Necessary To
Combat War
SAN FRANCISCO, </P) — The
time has come for closer liaison
between those who shape the na
tional policy and those who furn
ish the sinews of war, James Boyd,
director of the U. S. bureau of
mines told the American Congress
yesterday.
In an address prepared for de
livery Boyd warned, “The critical
state of world affairs has added,
innumerable problems to govern
ment and the mining industry.”
“No longer can government ex
temporize or deal with these prob
lems in an academic fashion. They
are real. They are urgent,” he said.
- He told the mining men that the
American mineral supply is runn
ing far below the level necessary
to national safety.
Charles F. Willis, chairman of
the minerals advisory council’s
sub-committee on public lands,
submitted proposals for improving
the government’s land policy.
“It is rather a sad commentary
on our free enterprise system that
when a person discovers a deposit
which he can utilize or which, by
his own inventive genius, may be
converted into something import
ant and marketable he then had to
seek a lease from the government
and is even forced to bid for what
he had discovered,” he stated.

Mrs. Lulu Heron
“Too Old To
Carry On Work”
SEATTLE, (/P)—The weight of
the years has finally driven Mrs.
Lulu Heron from her beloved
Alaska and the Eskimos and
whites she served for 32 years
with the spirit of a Florence Night
ingale.
“It may sound silly and girlish
of me,” she told an interviewer to
day, “but I’ve always regarded my
work in Alaska as a grand adven
ture. But now I’m old and in poor
health. I’m afraid I may never go
back.” 1
The Eskimos’ name for her was I
Mahkaluk, meaning “Grandmoth
er,” she said. She went north as a
nurse with the Indian Service in
1916, and until this week had been
“Outside” only twice, in 1926 and
1931.
Her headquarters were at Beth
el, on the Kuskokwim, and she
covered a vast territory bounded
by the Yukon River, the Bering
Sea and Bristol Bay.
One of her vivid memories, she
said, was of an influenza epidemic
which sent a high percentage of
the Eskimo population to bed. She
was taken ill.
“The well Eskimos bundled me
on a sledge and off we went, from
village to village,” she-recalled. “I
never was able to get bff my back
the whole 4rip. From my bed I’d
give orders how to combat their
illness. It was an ordeal, but we
licked the epidemic.”
She is visiting Mrs. Robert
Wightman here before leaving for
California.
Five-year-old Sue was “helping”
her daddy at his work bench in
the basement. Finally he tired of
her incessant chatter and ques
tions, and he asked her to be quiet
for a little while.
“I don’t have to be quiet,” Sue
stated importantly, "I’m a worn

Wrecked Plane
Had No Fortune
EDMONTON, (JP)—C. L. Fallart,
hunter from Elkton, Ore., who
found a crashed United States air
force plane in the Canadian wilds,
Saturday said he saw no gold or
currency aboard the wrecked air
craft. He reported finding only the
bodies of the 11 crew members
and passengers.
“There was no gold or huge
sums of currency in the wreckage
of the plane,” Fallart said in a long
distance telephone conversation
from Fort Nelson, B. C. “We found
some money in the clothing of the
dead. If there was a fortune in
gold bullion and payroll currency
on the plane I never saw it”
He said stories of discovery of a
treasure-laden craft by him and his
Indian guide, George Bahne of Ft.
Nelson “were simply fantastic.”
Other members of the party said
yesterday that the reports they re
ceived of a gold and currency car
go on the plane came from Cana
dians at Fort Nelson, not from U.

Ketchikan
KETCHIKAN, MV-In Alaska’s
first international football game,
the Oak Bay, B. C., high school
Goblins defeated Ketchikan high
Friday night, 12-6.
The Vancouver Island team

paydirt.
In the fourth quarter he nabbed
a pass from Ken Higgs and went

the leather into the end zone on a
line plunge.

opponent after posting a $1,000
guarantee for any visiting team,
will go to Oak Bay in October for
a return game.

ON THE BALLOT in the October 12 election there will be a referendum on "the practice of fishing by means of traps
should be continued or.should be abolished." To abolish traps, we believe, would amount to confiscation and would
permanently injure the Territory of Alaska.

Here's Who Really Gets the Salmon Trap Profits!
' • t
The net profit which is made each year by the salmon industry is used for rein
vestments in plant improvements and betterments and the balance then is divided be
tween 215,202 stockholders. They are young people, old people, people from every
walk of life, including many Alaskans; people who have invested their savings in
American free enterprise.
