Inland Farmerette
Says Good Tilings
About Homer
Mrs. Mabel Shotter, musician,
school teacher and farmerette of
Homer, has parked her cows and
chickens with neighbors and is
on her way to Seattle, where she
will remain throughout July and
August, her plans calling for re
turn to Homer in time to take up
her teaching in September, says
the Seward Gateway of July 18.
Mrs. Shotter lived in Seldovia
when she first came to Cock In
let, and there had built a two
story residence on waterfront
residential property. But she was
captivated by Homer, homestead
ed on 160 acres of land in the
noted farming belt and moved
over there, taking her posses
sions, including the house, with
her. The building was disman
tled in sections, loaded on a
scow and is now a picturesque
home place on her Homer farm
Mrs. Shotter sees in Homer and
the surrounding district oppor
tunities for livelihood and happy
haven for comfort to families op
pressed by outside depression
and from the way the country is
being populated it is evident that
others see it in the same light.
Roadwork is going on, she said,

REPUBLICAN
Divisional Candidates" Legislative
Platform.
GENERAL ELECTION, TUESDAY, SEPT. 8th, 1936.
We. the undersigned candidates for the Terri
torial Legislature pledge ourselves, if elected,
to support and work foT the following meas
ures:—
1. To improve present laws rather than enact new ones.
2. To give liberal support to the public schools.
3. To support liberal appropriations for roads, trails and shelter
cabins, and an equitable distribution of those appropriations
and oppose the present system of giving preference to locali
ties not primarily engaged in mining.
4. To work diligently for the revetment for the protection of the
City of Nome and for the construction of an adequate Coast
Guard Station in Nome fitted with modern aerial and sea
equipment.
5. To secure improvement of Rad,o communication in the Second
Division.
6. To work for the establishment and improvement of landing
fields on Yukon River points and all sections of Seward Pen- .

7. To support ample appropriations for Old Age and Mother’s Pen-1

islation to secure the extension of a workable social security
act to Alaska.
8. We strongly favor the return to the American system of elect- j
ing local School Boards to govern rural schools.
9. We are heartily in favor of a general 8-hour law.
10. We strongly disapprove the closing of Industrial Schools built:
for Eskimo children, and urge the immediate establishment in
the Second Division of a tubercular sanitarium in the proxim
ity of some large community for the treatment of the Eskimo
people.
11. We favor the establishment of Federal institutions in the Terri
,tory for delinquent Eskimo children.
12. We strongly oppose the appointment of any but bona fide Alas
kans to Federal positions in Alaska.
13. We believe that the present condition under which vast areas
of patented fining ground is not being worked, is detrimental
to the mining interests of the Territory.
14. To work for the enactment of legislation that will not only clari
fy the existing mining laws and obviate the present conflict of
opinion in the construction of their provisions, but also give to
the mine worker adequate protection against injury to his life
and health.
Our personal interests and future depend upon the continued j
prosperity of this part of Alaska, and if elected we will be respon-1
sible to the people of the Second Division for all of our actions as
members of the Alaska Legislature and will work together for
the best interests of Alaska and especially the Second Division.

DANGER AND THRILLS ARE
HEADED IN STARHEMBERC’S
PATROL AUSTRIAN POLITICS
(Continued From Page One)
while Starhemberg said a lot he
always was prepared to do a lot.
A typical Starhemberg spepch
was delivered in September, 1 f)33.
Chancellor Dollfuss and other
dignitaries had gathered at the
statue of Starhemberg’s renown
ed ancester, Count Ruedler von
Starhemberg, to celebrate the an
niversary of the count's defeat of
the Turks at the gates of Vienna.
Prince Starhemberg was expected
to say a few appropriate words.
Deeds Follow Outburst
But the pv.r.ce wa? in no mood
for sentimental platitudes. He
turned fiercely, on the ci incellor
and said:
“Look at our city hall. Filled
with bolshevists' Throw them
- ut, Mr. Chancellor! Some heads
should roll and my heimwehr is
ready to make a good job of it."
Dollfuss smiled and said noth
ing. At the moment the outburst
was regarded as “more Starhem
berg talk.’’ But within a few
months his heimwehr actually
did throw the socialist adminis
tration out of the city hall, and
artillery crushed socialism as an
open political force.
Starhemberg hates socialism,
scorns democracy, shouts defi
ance at Hitler — and doesn’t hes
itate to strike at these foes at ev
ery opportunity.
