That the S. S. Arctic, cannery
ship now under charter to the Al
aska Railroad will not carry pass
engers because accommodations
are unsatisfactory, was the infor
mation received the other day
by G. E. Jennings, railroad agent
in Fairbanks.
Instead Col. O. F. Ohlson, man
ager of the railroad, is making
arrangements to charter a ship |
which will have more suitable
facilities for passengers.
It is hoped that arrangements j
can be made to have this ship
leave Seattle December 12 or 13.
If that can be done the chances
are that it will return to Seattle ’
about as soon as the Arctic
which will be delayed somewhat
on its voyage by reason of the
fact that at each port, consider- j
able cargo must be unloaded.

Tourist Travel
Nation’s Parks
Has Increased
(By Hie Associated Press 1
DENVER, Dec. 10, — Ameri
ca’s “tin can” tourists, greatly
glorified in shiny new cars, are
traveling western trails again in
record numbers.
Official figures prove the tourist
letdown years from 1930 to 19
34 are over, but westerners need
no figures to convince them.
Roads were comfortably crowd
ed last summer with cars of east
erners, northerners and southern
ers, seeking play and frost bite
among snow-capped peaks of the
Rockies.
The National Park Service
counted 9,929,432 noses, most of
them sunburned, as they entered
the 134 national parks and mon
uments of the nation. The pre
vious peak was 7,675,000 in 1935.
Boys Pigs Are
Sweet Smelling
At State Fair
(By The Associated Press)
TULSA, Okla., Dec. 10, —Oth
er pigs have distasteful attribut
es, but not those of Charlie
Thompson, 12, and Sidney Huss
ey, 13,—theirs smell ‘‘sweet as a
daisy.”
The two young future farmers
of America brought their hogs
from their homes near Sayre,
Oklahoma, for exhibit at the four
state fair here.
‘‘Our pigs are cleaner than a
hound’s tooth,” they declared.
“We know. We launder them
ourselves and they’re nicer to
sleep with than a lot of people
we know. Our lady pigs smell
sweet as a daisy.”
Asked about the odor that per
meaited the hog exhibit, the boys
replied:
“Oh, that’s these other pigs.”
