ALASKA INTERESTS AT

Washington, D. C,
September 19, 1932.
The chain stores in Washing
ton are selling pound cans of
Alaska salmon at the follow
ing prices: Argo red, 15#.;
pinks, 2 for 19#.; chums, 3 for
26#.
Refering to the recent mys
terious disappearance of Col.
Raymond Robbins, the news
papers say that “he was in the
Klondyke rush in Alaska in 18
98 and acquired a fortune.”
Even at this late date it is
hard for the writers to under
stand that the Klondyke and
Dawson are in Canada and
across the boundary line from
Alaska.
The United States Geograph
ic Board has named a newly
discovered creek in the Koyu
kuk region of northern Alaska,
“Holmes Creek,” after former
associate Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The
creek was discovered by a
member of the Geological
Survey on March 8, 1931, the
89th birthday anniversary of
Justice Holmes.

der, made necessary the ap
pointment of an acting post
master and the patrons of the
office were almost unanimous
in recommending the widow,
Loretta C. Hill, who has been
assistant postmaster. Delegate
Wickersham secured the ap
pointment of Mrs. Hill and was
given assurance by the post
master general that when Con
gress convened her name will
be sent to the senate for con
firmation as permanent post
master, as this is a president
ial office and confirmation by
the senate is required.
In the effort to gain favor
able action for Alaska river
and harbor projects in connect
ion with the Emergtncy Relief
Act of 1982, Delegate Wicker
sham’s office has had the as
sistance of Major Malcolm Ell
iot, former president of the
Alaska Road Commission and
also district engineer for Alas
ka of the United States Engin
eers Office. But.unfortunately
for the Territory, the Act pro
vides that these millions are for
the prosecution only of river
and harbor projects “hereto
fore authorized,” and while
there are a number of Alaska
projects that have been favor
ably recommended by the
Board of Engineers, they have
not been authorized by Con
giess and consequently cannot
participate in the emergency
fund.
An article on the conservat
ion of wild life by Paul G. Red
ington, chief of the Biological
Survey, says: “The United
States, including the Territory
of Alaska, has been producing
approximate 1 y $65,000,000
worth of raw furs annually for
several years. This production
is greater than Canada’s annu
al $18,000,000 catch and Sov
iet Russia’s $35,000,000 catch
combined.

The Last Card
By DUFORD JENNE

(WNU Service)
MAISIE was certain she recog
nized him the moment she saw
him, quietly studying the crowd that
poured into the doors of the great
city station.
She felt, for a moment, ns if all
hope had gone. She had brought her
father safely through the net that
was closing nround him, only at the
last to have escape seem Impossible.
"Almost free, dad,” she said cheer
fully, patting his hand.
*‘I know, honey, hut I feel as if 1
ought to return and—take what
comes.”
"Return? Never! There’s Just one
thing to do, and we are going to do
it! You know that Steinert group
wrecked your bank, and that if they
get their hands on you, you will be
the one to suffer. You are not guilty,
father, but you know they have you
cornered In technicalities so that you
will have to suffer. If we can get
away, they will have to make good
the bank’s losses, and then in a year
or two we can bring out the truth,
perhaps. To return is to play into
their hands.”
Again she comforted him ns she
had many times since the dark hour
when his supposed friends had
wrecked the bank to which he had
given a lifetime of devoted care.
"Now, look, father. 1 want you to
go on to New York alone—”
"Rut—”
nease. i am your guarumn now.
Go to the hotel we picked out. I’ll
join you tomorrow, and we'll sail the
next day.”
“I’ll go,” he said simply, with the
quiet assent of one who has ceased
to plan for himself.
“And now, Mr. Detective, here Is
where I play my last card with you,"
she said to herself. “I know you were
sent here to catch us. I saw you
with those lawyers.”
.She went swiftly toward the tall
form she had seen. As she drew near
he turned gray eyes upon her that
widened with sudden Interest.
“So it does pay to be beautiful,”
she thought with mixed feelings. “I
shull make him forget his business
if it can be done.”
“Can you tell me if the 7:15 west
has pulled out?” she asked anxiously.
“I am sorry, but they Just closed
the gates,” he said with Interest.
“1 wonder what the next train will
be?” she asked.
“I don’t know,” he answered read
ily. “But we can find out.”
With a glow of triumph she fol
lowed him to the information win
dow, where they learned that the
next train was at eleven o’clock.
At her cry of dismay, he spoke
quickly. “You’re out of luck, and so
am I. I’ve got to meet every train
from the east until midnight. And
I’m ns hungry as the traditional
bear. What do you say we hustle
over and punish the viands?” he said
smiling.
“I am with you!” she answered
heartily, almost ready to do a little
dance at the success of her scheme.
They settled themselves comfort
ably at a secluded table, and he or
dered a small feast with skill and
anticipation.
She had been able to get a mere
glimpse of him at the conference In
her father’s home, and she knew he
had not seen her. Her Intention to
flirt with him died soon. His gray,
fine eyes, clean-cut manly face in
some way or other made It impossi
ble for her to try such tactics.
The repast appeared, nnd as they
disposed of It they chatted. She kept
her eye on the clock, and saw the
hands creep around the minutes to
the moment when the express would
hear her father away to the safety
of a mighty city where one could
lose himself as If In an unpeopled
solitude.
He leaned back. “Hang it, I wish
1 knew where a certain chap Is—”
“Do you?” she said mildly.
“You bet,” he answered. “I’m a
cub lawyer In the office of Mixer &
Browne. A bunch of high flyers In
finance wrecked a bank up country.
President is a fine chap, and they
got him in a bad fix, no fault of his,
where they could jail him and grab
his bank. He trusted ’em too much.

Fairbanks Igloo, Pioneers of

Uest tiling about it is, one or mem
got sore at the rest, gave out the
whole story, and Mixer telephoned
me to rush down to the station and
see If I could catch Harms, the pres
ident, who had tried to get away.
Don't blame hint a bit. Best thing he
could have done. They traced him
to the four o’clock train . , . why,
what Is the matter? Don’t you—"
“You mean the truth has come out!
That—that—you mean President
Harms will not be prosecuted?” she
* gasped.
He stared af her. ‘‘Sure! One of
the gang—but what It is—”
“He Is my father,” she said broken
ly—and then told him the whole
| story.
As she finished, he leaned over and
patted her hand. “This Is a queer
situation, but you plnyed your last
card in great shape. Miss Harms—
) and to be honest, I’m glad you did.”
His gray eyes were smiling and gen
tle. "Now, I suggest we send a tele

better tonight, you know, and we’ll
go to the best show In town. What
do you say?”
Thrilling with the sudden change
of the dark clouds to silver, she tried
to speak but failed, so she nodded;
and he seemed to find the nod very
satisfactory.
