Construction work-on the

favorable weather, after six and
three fourths miles °f road had
been completed during the pres
ent season. There only remains a

plete. This seasons operations sa
ys the Kusko Times of Takotma
were of a record character for \vh
ieh much credit is due Carl Lott

pleteing the work this fall, and in
which he was ably seconded by
Matt Vaughn, well known constr
uction foreman. The work thbsye

$150,000 IS RUTH’S
IDEA SAYS REPORT
New York, Babe Ruth may or m
ay not make a demand for $150,000
a year as his salary for cavorting
about in right field for the New
York Yankees in the future, but
if he does, the demand is already
refused.
'’He won’t get it,” Col. Jae.
Rupert, one of the owners of the
club, said when asked if the Bun
bino had asked for such a sum.
‘The Babe has said nothing to me
about next year’s contract an l it
is preposterous for anyone to say
that he is demanding $150,000. I
won’t decide until February what
sort of aeon tract I’ll offer him.
The home run king’s agree
ment with the Yankees ended wh
en he slid into second base in an
unsuccessful attempt to steal th
at bag in the final game of the Wo
rlu Series. It called for a yearly
salary of $52,000 and iiad run for
three years.
“Didn’t know it was loaded
isn’t an excuse for shooting off
the mouth.
NEAR EAST RELIEF
McCarthy Weekly News,
McCarthy, Alaska.
Dear Sir:
May I express to you, and
through your columns to your re
aders, my personal appreciation
and that of our Executive Comm
ittee for the courtesies shown Mr
Sell wood on his recent visit. He
has written us most gratefully of
your generous aid.
For seven years l have
visited the Near East annually.
One year I would see a g; eat mob
of naked, rat-1 ike. verminous orea
cures cowering in fright. The ne
xtyear I would find in their place
a regiment of healthy,happy, care
free boys and girls, and a few ye
ars later would find that they had
gone out from the orphanage to
become self-supporting citizens
instead of haters of their kind as
they would have been had we not
taken them in. This thing occur*
ed year after year. I have longed
every trip for the presence of the
people back home who, like you
and your associates, have backed
^this work; dut the reward for this
service will come to our children
| and to their children as those we
| have saved fiom Ueatn go out to
! bless the Near East with that pas
: isonate attachment for America
■ which will do much for the fui—
j are peace of the world.
These experiences and
many others drive me and my as
sociates to put forth our best eft
arts every day lest we fail these
children who have such confiden
ce that America which has saved
them from death will stay by th
em until they can care for them
selves. It is no easy task on which
we are working and when reports
come from our field men of how
their morale has been strengthen
ned by such aid as you and oth.
ers gave Mr. Sellwood in Alaska, I
feel that I must express my own
appreciation and thatof our Com
mittee to whom I gave a report of
our Alaska campaign at our rec
ent annual meeting.
With deep appreciation, lam,
Gratefull yours,
C. V. Vickrey.
