ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITA
By Will. A. Steel
Washington, D. C,
November 10, 1932.
Postmaster William Arthurs,
of Nome, has wired the depart
ment his resignation, because
of intended removal to Fair
banks, where he is interested
in an airplane company.
Mrs. Nellie Berry, recently
reappointed postmistress at
Haines, is in some financial
difficulty with the Department
and Vera A. Midkiff has been
installed as acting postmaster
A blue bear, the fourth ever
in captivity, was received at
the National Zooologival Park
in Washington, D. C. This one
is a cub, about six months old,
captured by p trapper on the
.-lopes of Mount McKinley, and
was secured for the Zoo by the
Alaska Game Commission.
The bear is said to be one of
the rarest of North American
mammals, living only on the
mountain glaciers of the Mc
Kinley National Park, never
coming out, and successfully
eluding hunters. It is a close
relative of the black bear but
is larger and, in its native hab
itat, actually blue in colov.
This is probably a color change
brought about by nature to

adapt the bear to the blue
background of the mountain
j ice which has become heredit
ary. Against the ice, the bears
are almost invisible, which is
one reason for their security
from hunters.
The House Committee on Ap
propriations will in a few days
start consideration of the bud
get estimates for the various
supply bills of the govern
ment. The Interior depart
ment bill, in which Alaskans
have a particular interest, will
be considered starting Nov. 16.
In view of the general de
mand for economy it is under
stood that the allowance made
for this department is fairly
satisfactory. However, just
what the various sums are will
not be made known until the
budget is presented to Cong
ress by the president. Until iliac
time the various committee
hearings will be of a secret
character. Governor Parks
will likely be the first to ap
pear before the committee hav
ing hearings on Alaska items,
and he is expected to stress the
importance of a more liberal
appropriation than the $494,
000 allowed for the present
year to the Alaska Road Com
mission.
The new Democratic admin
istration, through the Interior
department, will have control
of the Alaska Road Commiss
ion after March 4, and it is ex
pected that their appropriat
ions committee will deal more
generously with Alaska’s needs
than did the House committee
last spring, when but $354,000
was allowed for the Commiss
ion, but was raised $140,000 by
the Senate committee.

Dandelion Jim

IT WAS a decided shock for Cor
* uella Meade when she arrived at
the little red prairie station where
site had expected her uncle or one
of the family to meet her, to find a
perfectly strange young uinn In cow
boy clothing and a broad lint in his
hand, bowing before her.
“Miss Meade?” he asked pleasantly,
and when she bowed he added, “Mr.
Fisher was very sorry that he could
not come himself but his bad knee
has bothered him today and he
thought it best to keep it very quiet.
Excuse me, please, but I must see to
your bnggage—if you will give me
your checks—thank you.”
“Who does he remind me of?" asked
Cornelia, and, finding no answer,
flushed a little at her odd Interest in i
this cowboy attached to her uncle’s
ranch. Cornelia Meade rather prided
herself on tier aloof attitude toward
young men—she was simply indiffer
ent to everyone of them. Sometimes j
her thoughts did steal away from her
stern keeping and she would remem
ber oue summer when they stayed at j
a farm and she had met a boy—a j
farmer's lad several years older than |
herself, who had been the most charm- ,
lug playmate a small girl could have.
There were other children but none
of them had the charm that young
“Dandelion dim,” as they called him,
possessed. Cornelia had never seen i
him or heard of him again.
Keady, Miss Meade?” asked tlie
young man’s cheery voice, and she
turned to find a large motor car In
the back of which were her trunks.
He knew how to drive and it was
only a half hour's stiff ride, fleeing
like the wind itself, with no fear of j
traffic officer, before they entered the
wide gates of a comfortable ranch I
house, with Uncle Paul and Aunt \
Kathie waving from the broad ver- i
anda. She was warmly greeted and
then they explained that both the chll- 1
dren happened to be away from home
for a few days.
“They did not expect you quite so
soon, dear, and they will be so dis- I
appointed,” said Aunt Kathie, “but
they will be home at once. As soon
as we received your telegram, I tele
phoned to Kathie and she will be here
tills evening. Dick and a friend will
arrive on the morning train. Paul,
did you Introduce Jim to Cornelia?—
Jim," she called to Cornelia's driver.
“Yes, Mrs. Fisher.” he said smiling,
and Aunt Kathie said, “Cornelia, this
is one of our best friends. Jimmy
Lyon, foreman of the Bar-B ranch!" ,
As Cornelia dressed after her cold
bath a week later she thought of the
week at the rnncli, and her thorough
enjoyment of all the sports of that
outdoor land. She had written her
mother that she would forego the trip
to Europe this year that her sister !
and parents were taking, if she might
only remain out here with her uncle
and aunt.
They were a merry crowd with Dick
and Kathie home and Dick’s class
mate, Jack Hart. There was to be
a dance that evening at a nearby
ranch, and they were all going, even
Jim Lyon confessed that he hnd con
sidered it. To tell the truth, this an
nouncement made Cornelia very hap
py, for she was growing to like Jim
I.yon more than she would have cared
to confess. Little by little she had
extracted information from the family
—Jim Lyon was really from the East
•—and he was like one of the family,
this extremely good-looking young
man, whom nil the cowboys called
“Dandy,” and whom Cornelia had
found looking at her from wistful blue
eyes when he thought she was not
glancing in his direction.
When they came home together aft
er the dance, Mr. Fisher winked at Ills
wife and murmured: “Wonder what
Cornelia’s mother would think if the
girl married our ranch foreman?”
Aunt Kathie laughed comfortably.
“If she knew what we know, Paul,
she Wouldn’t say n word—how could
she? Here’s Jim—as rich and well
educated ns any of them, working for |
us summers because he likes the life—
I suppose, though, If he should marry
Cornelia, if she would have him, I
mean, he would not come back here

ALASKA NOTES

Of the Territory.
I _
Burglars recently entered the
Loussac Drug Store and the I.
Bayles clothing store in An
chorage and looted the cash
registers. The loss was not
made public and is supposed to
be small.
Taxes amounting to $27,000
were collected at Fairbanks in
October. The tax rate this
year was 1.75 per cent, as com
pared with 2 last year. More
persons paid their taxes
promptly this year than ever
before.
William St. Louis, pictur
esque French Canadian and a
long-time resident of the north,
lost his life in a fire which de
stioyed his Nine-mile road
house on the Richardson high
way a few days ago. Only a
few of his bones were recov
ered.
One of the mines being ope
rated most effectively during
recent months has been the
Gold Standard at Helm Bay.
The leasees, Karl Helm, Is
aac Johnson, Anton Wilson,
and John Folzwarzy, have
been bringing to Ketchikan
monthly shipments valued at
an average of $1,500 each.
The mine is owned by Dr. G.
E. Dickinson' and ’ Richard
Nuckoll.
Peter Smith, Fairbanks wood
dealer, gave early risers of the
camp a thrill the other day
when he rushed out of the door
of his blazing cabin with the
tail of his flannel night dress
on fire. He raced at a speed
that rivaled the best Olympic
record to a neighbor’s house,
where the flames that threat
ened him were quenched. He
did not know his cabin was on
fire until the burning bed
clothes singed him. The cabin
and contents, including $95 in
cash, were destroyed.
“l’eyhaps tney would ootn come
back,” said her husband sagely.
And the very next day It happened.
Cornelia and Jim, riding toward Sweet
Springs, dismounted there and rested
in the shady spot.
“Please tell me your whole name,
Jim," said Cornelia suddenly.
Jim I.yon looked at her with eager
blue eyes. “My name Is Daniel Don
ald Lyon, named for two uncles—my
nickname has always been Dan D.
Lyon!”
“I wish it was Dandelion Jim,"
smiled Cornelia.
“Why? Why? Who told you thnt
It used to be that out on Samuils’ farm
in New Hampshire. And you are the
little Cornflower girl—remember? I
used to call you that?”
“1 remember—I remember—”
“And do you remember the old yel
low horse with the white nose—”
“Old Sorrel? And how I tried to
ride him and slipped off of his droop
ing back? And you caught me—and
saved me!” Cornelia’s eyes were shin
ing with happy tears.
“And you wore a little blue gingham
dress—like an apron!"
"You remember that?”
“I remember everything—down all
the years—” and then Cornelia was la
Dandelion Jim’s arms.
