Nanuk Be Film Ship
In North Country
-x
Charter of the -famous fur
trading schooner Nanuk, veteran
of thirty-eight cruises to the
polar seas, by Metro-Goldwin
Mayer, motion picture producers,
for use in making a motion pic
ture version of the novel “The
Eskimo,” in Alaska, is expected
to be closed in Seattle this week.
Negotiations between the
Swenson Fur Trading Company,
owner of the Nanuk, and Frank
Messenger, representing Metro
! Goldwyn-Mayer, virtually had
been successfully concluded re
cently.
Peter Freuchens, Danish au -
thor, who wrote the book, “The
Eskimo,” was in Seattle recently
in connection with the expedi
tion to the Arctic, where the
'story will be filmed.
A motion picture company of
twenty-seven persons, including
j Johnny Weissmuller, famous
I swimmer, who was the star of
“Tarzan, the Ape Man,” will sail
from Seattle in July or August in
the Nanuk. The vessel is now in
the plant of the Lake Union
Dock & Machine Works. She will
be outfitted in Seattle for the
cruise to the Arctic.
Of all the Siberian fur trading
vessels the Nanuk probably is
the most famous. The vessel has
been making cruises far to the
westward in the Arctic and
bringing back tales of adventure
in the ice floes and of wily Rus -
sians bent of seizing the schoon
er, her valuable cargo of furs
and her crew. The Nanuk often
was a mercy ship in the distant
reaches of the Arctic, where she
gave of her provisions to trap
pers and traders marooned in
the great snow country.
Marion Swenson, former Seat
tle high school girl, made a
cruise in the Nanuk to Siberia
in 1929, and was taken off by
airplane after the vessel had be—
come hopelessly marooned in
the Arctic ice. Miss Swenson was
accompanied by her father, Olaf
Swenson, president of the Swen
son Fur Trading Company.

and operating departments of
the American Mail Line, the
Dollar Steamship Line and the
Pacific Steamship Company in
the various Pacific Coast ports
will be effected soon, it was an
nounced in San Francisco by R
Stanley Dollar, executive head
cf the companies. The consoli
dation, he said, was to be made
tis a matter of economy.

president of the American Mail
Line and vice president of the
Pacific Steamship Company, will
have jurisdiction over the con
solidated departments and of
fices in Washington, Oregon,
British Columbia and Alaska.
For a number of years, Mr.
Haines has confined his activi
ties to the Oriental trade, but
formerly was active in coast
wise steamship operations. Now
he will have charge of the
coastwise and Oriental opera
tions of the Pacific Steamship
Company and the American
Mail Line, which are controlled
by the Dollar interests of San
Francisco.

“TRUE SOURDOUGH FRIENDS”
(By James R. Little
I’ve lived in days* of long ago,
So busy and so fair,
I struggled with my ups and downs
And no one seemed to care.
But when my night of sorrow came,
And grief had laid me low,
They turned their loving hearts to me
The dear old Sourdough!

Marshals Named As
Alaska Air Officers
-x
After a negeral survey of avia
tion conditions in Alaska and
arranging for the local enforce
ment of the aeronautical regu
lations of the Department of
Commerce, Edison E. Moutton,
Federal supervisor of the Pacific
Coast area, completed an annual
personal inspection of personnel
and equipment in western
Alaska.
Air travelers in Alaska are to
be given the fullest measure of
protection that it is possible for
the Department of Commerce to
provide for them.
To that end, Deputy U. S. Mar
shal Harry I. Staser has been ap- !
pointed by Mr. Moutton to act j
as special inspector for the An
chorage district. United States
Marshal Charles D. Jones cf
Nome will represent the Depart
ment of Commerce in that sec
tion. Deputy U. S. Marshal Fred
Parker is the authorized repre
sentative at Fairbanks.
When air regulations are not
compiled with, the penalty will j
be immediate grounding of of-1
fenders. Though the Department
of Justice inspectors henceforth |
have the power to ground ships |
and pilots, they are not vested
with authority to remove the
ban from penalized fliers. They
will remain grounded until an
ensuing visit of a Department of,
Commerce inspector.—Gateway.'

FAMOUS NOVEL
ADAPTED TO SCREEN
-X
One of Basil Woon’s most
successful novels, “Misdeal/’
adapted to the screen by Charles
Kenyon, is the Warner Brothers
and Vitaphone picture which is
playing at the Coliseum Theatre,
Tuesday and Wednesday, unde*’
the title of “Recaptured Love.”
The story deals with a business
man who sacrifices his wife and
son for a chorus girl. Through a
series of highly amusing events
he is finally brought to his
senses and realizes his mistake,
but not before, smart as he
thinks he is, he has been made
to jump through the hoops.
The splendid cast, headed by
Belle Bennett, includes John
Halliday, Dorothy Burgess, Jun
ior Durkin, George Bickel and
Brooks Benedict.
SWARMS OF OFFICERS
-x
From Seward Gateway
In re-reading that immortal
document, the Declaration of
Independence, which recites the
grievances which impelled the
American colonies to rise and
tnrow off the British yoke, we
were struck by a paragraph
which appealed to us with a new
significance. Referring to King
George III, it declared:
“He has erected a multitude of
new offices • and sent hither
swarms of officers to harass our
people and eat out our sub
stance.”
It appears that “swarms of of
ficers” were distasteful to the
sturdy forefathers. What would
they say to the army of office
holders who “harass our people
and eat our substance” today?
Every session of Congress and
every session of th estate legis
lature enacts laws creating new
offices. Seldom is an office once
established ever abolished, ex
cept to create a different and
more expensive office or offices
in its place. Office-holders’ sal
aries are often raised, but never
lowered.
Some day, possibly, a majority
of the voters will rebel, as did
the early fathers, and by their
ballots, instead of bullets, call a
halt on those legislators whose
chief aim appears to be the in
crease of public payrolls.—

EDUCATING THE YOUTH
-X
We built up in America a great
system of education and we have
provided that every child must
receive its share of schooling.
We have been at work for more
than a century building up this
system, but in our building we
have overlooked one vital factor.
We have stressed too much the
purely academic in our instruc
tion, we have been prone to ac
cept education of the mind alone
as the ideal. Today we are real
izing our mistake for we find
that we are turning out 90 per
cent of our youth equipped only
for the so-called white collar oc
cupations , which can provide
places for only 10 pe rcent of
an AIRPLANE VIEW OF MOUNT VERNON
r f SB
them. While our young men and
women leave our schools to
crowd into the sky-scraping of
fice buildings which line the
street canyons of our great ci
ties, our industries are clamor
ing for workers. They need men
and women trained not in mind
aione, but in head and heart and
hand. We cannot continue to
keep America in the vanguard of
civilization if we we permit the
American people to become ex
haustivel blamen eoat hrdils eta
ciusively a “white collar” peo
ple.—Senator James J. Davis, of
Pennsylvania.
ALSO IT’S POWER TO CREATE
From The Seattle Star
“The power to tax,” it’s often
said, “is the power to destroy.”
True; and it also is the power
to CREATE. Don’t forget that.
Just taxation, placed on the
shoulders able to bear it, is a
creator of wealth—and public
confidence.
It is more important to create
confidence in the minds of fifty
million run-of-the-mine Ameri
cans than it is to assure a hun
dred millionaires thatr thei
hoardings are safe.
You hear wails that the high
taxation rates recently imposed
by Congress on swollen fortunes
are confiscatory”. Wealthy men
are calling representatives Com
munistic.
Of course, when you hit a
wealthy man in his pocketbook,
he yelps. He is just being made
oO give back, to all the people,
some of the money he took away
from them.
Nearly everyone, nowadays,
believes things would he better
if wealth were spread out more
evenly. There is only one way
to do this: Take it away from
those who have too muhc and
spread it around among those
v/ho have not enough.
That may sound “communist
ic” or “radical” and anything
you choose. But it is the way
this nation is going about doing
it—and that’s'that!
