Wild Animals Loose
In Arkansas Hills
Following Wreck
MT. IDA, Ark., Oct. 31—(«—Five
or six ferocious circus animals were
reported on the loose in a wooded
mountainous area near here today
after a circus truck overturned.
Mrs. Wilbur Tidwell, wife of the
Montgomery county sheriff, said
drivers of the truck told her two
tigers, two polar bears and one black
bear escaped in the wreck.
A lion from the same show killed
a nine-year-old girl last night.
The circus was moving to Mt. Ida
for a show tonight when one of its
trucks overturned 15 to 20 miles
northwest of Mt. Ida. The accident
occurred on a mountainside in a
sparsely settled area.
The little girl killed by the lion
at Mena last night was the grand
daughter of a woman animal
trainer.
The child apparently entered the
lion’s cage through an unlocked
door.

Cordova Wold Be a good location
for a pulp and paper mill, accord
ing to a statement by Congress
man Carl Elliott in a recent issue
of the Congressional Record.
The Congressman cited the great
quantity of timber in the vicinity
of Cordova and the mild climate and
average annual rainfall—approxi
mately 63 inches—of the area, which
he said would insure rapid growth
of plup timber.
In addition, he pointed to mil
lions of tons of high-grade coal
nearby to meet any sustained fuel
requirements.
Unfortunately, from our point of
view, Congressman Elliott was not
speaking of Cordova, Alaska, but
Cordova, Alabama.
His statement calls to mind, how
ever, that the late Capt. A. E. Lath
rop and several other Alaskans some
30 years ago formed a corporation
for the purpose of building a pulp
mill at Cordova, Alaska.
November Fourth, which this year
falls on a Sunday, will mark the
67th anniversary of the organiza
tion of the first United States Dis
trict Court in Alaska.
Ward McAllister, Jr., of Califor
nia, appointed by President Chester
A. Arthur on July 5, 1884, was the
first judge for the District of Al
aska, and M. C. Hillyer, also of
Calilornia, was its first U. S. Mar
shal.
Many years afterward, William G.
Thomas, long the U. S. Commis
sioner at Wrangell, related an am
using incident about Alaska's first
term of court, which was held at
Sitka. Thomas was then a deputy
Marshal and he acted as bailiff of
the lirst grand jury convened by
Judge McAllister.
Foreman of the grand jury was
Duncan McKinnon of Wjangell,
who took his job seriously and stud
ied the Oregon Code, under which
Alaska was then operating.
The Grand Jury indicted quite
a number of white men and Indian
women who were living together
illicitly and these people were hail
ed before Judge McAllister. The
judge, being a practical mail as
well as a broadminded jurist, gave
them an opportunity to marry and
thereby avoid prosecution.
After several of these cases had
been dismissed via the marriage
route, Foreman McKinnon discov
ered in the Oregon Code a provis
ion forbidding the marriage of
white with “colored" persons. With
out consulting the U. S. Attorney
or the Court, he brought the mat
ter before the grand jury, which
indicted the judge lor being a party
{0 the crime of aiding white and
I “colored” persons to marry.
The indictment was read in court,
to the amazement of the judge,
the prosecutor and the spectators.
It was a situation perhaps unpre- f
cedented in the history of American
jurisprudence.
Judge McAllister pondered the
matter for some minutes. It no doubt
occurred to him that there wasn’t
another United States Court with
in a thousand miles or such a mat
ter and he finally turned to Fore
man McKinnon and said: "Yes,
but who in hell is going to try the
case?”
McKinnon and the other grand
jurors retired in so^e confusion.
The U. S. Attorney explained to
them that the word “colored” did
not refer to Indians. They recon
sidered and killed the indictment.
Soon after the close of that first
Alaska court term, Judge McAllister
left Sitka for Washington, D. C.,
and he never returned to Alaska to!
hold another term.
Federal Employees were recently
granted pay raises by Congress and :
the raises apparently apply to Fed- j
eral employees in Alaska as well as !
in the states. As. nearly as can now
be determined, the employees in
Alaska will also be entitled to the
25 percent differential on the raises.
These raises for employees In the
states amount to 10 percent of pre
sent salaries, with a minimum in
crease of $3U0 a year and a maxi
mum of $800, except for postal
workers whose minimum raise will
be $400. The pay raises are retro
active to last July 1.
There is one sad joker in these
pay raises, however, and it has to
do with the new income tax rates
enacted by the same Congress.
Congress stalled along on the pay
raise until the closing days of its
session and the bill was not signed
by President Truman until October
24. This means that many govern
ment workers will not receive the
retroactive part of their pay until
after November 1.
And November I is when the new
federal income tax rates go into
effect. According to a news dispatch
from Washington, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has ruled that
payments made after November 1
will be subject to the higher tax
rate, even when those payments
are partly for the period from July
1 to November 1.
And federal employees in Alaska
are doubly unfortunate. Their Al
aska income taxes are based en
tirely upon the amount of income
tax they pay back to Uncle Sam,
without regard to the retroactive
status ol the earnings.
Travel Is Vocation
0! David Barclay
In Juneau for an indefinite time
is David Barclay, 38, artist and
writer, who says he came to Alaska
"hoping to find paradise.” He came
here after first covering all of the
48 states as well as much of Can
ada and Mexico.
During 20 years of travels, Bar
clay has covered a distance equiv
alent to ten times around the world,
he estimated, and has visited 20
national parks and 50 national
monuments.
He is recovering now from a bad
fall experienced in Ketchikan and
a month in the Ketchikan hospital
where his broken left arm was
treated. He feels fortunate, how
ever, that it is his left arm that is
in a cast, that he still has a good
right hand for his writing and
sketching.
Barclay, who was born in Corn
cord, N. H., moved to Brooklyn at
an early age. His first formal art
training was in 1943 at the Kansas
City Art Institute. Portrait sketch
ing and silhouette cutting have fin- ;
anced numerous trips across the
continent.
His plan in coming to Alaska, he
says, was to gather material for
a series of magazine and newspaper
articles. He says he hopes to find
sufficient material for a novel he
has temporarily titled ‘‘The Rqugh
Road to Paradise.”
Fate magazine published a travel
experience of Barclay’s in its Sep
tember issue.
Barclay, who says his broken arm
will probably keep him in Juneau
until Christmas, is staying at the
Gastineau Hotel.
