E Jitor of the Kusko Timesr
It would seem near 2 tragedy if
this community should lose such, a
er table and efficient man a? Mr. Ed
Adams, foreman of the Aia-ka Road
C mmission in this district. He has
proven Mm self to be very efficient
for the past five years.
Mr. Adams is without a doubt the
rrcst loyal, and capable man that
tas-invaded tftese parts for many
years. Shall we stand by and let a
few' Tudas's. pos;ng as old-timers,
er’itrfy such a man when we our
selves know that every statement
r de by them is false.
Vtn wov’d have to look a long
wrv to find a man to replace Mr.
A "’-ms.
The Road C'-rnmission equipment
v'd the best possible care, al
.ready to perform a full day’s
work.
The road has been improved be
y n'T expectations. This is so stated
bv those who know. And this result
h.is come about despite insufficient
f'-”T!rent It s well known that
lrr A^rms ha= Ven working under
v">;Foar at aE times.
W - wr» = ?t so -urprised to learn
* '*• A' rs has only been paid
’ trc* *r r.r working season the
' —e as --h r- employes, which does
rr-rr. rrhs out of the
veer. Ther° are many less worthy
n En than Mr. Aiart= on salary the
year abound. We wonder what is
wrong?
Mr. and Mrs. A^ams take care of
a’! A'f'ks Road Commission prem
ises during the winter months. And
we must say it is d ne iit a most ef
rrsat manner.
And we wish to say in this con
nection, that the ARC premises and
e< tipmetrt have had the best possible
care. No one could possibly exce1!.
Those who would condemn Mr.
A. iam3 are either alien or worse.
The Tow. complaining type are al
ter y* complaining about the Presi
dent. Congress, or the way things
are being done in general.
Would to Goc. we could replace the
former class with such honest, hon
orable, sraight forward, upright, ca
pable men as Mr. Ed Adams.
We real.re that a mar in public
must siwtys be subject to ridi
cule a'd criticism. Mr. Adams goes
about Ms work in a manly way and
attends strictly to his own business,
■*rd always has a friendly “hello”
for those who accuse him wrong.
Fortunately Mr. Adams has had 12
years of experience with the ARC,
a~d aiwavs in a responsible position.
The ARC has had no reason to doubt
fits capabilities.
Mr. Adams has many friends am
ong the best citizens of this comrmi
nhy.
We insist on the continuance of
Mr. Adams in his present capacity.
Ed. you are too big to listen to
such rot.
Don't fail us now.
TWO “REAIT SOURDOUGHS
“Hum, said the doctor. “Nothing
much to worry about. You’re run
vm—nervous debility. Get away
fer a week or two in the country,
take plenty of long walks in the
open air, youH find yourself a new
man.”
The patient heaved a sigh.
“And.” continued the doctor, “only
one pipe a day.”
“But doc ter ...” began the pa
tient.
“No huts/’ said the doctor, “and
one pipe a day.”
Six weeks later the patient called
upon the- doctor." “How do you feel
now?” be was asked. “Fit as a fid
dle, but the pipe a day annoyed me,”
replied the man. “It’s no joke for
a man to take up sir." king at mv
time of life.”

MORE ON CRASH
He spent al! day Friday and Friday I
night providing for the two injured
persons, and kept a fire burning with
some green shrubs handy to make
smoke signals as soon as be heard a
plane.
Savory came along and I used the
old Indian method of sending up puffs
of smoke. He saw them and came di
rectly to us. Then I knew help would
be earning soon."
At 9 o'clock Sunday morning the
rescue pai ty of 16 men from Moore
Creek arrived at the scene after
tramping all night.
Pilot Savory said he spent only 40
minutes looking for Victor’s party
when he was informed the plane was
missing.
“I made onh- one loop around the
valley and saw the smoke signals,”
Savory said. “Then I went up to
Moore Creek where the rescue party
was organized. We had five men
from Moore Creek, five from Flat,
,.ve from Take na and several oth
ers in the party.”
Savory made special mention of
the fine work 4of Charles Fowler,
aged SO, a reindeer owner who was
active in getting the rescue party to
the scene ana carrying out, the in
injured.
“Charlie did two men’s work, go
ing ahead of the party and cutting
a path through tbs swamps, then re
turning to help bring the injured
through on stretchers.”
Savory mentioned several other
men as doing especially fine work in
the arduous task of getting to the
wreck.
“The wreckage was invisible from
•he ground an a the party probably
would never have found it without
heir. Oscar Winehell and I were to
gether in a plane while the party
made the hike to the wreck. We flew
over the rescuers, dropping them
food at times and directing their
course.
“We kept flying from the rescuers
to the scene of the wm-k, circling
Victor and his party. The rescue
party headed toward where we cir
cled.
“When they came nearer the wreck
we made our directions more speci
fic by diving down directly ovsr the
wreckage in the forest. The rescue
party went to that point and found
.r j wreckage.”
The two injured travelers remain
ed in Flat today with Dr. A. S.
Waikowski. Star Airways reported
the weather still unfavorable for a
flight to Anchorage and said there
was little likelihood of the party
coming in today.
SATISFACTORY CLE ANUP
Hugh Matheson arrived in town
Sunday with the first cleanup of the
season on the Savage-Matheson
dredge on Ganes. The results were
reported to be highly satisfactory.
SIDESHOW GIRL SAVES

maul him. The sideshow attendant
girl, P.ene Somer, 16 years old, seiz
ed a whip and an iron rod and drove
the beast away from the man. She
then pulled him out of the den and
fainted.
Davidson was unfrocked " after a
sensational trial on charges of im
morality five years ago. Since then
he had been appearing in sideshows.
