IS TO BE DISBANDED
' » -
A meeting of the leaders of the
Ctrl Scout patrcl was held in the
Congregational Church last evening
to clocldo upon their .future activi

it was found that some of ths leaders
have left the Island and ono or two
of the patrols are almost completely
broken, up on account of the gradua
tion and departure of their members.
So it wus decided that unless some
one desired to take charge of the
patrols and reorganize them as cap
tain it was necessary to disband.
A little money still remains in
the Scout, treasury with which Scout
buttons for tho members to keep
«S| souvenirs aro to he sent for.
Whatever' mobey is leri over paying
■for the buttons Is to he donated to
the Douglas school's 1924 school meet
•which is to be hold at Ketchikan.

not completely isolated by the pro
f^sor's efforts in this direction are
neablng completion. The connection
of the element with zirconium, a’
kindred clement, has made investi
gations exceedingly difficult, but
Professor Bohr has been able to as
certain that the atomic weight lies
between 179 and 181.
Five of the 92 elements exic.tant
remain to be discovered.
As a result of his experiments
Professor Bohr has discovered that
hafnium is impenetrable by Iton
tgen-rays. He asserts that it has the
good qualities of ibismuth, which is
used in connection wth Rontgen-ray
experiments, but none of the bad
ones, and the discovery is expected
to be of considerable value to medi
cal science.

“REACH BALM”
v
SAN FRANCISCO, Juno C.—The
fact that Mrs. Elsie L. Lyklns, for
merly Lodi telephone operator
reached several hundred times a day
to a fWitcShboard to connect callers
with numbers Is not sufficient proof
that she developed permanent heart
trouble, according to a recent de
cision of the Industrial Accident
Commission, which ruled against
her claim for compensation. Mrs.
I^ykins lias petitioned for a rehear
ing which, it is said, .will be fR'ant
od In the near future.
Mrs. I.ykiOK' application for com
pensation, tiled through the Indus
trial Accident Commission, is said
to be ttyc first on reowd In tbe
United States wherein a telephone
operator claimed she suffered heart
truoble brought on by reaching with
her hand to. “plug jn” calls. While
working for the Pacific-Telephone
and Te 1 egru ph vConyp an y at Lodi, tjc
aording to her testimony before the
commission, she worked on “position
No. 12. This position, she testi
fied, had a longer reach than those
of the other glrlB.
"I sometimes averaged a^pany as
25b tvljs an hour at number
twelve,'.’ she testified. “My arms
got tired and l know that my heart
yrjgaffeeted by the reaching.”
Tftfe attorneys for the telephone
company stated they wefe. not op
posing Mrs. Lyklns' claims with any
idea, of depriving tier of any com

“FROZEN FOOT
IS SOME COER

j
Alaska’s Star Stillman, Resi
dent of JuneaU, Given
.Big Write-Up.
Eilwaril Johnson, net tor known as
“Frozen Foot,” formerly of Juneau,
residence uo,w in tho county Jail at
Seattle nerving time jtoc connection
with a still, is giv,en some fanciful
write-up in a recent Heattla i’ost-lu
telllgencef, Tho ur-liccl is a vvi-y in-;
terg.>t I a K one. and as written by Hal ;
Armstrong, is as follows:
■'Frozen Foot” Johnson they call
him around Nome, and at Juneau he!
is known as “Ed.” tho first and -
foremost moonshiner in Alaska, and
the hard-oat one to -catch. In the
county jail here yesterday he respond
ed to the name “John* .Edwards.”
Bashfully he came out of a tank
of coils, hobbling on his frozen foot,
the toes of which he left on one of
the gold creeks north of Nome, and
drawled:
"All this talk you’ve heard about'
me being so smart is the bunk. Smart
enough to .break into jail; that's me.
And that ain’t very smart.”
IHe draped six feet three-and-a-half
inches of brawny frame over a bench
in the corridor and crinkled up the
corners of his eyes.
Begin* Hi* Story
‘‘Nope,” he said. ‘T never struck
it rich and blew my dust like a mad
man around the Klondike dance halls.
Who rwas telling you that? 1 wasn’t
.hard (o catch; the United States mar
shals could have got me any time on
tho street at Nome. Moonshiners?
Well, that’s what THEY say. And if
I’.m the brother of Daisy Dee then
my folks have deceived me cruel, for,
so far as they ever told jne, I never
had a sister.”
iBut at tho marshal’s <rtfice here,
and the Federal dry agents' bureau,
the record of “Frozen Foot” Johnson
speaks for itself- And what the
record doesn’t say comes by word of
mouth hfrom the Far North. This is
the story:
When AJaska was young and gold
was everywhere, Johnson seemed to
have more of It than any other lucky
prospector who made Nome his play
ground.. The dust he left In his wake
made a dozen girls and men rich. He
paid $100 for a plate of ham and
eggs, and when he played roulette it j
was for a half a million, stacked on
the table in tiny'jokes, and staked on
one 'whirl of the wheel,
Johnson Goes Broke
! Johnson went broke, but It took
a long time, and when he started
back to the creeks for more yellow
dust a blizzard caught him and froze
him stiff. He lost bis toes and his
robust health, and thereafter Alaska
had moonshine, lots of It, that was
said to be the best on earth, and
somehow, though he’ seemed to be
doing nothing, Johnson had plenty of
money
iDaisy .Dee, a Federal government
agent, was reported to be his sister,
and all the deputy United States
marshals in Alaska were hot on John-1
son's trail, but they didn't catch hitn.
and he boasted they never would,
until two years ago.
“The slickest moonshiner In the
North, and the best,” as he was [
known, was convicted by a Jury in •
April, 1931, for violating the Alaska
bone dry lnwr and the national pro
hibition act by manufacturing liquor,
and was sentenced to be fined $300.
Pay* $500 Fin*
.Tollneon, the story goes, laughed
loud and long as he paid his fine and
strolled out of court ail'd disap
peared.
Moonshine continued lo flood Al
aska, Johnson Aras blamed openly,
and secretly admired, and the mar
shal’a deputies went after him again.
But none could find him. except wjiet;
he came to Juneau on -peaceful busi
ness. ,. , V
ithuro young fledgeling deputic i, on
probation, ambitious to maks tkey
names and get themselves In sol'd
with the government, ft Is said,' bent
all their efforts towards catching
J oh neon in tlM act of operating ill*
still. .They found him; after months
of endegror, so the story goes, beetds
a giant distillery on an islan^. To
their surprise he surrendered.
-They set him aboard their launch
and hfeaded for Juneau to put him In
JaH, hut when they reached thAe, It
Ja reported here, Johnson went up
town, ostensibly to set them $500
each for their trouble that he might
50 his way In peno<\ ami while 'hey
waited in thfftr, launch he jumped
■‘board a Seattle bouml steamship and
ett them holding an empty sack.
Warrant for Arrest
• Whereupon, afte^ some hours, find
ing themselves jilted and their' prMon-1
»r escaped, the two young men h id!

sworn 'out for his rearrest.
Local prohibition agents discovered)
him hero a few. .weeks ago, operating
a still in a house at l!Ur> East John
Street, so they say, and whan he is
through with his tremble in Seattle
|je will h' taken back .to Juneau to
Face the charges there.
“Nope,” sa:ti jonnson, < r Edwards,
as he prefers (o bo tailed in Seattle.
"I was in Alaska once, from lhftn to
