ABOUT FAR NORTH By SCOTTY ALLAN Students of the senior and Junior high schools today were discussing the colorful tales of the north re lated yesterday Uf "CT by AUan A- A fST& lan, better known as Sootty Allan, the Alaskan sourdough -who is known the world over as an Arctic adven turer and au thority on hus kies, those rug ged dogs of 'the far north. Scotty address ed the Junior high school students yesterday morning and the senior assemblage yesterday afternoon, sandwiching in a radio broadcast between the two talks. He showed the students & team of his famous -huskies har nessed to an Alaskan sled, explained how the dogs work and described the life of , the Eskimos. Shows Eight Huskies The five dogs attached to the sled, he told the students, could do the work of a horse, only their stamina was greater as they could continue for miles after a horse had become exhausted. Scotty, who is making a speaking tour through the west, had eight huskies-" with him. five of them being harnessed to the sled to demonstrate how they are teamed. Scotty told of his experiences in the world war when he took 440 huskies to France to haul ammu nition In the mountainous regions where neither horse nor tractor could penetrate. "In their natural state the Eski mos are a splendid race." Scotty said, "simple, hospitable, kind and hontest. They will share their last fish with a hungry traveler but they expect to be treated with sim ilar generosity when they are in need. They always remember a good deed, nor do they ever forget or fcrglve a bad one. If they are cheat ed by a white man, they will not rest until they have Inflicted re venge. And they usually get their revenge, even after the lapse of many years. .loins Gold Rush Scotty Allan came to this country from Scotland In 1887 when , he brought a boatload of horses to the Dakota territory. In the same year he went to the Arctic to trap fur bearing animals for the Hudson Bay company and thus obtained his first experience in the far north. Ten years later the famous gold strike took him to the, Yukon where he soon gave up mining to take up teaming aa the Income from trans porting provisions was "more certain than panning for the yellow metal." Scotty left yesterday afternoon in his big red car for Eugene where he was to continue his lectures. G.O.P. Wins Senate In Massachusetts BOSTON.

The secret worry of the new deal ers right now is not politics, but prices. Their economists have worked up some private reports Indicating that prices may be expected to advance strongly in the near future; tffie cost of living may be Increased out of proportion to the current national Income. That would mean plenty of trouble, because wage Increases al ways lRg behind price increases to & point ' where real hardships would fall on the bulk of the voters in the great middle classes. The most conservative Inner esti mate Is that the price level, now around 81. will increase to 86 or BU as a general average for next year. The outside guess Is 100 (the 1926 level). No one here has any direct in formation regarding Treasury Sec retary Morgenthau's secret confer ences with the French finance min ister and the head of the Bank ol France. But every treasury insider will bet 100 to one he is trying to find some way .to stop the importa tions of gold, which are doing as much to bring on a price "inflation as anything else. He is supposed to have cabled the department here for latest data on that subject before going to Paris. Stabilization is generally consid ered here to be out of the question. What set the new dealers off ftn their latest inflation price fretting is a report that the banking Indus try has been planning a general national increase In bread prices, A Ij E OF CAR RADIOS We Are Overstocked , Choose from this fine array of Nationally-known, quality brands.

' An ambitious young Democrat here figured out what he thought was a great Idea. Ha would write to all Democratic state chairmen soliciting their ' opinion as to whether Mr. Roosevelt would win their state delegations to the next national convention. Naturally he thought all would reply with glow ing assurances. These could be pub lished. It would make a good pub licity stunt. The first ten or twelve replies he received were perfect for his pur pose. But the last half dozen or so have been entirely unsuitable. The state chairmen grumbled about spats in their local organizations. Some complained about lack of co operation from Washington. One pessimistic chairman In a north central state wrote that his state political lines were cut up so badly that he did not know what kind of delegation would be elected in the primary. They ruined the symposium. It will not be published. One of the. best new deal publicity bureaus has the following motto typewritten on the wall as a per petual reminder to the staff: "The kind of writing that takes cogniz ance of the fact that people have more emotion than logic, more sim pllclty thair subtlety, moro Inertia than intellect.
