THE TRIBUNE
Since the Tribune told the people something about the
county salaries they did not know before, you may be ask*
ing why other brave papers are so quieti about it ?
Why don’t they do something ? , _ ,
Some of them can’t, even if they wanted to, for they
don’t' know how or what.
Others would, if they would pot shake in their boots,
afraid that politicians may not like it. 1
Most of them are here not for the people, but for
money.
As George Seldes shows in his recent book, if our
press would do its duty, the county and other graft would
be impossible.
But too many listen to their master’s voice — the
money.
If the tax burden grows, politicians are putting things
over on the people, the press is responsible not, a little.
These watchdogs of our liberties show courage and
patriotism only when it does not cost anything.
And so, also, this burden of new county salaries will
grow this year from a few thousand dollars in Lavaca
County, to fifty-thousand in Harris County, and swelling
into a mighty sum throughout the\ whole State.
You intended to save money when voting for the con-
stitutional amendment.
But thanks to politicians, the county salaries will cost
you more instead of less.
And this, at the time when many people are hardly
able to pay their taxes.
As it is, many a county officer receives as much, or
more than the governor, attorney general or justice of the
Supreme Court.
For an hour or two of work a day, a county officer
draws a nice salary.
As long as the county officers were paid mostly by
fees, it did not matter so much.
But this year it will be different. The salaries will
come mostly out of taxes — your own pocket.

“We ought to have it understood by friends and
enemies, that while we love that instrument (Constitu-
tion), while we will maintain it, and will, with undoubted
certainty, put to death friend or foe who undertakes to
trample it under foot, we will reserve the right to alter
it to suit ourselves from time to time and from generation
to generation.” — From speech, June 1864.

“I know the American people are much attached to
their Government. I know they would suffer much for
its sake. I know they would endure evils long and pa-
tiently before they would think of exchanging it for an-
other. Yet, notwithstanding all this, if the laws be con-
tinually despised and disregarded, if their rights to be
secure in their persons and property are held by no
better than the caprice of the mob, the alienation of their
affection for the Government is the natural consequence,’
and to that sooner or later it must come.” —From address
in Springfield, 111.

“Our government rests in public opinion. Who-
ever can change public opinion can change .Government

“If by the mere force of numbers a majority
should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitu-

Roads bad. '7
Feb. 12. — The continued
disagreeable weather has put
all of the farm work on a
stand-still. The dirt roads
are bad, practically impass-
able. The graveling of the
Bernard Prairie School road
is about half completed. Due
to rains, the work is progres-
sing very slowly. The gravel
is being hauled from a gra-
vel pit near Eagle Lake. The
graveling of the Muldoon
School road has not started
yet.
Also due to the inclement
weather the oil activities
have been slow in this terri-
tory. John Cykala and a
crew are digging the pits on
the Genzer no. 1 location, but
at this time it is almost im
possible to move the derrick,
rig and the other machinery
to the location. Several other
oil companies are making ex-
plosion tests in this terri-
tory.
Initiation Sunday.
A large number of local
Knights of Columbus mem-
bers are planning to attend
the initiation at Houston
next Sunday, Feb. 16. The
local Council will present se-
veral candidates for this
class. — The K. J. T. month-
ly meeting was not held last
Sunday due to the cold wea-
ther.
Trafic frippled.
The motor traffic thru
East Bernard has about trip-
pled, since the burning of the
Kendleton bridge on High-
way no. 12. All the Valley
and Southwest Texas traffic
is now routed thru here. The
rumors are that the bridge
will not be rebuilt for about
two years.
Polities.
The politics of this county
are opening up with the an-
nouncement of Odom John-
ston as a candidate for Com-
missioner of Precinct No. 2.
Several others are intending
to come out as candidates
for this office. Also our

SYNOPSIS
A* Alan Qarth. prospector, To pre-
paring to leave for Ills mining claim
In the Far North, a plans lands at
tlio airways emergency Btation. In
It ore Burton Rami)l, millionaire
mining magnate: his daughter, Lil-
ith: and Vivian Huxby, pilot and
mining engineer. Believing him to
ba only an Ignorant proapector, the
men offer to make an air trip to ____ _______
Garth's claim, although they refer t<A counted 15.
terfered with Huxby's all-day pan-
ning out of the platinum alloy. He
had not even asked to look at the
take of precious metal. Food was
a different matter. Instead pf shoot-
ing another moose, he called upon
Huxby to join In a caribou hunt.
A band of the big animttls bad
drifted along the tundra terrace
over towards the glacier. Qarth
He waited until the
mi samples of plaitfnum-Tjcarlng ora - - vlfhln
i, ncarlv "worthless." Lilith Ramlll. bftnd came Within 7.> yards. He
then let drive, shooting rapidly yet
with careful aim. One after an-
as nearly "worthless.” Lilith Ramlll,
product of the Ja» age, plainly
shows her contempt for Garth.
’ Vt*a (vul ,1 n
Through Garth’s guidance the plane
soon reaches the claim site. Huxby
and Ramlll, after making several
tests, assure Carth his claim is
nearly valueless, but to "encourage”
young prospectors they are willing
to take a chance In Investing a small
amount. Sensing treachery, Garth
secretly removes a part from the
plane's motor. Huxby and Lilith
taunt Garth with his "gullibility,”
but their tone changes when they
try to start the crippled plane. Re
turning to shore they try to force
Garth to give up the missing part.
Garth sets the monoplane adrift and
the current carries It over the falls.
He points out that ho Is their only
hope In guiding them out of the
wilderness. Qarth begins preparing
for the long Journey. He Insists
that the others help. Ramlll and
his daughter must be hardened for
the hardships ahead in their toil-
some trek to the outpost on the
Mackenzie. Garth finds the party has
stolen the tea and sugar he has been
saving for emergencies. He makes
no objection, simply pointing out
that he is accustomed to a strict
meat diet, and that they are hurting
only themselves, The work of get-
ting ready for the trip continues.
Hpxby refuses to help, and works on
tltfe mining claim.
CHAPTER V—Continued
—14—
Several yards from the entrance
Garth stopped before a narrow side
hole that opened above a walst-hlgh
uprise In the bedrock. He reached
In ahd picked tip a bundled white
skin. Out In the sun he opened
the Skin and showed u piece of
frozen meat.
•‘How's that for cold storage?”
he said. “Killed «i young mountain
sheep on my way out last month.
Thought I’d test the glacier. Looks
as If It's a safe meat house. No
chance of spoiling, nnd not even a
wolf had ventured Inside.”
Miss Ramlll sol'd nothing. She
saw no reason to consider the cave
of the slightest Interest. There was,
however, the meat. She suggested
that If It was not spoiled. It would
make a change from the moose
meat. This proved true.
The descent had been made by
Ramlll without aid.' There was no
need to support, much less back-
pack him. He had really begun to
get a start In training. To Garth
this wns nil the more reason for
pushing the mllllnnnlre the harder.
In the week thnt followed, he al-
ternated more climbs with trips
around Into the muskeg swamps.
He led his sweating, swearing
charge over nlggerhead grass, where
the henvy-hodied city man had to
Jump nimbly from one big tussock
to another or take a tumble.
Miss Ramlll tagged along on these
grueling hikes. She also made an-
other climb up the gulch. Garth
cached In the cave the hundred
pounds of smoked moose meat he
had brought up on his pack-board.
He then led on up the glacier, half-
way from Its foot to the top of the
pass. That gave the three climbers
some real Ice work. Coming back,
Garth knocked three brace of fool
hens from spruce limbs with a stick.
The half dozen grouse made a
pleasant change. But even with a
poll of salmon berries for dessert
they proved a scant meal for the
four ment-enters. The last leg of
moose had already been baked and
eaten, the tbngues broiled, and the
second mufrie stewed. The remain-
der of the smoked meat would not
fast long. Ro far, Garth had not in-
other dropped, each with a bullet
through the head. The stupid beasts
stared In the direction of the sharp
reports. But they could see noth
log. The sixth went down before
the nine survivors wheeled and clat-
tered off In panic-stricken flight
The flaying was well under way
when Huxby and Miss Ramlll came
hastening aslant the tundra ahead
of Mr. Ramlll. The girl eyed the
clean delicious-looking white fat on
the first flayed body. "That looks
good, Alanl Vivian, you can go
back to your mining, Dad and
will help here."
Her father called out a panting
suggestion for Huxby to wait and
carry down a load of meat
“No need," Garth said. “Don’t
stop, Huxby. Most of this venison
Is going on Ice. None will be al-
lowed to spoil.”
The engineer did not linger. He
had looked none too well pleased
over the girl's familiar use «/
Garth’s first name. Along with hts
displeasure about this, there could
be no doubt of his eagerness to get
back to the platinum panning.
When Garth finished the flaying
of the caribou, he started to dress
out the bodies. Greatly to his aston-
ishment, at the cutting up of the
second caribou, Lilith took the belfc
ax and began to help. Mother Na-
ture had cracked the polished shell
of artificiality In which the pam-
pered heiress hod been encaseU.
The girl’s few days In the Wild had
awakened primitive Instincts ground
dfeep into the nature of woman dur-
ing the remote past of , mankind.
So, upon reflection, Garth's amaze-
ment passed. He bad managed to
cover it, even at the first, when Lil-
ith Ramlll took the belt-at In her
slender hand and severed the neck
bone of the caribou with s single
blow.
Her father was the one who
stared. He sat v^itchlng the girl’s
quick, eager wielding of the hand-
ax, his mouth slack, almost agape.
Garth could only surmise how she
had always been coddled and pam-
pered. Her father knew it. He
knew how, since her childhood, she
hnd been wrapped about with silken
luxury, waited upon by attentive
servants, petted and spoiled.
The millionaire had been born on
a farm. He could recall seelng-hls
mother help butcher sheep and hogs.
But she was a farmer's wife. Lil-
ith would not have known how to
prepare a spring chicken for the
pan. And now she was cutting up
caribou.
Aside from an occasional word of
direction, Garth said nothing. When
he finished dressing out the fifth
carcass, he handed his knife to his
eager helper, packed a load of meat,
and carried It to the Ice cave.
Down In the gulch bottom he
chose a pothole stone that would
hold perhaps three quarts. In the
bowl he colled a wick of twlr.ted dry
caribou most, piled In caribou fat,
and lighted the wick. When the
fat melted, the wick burned with a
strong steady Home. Caribou ribs
furnished a grating on which to
broil steaks. The fat meat was de-
liciously tender, Us flavor between
venison and beef.
When even Mr, Ramlll could eat
no more, Garth carried the atone
lamp Into the Ice cave. Upon his
return, he had Mr. RapiJU agd Lilith
look dose nt the caribou skin*.
“You see they are hair, not Mir.
But every hnir is hollow. Nothing
Is warmer than a caribou parku. In
I'aet, the winter cont Is too warm to
be worn. That Is why 1 killed six
now, Instead of one. You have never
wintered In the North.”
Mr. Ramlll tensed as If prodded.
"Wintered? You can’t mean to In-
fer you expect to stay on here. We
lmve your promise to take ue out.”
Garth answered Mr. Ramlll: "You
have my promise—more's the pity.
A winter a la Eskimo would he
a wonderful experience for Miss
Ramlll. However, site will, of
course, prefer to go back to jnzz
and cocktails, to paint, powder and
lipstick.”
She flared: "And rid of yon!”
“To be sure. That above all els#,*
he agreed. "So how could I deprive
you of that pleasure or fall to glva
pour father and your fiance another
chance to bilk me out of my placer
claim? I agreed to get you Back to
the Mackenzie. When we reach the
old post, we part company. You and
Huxby wilt then be free to go as
far as you can."
“But in that case— No, you can’t
make me swallow It I know you're
not such a fool as to risk losing
that placer,” said Ramlll.
Garth laughed outright.
"What d'you take me for? Your
brand of gold-digger? Gad, that’s
the nubbin of It all. It’s the rea-
son why men like you and Huxby
lose out. You worship the golden
calf. Yet what value Is there tit
riches other than what yon get from
them? Can you think of a morn en-
joyable game than playing draw
poker, with our lives In the Jackpot,
an'd'Fortdne dealing us the cards of
chance?”
“What’s the cntch?” Inquired
Miss Ramlll, with a sudden upwell-'
lng of her sophisticated cynicism.
" ‘Lives in the Jackpot,’—that means
nothing. It’s your placer that’s in
the pot. what stakes do you con-
sider we hove In to balance It?”
“That would be telling," ha
teased. "You’ll know If I win. If I
lose, It wiU not matter to any of
you what you've risked. The show-
down may come sooner than I ex-
pected. Your father Is already la
fairly good ahape. We'll start the
trip out ah soon ns those caribou
skins have been tanned.” . —* —'

CHAPTER Vli
Hell In the Muskeg,
p arth sat beside the camp Art,
'J sewing new moccaBlns for him-
self. Nearby, the millionaire deal-
er In mines and his fastldlone
daughter scraped the raw sides of
the six caribou skins and nibbed
them with the tanning mixture- of
fat, liver and brains. Garth had
told them they could either tan the
skins, or wait for him to do It. Un-
til the tanning had been finished,
the trip out would not begin.
Mr. Ramlll was so keen to start
