the latter part of September, so at so
confer with, the natives of Southeast
ern Alaska as far north.as-Juneau.
There is still hope that this may be
accomplished, although, these i3i some
doubt about it, as a recent letter re
ceived from Senator Frazier, now in
North Dakota, says:. ;
“I appreciate your interest in the
Indians of Alaska and assure you, that
I will be. glad to. do anything I can to
help. 1 doubt whether it will be pos
sible for the suh-committee to make
the trip as: far north as Juneau this
fall.. I trust,, however, that some
legislatiofl.wilk be enacted by the next
session to help your Indians.’'
A vacancy has been caused in the
postoffice at Circle Springs because
of some discrepancy in the postal
funds,. resulting in the appointment
of M. .Henry Green as acting post
master, with the probability that he
will receive the permanent appoint
ment.- ..
Fur farmers along the Alaska rail
road are protesting against Freight
Circular. No.. 45, issued in 1926, which
prohibits the shipment by freight of
live valuable fur bearing animals. If
shipped, they must be sent by ex
press, at an enormous cost, which
makes shipment prohibitive. It is
claimed that no other railroad in the
country makes such a rule, and one
trader writes: “When a rancher is
prevented from selling breeding stock
and exchanging breeders wtih other
ranchers he is deprived of consider
able part of his ujst revenue and a
means of building up his herd of
foxes. Already 18 fur farmers have
closed their pens and moved, starting
again elsewhere, and this winter more
will move.”
Representative Ernest Willard Gib
son, of Vermont,, chairman of the
House committee on territories, re
turned the other day from a four
months’ trip abroad. He was not able
to, get to Alaska, but did visit Hawaii,
Guam, the Philippines, Hongkong,
China and Japan. He was particular
ly interested in the work done in
those countries over which the United;
States has jurisdiction, and says:
“Hawaii has made more progress
in material prosperity in the develop
ment of governmental activities and.
facilities during the paat thirty years
than any other part of the nation. It
has an efficient government. It is the j
melting pot of the- Pacific:.. Here, too..!
the native Hawaiian and the citizens
of alien, extraction are thoroughly j
loyal. The Legislature baa. phased’a
ent summer, Delegate Wickersham
has sought to induce Chairman. Lynn
J. Fraierz and other members of .the
Senate committee on Indian affairs to
extend their proposed visit to soma.

FIRST OCEAN BOAT DOCKS
AT CHICAGO WITH CARGO
CHICAGO.—A land-and-wafcsr ova
tion today greeted the Swedish
freighter Anna as it docked at the
Montgomery Ward A Co. pier, Chi
•caga avenue and the river, inaugurat
ing: a. regular export and import traf
fic and thereby making history for
Chicago as an ocean port. Boat Whis
tles; blowing, flags flying and crows
cheating- gave a festive air to the in
csmsag of the first ship ever to bring
ai cargo of general merchandise direct
from a European port to Chicago.
Other cargoes of general merchan
dise have come to the port of Chicago
from Europe, it was explained, but
they were transshipped at Montreal
because the draught of the vessels
prevented, them from attempting the
passage of the Welland canal. The
Anna was, able to negotiate the canal.
The Anna, brought 1,650 tons of fenc
ing wire and farm implements.
“1 am- a woman of few words,” an
nounced! the haughty mistress to the
new- maid, “ifI beckon with my
Anger, that means come.”
“Suits me. Mum,” replied the girl.
“I‘ra av woman of few words mysslf.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
ALL MONKEY BUSINESS
LO SANGELES.—Mr. and Mrs. W.
L. Williams celebrated their wedding
anniversary today under difficulties.
As they sat down to dinner a monkey
pranced in the front door and leaped,
chatering, on the table, with one foot
in the buttar, another in the salad,
his tail lashing a soup tureen. The
monkey bounded upstairs, played'
havoc with expensive lingerib, tried
faucets, and tore out the seat of Mr.
Williams pants. Scampering do#n
stairs, the simian mounted a chande
lier. He evaded a lasso flung by pa
trolmen and fled to the bath. Roped
there, he shook hands all around and
was crated to the city pound.
