i ALASKA INTERESTS AT

the Eastern States have been playing

, possibly, never, before.
The National Museum in Washing
• • ton looks f orwanl.^eagerly. and curi

... Alea Hrdlkka,.anthropologist, to the
- v western part of Alaska, where he now
.c is. In recent letters received by Dr.

.‘“Everything goes well, and I have
i. already 37 boxes of specims, not a
a. few of them jugt precious. Had great
i- good fortune throughout. Found in

arrow points on the Neknek, with
' • quite a .few. other interesting things.
The chief gathering, however, is in
the line of skeletons.
. “These, date from pre-Russian to
i. the Russian times, and many are in
a*, .almost an ideal state of completeness
.. .and preservation.
“They. were enclosed in earth,
crude cribs and even ice, deep below
4 to 1 dinches of frozen ground, in a
. regular cold and protected storage.
“As a starter I got a large lamp
. with a little figure on it, not as nice
i.- as those in Philadelphia, New York
Juneau, but of the same class and
connecting closely with the pottery

gathered sixteen boxes of specimens,
including forty skelteons which he
had to dig out of the ground from
their burial places, an arrow point
\gith gouging resembling that of the
‘Toalson's knife”' and thus connecting
with Asia, and many “barbed points.”
■ This collection was made along the
Nuahagak, Molchatna and Woods
River, he said. The whole collection
will be brought to the National Mu
seum for detailed study and compar

of the aborigines.
Many Seattle citizens and former
Alaskans have been interested in the
case of Iginio Gaglione, which has
been before the Department of Labor
for some time past. In the early days
of the development of Alaska Mr.
Gaglione was a resident of Juneau,
Nome, and then aFirbanks, where he
had valuable holdings on Dome creek.
At a time when his father was seri
ously ill the son left Alaska for his
native heath of Italy. But he did not
return to America within five years,
and when he did return it was on a
limited permit. He has been engaged
in business at Seattle for several
years and is a member of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce. The Immi
gration Bureau thought that under
the law he had overstayed his time
and should be deported. He was given
a hearing and the matter finally re
ported to the Department of Labor
at Washington, when a rehearing was
had, with the result that the Delegate
has just received a letter from the
Commissioner General of the Bureau
of Immgration, which says:
“Referring to your interest in the
case of Iginio Gaglione, I am pleased
to inform you that the Department,
in view of exceptional circumstances,
has concluded not to enter an order
of deportation at this time, but has
granted permission for the alien to
depart voluntarily from the United
States on or before February 1, 1932.
Unless he does depart, an order of
deportation will be entered and de
portation effected, in which event he
will not, under existing law, be per
mitted to re-enter the United States.”
This permission to depart is all that
Mr. Gaglione desired, and he will
later have an opportunity to return
under the regular immigration laws.
The inspection division o fthe Post
office Department ha sdiscovered a
shortage of $2,100 in the accounts of
the postmaster at Unga. As a con
sequence Gus E. Sjoberg has been in
stalled as acting postmaster, pending
the naming of a permanent official.
Because of the curtailment of pos
tal business ot Kennecott that office
has been relegated from the third to
the fourth class.
A petition has been filed with the
Postoffice Department requesting the

Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
THE moat important thing in life is health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully-unless we live with-some respect
to-the laws of nature. Life is bst cellular buildiny and cellu
lar elimination. This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
Sir Arbuihnot Lane, the great English physician, says "Most
diseases are directly traceable to bad-drainage in the body”—to
( the accumulation of clogging waste matter or poisons, at vital
organs.
i --For centuries the world has recognized the value of health
spriags, and medical officers now attribut the value of. the fam
ous'springs to the natural radio-activity of them waters.' This
radio-activity is one of azure’s ways-of dissolving*end- elimin
ating - these health-destroying poisons and building healthy' ooQa
and-tissues. i
It io- now possible for everyone, sick or well, to have- perpetu
ally, and at. reasonable cost, the splendid benefits of a -genuine
radio-active -health spring in the home- through this invention—

The residents of. St., Timpthy, which

In a recent letter from t Henry
O’Malley, Commissioner of Fisheries,
! he states that the run of salmon this
! year in Alaska water sis proving very
satisfactory, adding: “Bristol Bay
i did not secure a bg pack, hut very
j much better than last year, as they
I packed nearly 1,100,000 cases. The
Nushagak sde of the hay was poor,
but that was forecast from the sta
tistics available. The south side has
done very well. -Chignik is having a
good run of reds. The run of pinks
around Kodiak is excellent, although
; there is a shortage of reds in . that
i area. Cook Inlet is behind last year,
but the season in 1030 was .an efflcep
; tionally good one in that area. Prince.
William Sound to date is ahead of
last season. Southeastern Alaska is
not up to 1930, but it looks.as if it
was going to be an improvement over
1929, which of course was the return
from the fish of 1927, which .was *an
extremely poor year.”
Although the .Alaska salmon pack
of 1931 promises to exceed the av
erage year, there is a fear that there
will be further decline in the selling
price, which went down last year and
j hardly netted producing costs. The
packing of salmon is a business sub
ject to great fluctuations, as is shown
by the figures for 1929 and 1930. A
decline was recorded from 1,700,000
cases of red salmon in 192. > to 850,000
cases in 1930. The total jmck of 1929
was valued at $41,700,00U, and that
of 1930 was $29,900,000 for all types
of salmon. The figures on red sal
mon compare with a tptal pack of
that type of fish with the record of
2,600,000 cases in 1318, a figure ab
normally high. B. S. HolHnghead, as
sistant chief, foodstutfs division, De
partment of Commerce, in discussing
the salmon pack last week said:
“While the pack this year may even
be larger than the early stages indi
cate, there is not the prospect of
great profits for the canning com-!
panies who are faced with production
costs that threaten to eat up much of
their returns. The companies, how
ever, are generally regarded as being
well financed and able to stand the
difficulties that have accompanied the
economic distress characteriizing gen
eral conditions.”

TO INSURE VICTORY.
The loose talk so commonly in
dulged in to the effect that “money
will do anything” may easily implant
pernicious ideas in the impressionable
minds of youngsters who overhear it.
For example: There were two rival
juvenile baseball teams in a certain
neighborhood who were staging a
championship series on a convenient
corner lot. A certain business man,
whose little son was on one of the
teams, was an interested spectator at
the game, and naturally eager to see
his boy's team win the series. So he
•gave the boys ten dollars with which
to buy new balls, gloves and bats. At
the next gam ehe noticed wi h sur
prise that no new equipment .was in
use.
^Didn’t I give you boys ten dollars
to buy gloves and bats and balls
with?" he demanded of the “captain.”
“Yes, sir,” the boy answered. “But
you see, sir, you told us to spend the
money to the best advantage so we
ceuid win the series, and vve took a
v lie ci> how to spend it, and we all
decided to give ;it i.to the umpire.”—
