STORES HAVING RUN
ON PAINT; BRIGHT

Juneau stores are having a run on j
paint, kalsomine, varnish and all
materials used to freshen up interior
and exterior of (buildings-.
‘‘May a boat from the South reach

mine is almost gone," said a local
merchant this lAorning.
Everybody in Jur.sau is getting the

the town will be- aglisten with light

TWO GAME DISTRICTS
ABOLISHED BY BONE;
FUNDS INSUFFICIENT
Owing to the decreased appropria
tion made toy the last Congress for
protection of gam-e in Alaska, two
of the game districts in the Terri
tory twill toe discontinued at least
temporarily and the two wardens
heretofore assigned to them dropped
from the rolls, according to an an
nouncement ma-dio today toy Gov.
Scott C. Home. In past years Con
gress has appropriated $2.r>,000 an
nually for game protections, the1
amount boihg reduced by the last I
Congress to $20,000
This reduction, said'the Governor.!
made it impossible to continue the I
work with the same number of war-!
dens that is now employed. Each1
warden’s allotment is the minimum
on which the work can be carried
on to any reasonable degree of satis
faction. making it unwise to attempt
to maintain a full force on the small
er allothient for next year.
The Nome warden’s office has been
abolished entirely and no provision
made for that district. Thts<has been
hold by John Hancock.
The Anchorage office now held by i
Henry Dorman is the second one to|
bo closed. The Anchorage game dis-l
trlct, however, has been consolidated
with the Seward district and placed
under the supervision of George Cot
ter, of Seward.
