means of the new airplane service op
erating in the region, covering places
never before seen by man. This dis
closed that the former estimate of
15,000 mountain sheep was far below
the actual number. The wild animals
of the park generally have shown a
good increase during the past year.
In the spring and fall the number of
caribou in the park is about 50,000.
In the winter months probably three
fourths of these move south to a re
gion where there is an abundance of
reindeer moss. A number of ptar
migan are now seen in the park after
an absence of nearly four years. Gray
an absence of near.y four years.
Grayling, which furnish excellent
fishing in the smaller streams of the
park during the summer months, es
cape to deeper rivers outside during
the time of heavy freezing. This va
riety of fish is found only in clear
streams, some of which are so smal
as to hardly have sufficient water to
cover the fish. Trout of a variety un
known in the States is found in only
one section of the park, between the
.'•icKInley and Clearwater rivers. At
Wonder Lake, just outside the north
boundary of the park, these fish grow
.o large size, sometimes weighing as
high as 35 pounds.
Juneau leads the entire Territory
in the total number of automobiles
bearing municipal licenses and in the
number of pleasure cars, and is sec
ond in ownership f cars fr hire, ac
cording to figures obtainel from var
our sources by the United States for
estry service at Juneau. Fairbanks
leads in the latter classification.
There are 537 autos registered at
the Juneau city clerk’s office, of which
391 are pleasure and 42 for hire ve
hicles. The remainder are trucks.
Ketchikan, which holds second place
as far as available records show, has
470 of all kinds, 310 pleasure, 28 for
hire, and 76 trucks.
Fairbanks may, however, have a
larger total. It has 320 pleasure and
59 for hire cars. These figures are
obtained from recrds of the Terri
torial treasurer’s office. As no Terri
torial license is reuired for trucks,
no ecord of them is available. If
Fairbanks-owned trucks are propor
tionately as numerous as the other
classifications, it will rank second,
relegating Ketchikan to third place.
Anchorage follows Fairbanks with
i 166 pleasure and 29 for hire cars. No
truck figures are available. Other
towns, all exclusive of trucks, follow:
Hyder 17, Sitka 17, Wrangell 23, Pe
tersburg 21, Skagway 36, Valde 37,
Haines 40, Nome 37, Cordova 91,
Matanuska and Wasilla 20, Chitina

Revigator Restores Water’s
Lost Element
THE NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIRNCH
THE moat important thing in life ia health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless wo live with some respect
to the laws of nature. Life is but cellular buildiny and cellu
lar elimination. This lost element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates cellular energy and removes cellular poisons.
Sir Arbnthnot 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.
For centuries the world has recognized the value of health
springs, and medical officers now attribut the value of the fam
ous springs to the natural radio-activity of their waters. This
radio-activity is one of nature’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating these health-destroying poisons and building healthy cells
and tissues.
It is 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 REVIGATOR WATER JAR.

Fearing that there will be S- wash
of workers to Ketchikan in quest of
jobs on the Zellerbach papers "project
and the Ketchikan creek flood;dantrol
work, civic organizations of- Ketchi
kan have taken steps to discourage
job-seekers. It is pointed out that
the harbor work will require a crew
of o.-ly about thirty men and that
.here are p.enty of idle men already
in Ketchikan to meet all labor re
quirements at present.
It also is pointed out that the Zel
lerbach plans still are indefinite, with
little likelihood that the work will get
under way this year.
There are only seven o reigrt men
in the Kobuk district, according to
Fred Moller, Fairbanks aviator, who
recently returned to Fairbanks from
a flight to Long Beach, in the Kobuk
district. These seven or eight men,
added the flyer, range in ages from
40 to 70 years. All own what they
regard as likely ground and are stick
ing to the country.
