The Bureau of Fisheries reports
• that the 355 whales taken in Alaska
waters by two whaling stations dur
ing 1930 yielded products worth $470,
- 265, making the value of each whale j
more than $1,300. Whale oil, sperm
*. oil, fertilizer, pickled meat and whale
' < bone were the commodities secured
from the animals, says the report.
The section of the report dealing
'■ with Alaskan whaling folows:
“The Port Harbor and Akutan sta
tions of the American Pacific Weal
ing Company were again operated in
1930. Seven steam whalers were
< used, and employment was given to
190 whiles, 14 natives, and 2 Japan
< cse—a total of 206, or a decrease of
: 27 from the number reported employ
ed in th endustry in the previous
year. The whales taken consisted of
i 50 finbacks, 191 humpbacks, 78 sul
. phur bottoms, and 36 sperm whales.
This is a decrease of 30 from the
number taken in Alaska waters in
.1929.”
“The products of the whale fishery
‘ fishery consisted of 816,700 gallons of
' whale oil, valued at $371,276; 121,150

The nomination of Charles B.
Jones for a second term as U. S.
arshai in the Nome division has
Ween favorably reported by a subcom
uiittee and his confirmation is ex
pected in a few days.
Complaint has been made of the
a..eged unlawful residence of certain
aliens in Hyder, and the U. S. Depart- 1
. lent of Labor is investigating the
eses of several who are reported as
being employed in that vicinty, to de
termine whether they have been law
fu ly admitted to this country.
The Delegate has been asked to use
his endeavors to have the bridge re
placed across the Matanuska river at
Palmer Canyon Crossing, on the rep
resentation that frof 12 to 20 families
will be located on the east side of the |
river. The Alaska Road Commission
gives assurance that the construction
will be included in their program
upon definite assurance that the con
templated family settlement has ma-:
terialized.
With various requests for the es
tablishment of new ' postoffices in
Alaska, the novelty is now presented
of the postmaster at Dan Creek, in
the Nizina river country, asking that;
this office be discontinued. It is rep
resented that there is practically lit
tle business transacted at this office,
as a satisfactory automobile road has
been constructed from Dan Creek to
McCarty, from which point it is easy j
to secure the mail by the prospectors
and mining operators, an dat which
point they do their trading.
Stephen Capps, of the Geological
Survey, has written a brief account
of his studies of glaciation in Alaska.^
He predicts a possible recurrence of
a further ice age in the distant fu
ture, which he explains woule re
quire only a lowering of temperature
between 10 and 20 degrees. He says:
“It is probable that in Alaska, as in
other parts of the world, there have
been recurrence glacial periods from
mid-Palezoic time to the present. This
was to have been expected, for unless
the earth’s poles have wandered much
farther than has been determined the
high altitude of Alaska would always
have favored glaciation there as com
pared with more temperate lands.
Furthermore, for much of geologic
time there have probably been high
mountain areas in Alaska, and in
these areas local glaciers might have
been fostered even when glaciers
could not exist in the lowlands.”
William MacDonald, a building con
tractor from St. Louis, is now in
Washington trying to get some con
cession in freight rates on the Alaska
Railroad, through the Secretary of]
the Interior. He secured the contract
/for erecting the Fairbanks Federal
building, his bid being $392,000, but
now he is in doubt as to whether he
wants the contract. In making his
estimate it seems he was misinformed
by Outside persons as to the freight
schedule on reinforcing steel ship
ments, which is much higher than he
figured on. The Delegate is assisting
him in trying to have the matter ad
justed with the railroad, for if Mac
Donald does not go ahead with the
contract delay will result because
bids would have to be advertised for
again and possibly the specifications
ohanged somewhat. The next lowest
bid was by Severin & Co., of Chicago,
whose figures were $422)000. While
$460,000 was appropriated for this
buiding, but $404,000 watv allotted, by
the supervising architeoi-for. the gen
