1.-THE Nome station has received and

tion, the best record being from the
Point Iona navy wireless station be-
tween 5000 and 1000 miles distant.
''Recomm mendations have been made
already for new stations at Fort
Yukon and Holy Cross Mission. A
movement is on foot to establish a sta
tion at Nulato. The Nulato station
would be the means of communication
with the Innoko and Iditerdd districts,
a telephone line now being built with
Nome capital. A wireless station prob
ably will be erected at Gulkana, on the
Valdez and Fairbanks trail. 1t is prob
able all of the commercial or govern

able coincidence is shown in the esti-
mates of the population as given out
by the state board of health and the

difference.
This variance can be attributed to
the fact that the department of tduca-
ton based it's figures on school census
from figures received several months
ago, while that of the health depart
ment is recent.
superintendent Edward Hyatt has
given the population of this state at
2,018,5553. The board OF healths fig
ures are 2,O37, 1929. Both totals were
arrived at by an entirely different
method of calculation, and the fact
that they are so nearly equal indicates
that California has increased over
