Nome.-Accordiug to Hugo Beyer, who is not a nature fakir, who has reputation for veracity, and who lays no claim to being any kind of natur alist, species of mollusk, supposed to be a mud clam, is found ill the bot toms of the Iditarod river. Beyer states that the shells are about six inches in diameter, nearly round, and, except for their size, very similar in appearance to the famous Little Neck found on Puget sound. He has no knowledge as to whether or not they are edible. He wanted an Indian to try one first, to see if they were good to eat. The native, however, explained that the clans cannot be found except ing at low water, and as soon as the water leaves them they die. "lf you eat dead clam you become dead native" is the rather mixed manner in which the Eskimo explained the situa- ton. So Beyer thought he would rather take his word for it than to take chance on more personal inVestiga- tiOn

The T. Tahn

The forestry boat Tahn was in the channel last week and spent part of the day Saturday tied up at the city float While there are 153 national forests, the Tahn was the first boat built for the service and is yet the only one. She is 64 feet in length and is propelled by
 5O-h. p. gasoline engine. She IS equipped with almost every convent ence found on ships of larger size, and cost the government something like S1O,OOO. Her headquarters are at hetch- ikan. Her officers and crew were as follows w. Rabbit, ranger; James Allen and George Peterson, assistant rangers; Lyle Blodgett, engineer, and Harry Clark, cook. The forestry serV- ice, it's purposes, aims and work accom- pIished are pretty generally misunder- stood, especially in Alaska. One Of the hal dest things that the service has to do i- to overcome this prejudice. Some time ago it was decided to protect the totem poles left standing in deserted
 Indian villages from the hands of van dals and relic hunters. The order has gone forth that these totems are to be treated with a preservatiVe by the em- ployees of the service. The rookeries, where the shore and water fowl lay their eggs and hatch their young, are also included in the protective scope of the service. A neat little booklet de- scriptive of the work of this depart ment may be had by anyone interested
 upon application to any of the stations.
