 Be Renewed.

Little Rock, July 3O.-The legisla- ture of 1915 will no doubt be pro- ductive of the game laws which the game protective associations of the state have been fighting for for several terms. Governor J. NJ. Futrel, as a member of the Senate of 1913, undertook to pass such a bill, and did force it through the Senate, He states that the fight will be renewed in the next session, and at that time the bill probably will come up in the House.

Alaskans Are Found
 in Far-away Tahiti

Tahiti is an island about 45 miles long and two to ten miles in width. It is mountainous, like Southeastern Alaska having peaks reaching an el. ovation of 5000 feet. The climate is semi-tropical almost like Hawai-, only more delightful.
 The sun shine S65 days out of each year with occasional showers, Ten miles distant is the island of Moorea, said to be the most picturesque bit of land in the world. The capital of the group is Papeete on Tahiti. It has a population of 2,5OO and is the only city on the island. The entire pop ulation numbers about 11,OOO, twenty five hundred of whom are whites. The natives are Polynesian and are q very fine. mild-mannered, kind.hearted peo- pie. There has not been a murder on the island since the advent of the whites. The country is under the French flag but English is the lang uage spoken there's. The white popu- lation is cosmopolitan.
 The principal commercial product of the island is copra, or dried coaco- nut and vanilla, though all kinds of tropical fruits including bananas, grow in abundance.
 After the strenuous days at Chicha- golf Mr. and Mrs. Archangelski sought recreation in the South Seas. They enjoyed the ease and comfort of that delightful cline so much that they are returning. It is their intention of buying a vanilla and coaconut plan tation and settle down for period before returning to Alaska.
 Mir Archangelski has a fine library in their home and he says the climate and surroundings are such that con- duces to full appreciation of good reading.
 A number of old Alaska prospectors have found the haven of rest at Tahi- ti Amang them might be mentioned Mcdonald and Hyatt from Fairbanks, Heminger. of Yakutat. and Cobb of Sitka. Game Warden Tollman, of Seward, has a son there now and is preparing to fly for the Southland himself. The thought is pleasing to both Mir. and Mrs. Archangelski that Alaskans are finding out the place,
 "Oh. yes, we are coming back to Alaska again" they said, i've could not really stay stay away you know. We must come up here to cool off besides this is home"

BELLY PROSPECTOR
 LIKES THE COUNTRY

C. l.. Dunbar, formerly of Nevada, but more recently from Yukon Terri tory is in Juneau but will leave in few weeks for Seattle.
 Mir. Dunbar has put in about eight months at prospecting in the Pelly riyes watershed and speaks favorably of that section as a field for the pros pector The Pelly has not been pros. pcted very thoroughly, MT. Dunbar says In fact there are vast areas that show no evidence of having been visited by whites or even Indians.
 There is a schist.porphyry forma- tion in one section of the Pelly wat, ershed that offers alluring induce ments to the man who makes pros. pecting his calling. Mir. Dunbar, who has prospected nearly all his life and who knows the Nevada hills like an open book, is particularly impressed with this section. He says that there are splendid surface indications of good quartz deposits but absolutely no prospecting has been done along this line.
 MT Dunbar became interested in a placer prospect. He never reached bed rock and so feels rather difident about expressing himself on the sub ject. Ut looks good to me-" he said and I'm going back" Further than this Mir. Dunbar refuses to be quoted Gold is encountered in the gravel as far down as he had sunk and evidently in encouraging quantity.
 From Seattle MT. Dunbar will pro ceed to Vancouver and secure some pack horses. He expects to come UT in April and go in over the ice with his pack animals and outfit. There is trading station belonging to Fay Tor & Drury about 200 miles up the Peny but MT. Dunbar will evidently pack a part of his outfit cross country There is no one in his section of tho country but himself.
