EPIDEMIC KILLED MANY
 NATIVES AROUND ILIAMNA

r. E. Ncel. recent arrival in An chorage from the lliamna country" brought further authentic news rela' tive to the fatalities caused by the influenza epidemic among the natives in that section.
 In company with three associates Mir. Neel made the trip by water and land from Naknek to Snug Harbor. The party was on a prospecting trip and during their two months travci ran across several native villages that had suffered severely from the rav ages of the flu. Mr. Nee' states tnai at one camp, located about fortV miles from the head of the IIiamr" river th1 found three dead natives two men and a boy whom they bur ried. The deaths had probably occur red one week previous as there were 24 dogs alive tied to trees near the camp that were alive but in very weak condition.
 Five miles farther they found an other fishing camp with a woman anu two children barely alive and five dead natives. The native woman would not allow the Neel party 70 bury the dead on account of some SUI perstition which the men respected. However, they left a supply of tea, flour and milk and what provisions they could spare with the survivors. In the same locality they ran across a fishing camp of about 300 natives who had not had the epidemic anu were in good shape physically.

BotA will become officials of the American Bureau of Shipping of New York aA organization for the classification and registration for the ships in the Amcr- ican merchant marine, which has lis British counterpart in Lloyd's of Lon don.
 Efforts were made by the ShippinS Board to obtain their services for th'' organization eighteen months ago or' Secretary Daniels of the navy to which the coast guard had been trans ferrcd, refused to release them during the period of the war. The request for their release at this time was indorSeed by the American Bureau of Shippint' the United States Shipping Board anJ the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of commerce.
 Commodore Bertholf and Capta'n McAllistcr were largely instrumehtaI in the amalgamation of the rpVenuI cutter and lirc-saving scrvice% iTo what has become the coast gVard. Commodore Bcrtholf was member oi the international conference on safety at sea during the war and was also chairman of the Anchorage board.
 Commodore Bcrtholf first came to Alaska in 1897. when he vas placed in command of an expedition sent out from the United States revenue cutfr' Bear at St. Michael to the relief o.' several hundred starving whaI"T whose ships had been caught in th@ Arctic ice.
 Guided by w. T. LOpp' now chier CT the reindeer service. and accompanied by Dr. s. J. Call and Lieutenant D. |. Jarvis. both now dead Commodo"" Bertholf drove a number of reindeer from Cape Prince of Wales to Her schel island, where the animals were slaughtered for food. Commodore Bcrtholf later spent eighteen months in Siberia, where he purchased the reindeer that formed the nucleus of the present Alaskan herds.

The startling is about as tough and
hardy as the sparrow and. like the
latter, is able to subsist on a variety Of
food, being none too particular what
he eats. The startling was brought
here from England in 1890 by a natur-
alist, who turned several score of
them loose in Central park. New York.
Although the startling Is not migra-

It was not until eight years later
