their guns and other weapons, were put on the grave. The passage of time and consequent exposure to the elements has destroyed and other articles that may have been stored with the gun.
 The gun, itself, says Rev. Kasheyar- off, is of the old Hudson Bay type, which in his youth had outlived It's usefulness and cast into the discal among the whites and most of the natives. It is a flint-lock, muzzle- loading weapon with an extra long barrel. The type of the gun, together with the fact that it was found in such an unfrequented spot, were stronger factors in the above theory of its origin by Rev. Kashevariff than its generally antique appearance.
 It was placed in the Alaska Mus cum yesterday It bears a tag show ing the name of the donor and it is considered by the Society to be d most interesting addition to it's al ready valuable collection.
 Rev. Kashevaroff announced yes terday that the evening hours for the Museum have been changed. Here tofore the rooms have been open on Friday evenings. Beginning today, they will be open each week on Wed nesday evening between the hours of 730 and g o'clock.

WATTS LETTER
 GIVES REASONS
 FOR NoNACTION
Commercial Association Gets Definite News Regarding
 Storage Plant.

Asserting that when the inquit. ious provisions of the merchant marine bill have been modified ol repealed, it will be glad to renew negotiations for the Juneau Cold Storage Company's plant, the New England Fish Company, in letter just received by the Juneau Com mercial Association, declares that at the present time it is forced to discontinue plans for further exten- sion of its Alaska nenterprises.
 The letter in the opinion of the Association officials, is an assurance that the company recognizes the strategical position occupied by Jul neau toward the fishing industry. The fact that the company appealed to the Shipping Board for a modi- fication of the terms of the act is taken as an indication of the cal IT, estness of the desire of the company to establish a plant here. The re- fusal of the board to grant the re- quest, says the company, makes it impossible for them to go through Wltn the plans loiIHuldteG uy MdH- aser A. E. Watts while Here last

A most unique addition to it's coi- lection of Alaska curios was pre-
 sented to the Alaska Historical So ciety yesterday by A. B. Peterson, il the shape of an antiquated flint lock gun. Worm eaten, the wood of tine stock almost destroyed by the fun gus, and the barrel and other metal parts encrusted with rust, it bears visible evidence of it's age which Rev. A. P Kashevaroff, Curator of the museum, estimates to be 100 years and possibly more. It had been in the possession of Mir. Peterson but a few days when he presented it to the Society. It's prior origin is unknown, but the circumstances Of it's finding, in the opinion of Rev. Kashevaroff, indicates that it was owned by a member of some tribe of Indians along the coast of Alaska. The gun was recently found by Mir. Peterson at the Mouth of Bridget Cove, on Lynn Canal. He came ac- ross it during a recent trip there. It was propped up against a tree. How long it had been there and who placed it there could not be learned by any evidence on the ground or n the vicinity.
 The theory of Rev. Kashevaroff is that at one time, years ago, it was the property of an Indian doctor. On the death of it's owner, it with other personal effects was placed on the grave in accord with the tribal customs prevailing in the primitive days. He points out that all other members of the tribe with the eX ception of the doctors were crematcd after death instead of being buried, but the doctors were buried, and

DAVIS RECOMMENDS
CUTTING OUTOF THE i
PROHIBITION OFFICE
GOVERNOR AGAINST
-a LAW ENFORCEMENT

A-sLatenent- given ouE&eSterdaN
by Frank, Gibson Campbell. presi-
dent of the Alexandria county civic
federation relative to the propose
of Governor Davis to abolish the
prohibition department. follows:
The recon- mendation of Governor
Davis that the prohibition depart
ment be abolished will come as a
distinct surprise TO the people OF
the state. The voters of the state
have SO forcibly expressed them =
selves upon the prohibition auest1o
whenever the question WAS before
them that there can be no DOUBT
that they desire the prohibition
laws strictly enforced.
While the reasons given by the
governor in favor of the abolition
of the prohibition department arc
plausible, the glad fact remains that
If the Legislature abolishes that of
fce at this time the enforcement OF
prohibition in the state of Virginia
will be set back at least five years.
because the liquor forces will hail
it as their victory and the impress
sion will go broadcast through the
state that government at Richmond
favors enforcement OF the law so
ment was abolished. Every boot
logger will look upon it as tacit
permission 10 ply his trade and the
splendid work of the prohibition de-
partment will be nuiIified and must
be done over again. This is a Sc
rious matter when it lis remembered
that two inspectors of the depart
ment were murdered in the per-
Torrance of the duty before the
bootleggers realized that the law
meant business.
Ii will be very regretablc to have
so through that stage Of law en-
forcement again and yet that is
what the. abolition of the prohibit
ton commission will mean. The
commission should by all means be
continued until the federal ma
chinery of enforcement gets to
functioning properly.
+ predict that the moral forces
of the state will make Themselves
heard in no uncertain terms If the
legislature nullifies the often-ex-
pressed wishes of the people in the
matter of the vigorous and COM
plete enforcement of Prohibition.
