INDIAN LEGEND ON ORIGIN OF
 COPPER RIVER

In unknown ages past, geologists tell us, gigantic disturbances oc- cured in Alaska A great range of mountains was pushed up through the costal plain giving to the Alaskan coast scenery of a grandeur and i'm pressiveness unequalled elsewhere.
 Vast changes have also occurred in the topography of the country within the memory of man, if the legends of the Indians of the Copper river region are true, and there are many indications that their story is ac- curate. It is we'll known fact to all who have visited the Copper River Valley that the Copper river of the natives and that of the white men are not the same. Maps of Alaska it's source in the Wrangel range, north of the mountain of that name and where the range divides the waters flowing south from those flowing into the Panama. To the h. dians the Copper river is that river known to the whites as the "Chityna" In fact, the word "Chitty" in the h. dian language means copper" and the suffix ma" means river" The Indian name of the white mans Cop per river north of the Chittyna is the Etna. In volume of water the Chittyna is at least equal to the Etna.
 According to the Indians, the Etna, ages ago, did not flow south, but emptied into either the Panama or White river, probably the latter, and the present Copper River Valley was vast inland lake, Eventually, dur ing period of high water, or be- cause of some disturbance in the earth's level stream from the lake found its way to the south and joined with the Chittyna in it's flow to the sea. AS this stream cut it's channel deeper and the flow of water in creased, it wore its way through all

SETS ASIDE WEEK TO
 HELP FORESTS
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE
 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, the destruction by forest fires in the United States involves an annual loss of approximately $20,- 100000 and the devastation of ap- proximately 12,50O,OOO acres of tim berland and other natural resources, and
 Whereas, the present deplorably large area of on-productive land is being greatly increased by 33,O0O or more forest fires which occur each year. and
 Whereas, the menace of future timber shortage threatens to become a present economic fact seriously affecting our social and industrial welfare, and
 Whereas, a large percentage of the forest fires causing the annual waste of natural resources may be prevented by increasing care and vigilance on the part of the citizens:
 Therefore, I, Warren G. Harding, president of the United States, do urge upon the governors of the vari- ous states to designate and set apart the week of May 22-2S, 1921, as For est Protection Week. and to request all citizens of their states to plan for that week such educational and instructive exercises as shall bring before the people the serious and un- happy effects of the present unneces- sary waste by forest fires, and the need of their individual and collec- tive efforts in conserving the ua- tural resources of America.
 In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed

AGED ALASKA MAN
 CLAIMED BY DEATH

Thomas Wilson, Alaska pioneer, who if he had lived until May A would have been one hundred years old, died last week at St. Ann's hos pital. Juneau, where for the past eleven years he had been making his home.
 "Uncle' Tom Wilson as he was known to all old timers, first came north in 1874 when he followed the big rush to the Cassiar country up the Stikine river from WrangelI. He had mined in Colorado and was on the site of Butte, Montana. be- fore that camp was started He was With Richard Harris. one of the founder of Juneau. at all these places and was with Mir. Harris on the Cassiar trip. He followed him to, Juneau in the fall of 1886 after the gold strike had been made at Silver Bow basin by MT Harris and Joe Juneau. The name Silver Bow was given to the basin after a similar one near Butte, where Wilson and Harris had mined
 For several years after coming north MT. Wilson mined in the placew mines of the basin in the summer and in the winter lived at home he had built in Juneau.
 Each year on May A for many years MT Wilson has received many callers who congratulated him on his birthday. There was every indica- tion that he would reach the century mark until he was stricken with apo plexy and passed peacefully away.
 Having lived to such an advanced age, he has outlived most of his immediate relatives, although the late Dr. James Simpson, pioneer physician on a visit to Ireland more than a dozen years ago, found sister of MT. Wilson alive at an advanced age and told her of her brother in Juneau.

STEWART REAPPOINTED
 AS MINE INSPECTOR

Gov. Thomas Riggs has announced the reappOintment of Territorial Mine Inspector B. D. Stewart for another two-year term of office. MT. Stewart was appointed to the office on Oc- tober 16, 1919, succeeding R. J. Som- mers, who at that time became sur vey general and ex-officiol secretary of the territory
 Prior to becoming mine inspector, MT. Stewart had been a resident of this city for several years and is re- garded as one of the leading mining engineers in Alaska. His work in the mine inspectors position was given very high praise by members of the territorial legislature during the session just ended.
 MT. Stewart will enter his second term of office under the last meas ure to be passed by the legislature this year, in which the term is fixed at two years and the qualifications of the appointee are named.
 In announcing the appointment of MT. Stewart, Gov. Riggs warmly parised the work done by him in office.

Stewart would be re-appointed- as soon as the measure then being considered with reference to the office became a law.

The report shows a total of 2,17O big animals secured by the 5000 li- censed hunters last season. The varieties taken include so caribou, 70 deer and 1900 moose.
 The value of game resources is not generally recognized but it is estimated half a million dollars is annually spent in this province on big game hunting.
