CAPTAIN WILL
 HUNT WALRUS
 IN ARCTIC SEA

Following the great ice pack of the 1 Arctic as it drifts westward from
 Point Barrow, the uorthernmost tip of Alaska, the Seattle power schoon- CT Ruby will engage in a walrus hunting expedition this summer, ac-
 cording to Capt. Louis Knaflich, president of the Kuskokwim Fishing
 & Transportation Company, owner of the vessel
 The Ruby began loading at Seattle
 recently for Boring sea and the Arc tic. She will start on her walrus
 hunting expedition after delivering a shipment of freight at Point Barrow. Twelve men skilled in walrus hunting, will be aboard the Ruby when she starts her Arctic cruise
 from Point Barrow this summer" said Captain Knaflich. "The vessel
 will follow the ice pack as far as
 Wrangell island. We expect to get
 large quantity of ivory, oil and hides, which will be brought to Seat | tle."
 ! Walrus hunting is not only a prof
 itable business, but great sport, ac-
 cording to Captain Knaflich. The I twelve walrus hunters will be armed with rifles and will do most of their ! shooting from the deck of the Ruby ITO kill walrus you have to shoot him in the back of the head, and for that reason expert riflemen are
 needed on a walrus hunting expedi- tion," said Captain Knaflich. q am told the men who will be aboard the
 Ruby have been hunters for years
 and undoubtedly will bag a large
 number of the big fellows" The bulk of the Ruby's cargo will be for the Alaska division of the
 United States bureau of education,
 and will consist of coal, lumber and school supplies. She will call in at Teller, Shismeref, Kotzebue, Point
 Hope and Point Barrow. The vessel
 last year made a voyage to Herschel island, far to the eastward in the Arctic, where she delivered supplies for the royal Canadian mounted po- lice. The vessel will be commanded by Capt. Carl Hansen during her voyage to Boring sea and the Arctic ocean.

BILL DOUBLES
 FOREST FUNDS
 OF TERRITORY

Payment of 50 per cent of all the moneys received from the national forests in Alaska by the federal gov ernment into the territorial treasury is proposed in House Bill Mo- 5950, introduced in congress by Delegate Sutherland. This money is to be expended by the territorial legisla- ture for the benefit of public schools and roads.
 Under the existing law, the act of congress approved May, 1908, Alaska gets only 25 per cent of the receipts from the national forests. The increase proposed by Delegate Sutherland was advocated by Gov ernor Riggs in his last annual report to the secretary of interior and ap- proved by Col w. B. Greeley, chief forester
 At the same time the above meas ure was introduced Delegate Suther- land also introduced another bill re. specting the sales of national forest timber. The latter bill authorizes the secretary of agriculture to re- ceive deposits from any purchaser of national forest timber in such sums as may be necessary to pay all or part of the cost of the United States of administering the sale of such timber It also authorizes the secretary of agriculture to sell, with out advertisement at a fair appraise- national forests in Alaska not exceed ing $1,000 in stumpage value.
