NOME RAISES
 FINE VEGETABLES

A shipment of vegetables ar rived in Nome recently from the Kruzgamapa Hot Springs, about forty miles from the city, and the cabbages are reported by the Nome Nugget to have surpassed in size any ever ex- hibited there. The largest of the heads weighed 25 pounds and there were others of 19 and IS pounds. Radishes that weighed a pound and a quar- ter, turnips of 8, cauliflowers of 1 pounds, beets of 4 and 5 pounds were included in the shipment. The Hot Springs are located at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains and as the ground for a wide distance ar ound the springs is constantly heated by the springs, the place is an ideal one for truck gardening.

PIONEER OF MATANUSKA
 DIES IN SEATTLE

Abraham Reising, pioneer resident of the Matanuska val ley, died recently in Seattle while on a visit. Reising was found lying on the sidewalk in the lower portion of the city by a patrolman, who sent him to the city jail, believing that he was intoxicated. Arriving at the jail he was thrown into a cell on a hard concrete floor, in an unconscious state. After lying there for nearly two hours, he was removed to the City hospital, but died before an examination could be made.
 The circumstances surround ing his death resulted in a cor oner's investigation, which the Alaska Weekly says will prob ably result in bringing about prompt medical attention in like cases in the future. The post mortem examination held that death was due to appo- plexy.

Suit for an injunction to stay enforcement of regulations in the fisheries reserves in Alaska has been started by Delegate Dan Sutherland against Secre- tary Herbert Hoover of the De- partment of Commerce, ac- cording to advices received here through reliable sources. The case was started early this month in the District Court Of Washington, D. c.
 It is reported that the delegate maintains in his action that the President of the United States was without power to create the fisheries reservations, and their administration is not val i'd. To a prominent Alaskan recently visiting Washington, MT. Sutherland made the state ment that he had been advised by a leading lawyer of Wash ington that his position is sound
 In official quarters here, no confirmation could be had to this report. Early this year there was some talk of such a suit being instituted by the At torney General. This was cur rent talk during the session of the Legislature but after it's ad- journment the subject was dropped, and has not been of ficially revived nor presented to the Governor by the Attor- ney General.
