 With reference to published ac- counts concerning the unfortunate outbreak Of Colonel Nears at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce luncheon. I have no statement to make except to invite attention to Secretary Falls published an nouncement that the relief of Col onel Mears had been under advise ment for about year and that he had prevailed upon the President to let him remain chis past year to complete the big. Tanana River bridge. ..:
 -Uutil a few days before my re turn to Alaska in February I had no inkling of any proposed change. Secretary Fall made his decision, so far as I know, without consulting any Of his usual advisors except the President. When he offered me the job I accepted on condition that Major Gotwals should also be ap- pointed as my assistant.

"As Colonel Mears had been absent from the Territory for four months i- was unnecessary for him to get back into detail again. He merely had to turn over reports of the matters he had handled while out side both in Washington and Seattle, and to be available for con sultation for few weeks on loose ends still outstanding. -

The big problem In dealing with

IF the Government cannot stop
the smuggling of whiskey into the

CLIFF DWELLING TIMBER
MAKES VALUABLE WOLlNS

AZTEC, N. M. March 27.-Val-
liable violins are being manufactured
from wood taken from the ruins of
the cliff jewellers near this city.
While excavating recently Carl
Morris, research Investigator for the
Smithsonian Institution, found a
number Of perfectly preserved tim.
bers which are believed to have been
used in constructing the homes of
the cliff dwellers.
The timbers were estimated to be
over 1000 years old, and, due to the
dry, hot climate that prevails in the
vicinity of the ruins, the wood has
become so we'll seasoned that high
class violins are being made from it
which have a tone. it is said, equal
to that of an instrument that has
been in use for a number of years.
The instruments are all of fine
quality and are bringing high prices.
