FISH HATCHERY PLANTING
 EGGS IN ALASKA WATERS

More than 1.5OO,OOO humpback and cohoe salmon fry were shipped out from the Territorial Fish Hatch cry during a single week recently for transplanting in several streams or lakes acording to a statement made by Supt. Charles D. Garfield. More than 100000 of these were sent to Warm Springs Bay, Chath- am Straits, for planting in Baranof Lake on the gasboat Iowa and the same vessel left Juneau later with 50o,o0O cohoe fry for planting in Hilda and sprague Greeks on Stephens Passage.
 Plants of fry and eyed eggs have been made in Baranof Lake during the past two years and the results said Mr. Garfield. The hatchery forces have kept accurate watch over the experiment and the progress made is said to have been highgly gratifing. ....*..
 The Iowa, before it returns to Jueau from its tripto Hilda and Sprague Greeks, will make an exam ination of Prospect Greek, Snettish- am Bay, to gather data relative to the placing of rack in that stream to take humpback eggs and if prac- tical establishment of a temporary eyeing station to treat the eggs in the field. Field operations of this character can be carried on at about one-half the expence of hatchery work if the natural conditions will permit, said Mir. Garfield.
 Last season approximately 16,- 100000 fry and eyed eggs were planted in various streams and lakes by the Hatchery officials The work will not be as extensive this year, according to Mir. Garfield. It is now planned, he said, to plant between 10,o0O,0O0 and 100000 eyed eggs and fry.

Mining Classic

The story of Daly's development of the Premier mine is a classic in the history of Alaskan mining oper- ations. Daly took over the property after William Boyce Thompson )f New York had put s150,oO0 into the property. only to be told by expert mining engineers that the enterprise was doomed.
 Daly backed by R. K. Neil of Spokane took over the property and in a very short time uncovered some of the best ore deposits in Alaska. Since that time the Premier mine has been one of the best pay ing if it size in the North.

SEATTLE CHAMBER COMMERCE SEEKS ALASKA HIGHWAY AID

The following resolution was re- gently adopted by the Senate Chan Der of Commerce: WHEREAS, The budget derector in the last Congress allowed only S465 ,000 for construction of roads in Alaska, this amount being so barely sufficient for the mainten- ance of the present highways that Congress increased it to about S700, 900, and whereas, at the same time the director allowed an operating deficit of s1,26O,OOO for the rail- road and an additional $1,OOO,OoO for railroad construction work, and i Whereas, so long as insufficient funds are provided to build roads : to points where tonnage already exists for the railroad and for the purpose of furnishing means of transportation and travel to these districts where important develop ment would take place if the same could be had, the government will have to continue to make operating deficit appropriations and the gen eral progress of the Territory will be greatly retarded, and
 Whereas, under the Federal High way Act and Post Office Road Act there is a fund of approximately s100,O00,O00, the former act pro viding for distribution of these funds among the states upon a basis of Is on population 1-3 on area and 1-3 on road mileage. and
 Whereas. if Alaska is placed un- der the provisions of the Act there would be made available from the fund approximately S8,0O0,0O0, and
 Whereas. the American Road Builders Association assembled in ] Chicago in February, 1922, and a. gain in January. 1928. passed a res olution urging Congress to extend the Act to Alaska; Col. J. G. Steese, President of Alaska Road Commis- sion. testified before the House l Committee on Roads strongly fa- voring the same; the Alaska Del egate proposed an amendment pro- viding for the extension upon the basis of 1-4 of the area which would bemore advantageous than the 1-3 l allotments, it is therefore
 Resolved by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce that the extension of the Federal Highway Act, with the proposed amendment. to Alaska will greatly assist in not only providing for the construction of feeders to the government railroad, thus put ting it upon supporting basis, but for the progress and development of the territory, therefore action to this effect is strongly favored and like action is urged upon all kindred bodies and associations, and it is further
 Resolved, that copies of these resolutions be forwarded to the Gov ernor of Alaska for presentation to the legislature now in session in Juneau; the memorial of joint re- solution may be enacted for sub- mission to Congress, to the Dele gate from Alaska, the President Of the Alaska Road Commission, the United States Chamber of Com merce, American Road Builders i Association and other interested par ties. .

SHERMAN ROGERS ON ALASKA


 So far as social conditions are concerned turnout Alaska. they are not different from those in any other part of the country where the Stars and Stripes float, says Sher- man Rogers in one of his special Alaska articles, published in The Outlook,
 The homes 1 visited were furnish ed as well as those in the states; in fact, on an averge, I think, better. Probably it might be well to explain why: There is no poverty in Alaska; begging is unheard of and unnecess- ary. While it is true that there is no ostentatious display of wealth, neither do you meet with the pitt able eases of poverty that we So often meet with in metropolitan cities in the states.
 The citizens of the territory are well dressed, well hammered, ex- tremely well read, and as far as hospitality is concerned, they have few equals. .-."
 In fact, to make long story short, from a standpoint of schools, social conditions, stores hotels and modern economic life, any part Of Alaska from Ketchikan to Fairbanks will come up to par with any like distance in the states.
 I don't want to overlook another very interesting feature Of Alaskan life. In ratio to population, I make the carefully studied statement that there is no part of the world where as many magazines are read. There are large news stores in every Alas kan town and city. Magazines are piled high on all news stands as soon as the boa. arrives, and boats twice a week while 1 was in the territory
 EverOne reads these publications from cover to cover. and I have never spent four months among better informed people than I did this summer in Alaska. I could en- gage in conversation with anyone from the mayor of a town to a prospector forty miles from rail- way, and they could put up an in telligent argument on any question concerning the public welfare that was receiving attention in American publications.
 The territory has excellent news papers, every town of more than five hundred population having a daily newspaper with Associated Press service.
 My general impression of the people of Alaska is that they are delightfully."- big-hearted, extremely frank. and engagingly courteous.
 They have their petty quarrels amongs themselves, quite true; but let an outsider mix in, and they im- mediatly stand shoulder to shoulder. All in all they are that same wond- erfully hospitable type that were so numerous in the west twenty years ago.

TOMB OF TUTANKHAMUM

Douglas Stewart. director of the museum of the Carnegie institute, reports the liveliest interest on the part of the public in the life of ancient Egypt. The discoveries in the tomb of Tutaakhamum at Lux or have, he says made the history of 35 centuries ago present day news. Public curiosity has been a. reused in civilization Of which most people had never heard, and the visitors are fascinated by the physical mementoes of a long gone race.
 The largest exhibit in the mus cum is the remains of a Nile boat of an admiral, buried with him according to the custom of inter ring the tools of trade with the dead. There is not nail in this boat It Is fastened together by wood en pins dovetailed into the timbers, and by thongs. l. dates from 400 B. C.. 800 years before Tutankha- mems time, or 500 years before Abraham went to UT of the Chal- dees.
 Even older is one of several kohl pots made about 500 years B. C. which were used to contain eyehd paint for the Egyptian beauties of the court. It is covered with a very thin layer of pure gold, similar to the gold found in Tutanlhamen's tomb by Lord Carnarvon.
 Bronze mirrors appropriately find a place beside the eye paint pots. Nearby a razor of the eighteenth dynasty is seen to be precisely the same model as the old style razor of today, working on a swivel handle, and proving that barbars shaved their customers 25GO years ago just as they do today. A group of fishhooks of 1880 B. c. con stitutes another exhibit where the design has not changed in B centuries.
 The exhibits of ancient Egyptian pottery show that the shapes in use in Egypt of today are exactly those used in Tutankhamen's time. The water pots have the same point ed bottom necessary to press into the sand to keep them upright,
 The exhibits in the Carnegie mus cum are mostly from TeiI-el-Amarna the capital of Pharaoh Ikhnaton, which he built when his refusal to worship other gods than the sun god led him to leave Memphis. Tell-el-Amarna was abandoned on his death and the return of his success or to the ancient worship at Memphis. This site. which is 160 miles south of Cairo was exca- vated by the Germans before the war and since then by the Egypt exploration fund to which the Car negie museum of Pittsburgh has contributed.
 Besides mummified baby, 2 number of mummy cases, and sev- eral pieces of decorative in which the designs and coiors are as per feet today as they were when firs' painted, the exhibit has nummified cats, several scarabs, one with ar inscription from the book of dead and many smaller antiques of ths different dynasties.
 Director Stewart has added to rhs collection on display copy of 2 beautiful necklace of the Princes: Knoumit, which will be of value to designers of jewelry by affordine them 8 true type of ancient Egyp

Locating and photograpbing undls-

of Alaska are the latest uses to which
the airplane has been put, says Amerl-
can Forestry, quoting tile United
States forest service. We read:
] 1T has long been known that there
are many lakes on the headlands and
islands traversed by the inside pas
sage between Seattle and Skagway
that do not appear on any map. Dur
ing the New York; Nome flight made by
army aviators, lakes were frequently
sighted which could not be found on
the latest and most authentic maps Of
the territory. Tales of unknown water
bodies are constantly being brought
in by trappers and prospectors. Less
than year ago lake four and one
half miles long and one.half mile wide
was discovered mt the head Of Short
bay. This lake has over 1000 acres Of
surface area and is less than one and
one-qnarter miles from tidewater, yet
because Of the surrounding territory's
rough topography has remained un-
known and unnamed. Recognizing
that many others of these lost lakes

WOODEN SHIPS HAVE "KHEEs"
Right Angle Timber Brace, Important
Part Of Vessel. Named for
Human LEG Joint.

Tn these days when flapper slang jug
giles with sayings like ''the eats pa
janus" and "the bees knees" how
many boys and girls know anything
about ships knees. Ships knees, how
ever. are fact and not fancy. This
is an exceedingly important item in
the construction Of a wooden ship.
A ship knee Is risht-angled wooden
brace used to give strength to the
framing. and is fashioned from the
natural crook OF tree formed by u
heavy. shallow horizontal root and n
section Of the trunk. Knees when I'm
isled are sometimes as much as six
or seven feet high and many times are
four feet high.
The tremendous Impetus to wooden
shipbuilding brought about by the war
las resulted In the establishment OF n
suwmill at Portland, Ore, designed ex'
clus.vely for the finishing OF ship
knees. The timber preferred is second
growth Douglas fir. found growing In
shallow soil. so that the roots turn on
at right angles Ia the trunk and thus
give the proper shape. The standard
lied wooden ship requires some two
hundred knees of all sizes, while an
other type of wooden ship, also under
construction. requires more than 100
knees.-Amerlcan Forestry.
