Many Disillusioned Boys Are Taken by Police,
 Hungry, Destitute
WILLING TO RETURN HOME
Seeking Handouts and Bed, They Are Glad
 to Go Back

CHICAGO, April G. Now that whooping redskins specializing in scair removals no longer infest the roman tic plains of the West and the masked bandit who held up stage coaches has gone never to return, Young Amer ica, still hot on the trail of adventure comes to Chicago to hunt bandits as a means of gaining undying fame and glory. Also, the more practical adven ture hunters see in bandit killing hero an easy step into fame and fortune with the movies.
 Chicago police arrested approximate ly 1000 runaway boys during the last year, according to report by the Chi cago Christian Industrial League. All were here in quest of adventure. Most of them were out to "get" men of the Terrible" Tommy O'Connor type And all of them, police say, were glad to be sent home to dad, "three squares"-and the woodshed-after a few days of bandit hunting in this me tropolis.
 Many PenniIess, Hungry
 Most of the boys picked up here, the report shows, are found penniless and hungry, in line with the "State street 'boes,'" looking for hand out" In most cases, according to the report the youthful adventure seeker finds that there is little thrill to hunting "bad men," when there are no buffa. loes or deer around to provide steaks and chops to be roasted over a camp fire. And when the stomach begins to feel empty the lust for blood van. ishes, and the boy is ready to go home.
 Instead of falling off, however, the number of boys running away from home in quest of adventure is on the increase.
 There has been an astonishing in. crease in the last year or two in the number of very young fellows to be found in the ranks of the idlers and unemployed who frequent the Hops

BUFORD PARTY ENROUTE
 MAY REACH COAST TODAY

The Alaska railroad headquarters in Anchorage has received definite adivee that sixty-four passengers on the steamer Buford which sailed from Seattle Tuesday, July 24, car rying the San Francisco trade dele gation, will make the overland trip from Seward to Anchorage and re turn. They are due at Seward this week, perhaps today. This number will be augmented along the way and will probably be increased to 100 by the time the party arrives in Anchorage.
 In a letter to the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce from L. J. Calender, director of the domestic trade bureau he states: This dele gation of San Francisco business hSH lS NlSllllIS a4dShd 4Oi IHS puI- pose of making acquaintances and renewing old ones. San Francisco had a warm spot in her heart for the territory, and we cherish with pride the important part San Fran cisco had played in the development of our great region. .~.-.
 We now come wooing, so to speak; that is to say, we want to become more intimately associated with you in commercial and social ways.
 Inadequate shipping facilities we feel have had a retardant effect upon our relations and we believe that with the rehabilitation of Alaska's industries ship operators will find it profitable with our help to main tain regular schedules from San Francisco to and from the ports of Alaska.

LONE MARINER ANNOUNCES
 PLANS TO CIRCLE GLOBE

LOS ANGELES, Aug 2-Harry Pidgeon, 56-year-old mariner, who sailed alone from Los Angeles harbor eighteen months ago for the Mar quesas islands in a thirty-six foot yawl, has decided to extend his trip to a voyage around the world, a 33 ,000 mile voyage, according to a letter received from him at the New Hebrides. Since he visited the Mar quesas islands twelve months ago, Pidgeon has called at Tahiti, Society islands, Samoa, Fiji islands and the New Hebrides.
 Pidgeon is now on the way to Aus tralia and New Zealand. From there he plans to sail to the East Indies China and Japan, thence south and westward to the east coast of Africa. From the Cape of Good Hope he plans to attempt ths dangerous di- rect route to Cape Horn and then up the west coast of South America, he says.
 In the letter Pidgeon describes the hardships he went through in his lone voyage in the small craft he built here. The letter tells of num- erous battles with the elements, of careful measures taken to obtain food and water, of dangers met in fever-infested villages and of the savages.
 Fiji islanders, said to be the most feared cannibals of the south seas, proved friendly to Pidgeon, whose previous opinion the Fijians, obtain ed from reading novels of the South Seas, materially improved.
 Pidgeon, who learned navigation by reading books on the subject, first attracted attention several years ago by announcing he would attemtp to sail to Honolulu in a small craft without companion. Many persons laughed at him and others begged him not to attempt the trip However, he set sail and in a few weeks word was received that he had safely landed.

A party of tourists from New York and other Eastern cities, who made the trip over the trail to Fairbanks arrived in Nenana last night and left for the south early this morning, their intention being to return to the coast by way of the railroad. They are travelling in a coach attached to 6 freight train. The lady members of the party were not as well pleased with the trail trip as they were led to believe they would find it and they are returning to the coast somewhat disappointed in consequence.

FEDERAL SCHOOL CHIEFS
 DISCUSS REINDEER NEEDS

A market for the government reindeer was the most important issue discussed at the conference of the superintendents of the govern ment school districts in Alaska and U. s. Commissioner of Education Ti- gert at Anchorage recently acord- ing to C. W. Hawkesworth, superin- tendent of Government Schools in the Juneau district.
 Superintendents of government schools attending the conference were: Ben Mozee from the Anchor age district, Gean Dupertius from the Nome district, Earl Forrest from the Kuskokwim district, and C. W. Hawkesworth from the Southeastern Alaska district.
 The superintendents from Nome and the Kuskokwim stated that they have more reindeer meat available at the present time then can be ship ped. The U. S. Bureau of Education ship Boxer is equipped to take out a small cargo only. The necessity of refrigerators capable of handling large meat shipments was pointed out in the discussion, as a means of solving the problem.
 Several minor matters concern ing the system of education was also taken up.
 The conference was not for dis eussing important measures in the work in Alaska so much as a get together meeting for the U. s. Commissioner of Education and the superintendents in Alaska.

GETS DATA
 ALASKA HUNTING COSTS

Ernest P Walker, chief fur and U. S. game warden who was in Seward recently enroute to the westward is compiling data in re- lation to the value of game and fur to Alaskans and gave some interest ing facts in regard to the money spent in the Territory by outside sportsmen.
 In response to questionaire sent out by the biological survey, A outside sportsmen who have hunted in Alaska on fifty-two trips reported expenditures in the Territory total ing $107,586.50. Of this sum s5,O01 was for licenses and export fees. The remaining S102 ,5S5,5O was paid to Alaskans for guides, outfits, transportation, curios etc This aver ages about s1,972.S7 per trip. Three hundred and twelve game animals were taken at an average cost of $328.70 per animal. Of the A in dividuals who reported seven have become financially interested in the Territory. :..: :.. ....
 It is pointed out by MT. Walker that the money derived from this source is at no cost to Alaskans. and by properly building up the game supply it can become a still greater attraction. Mr Walker declared that by letting it be known that Alaskans have the greatest wild life field remaining today we could profit much more in the future than we have in the past. ...:
 The returns received are from only a small portion of hunters who have been to the Territory the past few years.
 Scientific explorations and pho tographic expeditions which spend as much or more were not included in the returns.
 MT. Walker is now compiling data showing the benefits derived to the Territory by big game hunters, and by conservation of game. He believes that the game and fur is one of the Territory's greatest assets and that its conservation lies with the people and not with the officials. Every town should have an area in it's inn mediate vicinity where it would be unlawful to hunt at any time, and where game could find a refuge by man. This would in- crease interest to the tourist, and would result in better hunting for residents as the overflow would be available for local sportsmen.

should be regarded as common car
