HIOIOGICAN SURVEY MAN
 RETURNS TO NOME

Lawrence H. Palmer. who is in charge of the local Biological Sur vcv Station. and who has been on an sxrtrded trip. to the Buckland river district. returned to Nome during the week. having completed the trip n record time.
 Mir. Palmer states that while on the trip, which was made with dogs and reindeer, experiments were made of feeding the reindeer on a grain ra- ton. and the results obtained were v1ry satisfactory. Thes Biological Agent stated that the reindeer is similar 10 horse in respect to feed ing. that is. when horse is worked steadily a grain ration is necessary besides the feed of hay. The same applies to the reindeer in the matter of feeding grain when worked. in stead of a steady ration or reindeer moss.
 Mir. Palmer states that the rein deer has to be broken to eat grain before good results can be obtained and as this trip has proven the grain fed animal is far superior to those fed solely on a diet of moss.

HIGHEST AND LOWEST
 POINTS IN THE WORLD

The maximum difference of eleva- ton of land in the United States is 14.777 feet. according to the Geolo- gical Survey, of the Department of the Interior. Mount Whitney, the highest point, is 14.501 feet above sea level. and a point in Death Val ley is PIC feet below sea level. These two points. which are both in Cali fornia, are less than 90 miles apart. This difference is small, however. as compared with the figures for Asia. Mount Everest rises 29,002 feet above sea level. whereas the shores of the Dead Sea are 1920 feet below sea level, a total difference in land heights of 3O,292 feet. Mount Ever est has never been climbed.
 The greatest ocean depth yet found IS 32.0SS feet. at point about 40 miles north of the island of Min danao, in the Philippine Islands. The ocean bottom at this point Is there |fore more than 11A miles below the ssummit of Mount Everest.
 The difference in the land heightf liu Europe is about 1s.Sss feet.

THE JOHN BORDEN
 MARATHON CUP RACE

John Bordon, the noted Chicago sportsman and donor of the "John Bordon Cup" while on hunting trip to the Arctic Ocean during the summer of 1916 aboard his palatial yacht Great Bear" was wrecked on Pinnacle Island, small rock prom intory which stands sentinel in Ber- ing Sea midway between Unimak Pass and Nome, at which port he ar rived some few days after his mis- fortune.
 He spent considerable time in Nome that summer and during his stay eyinced a lively interest in our great sport. and few days before leaving he generously offered to do- nate a massive silver loving cup, with as many smaller cups as would be necessary to hold a race annually under the auspices of the Nome Ken mel Club. under the following condi- tions, which were readily accepted:
 
 Bordon Marathon" the distance to be the regular marathon race course of twenty six miles. three hundred and eighty-five yards, and to be run. if possible. under conditions most ideal for making fast time. No par ticular date was set-trail and wea- ther conditions to be the guide. Each year the winner of the speed classic to be presented with one of the smaller trophies and the huge silver cup to become the property of the team owner whose team wins the an. nual contest three times.

were miles away. 1t is equipped
with its own Kitchen and it own
nursing force; it is entered by a
separate door, and is cut off from
the remainder of the hospital by a
long narrow hall which is unused,
and is thus a complete %insulator.
Six graduate nurses form the
nursing corps. These are selected
both for their skill as demonstrated
by their records. and for their per
sonalities.
The hospital can accommodate SO
patients, or more if necessity should
arise. Thus far, however, there
have been no indications that its
capacity will be taxed, in spite of
the fact that all sorts of people are
passing its doors every day, and
that each day sees an increase in
their numbers.
Should a visitor fall ill at one of
the camps Or hotels remote from
Mammoth, arrangements have been
perfected which insure admittance
to the hospital with the least pos
sible delay. In fact, in some in
stances, such patients would be in
bed in Yellowstone Park hospital,
after a long motor ride, in less time
than it would take them in their
home town to arrang for admit
lance to a hospital.

CUT MADE In
RECLAMATION JOBS

Survey of the administrative Of
fees of the bureau of reclamation
conducted by co-ordinates will re-
suit in an annual saving of $1O3,-
900, it has been announced by the
secretary of the interior.
The survey, which was completed
last week, brought about the drop
ping of SO employees in the Wash
ington office of the bureau of recla-
nation thru abolishing the positions
they held. In the Denver office of
the bureau five positions were elm
mated and the employees %discontin-
ued from the rolls, while two en-
ployes at Las Cruces, New Mexico,
were also dropped.
The purpose of the investigation
was to eliminate unsound business
methods in the bureau in order to
save the water users money, TO
protect the interests of the govern
ment, and to advance the interest
of efficient employees. Through the
survey unnecessary work, duplication
of effort, and other unbusinesslike
methods were brought to an end and
DOlh lht WdSHlAS lOH anu DtHNt T
offices were put on an efficient
basis.
Among the positions abolished in
the Washington office as unneces-
sary were: Assistant commissioner,
commissioners assistant, editor and
office assistant, statistician, lecturer,
laboratory aid and a number of cler-
ical places. In Denver the positions
of assistant chief engineers were
eliminated and clerical work as well
as purchasing activities consolidated.
In addition to saving 100000
annually in salaries, other incidental
yearly savings in the bureau include
unnecessary motor truck service in
Washington, $500; material for
packing supplies, $500; travel ex-
pense for lecturer, $500; discontin-
uance of a small Denver publica-
ton, S1,S60; the total being S3,460
a year.
Another important change made
in the functions of the bureau fol-
lowing the survey was the discon-
%tinuance of the unnecessary handling
and review of the legal work of the
bureau. Much duplication of work
in the accounting division was also
eliminated.

HOLD-UP JOE'S LOCATION
PRE-EMPTED BY SPOUSE

Whether Mrs. Hold-Up Joe, spouse
of Hold-Up Joe, alias Jesse James,
succumbed to the doctrine of equal
rights for women, or to the influ-
ence of the b~ob-haired bandits is a
question which will never be an
swered as Mrs. Hold-Up Joe is a
heightened bear and will not be in
terviewed. Certain it is, however,
that when she appeared this season
with her two fat and fuzzy cubs
Mr.. Hold-Up Joe was relegated to a
place about a mile farther down
toward West Thumb on the Old
Faithful-Thumb road in Yellowstone
park, and he now gets very little
of the cargo of sweets carried by
the yellow bus passengers, for Mrs.
Joe las not only preempted his
place of business but carries t the
daily hold-up with a bus ,ss-like
intent that would do credit TO more
than a three-year-old. AS for the
cubs, it's a wonder they don't get
collie, or whatever baby bears have
when they get too much to eat, and
o of a wonder that Hold-Up Joe
ever gets any mOrsels at all. 1t may
be that hardened bachelors will not
fall for the Establishments of the
lady bear and stOutly hold out their
share for the henpecked husband
hard-boiled old bandit that he is.

TWO NATIONAL BANKS
SUSPEND IN CHEYENNE

The First National Bank, and the
Citizens National Bank, both Chey-
enne institutions, suspended bus
mess or Wednesday of last week
and will be closed until their af-
fairs can be checked thoroughly by
the national bank examiners.
The assets and liabilities as shown
by their recent statements amount
to from four and one-half to seven
million dollars each, and they we're
capitalized for 500. OOO<and $780,
600 respectively.
Three principal reasons were Civ
en- for the closing of the banks:
First. extraordinary depreciation
in value. more particularly cattle,
agricultural products and lands.
Second, excessive taxation.
Third. the broad policy adopted
by the banks whereby they undertook
to render helpful assistance to the
smaller banks of the state in an
effort to support the business in
t%erests of the state
