INDIAN BOY HAS
 BAD EXPERIENCE
 IN KUSKO WILDS

Living in a tent on the shores of the Kuskokwim river for thirteen days with a great hole in his leg, the re- suit of the accidental discharge of a shotgun at close range, was the ex- perience of an Indian boy twelve years of age who arrived recently at Bethel, where the injured leg was am- putated just above the ankle by Dr. Firestone, formerly in charge of the Bureau of Education hospital at Ak iak.
 Mrs. Heron, widow of the late dep uty marshal at Bethel, who was a nurse before her marriage, took the youth in charge after the operation, remained with him through the long watches while life hung by a slender cord. Infection had set in before the boy reached the doctor but it is thot now his life can be saved.
 The delay in reaching Bethel was due to the fact that the accident oc- cured shortly before the breakup and it was impossible to carry the lad overland, or move him down to Beth el by boat, the river being filled with ice When he finally reached the set tement, the leg was in a terrible con- dition. The shot almost took the foot off-Anchorag Alaskan.

 w. R. Smith, geologist with the D. s. Survey, is expected to return about the middle of June. The survey has secured pack horses for the Smith party in Kanatak.

 Major Martin, pilot of the Seattle 1, and in command of the U. s. Army city from the 16th to the 18th of Apr. Their plane was forced down off Cape Igvak on the 18th, on account of en- zine trouble and when rescued were lowed to Kanatak and taken into the creek here for repairs. Winter wea- ther and Kanatak winds were partly responsible for the prolonged stay. The winds kept the plane in motion so that the old engine could not be re moved and the new engine installed. Ice formed on the creek during the nights of the 23rd and 24th and the plane was frozen in. The west winds held back the tides so that the water did not back up the creek far enough to float the plane out so cradle was built and the pontoons were floated upon it and hauled down the creek to the bay by tractor. The Major left Kanatak in the face of binding wet snowstorm and regular southeaster but made Chignik safely.

To Test Closed Season
 And Pack Tax Laws

Two test cases of the Alaska fish laws are set to be heard before the appellate court at San Francisco early next month, according to an an nouncement made by U. s. District Attorney A. G. Shoup. In both in stances, the validity of the statutes in question is at issue.
 The first case to be heard involves the constitutionality of the territor- ial closed season law on salmon fish cries. This question is raised in the case Of the U. s. vs. the Aux Bay Salmon Canning Go. In the local fed eral district court during the Ketch- ikan term just closed, Judge Reed upheld the law.
 The second case is set down on the Appellate Court calendar for hearing on June 9. In it the validity of the graduated pack tax law on salmon canners' product is attacked This is a suit brought by the territory against the Pacific American Fisheries to col lect the disputed graduated taxes. It also, was decided in favor of the ter ritOry.
 As soon as the original trials were concluded appeals were taken and the clerk of the appellate court notified of the action by telegraph. In order that the situation might be cleared up before the end of the present fish ing season both were entered on the calendar for the summer term-Ju. neau Empire.

To make a perfect landing ami then as the plane was coming to rest, to strike mudhole on the fiai which tipped it up and caused break,ge whilE Nlll require the ordering of new parts rom the outside, was the dis couraging experience of Pilot Ben Eiesvn as he completed the eighth of his selIes cf ten mail flights to Mc- Craft last night.
 Descending at $40 p. m., ? hours and forty minutes from McG .ath, the wheels of the plane met the landing field on the race track on the eastern edge of the field and as shown by the well defined mark of the tail skid had rolled over the field for more than twn hundred feet when the boggy pot was struck. The plane tipped ovec gent ly aud lay on it's wings. The propel- Ter, two wing struts and the rudder were broken. Tn parts have been wired for and it is hoped they will be received in time to prevent delay in making the next regular trip.

But for a scare and few minor bru' scs to the top of his head he was none the worse for the experience.
 Eielson freed himself of his straps ard bounded out of the plane a mom enJ after it turned over. After ex- tricating his passenger, he gave the ship a brief examination and left the field. He was not disturbed by the ac- cident.

Bissel laid particular stress upon the value of the Coast Guard Service, saying, q desire to especially en- phasize the importance Of the work done by the coast guari and the Blu reau of Fisheries boat Elder. It is very questionable whether the flight could have passed through the Aleu- tian Islands without the invaluable as sistance which they rendeed. They placed all their facilities at the dis posal of the flight; their personnel cared for the planes and the pilots, refilled the gas tanks; secured and disseminated weather information; pa trolled the route flown by the planes and awaited them at their destination, always willing to do everything pos sible Few people realize the i'm portance of the part played by the Coast Guard. The value Of their ser vices cannot be over-emphasized
