ANY plans to secure highest pro-
.duction must concern itself primar-
Dy with power-human as well as
mechanical.
The highest powered sustained
activity for humans is possible
only when the creative resources
of workers are released-when the
focus is on creative work. Labor
wants to make it possible for each
worker to make his own time stud
les or anything else that will con-
tribute to the quality of his work
manship.
The first step toward this end Is
organization of the work group TO
deal with common problems collec-
lively. Under collective mainten-
ance Of standards of justice and
right, the workers are free to give
themselves unrestrictedly to pro-
duction problems. This, labor main

GEOLOGICALPARTY BACK STATES FROM SURVEY IN NORTH
FlTZGERALD AND SMITH FOUND solL IN ARCTIC RESERVATION
 IN LARGE QUANTITIES

SEATTLE, Sept. IT. (P)-Gerald FitzGerald, head of the federal geOlo- gical survey party arrived at Victoria from nome on a recent steamer and said oil exists in the Point Barrow district and can be developed econo- mically if the field will produce oil in a large scale.
 we spent the spring and summer mapping the Upper Colville river dis trict, formerly totally unexplored country, and the south west corner of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4. We mapped geologically, and topographi- cally seven thousand miles of wholly unexplored country to determine the extent of the oil area.
 "This we accomplished, as our mis- sion was to determine the source of the oil, rather than whether 1t can be produced in paying quantities" said MT. FitzGerald.
 'The results of our investigation can't be given now. We travelled Ia thousand miles over the trails by dog team, six hundred miles by canoe.'
 FitzGerald, and w. R. Smith came from Washington in March and went into the country via Seward, Nenana, and the Kotzebue district, picking up Fay Delzene and W. R. Blankenship as mushers, making party of four The party proceeded up the Noatak across the Brooks range and into the headwaters of the Colville river. From there they went down the Colville to the Arctic ocean.

Naturalist Tells of Strange Forms
 of Bird and Animal Life in the Arctic

In the following dispatch, transmit ted to the National Geographic society from the MacMillan Arctic expedition by radio and distributed to the Asso- ciated Press, Dr. Walter N. Koelz, the chief naturalist of the expedition, tells for the first time of strange forms of life the explorers have found in the far north:
 we had ample opportunity for hard work at Etah, Greenland, and collect ed there many fine specimens of bird and animal life which we are sure will be of great interest to the National Geographic society.
 At Etah the water was cloudy with jelly fish of diaphanous gray but just before we left there appeared many winged snails. These curious creatures float through the water, and propell themselves as they go along.
 "One of the interesting aquatic ami malls is the liparis which resembles a bullhead, but has modified it's central fins into a powerful sucker by means of which it attaches itself to the rock. The suction is so powerful that con- siderable effort is required to dislodge it.
 'tYou will understand of course, that I am giving popular account of some of our finds of greatest interest to the layman; many of our specimens will require considerable scientific study for classification and further analysis.
 There has been collected good ser ies of Greenland red poll in juvenile plumage. This species is scantily represented in most of the museums of the United States and birds taken

in summer are very rare in American collections.
 Bunks are Covered
 "A series of purple sandpipers have also been obtained in their first juve- nile plumage which is unknown to number of ornithologists. The status of the mandts guillemot cepphus man dte has been established as a sub-spec- ies of cepphus grylle and it's summer range delineated on the Greenland shore. We work all day and often spend the night in the field. I am sleeping on deck because my bunk is covered with specimens.
 "The region around Etah has spec ial attractions for botanist. Some fifty specimens of Towering plants can be found in bloom in a few minutes walk. Topples, pinks, dandelions, dasies and buttercups can be gathered beside the glaciers which touch the oceans edge. In places the Kentucky blue grass forms thick carpets, though in general the plant does not grow tall, the willow bushes being only one or two inches high in favored locatians where it is sheltered.
 Timothy grows so luxuriously that an American farmer would be delight ed at the fine crop of hay.
 Besides the larger plants there are lichens, which are the most conspic- uous plant growths here. The drape the cliffs completely, up to a height of 2,OO0 feet, in brilliant hues of or ange and purple which, in mosiac with green patches of grass and black, where the birds have kept the rocks bare, produces a spectacle of color riv- alling that of the chiefs bad lands"

CARL BERG SUICIDES BY HANG ING SUSPENDED FROM

Another victory for moonshine!

Another victory for moonshlne.
 Hanging from three foot length of light rope, attached to a common black clothes hook, Carl Berg, aged A years, was found dead at mid night last night in an upper room of the Seward hotel, by room mate, Hans Simonson. Death was attributed at the inquest as suicide by means of strangulation.
 Carl Berg apparently was in a Jo- vial mood and not intoxicated an hour prior to the finding of his body, according to a number of To- cal people who talked with him shortly before midnight. He had been remaining in the hotel thru out the entire day on account of hay ing been in a fight, the night previ- ous, Tuesday, while in an intoxicat- ed condition, during which time he had received a black eye. He did not want to appear on the street as he was very sensitive, and due to his eye disagreement, it is stated, he was having his meals brought to the room. Following the occasional drunks he periodically went on, he always was morOse, accumulated a melancholy temperament and be- came heartily disgusted with himself, Albert Johnson, his partner of nine months, stated this morning.
 Body Was Still Warm.
 Upon the discovery of the body in the room by Hans Simonson, Os- car Dahl, proprietor of the hotel was notified immediately, who in turn called Marshal Reed. Dr. Baughman arrived shortly after the marshal, both conducting an investigation of the body and room.
 With the exception of the lower extremities of the body, it was still warm, but it was ascertained death had arrived a considerable period before the discovery. The clothes hook, the common variety made from heavy wire, and which it would seem impossible, could support a heavy weight, was screwed into the wall at a height of approximately five feet. Attached to the hook was a nine thread, small rope, such as is often used for flashing purposes This rope was about six feet long The dead man was five feet and nine inches in height, and when found was hanging slumped down, in more of kneeling position with his face against the wall. There was a heavy red indenture around the neck caused no doubt, from the rope loop which had a double knot in it.
 Was industrious Workman.
 Carl Berg was of Swedish descent , and, according to MT. Johnson had taken out his first citizenship pa pers in Seattle. He had been in the Unlteu OtdIeS, IL IS DeHeVeu LOT the last 20 years. AS far as local knowl edge is concerned, the only living relatives he has are four brothers all living in Sweden. It was stated he was a member of the Knights oi Pythias, fraternal order, having join ed the organization in some small town either in Oregon or Washing ton. This could not be ascertained definitely late this afternoon.
 He arrived in Seward around July 4, on the steamer Northwestern in company with Albert Johnson. To gether they secured station job on the Seims- Carlson cutoff, Sew
