been made known here By James A.

OLDTMER SAYS ALASKA STAMPEDES ARE COMING;
 ALL GOLD NOT LOCATED

Alaska has not witnessed it's last stampede, in the opinion of John Flygar, oldtimer of the north, who left recently for the states where he will spend the winter. He formerly mined the Fairbanks district and has taken in many stampedes since he first landed in the north.
 ''There will be other stampedes in Alaska" he told a representative of the Ketchikan Chronicle. "You know this is a pretty big territory and there is a lot of ground to be pros- pected."
 But the oldtimer does not expect to be one of the stampeders unless he can stampede in an airplane. He is 6S years old now and while he is still in the best health, he does not fancy trailing a dog team any more. He believes airplane transportation is one of the biggest forward steps recorded in the territory during the many years he has been in the north and that it will play an important part in future development.

Traces Of Old Civilization

Traces of old Eskimo civilization far richer than that of today was found during the summer on the is- lands near the Alaska coast in Ber- ing Sea, by Harry B. Collins, ethnolo- gist and archeologist for the Smith sonian Institution, were revealed on his return to the states from the Arc tic. Ancient villages more preten- tious than today's settlements, long houses made of driftwood and whale bone; bone and ivory carvings of ex- quisite design, and highly decorated utensils, and also weapons. were un- covered by Collins on St. Lawrence and Sledge Islands. Collins said: Tt is probably pre-Russian civiIi- zation, l would say from 300 to 800 years old" While utilization of that early Eskimo and his origin have not been determined, he said there is a close resemblance in the carving im- plements and physical characteris- tics of frozen bodies and of skeletons to the Asiatic. That does not prove they came from Siberia; the Asiatic may have migrated from Alaska in the beginning.
 We actually found houses 16 feet below habitations of this generation and six feet below sea level and bur jed in the silt and sweepings were bits of carved bone and ivory. Some of the bodies of the ancient people were rather well preserved in the ice,' said Collins.

PILOT ASSISTS
 CUPID IN TYING LOVE KNOT

BETHEL-A romance which had it's origin at Juneau, eliminated here yesterday in the marriage of Miss Catherine MacCormack and Walter Andrews, who made the journey from Akiak to Bethel in the cabin plane lof the Anchorage Air Transport, pi- , loted by R. H. Merrill and accompan- jed by Miss Bowen, both of whom att tended the ceremony as witnesses. Mrs. Andrews and Miss Brown went to Akiak several months ago from Juneau to become members of the nursing staff of the bureau of ed- ucation's hospital under Dr. Fire stone, and MT. Andrews followed re- gently, having made the trip from Anchorage to Akiak by airplane.
 The plane made a perfect landing on the ice in the slough here yester- day morning but when an attempt was made to make a turn the ship broke the ice and the three passen- gers received a wetting in making their way to shore.
 A wire received from Pilot Merrill at the Anchorage office of the com pany expresses the belief that re- pairs can be made at Bethel and that the plane will be ready for service again within a couple of days.
 The plane had returned to the low CT Kuskokwim from Fairbanks for its third load of passengers from the Nyak camp of the New York Alaska Gold Dredging company on Bear creek.-Anchorage Times.

SON OF WRANGELL MAN PASSES IN
 RENO, NEVADA

A recent issue of the Eagle. pub lished at Fallon, Nevada, contains an account of the death of Guy Zilkey, who died at Reno, Nevada, following an attack of acute appendicitis. He was son of R. J. Zilkey who has been a resident of Wrangell since 1910. The Nevada papers account of the funeral follows :
 "A magnificent floral display, Epis- copal funeral services, musical pro- gram and full military honcrs marked the last respects paid Guy L. Zilkey when large numbers of his be- reaved friends and fellow Legion naires gathered at the Fraternal Hall at ? P. NJ. Sunday. Rev. J. B. Her sey, Episcopal pastor at Carson City, officiated.
 "A farewell salute was fired at the cemetery by the military escort of members of the Churchill post of the American Legion as a final tribute to their soldier comrade. Six mem- bers of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion and members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars formed an additional escort.
 "The front of the lodge room in the Fraternal hall was banked with flowers and greens and many friends came to pay their last respects. The lodge room was filled to capacity.
 Two hymns by a mixed quartet and two solos, with piano process sional, combined to make a beautiful and moving musical program.
 Guy Zilkey, who has been a we'll liked and respected resident of Churchill county, died Tuesday, Oc tober 16, at Reno following an att tack of acute appendicitis. He was born in Bend, Ore, July 29, 1893, and came here following the world war with an exceptional service rec ord behind him. In France he had been decorated three times, twice with the French croix de guerre, and once with theAmerican distinguished service cross. He was a member of the local American Legion post and his active service will be sadly missed.
 ''He was sergeant in Company L, 362nd Infantry, 91st division of the A. E. F. The distinguished serv- ice cross was awarded him for brav- cry near Stennbrugge, Belgium, Oc- tober 31, 1918. When recognizing badly shattered forces he took com nd of the location and by proper dis tribution of those under his com mand of the location and by proper sisted by two comrades, he attacked and drove out a machine-gun nest that was holding up his advance, re- porting the situation to his company comander by establishing an efficient union. The French decorations were awarded for extraordinary heroism in action.
 MT. Zilkey was an associate in the firm of Eldredge & Hursh and had been with that firm for several months. Prior to that time he was employed in the hardware depart ment of the I. H. Kent Company.
 Pleasant in his contacts, indus. trious, interested in community ac. tivities and known to be honest and distribution of those under his com. mand ably protected his Hanks. As. capable, MT. Zilkey was regarded as one of the most highly respected | nf hA

Viuidness of Writing
Made Herodoius Great

The true greatness of Herodotus Is
evidenced by the fact that he mas al.
ways been readable. This Greek died
about 1850 years ago, yet his history
Is much more fascinating than many
dull and ponderous tones penned Dy
innumerable successors who have llVeu
nearer the Modern age.
Many writers who have seemed great
In their own generation have become
almost unreliable. Herodotus began
to write and to travel at an early age.
These two interests apparently ap-
pealed to him more than anything else
in life and, fortunately, he could graf
ify them. He Travelled through all the
lands where Greek was spoken, IN
Europe, Asia Minor and the islands OF
the Aegean. He Travelled through Per
sla, visiting lowlands and highlands.
He saw Palestine, made a long visit
in Egypt, and in Europe struck far
into the forest lands of the barbarians.
He talked with all sorts Of people, in
spected the ruins of the fallen civiliza-
lions, noticed the differences between
nations. He was the ideal traveller,
quick to note the odd things that dis
tinguished one people from another,
but more interested In the deeper and
subtle differences that are less ap-
parent. However, he was greater
writer than historian. Despite the
solid merits of his history 1t lives be-
cause 1t is so beautifully and so Wv
idly written.-KansaS City Times.

Hard to Get Exact
Size of Hdilstones

The maximum possible size OF
single Maidstone cannot be stated pos
itiyely for the simple reason that
there Is not always a trained oDserv-
er on hand to measure every large
hailstone which falls. Hailstones
larger than a persons fist and weigh
ing more than a pound have several
times been reported on good author
ity, according to the United States
weather bureau. During storm ID
Natal in 1874 hailstones fell which
weighed a pound and a half. They
passed through corrugated iron roof
as If 1t had been made Of paper. Hall
stones IA inches in circumference fell
in New South Wales In February,
1847. At Cazorla, Spain, on June 49,
1920, houses were crushed under
blocks Of ice, some of which are said
to have weighed four and q half
pounds. In October, 1914, a hall
storm at Cette, France. wrecked
houses and sank vessels. But these,
like all reports dating back many
years, must be taken with grain Of
salt. The unframed observer often
unconsciously exaggerates. Then, too.
some Of these reports may refer to
cases where masses of Ice resulted
from the coalescence, after falling, of
a number of smaller hailstones lying
closely packed together on the ground.
