KETCHIKAN PRESENTS
 ACTION OF WHITE

Residents of Ketchikan resented very much the. action of Albert White, of Idaho, United States Mar shal of the First Division in Alaska in dismissing pioneer matron of the federal jail to create position for tho wife of a matron of deputy marshal lately arrived from Seattle
 The protest is as follows Igloo sixteen, Pioneers of Alaska, hereby expresses it's strong disapproval of the action of Marshal Albert White in dismissing without cause Miss Pauline Hartsough, a worthy resi- dent of Ketchikan for 25 years from the position of matron at fed eral jail to make place for the wife of a deputy marshall"

 Going to Fifty Mile to purchase supplies Henderson met Carmack and told of his discovery at Gold button so that Carmack promised to brlng some Indians with him to work the claims. After working some time on Gold Button, Carmack and his Indians went over the divide to Rabbit Creek promising to let Hen- dcrson know if they discovered any thing worth while.
 Carmack and his Indian friends struck it rich' and staked out 2 large section ground as their clam. "Skookum Jim'' and Tag ish Charlie" were with Carmack at this time. They proceeded to file their claims before the superintend- ent of Police and he issued to them the first three records. Carmack made no mention of his discovery to Henderson but went to the stores to secure his supplies and showed the gold they had gotten.
 Henderson made counter claim
 before the Dominion Government
 but which granted him $2O. pei month and the privilege of stalking Z
 large claim upon unoccupied land

WHO DISCOVERED
 KLONDTKE STRIK E

A number of Alaska papers are having mild controversy as to who discovered the famous Klondike strike of 1Ss6-7-8. George carmack lafe of Seattle, heretofore has been credited with uncovering the fam ots| bonanza # of the north. Lately one Robert Henderson living now in

THE REAL DISCOVERY
 OF THE KLONDIKT

The story of the discovery of the klOndike has been told by Alaskans ! but never as it really happened. IL sc far as the mild constroversy las been Waged as to whether Carmack or Henderson discovered the KIon dike, The Alaskan puts in it's word and asserts that neither Carmaclo
 or Henderson made the original dis ccvery of Bonanza claims.
 George Carmack was ''siwashed' by the men of the Inter or. He was a renegade prospector, a fotsam, married" to an Indian woman la ter know as "Carmack Kate" She bore nim children, one of whom con tested in the Washington courts the widows rights of Mrs Carmack of Seattle and the daughter won; se:- clement being made by the widow. 
 From report by the Indians, Car mack was a poor piece of human ity, without shame, credit or stand I ing in that section which he later made famous. He had sunk to such a point of degradation that he and work were strangers. He lived with Kate. sired her children and lived off his woman and her relatives. He could not even get liquor as did other white because of his degrada- ton.
 Out in the hills with Kate, un- able to furnish the simple neces |sities of life for his family, her re-
 latives visited them to supply them
 with moose meat. Resting alongside a small stream, one of the young
 men leaned over to take dirnk and
 noticed a glittering object in the
 water. Taking it out he saw that it
 was gold. He. showed his uncle
 his find and only after long con- ference did they tell Carmack of the find. Hurrying back claims were recorded by Carmack,
 Carmacks share in the discovery was the recording the claims for uE- der the law an Indian could not | hold any mining claims,
 After Carmack sold his claims and [ had plenty, he deserted his mate iii times of proverty and his degradation a1d went to the "outside" where lie lived in affluepee and comfort to the day of his death. Kate died of a broken heart. Though she had plenty of money she pined the loss of the father of her children ''We lived and starved together and I had our hardships together and he is the father of my children. I d. not care for the money it is George want now to share prosperity with as we shared our hardships," were her thoughts and words. But George forgot "Cormack Kate' and married again in Seattle. 7,
 It matters not whether Tender son or Carmack received the credit ,or the discovery. Alaskans know hat "Carmack Kate's" relatives dis covered the gold and by so doing : eventually made possible the separa- ion of this Indian woman who gave Ter all to a man who appreciated t lot nor had any consideration for :er in prosperity. The memory of 'Carmack Kate" will live so long as III Indian remains in Alaska.

The messages were anything but tokens
Of endearnent. The audience was be.

sons slipped out of the room and be-
gan to investigate. In the next state
room they found the broadcasting

Hoover's personal staff, was standing
on chair and talking In disguised
voice through Tnegaphone, held

back of the loud-speaker In the other

turned to the dining room, grabbed a
half.tllled glass of water and dashed
1t through the hole. The program was
over.
The ship learned that Arthur Hach.

sentatives, was observing his thirty
first birthday. At supper the mess at

Quarters Comfortable.
The newspaper men found the Junior
officers quarters very comfortable. Two
were assigned to each room. Furnish
ings and equipment included two sets
of steel wardrobes, desks and chiffon
iers; wide upper and lower hunks, run
ming water and basin, cushioned settee
chairs, electric fans, etc. The officers
showers were close to the rooms.
AS the Maryland neared the Equa-
tor the room became unbearably hot
at night, SO folding cots were pro-
sleep under the stars. Virtually every
body did, except Mr.. Hoover's inme-
diate group. The only drawback to
the deck repose was the necessity for
arising promptly at $40 the next morn
ing with the crew. Decks must be
swabbed down before breakfast, and
all cots had to be cleared away with
in half an hour after reveille.
BY Slumbering on deck the members
OF the party had the opportunity OF
viewing sunrise on the Pacif1c---a sight
equaled only by Pacific sunset. Lining
the rails in colorful pajamas and pic
turesque dressing gowns, the men gazed
spellbound at the o'erspreading fingers
of gold and purple and orange and
pink that reached out across the
heavens with the break of day. Nearby
they could see schools of porpoises at
play and in the misty distance, to port
were the rugged peaks Of the tropical
mainland.
Only the slapping of a mop at their
slippered feet would break that spell
and start the group down hatchways to

as an equal-which Is considered very
unusual gorilla behavior.
But the big awkward orang, whose
behavior development had been stunted
cage mate, had been on very friendly
terms with the light, agile gibbons for
months. When they saw him wrestling
with the gorilla they thought the new
conner was hurting their old friend and
did what they could to rescue him.
They would sneak down behind NGi,
slap him sharply with paws, and be at
the top Of the cage before the gorilla
could turn around. The gibbon Is the
most agile of all animals In the air
It Is likely, according to DR.. William
M. Mann, Zoo director, that O slap
from gibbon hurts, despite the ap-
parent lightness Of his limbs.
N'Gi didn't get mad and seemed to
realize the hopelesSness Of chasing the
lighter creatures. But yesterday, prob
ably In imitation Of Jiggs. the orang.
he has begun to climb to the horizontal
bars, four or f1ve feet above the floor.
He likes 10 sit on bar with his feet
hanging down.. wriggling his toes-an
attitude strongly suggestive of that Of
a small boy. He climbs very awkwardly.
Tormented necessarily.
Once they realized that they could
hit him with inpunity the gibbons be-
gan tormenting him necessarily. DR..
Mann feared that II he lost his head
and turned to return one of these slaps
be. would lose his hold and fall. He
would not land naturally on his feet
like an animal accustomed to live in
taask v.I,, e.
on his back and possibly injure his
spine. It was considered too risky to
leave him where there was any danger
Of falling.
When DR.. Mann went to MOI yester.
day morning his nose was running a
little. This indicated the possibility
of contagion from the crowd which for
the past two days has been continually
in front Of the cage. Germs thrown in
the air by coughing or sneeZing easily
might bring about an attack Of In
nuenza or pneumonia, both of which ere
fatal to gorillas.
N'gi Is to be made the subject of a
comparative psychological study rs
soon as he Is settled In his own quar-
ters. His presence at the National
geological Park gives scientists one of
the. few opportunities they have ever

Behavior to BE Tested.
Arrangements were made yesterday
morning to test N'gi's behavior with
puzzle boxes, delayed responses, and
sense OF discrimination. It also Is
planned to make an emotional study
BY making motion picture records of
his changes Of facial expression. It
long has been deduced from his gen.
eral conduct that the gorilla approaches
far closer to man In intelligence than
any other Anthropoid, but there have
been few direct experiments on which
to base this conclusion.
One of the psychologists who watched
Evening star., 1928-12-09

his behavior yesterday called attention
to the probable significance Of his re-
action to the slaps of the gibbons
Any other Of the higher animals, an
noyed in such a way, probably would
have made pass In the direction of
the fleeing apes regardless OF the
security of his hold. But N'gi displays
the human character Of being able to
think of two things OF once. He seems
to realize that If he hits he will lose
his hold, and that he can't catch the
eibbon anyway. So he makes no at
tempt to fight back, as q result, pos
sibly, of deliberate Judgment.
1t Is probable that Jiggs will be
moved into the glass cage with N'gi,
since the little gorilla is badly in need
of companion to cuddie against at
night. Mr.. Blackburn now is engaged
In building o special cage for both of
them. # the friendship with Jiggs
does not develop as 1t has started q
chimpanzee may be brought here as
q companion. DR.. Mann would have
preferred to keep Jiggs and N'gi In
the larger cage, but It would be i'm.
possible to move the gibbons, who would
die In q few weeks In the forced in
activity Of o small cage.

king ON UPGRADE,
STATEMENT SAYS
Semi. Official Report AlIays
Alarm Over Royal Pa.
TENTS Condition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, December ga most en-
couraging statement was issued SEMI
of1icially tonight at Buckingham Palace
on the condition of King George. 1t
was said that his majesty was certainly
in safer position than he had been
a week ago and that he was today
on the upward grade.
The statement read:
1.-THE King has been Oh the upward
grade today after slightly downward
turn yesterday. progress Is being made,
but it is necessarily a slow and labori-
GUS progress. During the last week
there was great anxiety, due to the
fact that the infection involved the
whole system. Now the physicians are
dealing with localized infection.
Recuperation Difficult.
"At the same time the position is
still one of difficulty because the King
has been Ill for nearly three weeks and
his recuperation powers therefore are
less strong than they were.
During his long illness the life OF
the King has been at times in danger
but His Majesty Is certainly In a safer
position than he was week ago, De-
cause the doctors are dealing with a
local rather than q general infection
involving the whole body.
1.-THE King is holding his own, he has
improved since yesterday. There must
be an ebb and flow in an illness oi
this kind. which must necessarily be
prolonged and tedious. In the last "a
hours there has been more now thar
ebb, Both the needle exploration ane
x-ray examination Friday showed that
there was no appreciable pleural etfu'
sion and therefore there Is no object In
an operation. The five doctors wht
signed tonight's bulletin were In con-
sultation for more than 90 minutes.
1.-TWO bulletins will be issued tomor'
row."
Cold Is Encouraging.
The weather has turned frosty, bu
the atmosphere is bright and cleal
with sunshine. The cold Is easier tt
fight against in the sick room thar
is fog or damp such as settled ovel
the city several nights during the pas
week.
The approaching arrival Of th'
| Prince Of Wales is highly welcome II
| the public. The heir to the thron'
| left Cairo this evening on the fina
stages of his long homeward journe!
from East Africa. Preparations are IL
the making to give him great vel

originally that he would arrive in Lon
don at 5 am. newt Wednesday, but
out of consideration for the task which
such an early hour would impose hi
