OF the 20 prisoners reported missing
may be amoug those whose bodies
lie in the ashes of the fiimsy dor
mitory building.
The fire brought forth its stories
of individual heroism among the
prisoners.
Many Heroes
One or two related a story of see
ing a prisoner vainly attempt to
carry a crippled friend to safety.
Finally, they said, he found he was
unable to lift him and fed to save
his own life.
Another story was told OF a man
who escaped the flames and on
looking into the building through q
window saw his buddy still Hainly
trying to fight his way out. Intent
on rescuing him, the man outside
dashed back into the building. As
far as was learned. both were
burned to death. 1t was impossible
to learn their names.
The fire was believed to have
started from defective wiring in the
commissary. where smoke was first
discovered.

At this juncture. William O. Nal

gan his efforts to save the other

O'Malley and Tony Vacilio. also of

alarm they rushed to the huge bolt

He ordered the guards to open all

CONSERVATION MUST OBTAIN

Alaska has a great asset in her wild life; a remarkable variety and number of the notable birds, large mammals, and fur bearers is to be found within the confines of the Ter ritory. From the standpoints of pleas ure, sport and commerce, a policy of conservation through wise use must obtain if the breeding stocks of the various forms of wild life are to be maintained in suitable numbers. This of course means some regulation, and real appreciation by these who are taking game or fur bearers that undue killing or trapping in violation of law, may bring down the axe on the neck of the golden goose

INSPIRING SPEcTAcLEs

"We were lucky in seeing many volcanic peaks in action; Akutan Peak, Makushin, Bogoslof, Shishaldin, Mageik and Katmai, all performed as we passed them at various times. Akutan Peak was throwing out large quantities of black smoke, and I have seldom seen more inspiring spect- acle than the one presented to us while sailing in Uyak Bay on Kodiak Island. It was evening, with skies clear, and far across the Shelikof Straits, the magnificent mountain range of the Alaska peninsula stood forth as clear as a well cut cameo a wonderful silhouette.
 From the crater of Katmai and Mogeik ascended high in spiral and mushroom effects, the gases andsteam from the bosom of Mother Earth, a behavior not yet known in all it's de- tails to man, and surely one to bring to the onlooker a feeling that a Hand mightier than that of any human be- ing controls the throttle of the Uni verse.

WORKING ON SHORT FUNDS

Tt is gratifying to learn in many localities, however, that the work be- ing done by the Alaska Game Com mission is accepted in good spirit This Commission is working under limited financial program.

"The hospitality shown OFT party everywhere, was proverbially of the generous, spontaneous Alaska type and we are under deep obligations to many persons and organizations for their advice and aid. We shall want to come again.
 From Seward we go to Fairbanks, and go down the Yukon from Circle on the 18th to st. Michael and Nome. We will return to Fairbanks and will probably return to the coast over the Richardson highway, about Aug ust 15."
