JOE JACKSON PROMOTES
 CHICKAMIN SECTION
(Hyder Herald)

Joe Jackson, whose exjloits in mine promotion, as well as his re- puted discovery of the mineral riches of Texas Creek, have made his name a household word in local mining circles, is again on deck af- ter a period of temporary obscurity, with a new mining venture, this time in the Chickamin River area, according to reports from Ketchi- kan.
 As will be recalled by Herald readers, Jackson left Hyder for the south last fall with options on a number of properties in the Texas Creek and other sections of the dis trict, with the intention of inter- esting capital in their development. So far as can be learned this prof ect was not successful. It appears however, that Joe has succeeded in securing considerable backing for a scheme to prospect the Chickamin River section and is now in Ketchi- kan making preparations to launch the proposed expedition.
 Jackson, according to the reports, claims to have the backing of cer- tain we'll known steamship inter- ests, or parties associated there with, and has been supplied with $2,0O0 in cash, two tons of sup plies and also motor boat for use in transporting the supplies to the scene of his proposed prospecting activities.

SCHOOL NOTES

Frosh class with Miss Plank went on a picnic last Sunday at Wrangell Beach. Beisdes playing Kick the Can and Hide and go Seek, the students amused themselves by digging clans. Hot dogs, sand wiehes, hamburger, salad, cookies and fruit had a great share in mak- ing the picnic big success.
 
 The 7th and Sth grades went oil field trip last Friday for the pur- pose of studying trees. The class left at noon and their investigations occupied the entire afternoon. Each student took his own lunch.
 General science class under Supt Rasmussen, made a short field trip out to F. G. Hanford's place Tues day afternoon to investigate three tame" wild geese reported to have been stopping there for several days. The class found the geese and were able to get within ten feet of them. They were identified as white fronted geese, a species much smaller than the Canada goose usu- ally found here. Evidently the Han ford visitors have wintered in some park in the south where wild birds are fed and protected through the winter and in that way have be- come tame to a certain extent.

SEWARD MERCHANT REFUSED
 SELL BANANAS TO TOURIST

Printers Ink, published in Chica- go, recently contained an article entitled Alaskan Merchandising Slants' which was written by Hi ram Blauvelt, wholesale coal dealer of Chicago, while on a hunting trip for big game in southwestern AL aska last fall. The article was written in a tent 70 miles back of the Alaska Railroad and when the author says, ''it was blowing and showing like Arctic he'll" The ar ticle has to do with business condi- tions in general and in Alaska in particular and says in part
 Tt seems to me one thing that is needed throughout American sell ing today is the courage of our price. Customers come in and ask impossible things, so that often manufacturers and retailers get cold feet on their prices, which, when all the surrounding conditions are considered are usually absolute ly fair and just.
 "The episode of an Alaska retail CT certainly sets a cogent example for us all He keeps store in Seward, Alaska. During the sum- mer a tourist, a lady from San Francisco who had come up on the boat was shopping" in his estab- lishment. She wanted to know the price of bananas. He replied; Sixty cents a dozen.'
 "The lady remonstrated, saying that down at San Francisco bananas were only thirty cents a dozen, and she thought it was an outrage, en- tirely forgetting that the 2,00O- mile sea journey with it's eonse- quent freight and spoilage, might possibly have something to do with the difference in cost. She browsed around the shop pricing things and finally came back and wanted to buy a dozen bananas. The store h6p6T Ilnd1ly ICpilSN. ANos AA' "hi I would not cheat you or any GUS toner that comes into my store for the world. Buy your bananas in San Francisco. It wouldn't be fair for me to sell you, the way you feel about my prices
 And he wouldn't sell her any thing in his store. The story got around the town and he gained a great deal of public confidence among his steady trade because of 1t. On the other hand, if he had broken his price he would have no end of trouble in the opposite di- rection.
 Everywhere in the world people seem to have the idea that they can buy somewhere else cheaper than right in their home market, home stores, or home town. Very often they can't. It's hard to beat the game, and as a rule, home town merchants can distribute merchan- disc as economically as stores any where else"

ENERGY OF RUNNER IS l3 HORSEPOWER
Scientist Gives Athletes Point
 CTS on Increasing Speed

Boston. Aug. 22 LP)-Thirteen horsepower of chemical energy is used by sprinter going at top speed
 The figures on this store of an athletes energy and some discoveries as 10 how he cXpends it. were pre- scented to the 18th International Physiological Congress at Harvard Medical School today by Dr. w. O. renn of Rochester, N. Y. Athletes may find pointers in his observations.
 Subjects so far available" he said, all have pushed themselves backward slightly when the foot touches the ground"
 He estimated this loss of foot en- orgy as one-half horsepower. lm- parting drive to the legs and swing 10 the arms take up only 1.67 horse power. Stopping these motions is a distinct drain, requiring a httle more than d half horsepower. Over coming the force of gravity absorbs ono-tenth of a horsepower. Tho total arm and leg motions. their checking gravity. wind resistance and foot lcontact with the ground were estl- mated as absorbing 22.6 per cent of the sprinter's energy.
 Motions that have been made ia nous bv some "sideWinder' sprint l CTS. such as transfer of energy from one leg to the other and the side ways movements" also absorb some energy, Dr. Fenn said but he dld not estimate the amount.
 Benefit of Exercise
 The lasting effects Of physical eX- ercise were shown by pr. Edward C. Schneider and Gordon C. Ring of Middletown, Conn. They found that one hour of physical exercise daily increases the capacity of lungs and ability to transfer oxygen into the blood so rapidly that the maximum result is achieved in five or SIN weeks. If then exercise is complete Ily neglected the body retains part ot it's increased powers for seNera- months.

EXILED RUSSIANS
 ERECT OWN TOWN
Chita, Siberia, Lies in Sino-
 Russian Danger Area

Washington, D. C., Aug. ?. - "Chita, Siberia, in the neighborhood Of which White Russians have been reported as raiding Soviet communi- ties, was the capital of the short lived Far Eastern Republic which spread shortly after the World War from the eastern shore of Lake Bal kal to the Pacific ocean, says bulletin from the Washington, D. (. headduarters of the National Geo. graphic Society,
 "Cita's remoteness has been a factor in its apparent obsCurlty' al- though it is one of the important stops on the Trans Siberian railway. within three hundred miles of the Manchuria border.
 Resembles American Frontier Town
 Hike many Siberian towns, Chita got it's start as Russian place of exile. At the beginning of the 18th century, there were a few native huts on the site and nOmadic tribes set up their tents in the neighbor- hood. But not until 1925, when the first contingent of eXiles arrived there, did Chita begin to boom.
 "The exiles built their own jail. Their wives built their homes along a street which was named Lady street. That street is still so named and is one of the principal thorough fares of the town.
 NOW Chita has a mixture of Chinese, Russian and Central Asian inhabitants that number about ST. 900, but after more than a century's growth it still retains many aspects of a frontier town of America $ early west Timber is plentiful in the mountains and on the plains in the region of Chita, and most of the houses are constructed of wood.

 "The wide. sandy streets Of the town stretch from the doorsteps Of one row Of one story, frame struc- lures to another row of the same height and construction of the other Now and then there is a Chita sky scraper' of three or four stories Some are of brick or stone; others of stucco over frame facades which at a distance resembles more sun- stantial construction.
 Business bristles in the down town streets of Chita. In one street the Chinese merchants display ar array of drygoods on stands crowd ed together as they are in the alley like thoroughfares of Canton. CheaI calico prints.
