The original blockhouse was known as Lukeen's stockade, and few years later Alexander Kolmakof built the fort which still stands. It is said to be in very poor condition, and will probably decay if left at it's present site for another few years.
 Word of the staying of an Indian by another native in the Hoholitna river country was received at Fair banks few days ago in the form nf wireless message from Ge~rge w. Hoffman, Cnited States commissioner at Napainut. Thet message, which was, addressed to yfIudge Cecil H. Clegg, gaveano details4of the murder, ssys, the Fairbanks. News Miner Mir Hoffman said he~wonid start for the < al,e of the staying. as soon as Dep uty United States Marshal Wiseman arrived from Bethel.
 The fact that the murd d4r~was con- mitted n the Hoholitna river district, which lies east of .Napaimut, has sug- gested the possibility thatethe slayer is Klutok, middle-aged native, who is held responsible for san unknown number of murders. Hetis known to roam in the Hoholitna country gas well as in the vicinity of the Nushe- gak river, which has it's origin south of the Hoholitna. If the murderer is other than Klutok, little trouble will be had m effecting his arrest, it is believed, but should Klutbk be the man sWanted long, hard chase is almost:a certainty.

 The strange barrenness of trees on the Aleutian islands is told by H. w. Jewell of the U.sS. Biological Survey, who spent part of the summer around the Aleutians. Forty-four Sitka spruce trees were planted on a small island near Unalaska in 1854 by Bishop Inokenty, of the old Russian Alaska Company. These trees took to their new surroundings and were ap- parently on the way to providing flu ture timber on the islands, but for, some reason unknown to scientists they refused to propagate. No seeds sprang up to make seedlings; no shoots tapped off the roots to make new growth The A trees grew slowly, reached "a diameter of from 6 to Is inches at the base, a maximum height of 32 feet, and are, still grow ing, but when they mature and die it seems probable that the forest on the Aleutians'i will die also, leaving nothing but the luxuriant grasses which abound on the islands, growing to a height of six feet or more. With the temperature on the Aleutians being practically stationary, and rarely below zero, and with a soil promoting luxuriant growth of vege- tation, other than trees, the mystery of the dying forest on the island re- mains another unsolved mystery in
 
 natures puzzle book.
