 MAKES IMPORTANT
 RECOMMENDATIONS

Resolutions adopted by the Grand Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska at the annual meeting at Anchorage included an in- dorsement of an annual Terri torial holiday, to be known as Territorial Pioneer Day, ac- cording to Anchorage press re- ports.
 The Grand Igloo also recom- mended that the Territorial Legislature be petitioned to construct another Pioneer Home in the northwestern part of the Territory to accommo- date both men and women pio- neers.
 Other resolutions adopted in- cluded a proposal to memor- ialize the Legislature to make Armistice Day, Nov. II, a legal holiday, as suggested by the American Legion; indorsement of an owned and operated in- stitution for Alaska insane, and an increase of the pension allowed aged residents of Alas ka from $25 to $35 month.

CO. SEEKING HERCULES
 GROUP-REPORT

Possible acquisition of the To- cal properties of Hercules Mines, Ltd, by the Consolidat- ed Mining & Smelling Go. is indicated by Vancouver press reports stating that it is under- stood from official quarters that the Consolidated Com pany is negotiating for the Hercules. The negotiations are said to have been under way for some time and progressing satisfactorily.
 The Hercules comprises 5 crown granted claims and is located north of the Big Mis- souri property, already con- trolled by the Consolidated.
 The group is owned by Her cules Mines, Ltd, and is capi- talized for $1,OO0,OOO divided into an equal number of shares of $1 par value, of which something over 600,O0O have been issued. Values are in gold silver, lead, zinc and copper and are said to average around $34 per ton in all metals.
 Acquisition of the Hercules will place Consolidated in con- trol of a total of thirty claims and fractions, covering an area approximately 2 4-5 miles in length.

NEW COLD STORAGE
 PLANT INSTALLED

Installation of the new cold storage and ice plant at the Provinse meat market was completed this week after divers delays due to the non- arrival of essential parts.
 The equipment includes a two-ton York refrigerating ma- chine operated by electric power and capable of provid- ing ample refrigeration for the freezing and cooling rooms and refrigerating counter. The machine is also used to operate a brine tank for the production of artificial ice, which will be produced in sufficient quanti- ties to meet public demands.
 The machine represents the very latest type in refrigerat- ing devices and is so equipped that any of the several cooling units may be disconnected without interfering with oth- CT units.
 Although of moderate capac- ity, a more complete and ef- ficient storage plant can scarcely be found anywhere in the North. As a result of it's installation the public can rest assured that meats and other refrigerated supplies furnished by the Provinse establishment will be in the finest possible shape for consumption.

Fred Milligan has been chos- en by the residents of Nenana as manager of the 1929 sweep stakes event. It is reported there is nothing to the recent report that Nenana citizens had been warned by the post office to abandon the sweep stakes. That story was started by a man who was in the in- terior recently trying to induce Nenana citizens to permit him to manage the derby this year. When they refused, it is said he began to talk about inter- ference by the postal authori- ties.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
 ASSISTANTS WANTED

Curtailment of open days at the Public Library or complete suspension of library activities until the return of the librar- ian, Col. E. R. Stivers, is threat ened as a result of the almost complete absence of response to the recent appeal of the li- brary board for volunteer as- sistants to help keep the li- brary open two days a week.
 Although more than a month has elapsed since Col. Stivers left for the States, only one person, Patrick Carey, has rendered his services up to the present time, according to D. J. Mulcare, secretary of the Library Association.
 As a result of this contingency, Mir Mulcare says, the task of keeping the library open on the appointed days has become somewhat difficult, and a change of some character must be made in the present sched- ule unless more help is forth coming immediately.

are certain instances among Junior

OF the officer Is such as TO peculiarly 1T

other than that in which he happens to
De holding a commission, and it has
been felt that in certain of these cases
the taking Of an examination causes an
inconvenience to the Reserve officer
concerned that is entirely needless. The
regulations have, therefore, been modi-
ned so as to provide that transfers be-
tween various branches of the service
may be recommended by corps area
commanders to the War Department in
the lowest grade of the respective
branches without regard to the possess
sion Of a certificate of capacity. Trans
fers recommended under this change
will not apply in the cases of trans
fer to the Air Corps Reserve, the Chap
Generals Reserve, or to any section of
the Medical Department Reserve. Trans
fers from the Specialist or Auxiliary
Reserve are also exempted from the
benefits of the change. Offlcers of the
branches mentioned will, as in the
past, be required to obtain a certificate
of capacity for the branch in which ap-
pointment may be desired. The suspen-
sions OF appointments in any particular
branch are waived at the time trans
fer is recommended in accordance with
the new regulation.

desirable so that the title will con-
form more nearly to the actual char
acter and conduct Of the courses and
to have the students feel that they are
actually taking an extension Of the
resident courses given at the various
service schools.
The new designations for the various
courses are as follows: Extension

School, ChaplainS' School, Chemical
Warfare School, Coast Artillery School,
Engineer School, Field Artillery School,
Finance School. Infantry School, Judge
Advocate Generals Department, Medi-

School, Signal School. the command

the special staff and logistics extern
sion course.
The materials for the command and
general staff extension course and the
special staff and logistics extension
course have already been changed to
conform to the new title, and the ma
terial for the courses of the arms and
services is now being revised and will
be issued under the new titles for the
1892 school year. Existing material
forms and regulations having the old
title will be continued in use with
out change until occasion arises for
their revision, when they will be re-
vised to conform to this new title.
Also, references to particular form or
to particular material will be by the
actual title of the form or material in
use at the time such reference Is made.

an hour.
Il is one seated and torpedo
shaped, has q wheel base of seventy
inches, and measure 7 feet s inches

Despite its size, the car rides

Liquor as Long as

z United Press
DETROIT. Aug. 16.-"Rum run
ming into the United States could
Be stopped. but I doubt if it ever
will be-. declares Carey D. Fergu-
son. who resigned recently as col
Iector Of customs at the Port OF De-
troit.
As customs collector, it was Fer
puson's duty to see that whisky,
wine and beer did not cross from
Canada. And he admits that he
didn't do it.
Just as long as the people Of
the United States demand liquor,
they will get it." he said.
III admit that. even considering
the possibility that people do not
stop drinking. rum smuggling could
be stopped; but only at an enor-
nous cost. To patrol the Detroit
area properly would mean a gt-
gantic flotilla of rum chasers.
Play Hide and Seek.
with a small force, it is just a
game of hide and seek. You chase
the rum runners out of one spot,
and they start work in another.
up and down the Canadian Dor
der, from Lake Erie to Lake Huron,
are 100 miles Of shore. During the
time that Ferguson was in Office,
he had from 30 to $50 men to cover
this area.
With a concentration of men and
equipment at one point, it was pos
sible to stop rum running entirely
at that point" Ferguson said. But
the rum runners would move on to
another spot and the game would
begin all over again"
The small salaries paid to en-
forcement agents is another bar
to the enforcement of prohibition,
in Ferguson's opinion.
Agents Better Paid.
In 1928. customs agents were paid
1880 year. a sum which since
has been raised to $500 a year,
Ferguson said.
1T is easy to see that it Is pos
sible for runners to offer brides that
would be tempting indeed to the
customs men," he said.
when I first became collector,
many instances of bride taking we're
uncovered. The jobs now are under
civil service.
While I believe that. on the
whole. we are getting a better class
of men in the service, the pay still
Is Toefully small" he said.
