LITTLE HOPE FOR ADA
 BLACKJACK'S BOY

SEWARD-Bringing with her Ada Blackjack's boy from the hos p:-al in Juneau where he has been finder treatment for deafness, Miss Beth Stewart, formerly of Nome, arrived here to take up her duties as nurse at the Jesse Lee Home. She will take the place of Miss Blanche Thornton, who will take vacation and visit her parents in Kansas City.
 Ada Blackjack's boy is a youth of about 12, born at Nome. He wa: stricken with spinaal meningi- tis when nine years old which left him almost stone deaf, and be- cause he cannot hear he does not tslk. although he can do so. He had been under treatment for four 'coaths at Juneau, hrt his case is considered practically hopeless and under the efforts of Charles W. Hawkesworth, superintendent of the U. S. Bureau Of Education for the Southern district, he may be placed later in an outside deaf and dumb institution.
 The story of Ada Blackjack as one of the survivors of the expedi- tion to Wrangell Island will read idly be recalled by all readers. She nursed four American companions who were all found dead when a relief expedition finally reached the island.

PIONEER ROOF GARDEN
 UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS

The annual Roof Garden enter tainment and dance under the aus pices of Igloo No. l, Pioneers of Alaska, took place at the large Eagle Hall last Saturday night, December 29th, and from the time it was opened by a speech of welcome by Vice President Thomas D. Jensen until the or- chestra played the final dance for the night, there was not dul! moment. 4a
 The program, as arranged was gone through in good shape, the participants in each nanber SCOT ing a big hit as the applause at tested. The building was crowd ed almost to overflowing, all of the seating space in the galleries as we'll as the main hall being occupied, with great many late corners finding standing room on ly. A large part of the crowd stayed for the dance which was thoroly enjoyed to the strains of the Syncopaters Orchestra.
 There were side attractions for those who did not care to dance and a racing game and other gambling devices were run for the benefit of these: There were good eats served in the dining room all through the night and until the conclusion of the affair.

 He was buried from the Catho- lie church, January End, and the funeral was we'll attended. The sermon was preached by Father La Fortune upon the vanity of mundane things and dissolution.
 The rendering of Liberie and Jesus Lover of my Soul, by the choir was both beautiful and in spiring to the congregation.
 Mr. Dufresne was one of our early pioneers in Nome and later went to Council. where he mined during the summer and in the winter hunted and trapped. It was while looking after his tran lines on Bear creek that the blizzard caught him and his ad- vanced age of 75 was against him in his desperate fight for life. Little could be learned of his relatives and no administrator was appointed. but he left his af- fairs in such shape that the bank handled them with little expense.

FAIRBANKS VOTERS REFUSE
 TO ACCEPT FRANCHISE

FAIRBANKS-In special cleo tion held here recently the elect crate voted down the ordinances which would have granted two public utility franchises to F. A. Neville for period of 20 years.
 A total of 295 votes were cast in favor of the telephone franchise and 33S against it, while 293 vot- ed for the heat, water and light ordinance and 345 were against it.
 The above figures show that proponents of the Neville proposal failed to muster 50 percent of the total vote, whereas Territorial law provides that approval must be given by 55 percent of the elect ors.
 The figures show that 654 votes were cast or 1S4 more than at the special election in August, when the municipal proposal was placed before the voters.
 A surprising number of voters split the ballot, voting for the telephone franchise and against the light franchise and vice versa.

MRS. PETER CURRAN
 LAID TO REST

The death of Mrs. Peter Curran of Solomon at 12:15 on the morn- ing of December J9th. from can Ger of the liver, was not unex- pected.
 Mrs. Curran had been suffering for sometime. but a short stay in the Nome hospital under the skill full treatment of Dr.. O'Hara, had improved her condition to such an extent that she returned to Solomon, but the fatal disease ad- vanced rapidly and shaAhad to re- turn. All that skill and love could do was done and her last hours were easy. She was. sur rounded by her sorrowing and loving family. Her age preclud- ed the possibility of an operation.
 Her funeral took place on Jan. 1st, starting from the Nelly un- dertaking parlors and was follow ed by her sorrowing relatives, in cluding her aged mother and friends and was one of the best attended seen in Nome for some time. The obsequies were held in the Methodist church under the Rev w. F. Baldwin. The singing of the choir was tender and a solo rendered by Mir. Engle- stadt was touching, reaching the fibers of ones heart. The funeral sermon taken from Paul was up- on the immortality of the soul and that the departed death was but journey to happier home. Af- ter the services the cortege con- tinued to the cemetery where the remains were deposited in the re- ceiving vault.
 Mrs. Curran, the wife of one of our oldest pioneers. leaves behind her husband. three children, A1 Henry Burgh, Mrs John Fag- erstrom, Peter Curran jr., and seven grandchildren, besides her aged mother and a younger bro ther. She was a good wife and loving mother. helpmate in every sense. accompanying her husband to the many places he was engaged in carrying mail as well as contractor and miner, and in latter and more prosperous days to settle in Solomon. She was a hospitable hostess who made all welcome and tended to their comforts.
 The knowledge of her death will cause the eyes of many, be- sides her relatives, to moisten and the sympathy of the public is with her husband and children in this their hour of bereavement,
 The pallbearers were Charley Goetzenberger, Ed. Gross, Barney Kelly. Hugh O'Farrell, John Cos telio and A. J. Stokes.

hla~ka Pacific Salmon Corpora ton be in s'oht savings in opera = tirg expenses of approximatelv s2S00nn vear according to c. IVY Skinner, president of the company in Seattle.
 T'7oeo savings. he said, will re- suit from elimination of duplicate management and overhead both in Seattle and Alaska, but do not in olude other economies which are expected to reach a total in ex- cess ot $150,000 year.
 The salmon packing industry is fojlowink the trend towards cen- tralized management which has been l1oticable in all lines of busi- ness in recent years. The busi- 1es", according to MT. Skinner, lends itself to large, single man. agemellt, resulting in decreased opere.ing expenses, more efficient management and improved mar ketinG methods.
 In connection with improved marketing, MT. Skinner pointed to the national advertising cam- paign of hte Associated Salmon Packers for the spring and sum- tner of 1929. This campaign, fea- turing pink salmon, is appearing in 34 of the largest newspapers of the country.

THE ATTRACTION OF THE AIR

Medical examiners for the Department of Com
merce, who pass the qualifications of men who
would become aviators. report that there is end to
the tricks the physically deficient will employ in the
hope of hoodwinking the examiners.
To become pilot, of course one must have
ceent physique and must be free from certain defects
that do not in the least impair the average mans eff
cheney This is for the protection of the pilot much
as for the protection of such passengers he may
carry.
Yet many refused certificate because or
ganc weaknesses would not permit them to fly
IN safety. use amazing ingenuity in trying to conceal
these weaknesses.
For instance there is the color blindness test. The
applicant is given page of different colored dots and
a perforated board is placed it. He has to look
through the holes and mark all the spots which show
blind who have tried memorze the location of all
the dots and thus conceal their deficiency.
1t is the same with the eye reading charts. Per-
with defective vision try to memorize them that

shift them around constantly. Some applicants who
deaf try to get by by reading the doctors lips.
Few, if any, get away with it. The doctors are
used to rickery and in practically every they
through the applicants subterfuges.
The whole thing is interesting for the peculiar
light it sheds on human nature.
Aviation is risky calling at best. You would

from flying in safety.
Yet scores Of men try to hoodwnk the examiners.
The attraction of aviation, apparently, outweghs all
