South Nahanni Map Gives Valuable Information
 On Little Known Country
River of Northwest Territory Shows Remarkable Waterfall, Rivaling Niagra in Size, at head Ot lO0 Mile Stretch of Fast Water With Succession of Rapids and Rifles

from Cassiar to the Flat River would be via the Dease River to Liard and Hyland, but as travelling conditions along that route are entirely un- known, l should say that it could best be undertaken on the snow. The prices Of food and supplies along the Mackenzie River are the highest 1 have ever experienced in the North. 1 will mention only one item, namely gasoline at $500 per gallon.
 General mining equipment such as is easily obtained in Cassiar and Yukon. was practically unknown over on Mackenzie last year. Any party from the west coast desiring to prospect the South Nahanni and Flat Rivers, would probably do bet ter by endeayoring to reach that dis trict via the Dease and Hyland Riv- CTS, rather than from the Mackenzie side. To offset what l have said against the entry into this country Via the Mackenzie and up the South Nahanni, let me say that found the people over there very hospita- ble and the usual fine type that one meets everywhere in the North. Re- garding gold to be found in that district, let me say that George Ball and Albert Dease have good eyes but failed to see a single prospect along our line of travel of PA miles of the main South Nahanni River.
 T did not investigate the Flat Rive-. l understand, and our obser- yations for some miles confirm this, that the South Nahanni river above the falls is very good boating water for a considerable distance. From indian reports, l understand that the upper portion ot the Flat River provides hard navigation. l am not seeking to discourage anyone from undertaking a prospecting trip to the South Nahanni, but am simply endeaVoring to provide some accu- rate information on the conditions We encountered there in 1928. The limestone formation is to be found in the main valley of the South Ma hanni, and after one has penetrated well into the mountains, game will be found to be fairly plentiful.
 T am not a prospector. in any sense of the word, and my trip last year was for the purpose of inVesti- gating the topography of the coun- try, and not it's geology. l happened to be the first white man to measure and photograph the falls, which you will note from the map named af- ter my little girl, Virginia. The ac- complishment of that well repaid me for all my labors, without seeing even grain of dust"

DISTINGUISHED CLUBWOMAN
 GUEST WOMEN'S CIVIC CLUB

Mrs. John F. Sippel, president of the G. F. ". C., who spent several hours here while the Dorothy Alex ander was in port, was met at the boat by a committee of local club women including Mrs. E. H. Lyons, the president, and Mayor Diemart and taken for a ride around town to points of interest At the library where the trip ended. Mrs. Lyons presented her with crescent shaped gold nugget pin on behalf of the Civic Club and a beautiful bouquet of red peonies. She was also given an autographed copy of "Rowdy."
 Mrs. Sippel is travelling alone and was greatly impressed by her first visit to Alaska which she declares shall not be her last. While here, she made contact with the club women of each town and gathered a valuable fund of information. The Alaska visit was an extension of a trip to the Pacific Coast states. Those who had the pleasure of meet ing her were charmed by her pleas ing personality and her evident de- sire to understand the problems that confront the clubwomen, so that her term of office may be one of helpful service.

LIVE GROUSE WANTED
 BY GAME COMMISSION

The Alaska Game Commission is interested in securing number of live Dusky Grouse or hooters" for transplantation to Prince of Wales Island. This is one of the game stocking projects authorized by the Territorial Legislature. As soon as possible bids will be called for furnishing the live grouse, but before such bids are called for the Commission would like to hear from interested residents regarding ways and means of getting the birds.
 Can adult grouse be trapped sue cessfully? Should eggs be taken and matched under domestic fowls? Or should young grouse be caught and pen-reared before liberation?
 The Alaska Game Commission will very much appreciate receiving suggestions in this matter from those who feel that they might be in a position to furnish the grouse at a later date.

Held Lucky Ticket

Not only was the hospital as an institution benefited by the Fourth Of July dance but a member of that institution's stan was quite over whelmed with surprise when she found herself the lucky possessor o1 the beautiful Hope Chest heaped high with attractive gifts which the Legion Auxiliary gives away each year on the Fourth. The lucky num- Der, 300, was held by Miss Ruth Olson, and the bachelors who have usually been the winners in the past, are forced to admit that the spell is broken.

Donations Were Generous

The PIT. A. was indebted to its members for generous donations for the dance supper and hot-dog booth and especially to MT. and Mrs. Patenaude for the use of their cor ner store for the latter. That loea- tion was particularly good and the building comfortable and roomy. Benches from the gym were placed along Front street as usual but walking proved better than sitting, except early in the day when a solid row of small boys and hot-dogs oc- cupied them

Medical Budget Plan
A In Chicago the arrangement has
sNen called the Modern Medical
Budget Plan" It's purpose is to
finance worthy sick persons on a
cost basis, making It possible for
the patients to pay in weekly or
monthly installments commensurate
with their means.
In explaining the plan Dr.. James
H. Hutton, president-elect Of the
Chicago society asserted that 1t
simply adapts to the sick the mod
ern method OF financing employed
by the automobile, radio and other
industries"
In Chicago the doctor viii con-
tribute 1868 per cent Of his fee to
The financing organization, receiving
36.37 Of the total fee when all pay
ments are made. Should the patient
default, the doctor will get but IS
per cent. paid by the financing
company.
Opposes Clinics
While looking with some degree
Of approval on the partial payment
plan Of financing, Dr.. Strayton is
unalterably opposed to the COM
munity idea of disqualification as
proposed By Dr. Francis Graham
4 Crookshank, London physician, in
the July issue of the Forum.
Dr.. Crookshank proposes the
creating Of institutions by the com

HALIBUT BOATS OVERHAUL FOR
 NEXT SEASON

With the opening of the 1929 hallbut fishing season less than g month away, the Juneau fleet is preparing for the first trip to the banks. A score of large vessels and q greater number of smaller craft are being thoroughly put in condition, gear is being over hauled and in every respect the shippers of the boats are going to be ready when the opening date of February Is arrives.
 The two large machine shops, Charles Warner and the Standard Machine Shop, are working to ca. pacity repairing engines and gear and, according to the foreman of one of the shops, this is the rush season of the year as the work of overhauling the several boats has always been put off until late win ter
 At least two of the Juneau hali- but boats are fishing for herring and is is reported they are making fair catches. At the close of the halibut season last November Is, some of the fleet left at once for the Westward and this winter have been engaged in fishing cod.
 
 An optimistic season prevails among the crews of the halibut fleet for the coming season. The past season was marked by lower prices than the average of the past several years, but the opinion seems to be that higher price will be paid during this year.
