Bats in Belfry

Fred Gunderson, (not related to the Wrangell Gundersons) was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Af- ter the children gave their tes- timony, he waived counsel and made a plea of Guilty. Judge Clausen gave him six months.
 For several weeks prior to his arrest Gunderson tried to and did entice little girls to his cab in near Sons of Norway Hall. He gave them small pieces of money, fruits and ice cream and with such bait got them to take off their little duds and stand before him in the nude.
 The penalty for seduction of a chaste female is severe but 1t is only misdemeanor under the laws of Alaska to contribute to the delinquency, virtual seduc- tion of a minor.

U. P. to Excavate
 Alaska Mounds

In the hope of making i'm portant finds that will throw further light on tlae early his tory and culture of the Eski-
 mos, the University of PennSyl-
 vania Museum has made ar arrangements to excavate some
 unusual mounds of Eskimo or igin which lie near Point Bar raw, nOrthernmost tip of Alaska.
 Work on the site will be start led anytime now, weather per mitting. The first group of mounds of the type which will be eXcavated was found in 1918 by w. B. Van Valin, research worker in anthropology for the museum. Native Eskimos new of the existence of the mounds but supposed them to be of na- tural origin until one of Van Valin's helpers discovered hu- man bones protruding from one of the group of mounds.
 Excavation revealed that in each of the mounds was Struc- ture resembling a house. These houses contained the remains of 83 persons. Beside each body male or female, lay implements and possessions of daily life, in drink cups, baleen ves- sells containing small pieces of seal f1ipper and blubber and a three-pronged spear.
 Absence of certain features which are characteristic of modern Eskimo culture in Alas ka was particularly noted. Neith- CT labrets nor any evidence of tlseir use was found, no tobacco pipes or accessories, no trace of iron, copper or any other metal, no lamps or vessels of soapstone, no nets, net needls or mesh sticks, no fish hooks, nor even a trace of the existence of dog.

Famous Murder Case May be Reopened

The Hall-Mills murder case which is without doubt the most widely reported case in the his tory of modern newspapers, may take the screaming headlines on front pages of newspapers again.
 Comes now a statement by one Kenneth Gladeau, ex-convict, that he positively can identify the principals in the case, that he was an eye witness and re- ceived $3,OOO to forget what he saw. The statement was made by Gladeau who was arrested at Plymouth, Michigan May 2, and statement before federal auth critics. The statement parallels that told by Mrs. Jane Gibson, < the pig woman" of this mys- terious case. U. s. Attorney Office has requested the New Jersey officials to in gestigate the statements.

earls traditionally come from oysters, but many modern pearls, limitations of real beauty, come fro1l aardines.
 Million UI iridescent herring scales on : were not only a loss to the fishing industry, but a nuisance as well. New Weirmen sell them lor only ' cents a pound and my make from $10 to S75 a day from the salVaged scales. The sources of supply for pear assense factories, so- called, are sardine factories or the weirs, or the bOaJmen who bring in the herring to the can- ming factories.
 It is said that 100 pounds of scales obtainable by the pearl eseense factories for $7 will pro- duce a pound of pearl paste which commands the price of $125 in the New York market. It is estimated t.aat during the last season the pearl essense factor ies bought at least S250,000 worth of these herring scales.
 According to which it ap- the scales are worth more than the herring when cured for the market.

Aerial Mapping Is
 Difficult Job

Has come to our desk from the Department of the Interior a pamphlet descriptive of the aerial expedition which has been here with us a couple of weeks. The statement follows:
 The making of maps from photographs is no new thing, but the advent of the airplane .Aas made it possible to get pie lures of large tracts of country. Various departments of the gov- ernment, as we'll as private con- cerns, have utilized this new means. The progress of aerial photographic mapping made it evident to the Geological Survey that this method would be par ticularly advantageous in South eastern Alaska, which is a re- zion of strong relief and diff cult to map economically by or dinary methods
 "As the Survey had no facil- ities for doing the flying, it en- entered into an arrangement whereby the Bureau of Aero nautics of the Navy Dejartment was to do the flying and take the pictures. The Alaskan Ae- rial Survey Expedition was or ganized by the Navy Depart ment, and in 1926 successfully photographed about 10000 miles in Southeastern Alaska.
 Bulletin 797-E, by R. H. Sar- gent and F. H. Moff1t, entitled Aerial Photographic Surveys Tn Southeastern Alaska" was re- gently published by the Geolog- ical Survey giving an account of this project and of the meth ods by which the photographs are being worked up into maps. Copy of this bullitin may be ob- tained from the Director U. s. Geological Survey, Washington, D. c. The bulletin contains a map part of the Ketchikan-Hy- of Revillagigedo, Annette Is- land, Gravina, and Duke Is lands and part of the near by mainland and Prince of Wales Island. All streams, lakes and other water areas are shown but relief is not shown.
 Pictures of various sections may be obtained on application to the department at very small cost.

Fire At Theatre Is
 Soon Controlled

What could be more diSap- pointing than to be disturbed while completely absorbed in a screen portrayal of a most fas- cinating Alaskan story; not to know if the heroine of the play finally found her real father; or
 to know if the contemplated
 dog race was held, and who was
 the winner; and, lastly, not to
 know the all-important of the
 play-if the hero won his fair
 lady. What could be more dis
 appointing than such denoue- ment?
 The patrons of the Variety Theatre were thusly disturbed last Monday evening when a cry of Fire! Fire! Fire!" shrilly rang out from the balcony and reused them from their seats and in a minutes time were all congre- gated out on the street. A fire there was; but 1t was confined to the projection room only.
 Immediately after switching from one machine to another, MT. Enge turned to hang a finn on a hook. An unclosed shutter on the machine not in use allow ed the light to strike on a part of film which had not cleared out of the projection area. MT. Fnge opened the door to throw the film out on the street but before he could make another move other films in cloSeproXim- lty caught fire The door being left open while Enge was trying to get a fire extinguislser, a vel vet hanging was burned beyond further disability; two seats near the projection room besides ceiling and walls were consider ably scorched.
 A hose was attached to a near by faucet and with the assist ance of some of the boys from the U. s. s. Gannet and a num- Der of local citizens, the fire was before the fire truck arrived-also pulled by the crew of t1ae Gannet.
 The men on board the Gannet were just turning-to when the alarm was sounded and were just ready to come up the dock when the fire was extinguished.
 MT. Enge advises that dam ages will run in the neighbor- hood of four to five hundred dol lars and that he has insurance to cover.
 So, the play, The Heart of the Yukon, which completely held tho iptaract of d II th0co uyhO cou it, is no more. And the patrons of Monday evening are still won dering about the outcome of the encountered by the principal characters, and if it ended as do all good fairy tales they lived happily ever after ward"

The 40-seat planes are being built

Each will have two lavatories, a bar

Two engines will be mounted just
beneath the upper wing, and two just
