RELLl,.SE FIGURES

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 9, (P)-The Alaska Game Commission requests to state that the figures released by executive officer H. w Ter hume. contradict the general re- ports that the fur catch for the last trapping season are far below normal. The figures show one hundred and seventy three thous- and one hundred and sixty-nine total pelts are expected this year as compared with one hun dred and sixty-six thousand, two hundred and sixty-six for the pre- vious season. The gain is due to the increase in muskrat skins. of which there are a hundred and 12 thousand this year. as compared to eighty nine thousand last year.
 Excluding the muskrat increase the fur catch has decreased only nine and one half percent A large increase in otter skins in the next year or so is expected, IS there has been a considerable iu- crease in grouse, ptarmigan. and rabbits. upon which the fur-bear- ing animals subsist.

MADE ICE LANDING FIELD
 IN BERING STRAITS

Samuel Anaruk Bureau of Edu- cation school teacher on Little Diomede Island, arrived at Nome last Saturday on the motorship Good Hope. MT Anaruk in an in terview with the Nugget states that last fall they heard airplanes flying over the island crossing from Alaska to Siberia. and ev- erytime a plane was heard over head. he let the native children out of school to see it. He says they were greatly excited when the planes would appear and show ed much enthusiasm IS most them had never seen q plane before.
 In being questioned, Mir Anaruk said that the first planes were seen right over the island in Nov ember when the sky was clear and the planes apparently went on ov- CT to Siberia
 After the early part of Noyem- Der they saw no more planes until about January. then every once in a while they could hear and some times see the planes each month. until about the first of May.
 He did not know what the plan es were going back and forth for, but instinctively realized that there must be some trouble somewhere, He decided to lay out field for the planes to land on the ice in case it was necessary. He made two triangles of wood and paint ed them red, placing one on the left and the other on the right side of the ice field He then planted a pole in the ice to the north end of the field and fasten- ed a black flag at the top of it. Although no planes landed. they could have in case of necessity, for a smooth area of about 15O0 feet in length had been prepared for them.
 Due to the fact that the island is 23 miles from the mainland, it is cut off from communication during the winter. So it was i'm possible for them to know what was transpiring or what had hap pened to Colonel Ben Eielson and his mechanician Earl Borland, un- til the coast guard cutter North land landed at Little Diomede Is land sometime in the latter part of June.
 There are 137 people wintering on the island, tw of whom were MT, and Mrs. Nysetter. Lutheran Mrs. Nysetter died February 9th. and was buried on the island. her husband recently went back to the states on the steamer Victoria.
 MT Anaruk states that there were only four deaths during the winter. caused probably from a sort of fever brought on by severe colds. He had AZ children in at school MT. Anaruk is married and has a family of seven children. One girl, aged 1T. graduated from White Mountain industrial school and is now as sisting him with the school work On the island.

RETURN OF THE "NORTHLAND'' FROM HER FOURTH
 ARCTIC CRUISE
A Brilliant Record Humanitarian Achievement for "The Angel of the Arctic", Including Both
 White and Natives. Sum-
 mer Weather Prevailed
By Robert Frothingha m

The U. s. Coast Guard cutter Northland, E. D. Jones, command ing, which left Nome on July IT., on her fourth annual Arctic cruise, stead yesterday morning. After proceeding to Golovin Bay for fresh water, she will visit settle ments on the shores of Norton Sound and will proceed to Una laska in the latter part of Aug ust for fuel. Following short stay at Unalaska the ship will re- turn to the vicinity of Nome to remain until the last commercial vessel has left these waters for the season.

When bunch of natives greeted the arrival of our launch with vociferous welcome and hand-shakings a-plently. they point ed to the flag which turned out to be homemade, with only enough material for a single star against the blue field.

jury for the blasts which destroyed
the plant snuffing out ten lives
and injuring 40 other persons.

works and also large quantities

HERO Of PEK|NG
To RETIRE

Lieut.. Col. Calvin P. Titus. in
fantry, now stationed at Fort
Benning, Ca, has been ordered
to proceed to his home on or
about August Is and await re-
tirement. He retired on his own
application after 80 years of
service.
Back of this simple announce
ment, contained in today's Army
orders, lies an Army romance of
a diminutive bugler of Company
8, Fourteenth Infantry, who arose
to high rank because he was the
first over the famous Peking
walls when the Boxers were be-
seiged by the international army
during the Boxer uprising in 1900.
It was April IA, 1900, when
young Titus, because of his
stature, was selected for the feat.
He grasped the end of a long
pole and held fast while other
members of his company swung
the pole skyward, enabling him
to land safely on the other side.
For his heroism, Titus was
given the Congressional Medal of
Honor and an appointment to
West Point. President Roosevelt
made a special trip to the
academy to pin the medal upon
Titus uniform.
Colonel Titus was born at
Vinton, Iowa, on September q,
1879.
