 In 1919, when the treaty expired, France asked for a new arrange ment. But by successive three months periods the treaty has been continued in effect
 France has asked Italy to sub- scribe to the same conditions as apply to other foreigners in Tunis. This would mean that Italians would remain Italians and their children, at their majority, might choose either French or Italian na- tionality. But succeeding genera tions, born in Tunis, automatically would be French.
 France might also give another 15,000 or 10000 square miles on the south of Libya. Negotiations along those lines have been spasmodic for two years, with no great results.

BIG GAME GUIDE
 FINDS SKELETON
 PREHISTORIC SAUR

After being held approximately 18,000,000 years imprisoned in the frozen tundra and shales along Cook Inlet, the remains of a pre- historic "saur" or flying reptile were discovered by Russell Annabel, formerly with the Forestry Bureau, but now big-game guide, while guiding Herman Burkhard, a Los Angeles banker, on a brown bear hunt near Chinitna Bay.
 The remains having length of about 50 feet, still retained DOT tions of flesh and four square feet of hide, which was two inches thick and like armor plate. This is pos sibly the first time that fleshy re- mains of these prehistoric monsters have been found and it's discovery is one of the most important con- tributions to science yet made, as it affects the progress of research in planetontology.
 The remains were dug up by brown bears in shades classified as belonging to the Saurian age, or Messozoic period, which represents the secondary epoch in geology.
 Photographs taken of the skull show it to be 38 inches long, and appears to have belonged to a large lizard or alligator. It contains 40 massive ivory teeth weighing each 10 ounces. The five-feet ribs have a curve of nearly IS inches.-(Sew- ard Gateway)

COMMERCE FOR MONTH IS LESS
 THAN YEAR AGO
Outbound Shipments De- crease $734,442 from
 Same Month 1929

 Alaska commodities shipped tc the States in June were valued at $1, ,767, ,526, according to the month ly statement of commerce made public today by J. c. Mcbride, Col : lector of Customs. This was $734,- 442 less than for the same month in 1929 when the commodity ship ments were worth $2,50l ,972.
 The loss was accounted for by decreases in copper, canned salmon, fresh halibut, fish meal and oil and minor items Copper dropped about $400,0O0, canned salmon s233 ,O0o, halibut $46,0O0 and meal and oil about $90,000.

 When Benito Mussolini came into power at Rome he expressed dis satisfaction with the settlement and wanted more room for Italy in Af- rica.
 This was complicated by the most disturbing thing of all. The French went into Tunis in 1881 and two years later established the present protectorate. When they entered they found a large colony of Ital- ians who had special arrangements with the Bey of Tunis.

Representatives of the school board appeared at the meeting Of Bolton Kasica post, American Le- zion, last night in the own hall 10 tell the Legionnaires moro about the local school situation and to answer questions regarding this focus of the towns interest.
 In answer to a question asked by an interested Lcgionnairc. 1t was brought out that the difference be- tween the construction of new school and an addition to the pres tnt Knnsington Grammar school would be only Sl5,000. The assump- ion on the part of many gtoWhs- people that the maintenance ot the new school would greatly increase the cost to the townspeople as far as taxes were concerned was some what contra dicted when it was stat- vd that only one new teacher wouid be required if the proposed pu'ld- ing were constructed.
 This would be brought about n this way: At the present 1lmc the portable building and three rooms Tn the basement of the present gram = mar school arc being used, it was stated. Providing the new school plans go through, the portable school would be eliminated. as would also the rooms in the base ment of the grammar school. These latter could be converted into ,,orkshous or manual training rooms.
