O. n . H sand on the beach the words, Drop Food" were traced. They were easily discernable. On top of the cabin were two men. They had heard the roar of the Taku before 1t was visible to them, and had climbed to the roof, the better to attract attention. We recognized them at once, as Scott and Selby.
 Ice on Lagoon
 Tn front Of the cabin was a lagoon about mile long. It con- tained a great deal of ice. For 20 minutes, Ellis flew over the la- goon seeking lane of clear water into which to drop the Taku. Then he turned to Icy Bay, thinking to come down there and taxi into the lagoon. But the bay was the worse Of the two evils, and he. fin ally brought the plane down into the lagoon and taxied to the front Of the cabin, just four hours after we had left Juneau. We would have liked to have gone to the. Gorst plane, but the tide was bringing more ice into the lagoon, and we had to hasten away. We left 50 gallons of gasoline in the cabin to be used either by the Gorst, If an effort should be made to recover 1t, or by any other plane in the event of a future contingency. In the cabin, were beans and rice suffi- cient to last the marooned avia- tors a month, but they had tired of the diet.
 Slightly Delayed by Fog
 Scott and Selby boarded the Taku and Pilot Ellis taxied to the far end of the lagoon. He waited 10 minutes until enough of the dense fog blew away to enable him to zoom up through and over it. We proceeded to Cordova, reaching there an hour and a half later. Scott is still in Cordova. He in4 tends to go to Fairbanks. Selby came to Juneau yesterday on the Taku and soon after his arrival left on the Skagway for Ketchikan."
 After having rescued the Gorsts crew Sunday, the Taku Monday, with Pilot Ellis and Mec hanic Hatcher and Photographer Stewart, left Cordova to pick up MT Friele at Nakeen in Bristol Bay. The planes course was laid over the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes for the purpose of taking pictures of that region, but fog not only foiled this intention, but also pre- vented entrance into Bristol Bay. So the route was changed to fly over Iliamna Bay into Iliamna lake. Monday night was spent in Iliamna River.

 Tuesday, the Taku was flown to Nakeen in Bristol Bay. The weather was so bad that the plane remained there until 6 o'clock yesterday morning. when it took off for Seward. The Taku stayed at Sew ard only 10 minutes. It proceeded to Cordova where there was a stop of two hours for food and gasoline. Then the hop to Juneau was made by 5 o'clock last evening. N

 Text of Resolution
 The text of the resolution follows in full:
 RESOLUTION
 WHEREAS, for the. past ten years the Coast Guard Cutter Unalga has been stationed at Ju- neau for duty along the coast of Alaska; and
 Whereas, during that period the people of Juneau have not only appreciated the protection afforded to shipping by having the Unalga stationed here, but have greatly enjoyed and profited by the con- tact with the officers and crew of the Unalga; and
 Whereas, the Unalga has recently been ordered to a new station and has left Juneau,
 Now, Therefore Be it Resolved, by the Juneau Chamber of Com merce, that we deeply regret the transfer of the Unalga from the Juneau Station, and that we will greatly miss the officers and the members of the crew; and
 Be It Further Resolved, that we extend to the officers and members of the crew of the Unalga and ex- precision of our appreciation of the services which have heen rendered by them while statloned in Alaska.
 Passed by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this 17th day of July, 1930.

 It is the aim of the bureau to establish schools wherever there are as many as 10 children, although this has not yet been attained ow- ing to limitation of funds. Ne V schools are being built at nine diff terent communities this year and in next years estimates, funds are asked to build 24 new ones, he said.
 Two new hospitals and one tuber- cular annex are on the program for construction during the pres ent fiscal year The first for Kotzebue and Mountain Village, and the annex at Juneau. This will be the second institution of its kind. The first was built at Panama.
 Some of us have long looked forward to the Office of Educa- tion coming to Alaska" MT. Hawkes. worth said. Secretary Wilbur, who has taken great interest in this work, apparently took the same view, and moved quickly to bring it about
 One of the results of the move will be prompt settlement of ac- counts in the Territory. In the past, he said, one just complaint was slowness of payments. This will no longer occur.
 The general plan of operation will continue as in the past. It is planned, however, to replace the district superintendents with super visors working out of the Juneau headquarters. It is hoped, with the cooperation of the Alaska Col lege and Alaska schools to establish summer schools in Alaska where teachers may go for extension worl. instead of having to go to States institutions for similar work.
 Every teacher in the local schools should be certificated, he said, and this could be brought about by summer school system. Some dis cussion of the plan has already been had with President c. E. Bunnell of the Alaska College, and MT. Hawkesworth was confident it's oonsumation would not be long de- layed.
 He reviewed the rhetorical con- tests and the Forest Essay contest. the latter under the auspices of the United States Forest Service. He hoped that the rhetorical con- test could be developed Territory wide and eventually become a part of the national oratorical contest now conducted by various news papers throughout the country.
