he gave Nanny a lot of little round
wooden balls like marbles. Put
them on a string and they II make a
fine necklace for you Mamie, - he
said as he ambled away. ~ found
them in field where there were Il
lovely lot of old cans with very
sweet paper on them.
Mamie looked at the round wood
en- balls. They were just the size
and shape of necklace beads.
"But how can | put them on a
string and wear them when they
have no holes in them!' cried Nan
ME with tears in her eyes.
''No holes in what!' asked a
voice beside her, and there stood
Uncle Wiggily. Mamie showed the
rabbit gentleman the wooden balls
which would make a lovely necklace
if they only had holes in them so she
could string them. And Uncle Wig
gily said:
."Why, this is easy. The wood
pecker bird told me if ever | wanted
favor done he would do it. The
woOdpecker is Just the one to drill
holes in these wooden balls. Come
on"
Drying her tears, Mamie went
with Uncle Wiggily to where the
woodpecke- bird was drilling holes
in a tree to get at the bugs under
the bark. Quickly Mr.. Longears ex-
planned what was wanted.
Why, of course, II do that ia
vori' cried the bird. With his
strong beak, as he held the wooden
balls in one claw, the woodpecker
bored holes in each one. Then
Uncle Wiggily stained them red
with raspberry juice and helped Nan
ME put them on a string.
"Therc, now you have a mack
lace!' said the rabbit and the little
goat girl was as proud and happy as
Lulu and Alice.

GLAD HE'S BACK

We are so far away from the scene of
his present triumphs, that the full signi-
flcance of Admiral Byrd's return is lost
to US out here on the Pacific Coast.
The admiral has achieved a pre-emi-
nent place in the world of science and
exploration. The trip he has just COM
pleted was devoid of the spectacular, ex-
cept for his memorable flight over the
south pole. Aside from that it was a
steady round of strict attention to the
job in hand-mapping and surveying
Antarctica.
AS Americans We have every reason to
be proud of the admiral and his men.
The welcomes they are receiving in the
east are fully deserved, for they have
carried the banner of their country into
the farthest points of the earth, not to
conquer another people, but to battle
against the greatest enemy man is ever
called upon to face-Old Dame Nature
herself, in her worst environment.
The admiral's modesty and self-efface-
ment are proverbial. He is the type of
man Americans like-the sort that does
things and is only too willing to share
the credit with those who have helped
him achieve his objective.
AS a coast paper pointed out in car
toon yesterday, his return is like breath
of fresh air, purifying Uncle Sans back
yard of the unsavory odors arising from
the Chicago gang war, senatorial hot air,
the love affairs of Clara Bow, the mean
derings of a famous evangelist and a
horde of other ills with which our fool
ishness afflicts u.s.

marks to "Glad to be back" We're glad
to have him back

the pageant.
Heaven Bound" portrays the strug-
giles of poor, sinful mortals striving to
enter the golden gate Of the promised
land. But there Is many a tempta-
ton and many an obstacle to be over
come, with many a pilgrim falling by
the wayside and being led along another
path, hell bound"
One of the most popular character
hits of the play is a red, grinning devil,
who never speaks a word throughout
the two-hour -and-a-half presentation,
but whose clever pantomime neverthe-
less provokeS in the audience sympathy
for his victims.
But there is exultation when one of
the pilgrims thrusts the devilish one
aside and, reaching the sacred portals,
receives his crown in triumph.
The production reaches its grand
finale In the singing by the chorus of

the spell of the swinging, lifting rhythm
often produces an emotional climax in
an old-faShioned Shouting" a circum-
stance that adds to the fervor of the

for an encore, not unlike the curtain

 IN THE NEWS REELS

The following question comes to the editor of the Motion Picture Magazine:
 Why are scenes of actual crime and actual criminals never used in news reels?
 "The six newsreel companies never feature or refer to the cur rent crime scandal whatever it may be. The chief objection to portray ing actual crime in the newsreels,' ' according to Carl E. Milliken, sec retary of the Motion Picture Pro- ducers and Distributors of Ameri- ca, 'as compared with imaginary crime used during the development of dramatic plots in entertainment pictures is that in real life punish ment is never swift nor certain and, when it occurs at last it would not be seen in the same picture with the crime itself. In the crook story as shown on the screen, on the contrary the punishment fol- lows quickly and certainly after the offense.
 "Furthermore, current CT m c stories in the news reel would tend sto feed the criminals abnormal lust for publicity and to make him hero surrounded by a halo of romance, thus setting a bad ex- ample to the youth in motion-pic- zture audienees.% The Motion Pic ture Magazine.

River Camps of
 Interior Alaska
 Show Shrinkage

There is a steady movement of families toward the larger commun- ities of interior Alaska, at the ex- pense of the settlements along the rivers, according to E. G. Wetzler, U. s. postal service, following his return from a general tour of in- spection along the Yukon river. A number of families, long residents of Yukon river towns, have moved to Nenana in recent years, and there is a gradual drifting to other towns from the remote settlements.
 Several things are responsible for this shifting of population. The towns offer more opportunities of employment for the heads of fami- lies and the older children; bet ter school facilities for the chil- dren also are a magnet, and there is the question, too, of medical at tention. There is a doctor stationed at Panama, where the bureau of education maintains a splendid hos pital for the treatment of ailing natives, but throughout the long winter months medical attention is not available to the communities between Panama and the mouth of the Yukon river; and there is only one doctor on the upper Yukon, be- tween Panama and Dawson.
 MT. Wetzler went down the Yu- kon as far as Marshall, one-time prosperous placer mining camp. There is some mining still in prog resss there but. the population has dwindled to a mere handful of per sons, with virtually all of the ac- tivfty confined to the short sum- mer. season.
 There also has been considerable decrease in the number of persons residing in the Ruby. district in re- cent years but there is still some mining in progress on the creeks back of Ruby and oldtimers are confident that operations some day will be revived by the introduction of dredging. Attention during the winter months is largely directed to trapping, Ruby being recognized as quite an important fur center.
 Tom Deyane, oldtime merchant of Ruby. who was burned out by the big fire of several months ago, is evidencing his confidence in the future of Ruby by rebuilding and has replenished his stock of general merchandise, sufficiently to carry his trade through the winter.
 Fish were fairly plentiful along the Yukon the past summer and if the fur catch is up to normal dur ing the winter, the natives and white trappers will get through the year very nicely. Trapping has not been nearly so profitable in that section of the territory, how ever. since the shutting down on beaver trapping g-Cordoya Times.

MINERAL PRODUCTION
 OF ALASKA IN 1929

The Department of the Interior announces, through advance state ments prepared by the Alaskan Branch of the Geological Survey, that mines in Alaska are estimated to have produced minerals to the value of S16,105,000 in 1929, as against S14,061. .000 in 1928. The total value of the mineral output of Alaska since 1880 is approxi- mately 6,O00,00O. The figures for 1929. which are preliminary es- inmates and consequently subject to revision, are taken from the Geo logical Surveys annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska. now in preparation. The source of this mineral wealth was approxi- mately as follows:
