Gov. Parks
 Makes Report
REPORT TO INTERIOR SECRE. TARY SHOWS CONDITION
 OF TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-An in crease of more than s2,000,000 in the mineral production, balance of trade in favor of Alaska of $36,914,- 722, and an increase of approximate ly 4,50O in population are outstand- ing features of Territorial develop ment, according to the annual report to the Department of the Interior of George A. Parks, governor of Alaska.
 The total value of the Alaska lsh- ing products in 1929, exclusive of aquatic furs, was $50, ,795,819, a de- crease of $3,749,7 ,769 from 1928, when the value was S54,545,588 The fore going figures represent the value of the manufactured product. It is es- timated that the value of the catch to the fishermen was approximately S1 ,582,000. The round weight of the salmon catch landed by the fisher man was approximately 442,601, ,784 pounds, and the corresponding figures for herring were about 3,105,752.
 Twenty-nine thousand two hundred and eighty-three persons were en- ployed in the commercial fisheries of the Territory in 1929, as compared with 31,086 for 1928. The herring industry experienced an unusual con- dition which resulted in decline in the output of pickled fish and an in- crease in the production of meal and oil. There was an increased produc- tion of halibut. One thousand two hundred and fifty-three persons land ed approximately 37,456,998 pounds of halibut, valued at S4,422, 2,605, as compared with 31,56700O pounds, valued at S3,094,OO0 in 1928. The out put from the cod fisheries increased materially over hat of 1928. In 1929, some 233 persons were employed in the. whaling industry, and the total value of the products was estimated to be S502,O81.
 The census of the seal herds on Pribilof Islands is computed in Au- gust each year, and the Bureau of Fisheries estimates the increase to be 1O0,014 for the year ending August 10, 1929. Statistics presented by the Bureau of Fisheries indicate that since 1918 $4,477,919.28 has been de- posited in the treasury of the United States as net revenue derived from the sale of fur seal skins. The total number of seals of all ages and classes in the herds is estimated to be 971 ,527. Forty thousand and sixty eight fur sealskins were taken from the Pribilof Islands during 1929.
 It is apparent from the reports coming from the various fishing areas of Alaska that the pack of sal mon for the year 1880 will be in the neighborhood of 5,Ooo,o00 cases. re Mines in Alaska produced $16,066,- GOO worth of minerals in 1929, as compared with S14,O61,OO0 in 1928. The large increase in the value of Alaska's mineral output in 1929 is to be attributed mainly to the increased price at which copper is sold during the year and the greatly increased production of gold by both lode and placer mines. The increased selling price of copper, which was 3.2 cents g pound higher in 1929 than in 1928, alone accounts for an increase of $l,.65,O0O, and the gold output was S9l6,000 greater, says the governors report. The value of the production Of gold from the lode mines in 1929 was $3,644,000, or approximately Al

AMPHIBIAN CREATURE, ENTOMBED IN
 ICE, FOUND NEAR VALDEZ

CORDOVA.-Reports were ocn- firmed of the finding of the perfectly preserved body of strange prehis- tasic: anghiBian creature on Glacier Island, near Valdez.
 It. is believed to have been entomb- ed for centuries in the upper reaches of Columbia glacier and to have grad ually worked to the sea. The crea- ture, encased in ice, was washed ashore on the island. It resembles a lizard. The body is 20 feet long and the tail 16 feet long. It is covered by fur. The. blood can be seen thrugh the ice.
The Kusko times., 1930-12-20

NEW YORK.-Edward Brown, cur ator of the American Museum of Nat ural History, requested Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, president of the Alaska College, to investigate the carcass of the strange creature.
 The museum wa sinformed of the supposed find few days ago. "So far as we know no prehistoric crea- ture of the dimensions given in the Alaska dispatch existed" Brown said.
 "If the creature is encased in ice it must have lived when the ice formed. The dimensions of the lizard-ike an- ima given in the description suggest a reptile similar to the dinosaur, but they died millions of years before ice formed. The only other possibility is that it might bemarine creature like whale."

Congress so as to give such children q
better chance of living with proper
medical care and nourishment provided
By the Government in the public
schools and to find some method OF
transportation for school children.
His resolution also states that large
number of pupils, particlarly in the

are compelled to pay two fares going
to and coming from the schools, and
asks Congress to md some method OF

Representative Dlckstein said he is

District committee which handles Dis

Congress should be awakened to real

Charged with
Laziness---
Guilty Simply of Acidiv!

More than one man today Is mis-
judged and unjustly penaiized be-
cause of q not understood physical
condition rather than any lack OF
willingness or ability.
So many of us are only half our
selves, only fifty per cent efficient,
because we are victims of an in
sidious condition of acidity! That
persistent tired ( e ling - that
/ clouded mind-that lack of dash
and fire-that missing punch that
decides so many situations in BUSH
ness-are all usually due to an acid
system.
Acidity is brought on by our un-
natural eating, excessive smoking
and irregular hours. 1t impairs
digestion, and causes fermentation
and putrefaction in the intestineS
and drags us down physically and
mentally.
A remarkable new corrective Of
acidity has been developed by a
famous 100-year-old pharmaceuti-
cal house in Germany.
This new, improved magnesia
comes in the form of small white
tablets called Magnesia Oxoids,
which do not have to be chewed,
but may be swallowed whole.
Magnesia Oxoids, upon contact
with the acid in the stomach,
generate nGscent, or dctiOe, oryCen.

Now, active oxygen, as any doctor
will tell you, when generated within
the digestive tract does just
the things required for acidity. It
stimulates the secretion of the
alkaline mucus. 1t checks the
putrefaction and fermentation in
the castro intestinal canal. 1t
exercises a stimulating effect upon
the activities of the intestinal walls
and aids the movement of the
bowels.
All three effects are necessary to
the true relief of acidity, and Mag
nesia Oxoids supply them in a per-
fectly natural manner.
