BIOLOGICAL SURVEY MAN
 REPORTS ON LONG TRIP

 the third day; and it was while attempting to take off that the
 accident to the landing gear oc- cured, that detained the plane,
 and for long time caused grave apprehension for the safety of the men and plane. Nothing was known of their fate here for over two weeks, for the obvious reason there is no modern means of com munication along that coast and it was not until an airplane from Nome went in search that tidings were heard.
 After the accident Miller engag- ed a dog team to take him to Elephant Point. They started on their jounrey at ? P. M. and at 12 o'clock that night reached their destination: distance of sixty one miles.
 Next day with another native dog team Mir Miller made the big reindeer camp on the Nabotoolik river. This was the objective he left Nome to accomplish, having instructions to report to his sup ervisors several matters of infor- nation, the biological survey de sired. Next day in frontier style Christmas was celebrated and on December the 26th, the big trek of the large herd of 3400 deer was under way: on the longest drive ever attempted; from Kotze- bue Sound to east of the Mac kenzie River. The Canadian gov ernment is financing the proposi- tion, and in few years the in creases of this herd will range from the Mackenzie to the coast of Labrador. The herd is com posed of select young stock that have been raised in a state of rative wildness, and are very undomesticated Hence the very best and most experienced herders have been secured for the job, because such stock are hard to handle and extremely difficult to pilot over the trackless wastes and mountain barriers they have to cross before reaching their des tination. 8 Eskimo herders and a dog team are also employed.
 MT. Miller says it was sight not soon to be forgotten. as the herders after breaking camp mass ed the animals in solid formation. while the shrill short barks of the shepherd dogs could hardly be heard above the noise of the crunching snow, as the animals
The Nome nugget., 1930-02-08

1 faced the rising sun. The chiei herder is Andrew Bahr with three other Laplanders. Mike Niltuka Iver West, anl Andrew Bango. Bahr, Mlluka, and West have been in Alaska in 1898: but the history | of their lives is a story in itself, and before the drive is over will doubtless be given to the world by many writers.
 MT. Miller accompanied the drive as far as the Selawik Riv- CT, and by that time having ac- quired the information he sought he started for Nome on Jan. 17th. The return trip was made by dog team, and strange coincidence happened on the trip that is wor- thy of record. When he reached Elephant Point pilot Graham came in next morning, after his long delay at Deering. As he was going to the Shungnak for some
 % passengers, Miller concluded to travel by the. dog team mail and arrived in Nome on January 18th ahead of Graham, though Graha m returned to Nome via Fairbanks.
 Elephant Point he says is d miniature production of the Chic ago stock yards. Slaughtering was fully underway. and i've hundred deer are being butchered daily. Over 10000 carcasses will be in cold storage before February first. A crew of 65 men are employed. From Elephant Point to Nome the trip was devoid of any incidents worthy of mention.
 The above story while furnish ing news item, is not without moral, and it is this: That we hope our government will give us a radio station at Candle, the most central point on that long stretch of country, isolated worse than it was 20 years ago" Mining com panies with penty of capital are Investigating the undeveloped re- sources of that vast area. The reindeer industry is forging ahead by leaps and bounds Labor is finding employment in the wake of these developme Business in that section is prosperous. The population is bound to increase and is now increasing. And last bet not least We in Nome are penalized by lack of communica- tion, not knowing for weeks of the fate of plane with it's prec~ ious human cargo; not knowing but what they might have met the same fate that befell that great American Flyer who perished in Siberia. How long? Oh Lord. How long?

BASKETBALL WHEN ITS
 BASKETBALL

Creating delightful and exciting expressions of surprise and won der. the "Panthers" basFttbali quintet tromped away with the second game of the series between the two town teams the ,"Polecats" and the Panther.
 About the same sized crowd at- tended this game as the first one, but oh! what a crowd, when the Panther" opened up with the biggest and most surprising upset of this years basketball seas on. It has been rumored that the next game will be sort of a grudge affair, the "Polecats' be- ing outcIassed all around, and thir- sting for blood. A more exciting game has never been played, the "Panthers" being out from the first to get the other team and the boys were sure taken aback.
 It was close all the way thru, although the "PantheTs" were ney- CT led once during. the game. How the house would roar when those boys started on basket-making spree, running on play after play in staatGing rapidity, tesYfyhg to their determina tion during the past week of practise, to better eAe "Poleca4s" in every depart- ment of the game. They cer- tainly accomplished. their pur' ehase. But they haven't bluffed the other boys at all, in fact they had better watch out for they're sore enough to bite canvas.
 Probably due to the extreme cold weather prevailing for the last two weeks many people have been forced to stay at home rath' CT than brave the clements, but next weeks game which will be played Thursday, Feb. 13, it has been foretold, will probably draw a huge crowd to see the third game both teams now having one piece
 Due to conflicting social events the game has been scheduled fol Thursday evening at the regular time, instead of Tuesday.

Ross Kinney, superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission aE- rived in town Thursday from the Kougarok. He reports the shel- ter cabins in good shape. and in his inspection noticed where con- siderable distance might be say ed by re-staking the kougarok trail to Taylor Creek, which will certainly be done next summer.
 MT. Kinney states that Jerry Sullivan and Frank Miller are busy hauling pipe to Homestake Creek, getting ready for summer hydraul- icing. Everybody in the Kougar- ok is in good health with the exception of Harry Gavin, who was leaving for the Serpentine Springs to recuperate from sore back.
 The weather was extremely stormy with temperature from seventeen to twenty below, making travel almost impossible during most of the trip. From the railroad Hot Springs shelter cabin, trail will be staked to the Hot Springs IT. on Creek trail. and from the shel- ter cabin to Shelton, it was made known in an interview.

FARMERS IN Va.
IGNORE. HELP

ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 12.-De-
spite the insiStence of agricul-
tural leaders that some provision
be, made to aid the farmers Of
this drought-stricken area, the
individual farmers themselves
have not yet begun to ask Gov
ernment help. -
: Observers believe that the ma
iority of the farmers do not
realize the problem confronting
them.
They are faced with situa-
ton which they have never be-
fore encountered, and seem but
slightly to appreciate the serious
ness Of the predicament in which
they viii find themselves through
the scarce months Of the winter
and when the time draws near
to finance another crop.
A trip through the Shenandoah
Valley revealed only two farmers
who were considering ways and
means OF. securing Government
aid. One was farmer Of Au-
gusta county, who called on the
county agent in Staunton to in
uuire about getting seed Joan
from the 100000 the Federal
Government has placed at the
\ 'ynspoSal Of Virginia farmers.

ST|RS GOSSIP

Col. Hanford MacNider, new

dition and technically violated the
law when he presented his letters
Of credence to Premier Bennett
recently, attired in his army dress
uniform, but 1t was considered
unlikely today that the State De-
partment would do anything
about it.
MacNider. past national COM
mander of the American Legion,
a former assistant secretary of
war, and n mber Of the army
reserve corps, chose to dress in
his regimentals rather than ap-
pear in the traditional dress of
q diplomat. 7-e11. q $50 ~.
The department admitted tech
nically MacNider had violated the
law which placed ban on any
sort of uniform for American dip
loTnatic representatives. Officials
said, however. that MacNider had
asked permission to wear his
regimentals, and that it had been
granted under a law enacted in
1867 permitting Civil War ,veter:-
ans to wear their, uniforms in
the diplomatic service abroad. Of
ficials construed the law to mean
that Congress intended veterans
Of all wars to appear in their
military uniforms as diplomats.
The episode was first brought
to public attention by .publica-
ton Of a photograph taken of
MacNider and Premier Bennett,
the latter in formal afternoon at
tire and MacNider wearing his
gold braided peace time blues"
and all his medals.
