heart and they enjoyed immensely visit with the Millers. Tt is a wonderful plant, and every Moose has a right to feel proud of the great work it is doing" MT. Miller said.
 Other places they visited includ- ed: Washington, D. C., Chicago, Reno, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle. In all of the larger cities thousands of men are out of work and the coming winter will find unemployment even more serious than the past one was, MT. Miller was told. Authorities are giving serious consideration to ways and means of relieving the situation.
 Reno, declared MT. Miller, is wide open" It was the busiest spot encountered. Hotels and rooming houses are damned from cellar to garret. Visitors were even sleeping in chairs at the grand stand of the race track and ball park.
 Gambling games are running at full blast with tables crowded to capacity. If there is such thing as the Prohibition Act, Reno hasn't yet heard of it. He met several former Alaskans there who seemed to be doing well.

 Prevent Invasion of f Aux Bay Camp

Legal steps We're Initiated today in the United States district court by Federal officials to prevent en- croachment by Indians on the pub lie camp grounds on the north shore of Aux Bay, 25 persons being named as defendants and an in junction order being served on five of them, restraining them from building cabins or otherwise occupying the disputed lands pend- ing trial of the action.
 Those served with the order are. William E. Murphy, who claims rights through marriage to a mem Der of the Aux Bay Indian tribe, and his children by that marriage, Miles Murphy, Edward M,urp h y Elsie Murphy Jones and Mabel Murphy Nelson.
 Murphys Build House
 It is alleged that the Murphy family, on, or about, June 29, last, took possession of portion of the SuiA1P SAOuAlNo dllQ DCBdll COlloJl uC- ticn of building thereon without consent of the Government which had sometime heretofore set aside the entire tract of 76h acres of land as public camp ground.
 Other defendants in the action are: Harry and Ann Wiilard, John Doe Kazoon, Mrs. John Doe Ka- zoon. Jack Harris, Mrs. Jack Har- ris, Aux Bay Jim, Jimmy Hanson and Mrs. Jimmy Hanson, Charles Garside, Mrs Charles Garside, Mrs. Charles Garside, James Wat son and Mrs. James Watson, AL bert Martin and Mrs. Albert Mar tin, John Doe Miller and Mrs. John Doe Miller, Billy Martin and Mrs. Billy Martin and Pete Smith.
 Claim Hereditary Rights
 The defendants, it is understood claim the ground in question by right of heredity and occupancy. Their ancestors occupied the land as a village many years ago. They claim that they have maintained their rights by continued occupancy even though the old village was

shores of the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea.
 Barrow Enthusiastic
 The enthusiasm of the Point Bar row residents overran bounds and with cheers they rushed to the waterfront to watch the mooring of the plane.
 pr. Griest went out in a small boat to welcome the Lindberghs and brought them ashore. They went to the manse to rest
 Flags were quickly raised to all staffs and on igloos.
 A radio from the Lindberghs at l0:45 o'clock last night said they were flying low over fog bank and they were then turning inland to find better weather. At that time skies were clear here and a few hours later the plane was heard hYmming over Barrow.
 The Lindberghs are on the last half of their flight to the Orient.
 Northland in Ice
 The cutter Northland is blocked by ice from reaching Point Barrow and the Lindberghs may refuel at the ship, The cutter is about 100 miles from Point Barrow.
 The Lindberghs arrived here at a bad time. There is no gasoline, nor coffee, potatoes and eggs. Neith- CT is there any tobacco, but as the Lindberghs do not use tobacco, they should worry on that point. The food supplies are aboard the ships unable to reach here. Native foods and delicacies are abundant, however.

abandoned and all traces of it have long since disappeared.
 They claim that each year since, at least some of them have planted and cultivated gardens on the area and in that manner they have maintained their ancient rights.
 Forest Service Acts
 The tract is included within the limits of Tongass National Forest and in 1924, after the construc- ton of Glacier Highway through that district, it was set aside by the United States Forest Service for public use as camp ground M L. Merritt, Assistant Regional Forester and Wellman Holbrook Forest Ex aminer, in affidavits made a part of the action, assert ed that they had both examined the ground. Mir Merritt said he made an examination in 1922 and has been over it since a great num- Der of times and that he has never, either in 1922 or at any subsequent time, seen any signs of human occupancy or habitation by the defendants or anyone else :; that since May 2, 1924, the said camp ground has been continuously and openly used by the general public for the purposes for which it was set aside and that the Forest Service has con- structed, m aintained and now maintains stoves, tables. garbage pits, trails and toilets for the purpose of facilitating the use of the campground by the general public"
 Stops Construction
 Judge Justin w. Harding, in con- sideratfon of the showing made by the Forest Service, issued an in- junction restraining the Murphys from proceeding with construction, and fixed II am. Tuesday next as the time for the Murphys to ap- pear in the district court and show cause why the injunction should not continue during the pendency of the action.
 The tract is commonly called the bathing beach" and several years ago bath houses were erected there by the local Chamber of Commerce.

 Eskimos Look for Work
 Tt is pitiful to see the Eskimos from the Diomede Islands coming to Nome to look for work" the Bishop concluded. And there was very little work for them to do be- cause of the dry season and the shortage of water. Many of the white miners in the Nome District were unemployed for this reason"
 After visiting the missions at Nu- lato and Panama, Bishop Crimont returned to the coast via Nenana and Fairbanks, and over the Alas ka Railroad He plans on another journey to the interior this winter, and expects to do much travelling on the new airplane which the Church has ordered to replace the ill-fated Marquette.

BISHOP NJ0YS FIRST
 AIRpLANE RIDE
Bishop Crimont, Returning from Mission Tour,
 Describes Thrill

Returning from a two-months' tour of the interior and northwest coast of Alaska, after visiting the various missions of his diocese, Bishop J. R. Crimont, of the Roman Catholic Church, arrived in Juneau last night on the steamer Aleutian from Seward. He called at virtually all the missions ex- cept Kotzebue, and enjoyed his first trip in an airplane.
 Sailing from Seattle on the steam CT Victoria July 3, the Bishop reached Nome on July Is, in time to witness the arrival of consid- erable excitement, Bishop Crimont said. and nearly all of the residents of Nome were down on the water front to see them land. They re- ported successful hunting season having killed IT polar bears
 Travels By Airrta.:c
 The next leg of his journey from Nome to Pilgrim Springs, was made by plane. This was the Bishops first experience in air travel.
 Tt was very thrilling" Bishop Crimont said, as he described the adventure We travelled with Pilot Jones in one of the cabin planes of the Alaska Airways, Father Willebrand and myself encount- cred air pockets while crossing the sawtooth range, and dropped 500 feet very suddenly. Occasionally the good father took hold Of the legs of his chair-when the plane went through it's performance.
 Returning to St. Michael, the Bishop travelled on one of the Northern Commercial Company's boats to Akougarook His arrival there was most opportune, for he found Rev. Lucchesi. veteran Cath ollie missionary in Alaska, seriously ill from ptomaine poison. The priest recovered in a few days, however, and Bishop Crimont then continued his voyage to Holy Cross and Nulato by steamer.
 Fishing Scascn Coed
 "The InGia.i5 ai0ng the Yukon had very good fishing season, so good that they had to stop their fish wheels to keep from catching more salmon than they could use" said the Bishop. "Thc question of allowing canneries to operate on the Lower Yukon is being discussed everywhere, and Delegate James Wickersham has written to many of the people there, asking their opinion.
 Viewing the batter from pure ly economic standpoint, the Catho- lie missionaries along the Yukon are of the opinion that cannery operation would be a good thing for the Indians. It would enable them to earn money by selling fish to the canneries. From moral as- |pect, however, all is not so clear. If the canning companies were per- rnitted to bring undesirable work

Stubtail Has Experience.
Beware Of things not understood,
Lest they bode III instead of good.
Old Mother Nature.


Stubtail the Mountain Beaver had
been much disturbed when he had dis
covered Farmer Browns Boy sitting
near one Of the holes and had retired
very much upset, for he is timid little
fellow and very bashful. 1t was the
frst time he had been out in daylight
for a long time, and he wouldn't have
gone this time had 1t not been such
dark day. BY the time night came he
was quite over his scare, and he and
Mrs. Stubtail we're out early, for they
had much work to do.
To begin with, they made some calls
on friends living near. OF course, Stub
tail had to tell them all about his
fright that day and be congratulated
on his escape from that two-legged
creature who. as you and I know, he
really had no reason to fear at all. 1t
often is that way all through life-we
do not fear that of which we should be
afraid and we do fear that which is
harmless. So it was quite late when he
and Mrs. Stubtail actually got to work
cutting plants which they intended TO
store away for future use.
What was. that?" exclaimed Stubtail
suddenly as he stopped work and sat
up in order that he might see better.
What was WHAT" demanded Mrs
Stubtail somewhat Grossly, for she had
seen nothing and she didn't like being
interrupted in her work.
Il saw a strange light over there. 1t
was just a fash. but it was different
from any light ever have seen," re-
piled Stubtail
Mrs. Stubtail sat up long enough for
a good look all around. 1t was very
dark, so, of course, she couldn't see far
but to see light one wouldn't have to
see far. For a couple of minutes they
sat there. Then Mrs. Stubtail went back
to work. Don't be foolish" said she.
There are no stars and no moon to-
night. so, of course, there cannot be
any light. You are nervous. 1t is just
nerves. That is what it is-nerves. You
haven't recovered from the scare you
had when you were so foolish as to go
out in daylight. Don't be silly"
I'm not silly, and did see light"
retorted Stubtail Indignantly. Never
theless. he resumed work, although he
stopped between every few bites to look
about.
There it is againp he exclaimed
suddenly
1t happened that this time Mrs.
Stubtail looked up just in time to see
it also and promptly forgot all about
work. 1t was long beam of light that
lasted only an instant and seemed to be
down near the ground.
For a couple of minutes all was as

dark as before. Then the light flashed
again and this time 1t lasted longer
than before and moved from side to
side.
Now. tell me that IL was nerves and
that am silly" whispered Stubtail.
st take 1t all back" replied Mrs.
Stubtail. what do you suppose 10
neanss"
ut is moving this way!" exclaimed
Stubtail. backing toward the nearest
entrance to one of their tunnels.
Mrs. Stubtail simply sat right where
she was. She wasn't afraid. She was
fascinated by that strange light moving
this way and that, flashing for an In
slant and then disappearing ALI the
time it was drawing nearer. 1t was the
strangest thing she ever had known,
and instead OF fear q great curiosity
took possession of her. Had not Stub
