moods. For instance he treated us to
"all-day suckers" recently. Who could
ask for more fitting and proper treat
for us! Thanks, George.
Oh, say Snuce, just how many boxes
did you pack when you had that lady
visitor the other day? One? Now you're

 HAYES ALLOWED.
 THEIR LIBERTY
Salvagers of Islander Gold Freed on Recognizance
 and Proceed South

Russell Clithero and Capt. c. A. Hayes, arrested early this week at Ketchikan, charged with viola ting the Alaska Game Law, have been released on their own recog- nizance by United States Commis- sioner w. 0. Arnold, Ketchikan, and are enroute to Seattle, accord ing to advices received at the office of United States Attorney here. They have agreed to return here, at date unspecified, to face the charges, it was said, but no bond was required of them.
 Clithero and Hayes. who have been in charge of operations at the old Islander wreck, were accused of taking and possessing deer out of season. They are alleged to have killed number of deer dur ing the summer and fed them to men in their crew.
 Members of the crew, it is under stood, reported the matter to the Alaska Game Commission. Definite dates are given on which each man is alleged to have killed deer on Admiralty Island and taken them to camp to feed the working force.
 A dlspute over whether the crew had wages coming them is under stood to have led to the revelations of game law violations. The men, it is reliably reported, were denied a settlement when Clithero and Hayes got ready to leave for the south. The workmen claimed that they were promised wages, but that no definite figure was fixed at the time they went to work
 Clithero and Hayes are reported to have said they had not hired the men to work for wages. They claim to have picked up four or five men who were unable to obtain employ ment, telling them that they would be provied with board and lodging, only, and that nothing was said about payment of wages. At any rate, when they were preparing to go south, the crew demanded set clement which was not forthcoming Some of the crew then reported the alleged violations of the Alas ka game law.

KOYUKUK GIVES
 SCIENTIST HIS
 HAPP|EST YEAR
Dr. Robert Marshall Says Residents of Isolated
 Region Are Happy

More than a year spent in the Koyukuk has led Dr. Robert Mar shall, scientist and author, of New York City, to the belief that the northern country's residents are not unfortunate in their isolation but have the privilege of living life to the full on a plane meas urably above that of parts of the world where civilization is gener- ally regarded as being more ad- vanced.
 A desire to continue forestry stu dies begun in 1929 led pr. Mar shall to Wiseman last year and he remained there from the middle of August until a few weeks ago, when he left to return home.
 In New York City this winter he will work up his data on tree growth and distribution at the nor- thern timberline. Dr. Marshall will also complete map of 12,000 square miles of country from the Alatna River across to the Middle Fork of the Koyukuk River, which, aside from those two streams and the John River, had previously been a geological blank.
 Followed Numerous Rivers During his stay in the North Dr. Marshall followed 10 of the IS rivers tin the Koyukuk drainage north. of the Arctic Circle to their sources by horse packing, back packing, dog sledding or boating.
 An interesting fact he discov- cred was that tree growth in the Arctic is similar to growth far ther south in that trees grow in the night time and shrink in the day time. It was thought possible there might be variance due to the light nights but growth fol- lows the same cycle as elsewhere.
 "The last year in the Koyukuk has been the best year I've ever put in, and that's saying lot, for I've always had a good time,' said pr.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-10-29

Marshall. But up there in the Arctic I did more in a year, saw more beauty and lived with con- genial friends than I had ever done before.
 High Order of Civilization
 Furthermore, i came to regard the civilization on the Koyukuk as the highest have yet encoun- tered during a bit of knocking around among varied civilizations of the Outside. For have never known group of people any where who were on the average as happy as my friends to the north, and happiness would seem to be the true measure of civilization.
 Really, think the Outside world could take quite a num- Der of valuable lessons from the Koyukukers-lessons more import
