War
 4, California

Two price wars have been in progress in San Francisco for several weeks. And this war has brought. cost of bread and gaso- fine to the lowest figures on re- cord in the Golden Gate City.
 The gasoline war was general along the Pacific Coast but it 2entered in San Francisco, the headquarters of the "big Six'' companies, and sent the price of fuel down to ' cents a gallon.
 The bread war, principally en- gagged in by four chain grocery systems, reached a critical stage recently when one of the com panies started selling three one round loaves for 10 cents. Bread was sold by both chain stores md commercial bakeries at g cents for siXteen-ounce loaves and IA cents for 24-ounce loaves.
 The most significant develop ment in the gasoline war was the competitive price" order is- sued by the major companies, the first time they had taken his step in competing with the
 mall independent refiners. By this method the larger concerns Ire selling gasoline in their sta ions at the same price as quot : d by neighboring independents.

Juneau Takes Dig
 At Sec. Y ork

Insisting that Alaska is not a place for people to come in the hope of employment or riches, the Juneau Chamber of Com merce last week instructed it's secretary to write strong let ter" to Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, protesting against a statement attributed to him ad- vising young men in the states desiring to better themselves to go to Alaska.
 The secretary was told to ad- vIse the department head there are more men in the Territory than can find work, unemploy- rnent is constantly increasing and persons coming north nave ample funds to return to their homes in event they do not secure employment.
 The Secretary was asked to ltake some means to counteract his recommendations by giving
 publicity to the actual state o1 affairs in the Territory.
 The editor of this paper would suggest that the Secretary ere ate more bureau jobs in Alaska to bring in more people. Ger, tainly no other work is opening up to take care of the overflow which is coming north.

Wn. Talks Of
 Timber Tax

On May 27th at Spokane, Wn.
 county commissioners and as
 sesSorS of all Eastern Washing
 ton counties will meet in Spo- kane for a conference on tim Der tax problems. The meeting is being arranged by the Tim Der products Bureau of the Spo- iane Chamber of Commerce with Richard Mckay as chair man in. charge of the program.
 The major problem for con- sideration at the meeting will be that of returning tax delin- puent logged-off lands to the tax rolls. Another conference along similar lines will be held later for Northern Idaho area, and the timber tax question al so will be taken up at the North Idaho Chamber of Commerce at Bcnners Ferry in June.
 Land areas of Alaska outside of incorporated towns, bring in no tax revenue whether develop ed or otherwise. It is virtually to get the lands out of the hands of the government If there is any timber standing on proposed homesteads. The political interests of the Terri tory are looking to devise means to increase Territorial revenue. The ownership of Alaska land is one means that has been over cooked.

Many Tourists to
 Come to North

The Territory of Alaska, says statement from the Depart r1ent of the Interior, is becom- ing popular as a resort for tour !sts. Thirty-five thousand ex- cursionists last year visited Southeastern Alaska. An ex- cursion of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce took 173 people to the Far North, and is being repeated this year with the expectation that there will oe 200 people in the party. Fol- lowing the lead of Los Angeles, Seattle sent 37, and now Port land Chamber of Commerce is sending an excursion Of 80 pee- pie to Alaska, and the Sierra Club of San Francisco is also Sponsoring a party. All of these agencies and many others will operate on excursions for the coming summer.
 Many of these excursions go TO further than Southeastern Alaska. This year the Alaska Railroad is also conducting a Government employees excur- sion from Washington to Alaska, and two or three great railroad systems in the United States and Canada are likewise plan ring excursions from New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
 Horace M. Albright, Director of the National Park Service, will visit Alaska this summer as will a number of Government officials interested in the reor- ganized administration of that Territory.

WHO SAID COAL SHORTAGE?

A few years ago, we remember the hysteria which was sweeping the land over conservation of this, that and the other thing, included in which was the little item called coal.
 Today the federal geological survey declares that there is sufficient coal to supply the na- tion for hundreds of years at the present rate of consump- ton. The reserves are placed at more than three trillion tons and estimates were limited to a depth of 5000 feet. European mines are operated at a depth If more than $500 feet in re- gions where coal is scarce.

THE SAME OLD STORY.

Following a partial strike, pre- cipitated by a downward revi- sion of prices paid by packers of clans and buyers of salmon, there was a general acceptance of the revised scaleat Cordova. Clam diggers returned to work and will be paid at the rate of four and a half cents per pound.
 Independent fishermen agreed 10 sell their red salmon at 2712 cents as against 35 cents last season and SIPS for kings as against $1.50 a year ago. The companies furnish the fisher men with oil, gasoline, bread and some other supplies.
 The packers assert that reduc- tion in prices is necessary on account of the general depres- sion in the states. They do not show, however, that the depres- ,ion has not effected prices of -anned red and king salmon; that the depression has hit the lower grade fish but reds are up to SIP and $14 per case.

Bureau School to
 Haue Exhibit

The Bureau School will hold it's school exhibit next Sunday May 24th from 1 to 3 and 5 to ' o'clock D. m. Much of the work that the pupils have done during the year, will be on dis play, Everyone is cordially in- yited.
 For the first time since the Government has taken over the education of Indian children in Alaska, the pupils have been ac- "orded a nine-month school tenn. This was an experiment on the part of the Bureau of Education. Statistics will de- velop whether or not the Indian Bureau will carry on this longer term The Alaska Native Bro- +nerhood which has been damn ed for the political ills of the Territory should be damned for raising the general average at tendance as well as forcing a better equipment and better qualified, teaching force. No one not even including the Bureau of Education itself, has done more to bring the Alaska Indian to education.

Alaska Is Again
 Excepted

President Hoover ordered the Bureau to cease all leas- ing of national forest timber eX- Cept in. Alaska.
 In Alaska leases will continue for the cutting of pulp wood. In this country only transactions of not over $500 in order to pro tect the small farmer. Hear, Hear.
 Secretary of Agriculture Hyde III recent letter:
 q believe it would be desire able now to more positively de- fine the limitations of all leases by the Bureau of Forests except for pulp purposes in Alaska, to occasions when a sum of not more than $500 is involved and 10 cases where some cutting pri- viliges must be given actually to maintain sawmills that are in operation and this only where the mills cannot obtain raw ma terials elsewhere.
 "The only reason I am moved to make these exceptions is that we should not deprive farmers and small industries of wood supply and should not create unemployment by inconsiderate action"

Failure to Aid
 Bars Citizenship

Will an alien who has failed to provide for the support of a wife and two daughters in his native land make a desireable citi- zen of the United States? This is a question that Federal Judge George M. Bourquin of Seattle took under advisement in the case of Christopher Larson, na- tive of Norway who had made for American citi- zenship.
 Larson had sent his family transportation to join him in 1929 but they never came nor wrote to him and since that time ,le has contributed nothing to their support.

From there it is believed they moved down the coast: by way of Kodiak Island and Cooks Inlet. just south and east of the pen inSula.
 Indian legends, from the Thlinget people of southeastern Alaska describe a migration that took place over a long term of years and across a vast contin- ent, following up to the head waters of tho Stikeen River. The band here split-one branch following down the river and to spread north and south; the other half travelling across the interior back of the mountain ranges only to divide as they came to the Taku, Chilkat, Cop per and Yukon Rivers. Both groups retain in the main the
 cgend with little variation.
 There no doubt was a migra- tion from the Siberian coast b 1t only in small groups which irtermarried with the Athabas- can stock which is the root of all Indian stock in Alaska. The investigators would do we'll to follow up the Indian legends as they will no doubt be able to trace the migratory movements of these people from the south to rather than from the north south.

Scientist WM Trace Migration
 10 Connect With Mongolians

Dr. Hrdlicka anthropologiSt connected with the Smithsonian Institute left the states recent ly on one of the Alaska Packers ships for the Arctic Belt where he will make an effort, to follow ancient sea and land trails ov- CT which men are believed to have come to America. He pro- poses to retrace the routes which scientists think must have been followed by small groups that from Siberia to North America as much as seven thou sand years ago.
 These people, close relatives of the old Mongolian and Siberi- an nomads, are believed by many to have been the first human beings to come to North Ameri- ca, pr. Hrdlicka said, adding that they probably crossed the narrow Boring Strait in skin ca noes, a common practice among the Eskimos today, making their way along the Alaskan coast and from island to island.
 Dr. Hrdlicka will explore the root of the Alaskan peninsula extending out from the south western corner of Alaska into the Pacific Ocean. He believes canoe parties moving along the Alaskan coast cut across it by following the rivers that flow from both sides of it's watershed
