Rare Indian Bear Dog Is Shipped
 From WrqngeN To Arkansds Man

The Arkansas Gazette of Little Rock, printed an article recently of rare Indian bear dog which was shipped a few weeks ago by F. A. Cooper of Wrangell to Leo P. Bott Jr., of Little Rock, Ark. The article follows;
 There arrived in Little Rock re- gently, by express, a crate which bore the pertinent warning: Dog will bite.' Express company em- ployes gingerly unloaded the crate and thankfully turned it over to the eonsignee, Leo P. Bott Jr., head of the Bott Advertising Agency.
 MT. Bott has bought dog. He has come-all the way from Alaska and he was now to see his pur- chase for the time.
 He took the crate home and, mindful of the warning, inspected the canine occupant. It was the kind of dog he wanted, all right, an Indian bear dog (about which more will said later), but this particular animal was-well, not so hot
 It was dirty and sullen and peevish and looked as though it might fulfill to the letter the pro phetic placard: Dog will bite. !" But MT Bott established the All askan visitor in comfortable quar- ters in the back yard of his home at 16O Pearl street, and hoped for the best.
 At first, the nights were made hideous by the mournful bowling of the Indian bear dog from Alas ka, which had no bears, no Indians, and no Alaska scenery to cure its nostalgia. MT. Bott was beginning to repent of his interest in Indian bear dogs, and his neighbors were beginning to be thankful they liv- ed no nearer to Alaska, where, presumably. there are lot of Indian bear dogs.
 But bsh, good food, comfort able quarters, and patient human sympathy and attention soon work ed wonders. Now, you wouldn't

 Light Committee Councilman Hanford suggested that during the construction of the light plant the light committee ar range to meet at least once each week for the discussion of light problems which can be disposed of without the action of the council.
 Old School Building
 Councilman Hanford suggested the securing of an estimate of costs of building a new city jail; also the alteration of the old grade school building for the city clerks office. On motion it was decided that this matter be deferred for the present as the lighting depart ment required all the attention and funds available.
 Band Instruments
 The City Clerk stated that a re- quest had been made by Supt. Rasmussen to take over and care for the band instruments as a part of the school property; the clerk was instructed to deliver the in- struments and take a receipt for the same.
 Light Rates
 The clerk reported at the re- quest of several light users com plaints as to the new schedule of lighting rates and more partic- ularly the minimum charge as now fixed. No action was taken on this.
 The following claims were read and upon motion were approved. General ......... $4192.09

WRANGELL KING SALMON REACHES SIOUX CITY
 IN GOOD CONDITION

Newspapers of Sioux City, Iowa, recently featured the. arrival of 27-pound iced white king salmon sent by express to Postmaster and Mrs. w. H. Jones by Mrs. James H. Wheeler of Wrangell. The fish reached Sioux City in excellent condition and provided most delect- able meals for a number of people. MT. and Mrs Jones are the par ents of Dr. Clifford Jones of Sioux City, who had a Wrangell practice a few years ago.

recognize in the sleek, handsome even playful-animal the dis reputable, homesick creature that arrived by express short time ago.
 The dog boasts the unusual name of "Stikine," but the name is no more unusual than the dog. MT. Bott thinks his Indian bear dog is probably the only one in the United States.
 He saw his first one two years ago when he was in Alaska, and became interested in the rare breed. When he returned, he wrote the American Kennel Club about 1t. That organization had no in formation concerning Indian bear dogs, but suggested that MT. Bott write the Canadian Kennel Club, since the dogs seemed to be found only in the territory around Wran gelI. Alaska, and Telegraph Creek, B. C., the terminus of the Stikine river boat line.
 MT Bott wrote to the Canadian organization, and finally was re- ferred to the Dog World, which is devoted to all breeds of dogs. He learned that the Indian bear dog is now almost extinct, and, so far as can be ascertained. is aboriginal. It was found on the North Ameri can continent by the first white people and is believed to have come over from Siberia, with the first Indians.
 q believe this dog is a cross be- tween a fox an da Siberian husky" said MT. Bott. Tt has a fox-like head. particularly the eyes, and a fox-lil1e tail-almost brush-and the body is white with a heavy coat of coarse tair. It's size also resembled Siberian husky, which of course, is different breed of dog from the famed Alaskan husky, or malemute."
 Having learned this much about the Indian bear dog MT. Bott de- cided he would like to own one, Continued on Page Three)

HOOVER CONSIDERS
MONEY STUDY BODY
May Name Commission to
Search for Means to Make
Dollar Stable.
BY the Associated Press.

President Hoover has under conSid-
Grafton appointment Of commission
to study means of stabilizing the pur-
chasing power of the dollar.
For the past three years the subject
has been studied by some of the best
American minds. While some progress
has been mcNie, 1t has been confined
largely to pl\eciation of the need OF
equilibrium in price levels, particularly
on commodities.
FinancierS, jurists, international
lawyers and farm organizations have
been doing some research. Representa-
tive Ramseyer of Iowa, a member OF
the House Ways and Means Committee,
undertook a study of the problem at
the request of the Iowa Bar Association
a year ago. The Stable Money Associa-
ton. headed by Frederic A. Delano OF
Washington, D. c., and listing among
its personnel scores Of national figures,
is conducting an inquiry.
Asked for Commission.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton appealed to Mr.. Hoover TO desig-
nate q commission to flnd a solution
to the ductuation in money values and
a possible remedy to prevent correspond
ing influence on commodity prices. Pre-
viously officials of the federation made
the suggestion and he asked them to
return this month to discuss the matter.
They said unstable purchasing power
was more responsible for rises and fails
in price levels than the law OF supply
and demand. Serious evils, they stress
ed, attended wide fluctuations In the
general price level. They urged COM

and when any sudden change affects

Representative RamSeyer said that
