J. S. FISHERIES LEAVE
 UNIVERSITY CAMPUS

The Fisheries International com mission, located since 1925 on the campus of the University of Wash ington at Seattle, has moved to new quarters in the federal building, re- gently completed for the United States Bureau of Fisheries in the Montlake district.
 The bureau of fisheries was moved to Seattle last spring from the Stanford campus at Palo Alto to carry on active scientific in- vestigation of the salmon and herring industry in Alaska.
 The International Fisheries com mission has been given complete jurisdiction in devising ways and means to counteract depletion of the halibut industry carried on in international waters, by a recent treaty between. Canada and the United States.
 Dr. w. F. Thompson, professor of fisheries at the university, will con duct the work of the commission and will be in close contact with the department of oceanography and fisheries of the university because of similarity of their work.

is generally opposed to reserva- tions, an exception was made in this case because the district is isolated and partly because h. dians there are so dependent upon hunting and fishing for a living, it was said.
 Alaska from our standpoint, :" he said, is chiefly important be- cause it represents a new way of handling the natives with non reservation schools. In the States we have 20 schools having 300 to 1000 pupils removed from familiar surroundings Here the schools have been established in the com munities in which the children live and here the Indian has not been expected to fit into the white mans mode of living but has been trained to do better the things to which he is accustomed. This philosophy and practice is sounder than the corresponding philosophy and practice in the States. The weakness has been that the pol icies have not been pushed az gressively enough"

TABLET UNVEILED H0NORS
 MEMORY SIMON FRASER

VANCOUVER, Aug. 5.-British Columbia honored the memory Of Simon Fraser, discoVerer of the great river that bears his name, when a tablet was unveiled at Lookout Point on the south shore Of Marine Drive, today.
 The table takes the form of a stone shaft, which was erected last year by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
 Not far from the spot, near Mar pole, Fraser was compelled to turn back after navigating the river southward by hostile Indians, who inhabited large rancherie at the rivers mouth. It was here that ex- caYations have shown the existence of a long wall, part of the largest Indian Qualifications in the Pacific Northwest.

Leo P. Bott, Jr., of Little Rock Arkansas. is well known throughout Alaska, having visited here upon four different occasions. He is an enthusiast of the northern country and recently was very much per turbed because Ripley. the writer, in his Believe it or not" column wrote that "The nearest country to tropical Hawaii is Bleak Alaska. !" This brought forth a long letter from Bott to Ripley, taking ex- ception to the term bleak, and further declaring: 'I can state that generally speaking Alaska is rich in vegetation, and the forests in Southeast Alaska are as dense as in the tropics. This is due to the abundant rainfall warmth from the Japanese current, and long hours of sunlight. In summer it is pleasantly warm, and in winter in portions of Alaska, it is no colder than in Washington, D. C., Denver, Winnipeg and other points. You would be amazed at the vegetation, the enormous sized vegetables that aer grown, the beautiful colored flowers, the agricultural opportuni- ties, the freindliness of the natives and true Alaskans, and if you would travel there, you would soon change your thought of bleak Alaska" Believe it or not" it is just such honest. praise as this that is in ducing the tourists of the United States to visit Alaska every summer b the increasing thousands.

INDIAN BUREAU OFFICIAL FINDS PANAMA GROUP
 NATIVES INTERESTING u

The Tetlin Indian group is one of the most interesting groups of Indians have seen anywhere in Alaska or in the States said Dr.. W. Carson Ryan, Jr., director of education for the Bureau of In- dian Affairs, who made a trip to the upper Tanana recently, ac- cording to the Fairbanks News Miner.
 Tt is a small community with not over 90 inhabitants. They have a chief, Pete Joe, who is very jealous in guarding the food supply so it will last through the winter. Right now they are busy drying white fish for use during the winter. Tellin Indians are particularly clean and health con- ditions on the whole are excellent. !"
 The Tetlin Indians, and in fact those in all native villages Dr. Ryan visited, have in his opinion a better chance for economic de- velopment than many living in the States.>
 At Tetlin they have good gar dens and reserves of fish and game upon which to live. "The gardens" he said, "were made pos sible largely through the efforts Of Jack Singleton, the government teacher there for the past several years. He is a good example of what the Bureau of Education has done in improving conditions among the Indians. Tetlin na- lives built their own schoolhouse. although, of course, part of the material was furnished by the government"
 Tanana Crossing, said Dr. Ryan, is a larger village than Tetlin but health conditions there are not so good. Investigation will be made of the practicability of teaching the Indians fur farming, but this program, said Dr. Ryan, is much less definite than the appointment of a nurse.
 The Upper Tanana region sur rounding the villages has been re- served from entry by presidential order and while the Indian Bureau

POLAR BEARS KILLED
 SOUTH USUAL HABITAT

Presumably caught in ice drift ing southward, three polar bears were killed recently by Clark Bas- sett, Alaskan Airways agent at Nome. Another polar bear is re- ported to have been killed near Unalakleet. It is said there are few instances in which the white bears have been so far south. It is presumed they were working their way north along the beaches after reaching land from the drifting ice.

The residents of Rampant write that they are greatly disappointed because their petition for rebuild ing two bridges across Big Manook river. and the repair and extension of the Government road to meet the present Hot Springs highway at Eureka has not received more substantial attention. The Alaska Road Commission is building a small bridge at the mouth of the Little Manook, but the residents say this will be of little service to any of the other creeks, as it is inaccessible to Hoosier. Hunter or Manook Junior The request for the building of a highway to Eureka would first have to be reported on by the engineers as a new project and the money then provided for it. It is hoped that this may be done next year.

In an Alaskan case that was be- fore the General Land Office last week it was made clear that where an entryman failed to make his homestead his real home for ven months out of a year for tn
 years during a continuous residence of five years, he forfeited his right to a patent. The fact that the claimant may have been very seriously ill much of the time and physically unable to reside on the homestead, unless he had been com mitted to an insane asylum, is not considered a valid excuse for lack of residence. Where illness has been the preventative cause :. failure to secure patent an op- portunity is usually given for an- other filing by the same person.

There have been approxi- mately 100 men over the ages of fifty and sixty employed since the order was issued.

The office of Supervising Archi- tect, at the Treasury Department, is very, very busy place of activity these hot summer days. Although Alaska has only one building prof eet about to be contracted for, some of the states are wildly crying for action. But with $70O,000, 900 made available since 1928, for Federal buildings, the pressure on the Supervising Architects of lice has been tremendous. As a result many of the projected build ings have not been designed, and the claimants must patiently await their turn. There is absolutely no politics in this delay, as was evil denced the other day when Senator Hiram Bingham, strong Admins tration supporter, started to find out why there was so much com plaint from the different sections of his own state. He learned that over $5,000,000 had been appro- priated for Connecticut projects during the past three years, but that only one of the smallest, $140,000 building at Milford, was under construction. And this not withstanding the policy of the Ad- ministration to relieve unemploy- ment. The Delegate has been doing everything possible to urge action on the completion of plans and specifications so that bids could be asked for the construction of the S45O,000 Federal building at Fair banks. But there has been one delay after another, the latest be- cause of suggestion that the soil at Fairbanks would not allow of the construction of a concrete build ing. But this idea has finally been set aside and assurance is given that the advertising for bids would be sent out in a few days.
