 Thos. H. Marsilje of Holland, Michigan, speaking of his Alaskan trip says:
 T remember you we'll and was glad to hear from you. I note you have met a lot of Michigan people and I certainly will do my share in boosting the people to take a trip to Alaska which has the most won- derful scenery I have ever seen." A. w. Pollard, a prominent attor- ney of Deming, New Mexico, was in Alaska in 1928, taking the Golden Belt Tour. He was accompanied by his wife and daughter. Speaking of his trip he says:
 T enjoyed my trip to Alaska, the new friends that I made and the many courtesies shown me by the people of your territory. am es- pecially indebted to you for the many kindnesses shown me and I trust that some day I may be able to reciprocate.

INDIAN TRICK DETECTED
 F|sHER|Es DEPARTMENT

The federal department of fish, cries has at last broken up the seal snout racket, says the Prince Ru- pert News.
 The government has been paying a bounty of 8 per nose for hair seals slaughtered off the west coast. The hair seals have been proved to be destructive to the sal- mon run and other valuable com mercial fish, and for that reason the government rewards hunters who reduce the herds. The noses are sent as proof that the seals have been killed.
 In the past the Indians, who have been the chief claimants for rewards, have sent in their con- Signment of hair seal noses in small boxes, a dozen or so, and even less, at time. When a shipment of 600 noses arrived recently, officials were puzzled. Either a mighty hunter had succeeded in getting a far greater number than had ever before been accomplished, or else the hair seals had suddenly become more numerous. Suspicious arose when the Indians who turned in the large consignment said they would accept half the bounty if the government could not afford to pay the entire sum owing. The payment was deferred.
 Meanwhile, reports brought back by sea lion hunters helped to solve the mystery. Sea lions are slaught- cred off the west coast as well as hair seals because of the destruc- tion they cause among salmon and other fish. The sea lion hunters were surprised to find large num- bers of sea lion pups whose shouts had been cut off. Examination sub sequently showed that the noses of hair seals and young sea lions are practically identical. Experts have discovered a way of distin- gushing them, however, and all noses received in the future will not only be counted but subjected to a severe test The Indians have been warned that sea lion shouts will not recieve a bounty when masqueraded as hair seals.

BUSINESS SEEN AS
MODERATELY \ BETTER
Favorable Factors Now Out
weigh Depressing Ones, As
serts Dun's Review

Business is seen as moderately
better" IN the current review OF trade
conditions by the r. g. Dun COM
pany. Most important among the
favorable developments r the In
creased steel output. steadiness In
textile prices and higher quotations
for hides. The gloomier side Is that
foreign trade has diminished still
further.
The review says in part:
Evidences of business betterment
grow more distinct as the close Of the
first quarter draws nearer, there hav-
ing been {. gradual upturn from the
unusually low level Of activity at the
last year-end. The gains now dis
closed are scattered and In most cases
only moderate, yet the movement Is
strengthened by some supporting
phases which tend to increase conf
dence.
1.-THE present commercial advance,
while highly irregular and mainly the
outcome of seasonal stimulus, rests
upon q more solid basis than was true
Of the temporary uplife in the spring
Of 1880, for various necessary read
justments have been effected since
that period. Much yet remains to be
accomplished In the process Of emer-
gence from severe depression, but
something is being added each week
to the recent improvement. and this
Is encouraging.
"On the negative side, the adverse
statistical records and the unsatis-
factory earnings statements Of rail-
roads and numerous other corporate
interests continue to be prominent,
and 1t is not to be expected that these
aspects will be quickly reversed. There
is. however, the hopeful sign Of great
er firmness in commodity prices,
while the trend Of buying In at least
some lines, textiles among them,
shows that the need for replenish-
ment Of depleted supplies is more
pressing.
Moreover, some indications have
appeared In isolated instances Of q
disposition to extend orders farther
ahead, although conservatism still
governs commitments. Because OF
It's importance as q barometer OF
