Paul L. Hoefer, Colorado ex- plorer with a group of campani- CnS went into the uneXplored regions. From a scenic stand point it is magnificent while the intimate glimpses of native life are fascinating. Practically every type of native is shown from the giant wasara of French Congo to the pygmies of the Ituri for est. who seldom reach a height of 1fty-seven inches. Religious rites and tribal ceremonials are features of the production. Pic ture shots of wild animals were taken at an amazingly close range and the thrills these af- ford are enhanced by sound ef- fects The whole picture is ex- tremely interesting as we'll as ed ucational. This picture will be

Finds Wrecked Graft
 On Reef, Leuel Island

Bert Buchanan reported to Commissioner CIausen that a gasboat is wrecked on Level Is land but that no trace can be found Of it's owners. The boat has a Clay engine, a square stern and the hull is painted green. No skiff was found. All ignition switches were in indi- eating that the engine was pro b2bly running when the boat struck the reef. The weather was extremely rough and Bert thinks it. would have been impossible for anyone to have made shore in skiff. The hull is badly damaged but the engine has taken care of. Further investi- Igations will be made to find the owner of the craft.

 The Director reported that $170,000 had been paid out in dividents during the six months before receivership and he was filing suits to recover same on tNe. ground that the dividents were not earned and were un- lawfully paid. Delay in consum- nation of sale Of the Petersburg hydro electric plant only pre- vented a legal tangle with this corporation.

"GRISCHA"-SCCRES WITH
 REALISM

"The Case of Sergeant Gris- cha will be shown at the Mac Gregor Sunday and Monday. The back ground of this picture is laid in a setting of the World War but it is not a war picture" " It's action occurs back of the front lines but offers vivid glimpses of the drama which grew out of the struggle of those unfortunate caught in the clutches of a great military ma chine. Grischa's escape from prison, his romance, his recap ture and sentence to death, the dramatic argument over his fate and the amazing decision at the climactic moment make this one of the pictures that you will not soon forget.

 house, for after all the gambline
 spirit is more or less developed
 in us all regardless of the form of the game. The concluding

Ask For Iadian Land
 Grant in Ketchikon

Delegate Sutherland has intro duced a bill in Congress which if passed by that body will con- vey to the Alaska Native Broth orhood of Ketchikan an area ot tide lands 200 feet deep in the heart of the Thomas Bay Basin where the harbOr of Ketchikan will be when that project is com nleted. This grant asked for is right in the center of the inn provement project for which ap- propriations have been made by Congress and included in the Emergency Relief Appropriations passed last week.
 The bill provides for an out right grant of the land, the title of which bill reads: "A Bill to grant certain tide lands to the native Indians of Alaska organi- zed and operating under the name and style of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, of Ketchi- kan, Alaska and for other pur- poses" Ownership of the tract is limited to the Indian organi- ration, but access to and across it is extended to all Indians Of the Territory
 The bill provides further: That the Alaska Native Broth erhood of Ketchikan Alaska shal have exclusive right to construct and maintain a substantial wharf, dock and or float shall be for the exclusive use of the na- tives of Alaska to afford them a. all times a convient point of ac- cess from Stedman Street over and across said tidelands to deep water on Tongass NarrOWs; Pro- vided further that the tidelands and frontage herein described may not be alienated without the consent of the Secretary of the Interior"
 This area granted asked for by the -Ketchikan Camp is on tide lands which have always been recognized as Indian lands and which the Government has pre- vented all others from takingup and occupying. The Ketchikan Post of the Amercian Legion is the only other holder of tide lands in this basin. The claim of the Ketchikan Camp of the Brotherhood is based on the right of inherent possession of rights which they have never surrendered and which the law proscribes they shall be protect ed in.

Last Tuesday evening at the MacGregor Theatre the people of Petersburg were afforded an op- Iportunity of witnessing a num- Der of the old time ceremonial dances of the Alaska natives dances which are no longer prac- ticed in this territory. Only few of the older natives can now re- call the days when clan invited clan and tribes joined in friend Ily contest to entertain each oth- CT with the number and intricacy of the classical ceremonies they could perform.
 These dances were of many kinds and served various pur-
 roses. Some of them were con- ceived to commemorate histori- cal events before the languages
 were reduced to writing. Some were purely ritualistic with g deep religious significance; some
 were folk dances or the mere
 acting out of the folk songs o1 the people, while others were comedies to promote hilarity anc general good feeling on feas loccasions. Always and every. where intensely dramatic, tht EThlingets, the Haidas and tht ETsimpseans found charateristi, depression in these ceremonials 1 For this performance a numbe Iof the younger people had beer specially drilled.
