The Seward Chamber Of Com merce writes urging che cooperation of the Delegate in competing the highway that Will connect seward and Moose Pass. The pfoJecG nas been surveyed and the Ileid work completed and now It IS hoped soon to have station wGrk started, which would tend to relieve an acute labor situation. It Is also expect ed that the completion Of the pfo1- ect would materially assist Ill the development of agricultural and mineral resources Cn kenai penln- sula. The road already runs 20 miles north of Seward but there is a gap of Is miles south of Moose Pass and the estimated cost Of construction through canyons IS $70O,00O. When this is built the Highway would extend 45 miles north west of Moose Pass to Hope on Cook Inlet, and 3S miles south of Moose Pass, making a through Highway of 78- miles from Seward. There is available forestry money to start this work but the project must first Lave the endorsement of District Forester Flory, the. Alaska Road Commission and the Bureau of Public Roads.

Various Chambers of Commerce in Alaska have wired the Delegate protesting against the emergency regulation issued by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde and approved in a proclamation by President Hoover, reducing the season throughout the United States and Alaska to a period of che month for the hunt ing of ducks and geese. The req son given for this reduction from three months to the month of September, for Alaska, is because of severe drought of the last two years affecting the rearing of young birds on breeding grounds. The Biological Survey say that protests are being wired in from all sections of the country, but that no change will be made in the regulation, which Canada is also expected to adopt The President is very much interested in this matter and feels that the sports men and people generally should cooperate to avoid the calamity of extermination.

ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Byw.A-s

It is the aim of the Smithsonian now to find such remains on the is- lands of the far north and along the rivers of the northwest coast. The recent expedition brought forth important specimens which add another link to the increasing testi- mony of science of the march of early man through this region. Skeletal remains and objects of great significance have opened a new and more scientific era in American exploration.

pr. Ales Hrdlicka, Curator Of An thropology at the Smithsonian In stitution, has returned to Washing ton from his fifth summer expedi tion to Alaska. On his recent trip he found skeletons of persons be- lieved to have been among the first inhabitants of the North American continent. These were found on Kodiak Island more than 100 miles southwest of Seward. It has been established that ancient man mil grating to North America from Asia took the coast route and passed down the west coast Of Alaska, rather than entering the interior and passing down the rivers. The Curator states that discoveries on the most recent expedition are suf- ficient to prove the coast and penin sula passage rather than the other suggested route which is to the mainland of Alaska and along the rivers.
 Dr. Hrdlicka thinks that there is nc probability that the early corners established themselves in any of the places along the coast for any long period of time. They always ad- vanced toward the South. By not establishing themselves permanently they therefore have left seanty relics and other accumulations to identify them. Then again. the coast has undergone many changes and has been completely rebuilt in places, thus washing away what re- mains Of them which might have survived. Science may never hope, unless it be through some happy accident, to find the actual remains of the early men along the route If their travel. It shall not find them at all until investigators reach point where they settled permanently, lived on solid ground, and left remnants of their sojourn

Island Merchants
Send Their Greetings

We take great pride In the two pages
Of greeting cards In this issue which
carry the goodwill of our Island mer-
chants to their customers.
We worked only few hours In SELL
ling the idea to the business houses
and before we had made the rounds
all available space was sold out, so II
anyone has been omitted we are sorry,
and we hope that next Christmas we
will be publishing paper big enough
to cover all Of the deficiencies.
Although there was no space on the
page for our own greeting card the
News-Record extends to each and
every reader and friend the best
wishes Of the season. Although 1892
hasn't used us as well as 1t might
there's a new year, just around the
corner waiting to give us better SER
vice. And there's always the chance
that next Christmas will be better
than this one. We don't know any
better sentiment than Tiny Tins as
he said God bless us, every one"

DOCKTON HALL
ALMOST COMPLETED

On last Saturday night the new
floor at Dockton was used for the first
time. Although the exterior of the
building has not been painted the in
terror is shining with new floor, wood
work and paint, and the new roof will
keep out the rain for many years to
come. The paint on the outside will
be put on Just as soon as the weather
permits.
This community hall stands as a
monument to the corporation OF the
community Of Dockton. The building
formerly school house, and grounds
was purchased from the school district
some time ago. Dances were given to
raise money to buy shingles, flooring
paint, etc, but not one cent had to be
expended for labor. AT times there
were as high as forty men working on
the building at once, shingling, laying
flooring, and whatnot The women
assisted by serving coffee and hot
food.

Home Destroyed
By Fire At Center

Tuesday afternoon disastrous fire
occurred at Center, which left Mr.. and
Mrs. c. M. Glare and their three chill
dren in a sad condition.
The Clares were living In what is
known as the Allison place on the
cemetery road. The origin of the fire
which broke out upstairs, has not been
determined. Mr.. Glare and the young
est child were asleep at the time, and
awakening rushed upstairs only to
find the fire burning rapidly Help
was summoned, when Mrs. Smith at
the telephone office observed the
flames breaking through the roof. The
vashon fire truck responded to the
call but the fire had gained such
Roadway that It was useless when it
reached the scene.
Practically all of the furniture on
the first floor was saved, but all Of
the beds, bedding and most Of the
clothing of the family was lost. 1t is
reported that there was no insurance.
The Clares have the sympathy of
the entire community in the loss they
have suffered, and neighbors and
friends are doing all in their power to
help them in their great need.

ATTRACTIVE
WINDOW DECORATION

One OF the loveliest window decora-
lions to be found anywhere on the
Island, or elsewhere is In the window
of the Burton Pharmacy. Mr.. Shaw
has utilized ordinary greens, selecting
branches of the very handsomest of
the two varieties used, salal and
huckleberry. These are arranged in a
basket, and string of gaily colored
Christmas tree lights Illuminate the
whole. Mr.. Shaw always manages to
have artistic show windows, winter or
summer, but In his decorations this
Yuletide he has surpassed even previ-
Gus ones.
Surely there is no excuse for lack
of lovely decorations here where
greens may be had for the picking,
and the effect achieved by Mr.. Shaw
is possible to anyone desiring to
decorate for the holidays.

Work Starts On
South End Road

Work has at last been definitely
| started on the new Burton Tallequah
South End road, when ten men, UNI
der the supervision Of G. M. Rhulen
began the work OF grubbing and clear
ing the new section commencing at
Shawnee
The matter Of beginning this work
has been dragging, until there seemed
to be grave possibility OF the Islands
losing the $4,000 funds appropriated
by the commissioners, since money not
used for the purpose for which 1t was
originally appropriated during the
year reverts back into the general
funds January LIST, II, however, the
work has been commenced OH the pro-
ject for which 1t was appropriated,
even though 1t continues over into the
next year II still remains In the fund
to carry on the designated work.
Through the activities of IRA Case
who conferred with both the state and
county officials in the matter interest
was aroused and the promise gained
to start the work at once. Ten men
We're hired and set to work on Mon
day morning. Later there will prob
ably be 40 men working, as the work.
ing plans and specifications are sup
piled by the office of the state engi-
neer.
The commissioners, as we'll as the
state office have specified that in
order to secure employment on this
piece of road work an applicant must
be an Island man, married and with
family.
On Tuesday MI. K. Scneyer, who
will be in charge of the state work,
was on the Island looking things over
and looking for living quarters for his
family.
The contract for the state work will
be advertised the first of January and
the contract will be let and work be-
gun by the last of January.
In addition to being a real Island
Improvement this piece of road build
ing will offer a real relief to the Is
land unemployment, and will prove a
real relief measure.
