luncheon In the Wrangell Hotel. the members present passed a motion by c. P. Kirtland, seconded by R. w. J. Reed endorsing the Nome Resolution which would es- tablish and maintain an aviation squadron in Alaska.
 The Resolution which was orig mated by the Nome Chamber of Commerce bases the reasonableness of the request on the following statements:
 Alaska is a distant and unpro- tected part of the United States, and in case of international com plintions, is without military pro- lection of any kind.
 The Army and Navy Departments of the United States when requested to send planes to search for Eielson and BOrland, when missing in the winter of 1929 and 1880, replied that they sympathized with the efforts to locate the missing fliers but had no plane nor equipment for winter flying in Alaska.
 
 The United States maintains av- iation Sqndrons in Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, but do not have such in Alaska at the present time
 There are no aviation fields in Alaska of sufficient size, nor proper condition, for an army squadron to land i'll case of an emergency.
 THEREFORE,, BE IT RESOLVED that the Alaska Territorial Legisla- ture be respectfully petitioned to memorialize Congress of the United States to authorize the War De- partment to establish and main tain an aviation squadron in Alaska. p
 The Zeigler Bill to protect the Alaska lumber industry was endorsed on motion by J. G. Grant, seconded by w. c. Waters. The bill seeks to raise the base rate of taxation on canned salmon by five cents per case and then to rebate an equal sum on salmon shipped in Alaska made containers.

BOHEMIAN EMIGRANT WINS
 OVER BIC BILL" THOMPSON

CHICAGO: Anton J. Cermak, Bo emigrant, mine mule driver and now Democratic president of the Cook county board of commissioners, was swept into the office of mayor of Chicago, busting William Hale Big Bill' Thompson who had held that post three times in the past sixteen years. Big Bills defeat was hailed as the worst beating any majority candidate had even received in the history of Chicago.
 Unofficial returns from all but five of 29S7 precincts gave Cermack 682,676 votes against 479,1S7 cast for Thompson, a plurality of over 100000 votes.
 So sweeping was Cermak's vic tory, so severe the rebuke to Thomp- son, that all Democratic city nomi- nees were swept along to share the glory of success. It appeared also that a good majority of the twenty one aldermen elected were those who aligned themselves with Car mak.
 Although extensive preparations were made to cope with possible vio- lence only a few fist fights marked the election.

NEW SHIP FOR
 INDIAN BUREAU

Late advices from Washington says that the Indian Bureau, now in charge of the educational work in Alaska which was formerly handled by the Bureau of Educa- tion last week issued a call for bids on the construction of a fine new vessel which is designed to replace the famous old schooner Boxer on the run to the isolated outposts of the Northland.
 The Boxer is declared to have become inadequate, both as to speed and tonnage, for the work demanded of her, and is to be transferred to the lighter task of serving the southern district.
 The new vessel will be powered with Diesel engines of 1200 horse power, and will be able to main tain a speed of 14 knots an hour. She will have refrigerator space for 2,O00 reindeer carcasses, and com fortable accomodations for 30 messengers. A powerful radio set will enable her to keep in con- stant touch with the outside world.
 The estimated cost of the new ship is $4OO,OOO.

CRAIG NOTES

(By An Enthusiastic correspondent)
 The recent fire at Craig which occurred during the evening of March 17th last did a tremendous damage to that thriving little community on the West Coast. Almost the entire waterfront and dock properties were a total loss and it was only through the heroic efforts of it's people aided by a slight change in wind that perverted the destruction of the whole town.
 These eonflagrations in the larger cities have always proven an in- centive to it's inhabitants to i'm mediately rebuild: to correct the mistakes of planning and construc- tion of the past and bring into eXistance a better and happier community.
 Your correspondent paid a visit to Craig a few days ago and was amazed at the energy and determi- nation that he found there. The City Council and an enthusiastic Chamber of Commerce are lending every intelligent aid possible, not only to those who suffered a loss by fire but those who are coming forward with plans to make Craig a larger and better city indutsrially. While theinsurance adjusters are busy, building materials are al- ready being unloaded upon the one large remaining dock and the noise of hammers and hum of saws are singing the song of Craig's renewed pledges of industry.
 The merchantile establishments Of Messrs Cogo, A. l.. Brown and the Craig Merchantile Co.,, together with their docks are to be rebuilt. Lucier's Store, which miraculously escaped destruction is to be en- larged and modernized The Palm estate will rebuild with an up to date structure. The city is re- pairing and extending its sidewalks.
 Craig is very advantageously sit- uated on the West Coast at a point where the herring and salmon gather in their millions for annual spawning. Libby-McNeil and Libby will pack over 100000 cases of salmon this season. The city is the outfitting point for hundreds of trollers and halibut fishermen.
 The Government is preparing to graed several streets in the city limits this spring. A contract has been let for the establishment of a new municipapl lighting plant in the future. New and permanent lights are to be installed on the buoys, lighting the two main chan nels to the north and south. A new sawmill is being constructed and these with many other projects in the planning promise splendid future for this enterprising town of the great West Coast.

BUFFALO HERD IS FOUND AT
 JARVIS FLATS
BUFFALO HERD INTRODUCED INTO ALASKA THREE YEARS AGO FOUND GRAZING IN THE JARVIS CREEK COUNTRY.

Interior Alaska's buffalo herd is safe and is grazing in the Jaruis Creek country, where feed is plen- tiful, according to word received by Warden Sam O. White, of Fairbanks from Louis l. Grims- more, who has been searching for the herd for some time.
 T found the buffaloes at last writes Mr. Grimsmore, "and tn a place where they have been all winter, the Jarvis Creek flats. mostly south of Jarvis. A variety of feed is to be found there, but at this time of the year they seem to prefer slough grass in the nu- merous dry or partly dry lake beds in that section. As you know, the late summer sprouts of this grass stay green throughout the winter.
 When I found them, they were in two separate herds, from II to 15 miles apart. There are nine calves, 26 in all, exclusive of the three from the College, The lat ter l did not find but am satis- fled that they range close to the main herd, as l have tracked them here and there and they were seen by Henry Stock in January. They are easily recognized, as one of the cows is minus one horn.
 T dug the dead buffalo COW out of the ice. The cause of its death is plain. It fell into a bowl shaped hole in the slough and could not get out. The animal was certain ly not chased by wolves and it was not in a starving condition. h fact, it was rather fat.
 When trailing the buffaloes found that they scatter consider ably as they feed during the day. When they come to a good spot to feed, but not extensive enough to accomodate all of them, some of them go on, and sometimes they are many miles apart. But when night comes they are usually found in one compact herd. I might add that all the animals appear to be in excellent condition"

Dr. de eWydumflies
 From Craig

Dr. Raoul H. de Wydum arrived from Craig on the Pioneer Airways Plane North Star last Tuesday. The trip was made in one hour. Six patients for the Wrangell General Hospital had preceded him, two making the trip on the mailboat and four being brought in on the Mackerel by Capt. A. Starkloff who made the run in thirteen hours and five minutes.
 Dr. de Wydum is much interested in the small modern hospital which will soon be under construction to serve the people of the West Coast. As conditions are now, emergency cases and patients from that region, too i'll to take a chance on remain ing away from hospital facilities, have to take the trip either to Wrangell, Juneau or Ketchikan the trip consuming usually from IT to S6 hours time in small fish ing boats at great expense and ac- companied often with untold suffering.
 The new hospital, said Dr. de Wydum, will have accommodations for four to six patients and will be equipped with those facilities which will enable it's physicians to render true scientific service.
 The citizens of Klaivock and Hy- daburg. he said, are also behind the project and are lending enthus- iastic support.

PAPER MILLS
 AWAIT BETTER
 MARKET PRICE

Te establishment of the first pulp and paper mills in Alaska awaits only a favorable market for the product. according to Don Meldrum, forest engineer for the Crown-Zellerbach corporation and also representative of the Gamer on-Chandler interests, who went through Ketchikan aboard the Yu- kon enroute to Juneau.
 'The projects have been found feasible. Every detail has been worked out with the forest service. We have determined in our exten- sive surveys extending over a pe- riod of several years that the quality and quantity of Alaskan timber is satisfactory. In doing this we have combed every bit of territory from Ketchikan to Skag- way" Mir. Meldrum said.
 It is his opinion that the natural resources of Southeastern Alaska make the country highly adaptable for pulp and paper manufacture, and he believes that this will be the outstanding industry few years hence.
 'oThe mills will mean much to Alaska. The Crown-Zellerbach mill to be established in or near Ketch- ikan will mean great deal d. rectly to both Wrangell and Pe- tersburg, because our logging op-
 nDfh Uya rn far as Petersburg. Similarly, the Cameron mill in Juneau will em- ploy loggers on the timber units of the northern end of the divi- sion. To start, these mills would require easily four times as much as is being cut today and thus would put loggers in the field the year around. or as long as weather would permit-which probably would not be less than ten months every year." he declared.
 MT. Meldrum also pointed out the value of the pulp and paper mills to the established sawmills. "On Puget Sound, for instance, our plants buy waste wood from saw mills that formerly netted them nothing. We should do the same in Alaska, taking all waste wood for use in our manufacturing. We would help the sawmills in another way, too: enabling a clean cut of logging areas, thus giving the sawmills the timber they need with the remainder going to the pulp and paper mills," he declared.
 Thus, nothing stands in the way of immediate development of the pulp and paper mills except ex- isting poor market conditions. Some authorities contend that the current economic readjustment will take an upward turn soon, there by paving the way for the imme- diate continuance of the two big Southeastern Alaska projects.
 MT. Meldrum has supervised the timber surveys of the district, de- termining to his own satisfaction and to that of his employers that, to use his own words, "this is pulp and paper country. y."-Chronicle

CHANGES IN GAME AND FUR LAW
 ARE MANY

Revised regulations to the Alas ka Game Law have been adopted by Secretary Hyde of the Depart ment of Agriculture to become eff fectiye July 1, 1881.
 The most extensive change is the division of the Territory into eight fur districts instead of three as heretofore. Open and close sea sons for the taking of fur-bearers have been changed slightly to con form to the new districts and follow generally the recommendations of persons residing in the districts affected. Until the results of the trapping of beaver and marten dur ing the past winter aer known, the Commission has deemed it ad- Yisable to announce a closed sea- son on these fur-bearers throughout the Territory.
 Provision is made for the re- capture of fur-bearing animals that escape from fur farms. To prevent the killing of the mink during the summer, it is now required that "Black-fish Traps commonly in use along Bering Sea Coast be screened.
 Game Birds
 Regulations on hunting migra- tory game birds have been made to accord with federal regulations under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. No change has been made in the dates of the open season on migratory birds, but the taking of Ross and Cackling Geese has been prohibited, and the bag limit on brant combined with that of geese and limited to four in the aggregate in any one day. The maximum possession limit of geese and brant is placed at eight in the aggregate of all kinds.
 The Keystone Canyon closed area near Valdez has been extended from Milepost 13 to 20 from Val deg instead of ending at Mielpost Is as heretofore.
 Increased Bear Protection
 Increased protection is accorded the large brown grizzly bears by the addition of two areas in which resident of the Territory may take animals only during the open season from September 1 to June 20. One of the new areas is on the north side of Kodiak Island and includes the drainage to Shelikof Straits between Cape Ugat and Cape IkoIik The other is on the Kenai Peninsula west of the Kenai Noun tains and includes the westerly drainage to Cook Inlet from the Kenai river and Skilak lake on the north to the summit between Tustu- mena lake and Fox river on the south. The same provisions permit ting residents to kill bears at any time when the animals are about to attack or molest persons or prop erty applies to the two new areas as we'll as the five heretofore exist , ing.
 Important among the changes made are by the regulations, residents privileges are clarified by requiring that a person in all other respects entitled thereto shall have been domiciled in the Terri tory, for the purpose of making his permanent home therein, for not less than one year immediately preceding his claim for such privi- leges.
 To Apply Restrictions
 The former restrictions on the shipping of trophies by residents of the Territory have been modi- fled, and under permits issued in ] the discretion of the Commission a resident may now ship trophies

In every letter to his son, the ia
