work when the Army. during the latter
part of this month. undertakes to po-
lice the 1st Air Division over the Ma

pleasure planes which might be "off
their reservation" and cumming up the
maneuvers of the Army flyers.

BROADCAST GOLF
 TOURNEY FINALS
Name of Successor to BOb= by Jones to Be Relayed
 By WABC

The last round of the fight to de- termine successor to Bobby Jones as British open golf champion, will be broadcast over the WABC-Col- umbia network from Carnousie, Scot land. between 1:35 and 1850 D. m. Friday, June 5, by Bernard Darwin, leading British golf authority.
 Owing to the defeat of all Ameri- can contenders in the British anna teur event. played two weeks ago on the Westward Ho! course, special interest attaches to the United States entry in the open, which includes Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Macdonald Smith and Tony Manero.
 The British open crown has been held continuously by America since 1924, when Walter Hagen brought the cup overseas, where it has re- mained through the victories of Barnes, Hagen (twice) and Jones (three timeS).
 Darwin, who will broadcast com entary of the final, is a grandson of Charles Darwin, originator of the evolution theory.

 Interior Alaska continue to be ag- itated over the fear that the two or three airplane companies who have received mail contracts Will slight those residents who live along the various trails. The Department insists that all contracts have been made as heretofore and call for rural mail delivery, and that it IS up to the contractors to see that the usual service is furnished. Fearing that they are to be neglected people living along the trail between Me- mana and Lake Minchumina have sent a petitions asking for a bi- monthly mail service over the trail.

 The General Manager of the AL aSka Railroad, in writing to the Secretary of the Interior Wilbur on the activities of the railroad, among other things says: 1t seems that the merchants at Fairbanks and other points made heavy shipments anticipating the increase in rates, which resulted in less traffic for the following months until the sur plus had been consumed. The month of July, 1881, however, shows an increase in freight revenue of $20,000, or 29 per cent over July, 1880. The passenger revenue for tine months of May, June and July, 1881, was about the same as for the preceding year. The rates appear Ito have affected local more than tourist travel, altho tourists are fewer this year. Some passengers formerly travelling by railroad are now using airplanes, bus lines and private cars, between Fairbanks and the Coast, and some perishable freight is moving by truck from Valdez to Fairbanks"

 The research division of the Bur- eau of Fisheries is delving into the many problems which arise con- corning, the manufacture, storage, and distribution of frozen fishery products. All of which has particu- lar interest to Alaska, where the fisheries continue as the leading industry. It is expected that soon the Division will issue report on findings which will no doubt leaf the way to improved methods of storing frozen fish in cold storage warehoues, and also aboard fish ing vessels. Biochemical studies of the Bureau, in cooperation with the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, on fish meal and oil, produced by inn proved manufacturing process have shown these products as ideal for animal feeding. A further experi- ment is being conducted to demon trate the feasibility of using highly refined fish flour" for human con- sumption.
