DEFENDS ROAD ESTIMATES

Major Malcolm Elliott, preSi- dent of the Alaska Road Com mission, has come out to the States from his headquarters ct Juneau and is expected to reach Washington very shortly. He will remain as long as necessary for the purpose of defending es- inmates for road construction in Alaska, for the fiscal year 1883
 NAVAL RESERVES
 Some parties were desirous Of establishing homeSteads on Low ell Point, just south of Seward, and which some time ago was embraced within the confines of the U. s. Naval Reservation, but which it was believed had been restored to entry The Delegate took the matter ID with the Gen eral Land Office and finds that on March B, 1908, approximate ly 3,350 acres of land, including Lowell Point on Resurrection Bay, were reserved for the use of the Navy Department as Q coaling station. But the records show that the land was never restored to the public domain,

ALASKA TOTENs, INTEREST

Two stately Alaska totem poles fntricately carved and prillians- ly coIored are today fanking the door of Secretary of Interior Wilbur. The poles were carved by John Wallace, Hydaburg In- dian and set up in the capital to promote popular interest ill Indian arts and craft of the many people under jurisdiction of the Interior Department, and also to create interest in Alas ka.

new knowledge of the race, both ancient and modern.
 On the recent expedition there were no human bones found. Last year, however, MT. Collins discovered an old house contain ing 12 skeletons. Most of the human bones disintegrate after about year, due to the Eskimo tradition of surface burial on the side of hill where corpses are not at all protected from beasts or weather.

ANTHRCP0LOGICAL STUDIES

A young scientist named Mo reau B. Chambers, working for the Anthropological Division ot the National Museum, returned to Washington the other day af- ter spending the summer on St. Lawrence Island, just south Of Boring Strait. When MT. Cham berS arrived on the Island !n Alaska on June 18th, the tenn perature had risen to it's sum- mertime average of about 45 degrees. Previous excavation work on the island, carried on during the past four years by H. B. Collins and others of the Smithsonian Institution repre- sentatives, has resulted in know ledge of a remarkable cross sec tion of Eskimo history, the most comprehensive and accurate ey- CT obtained by scientists.
 The site on St. Lawrence Is- land is unique and of extreme archaeological importance. The five ancient villages represent 2 vivid portrayal of Eskimo cul- ture from it's earliest stages to the present. It was for some time a metropolis for Eskimos, because of it's excellent faciI- ities for fishing and hunting. For hundreds of years it was a cen ter of Eskimo population, and 1t is through records unWittingly left by tribes inhabiting the re- zion for centuries, that so much of archaeological importance is discovered there.
 MT. Chambers work produced specimens which undoubtedly will reveal much hitherto uI1- known concerning these peo- pies. Many of. the specimens are absolutely new to science, while others, of which similar types have been discovered be- fore, will probably substantiate and bear out theories now held The entire collection of more than 5000 specimens will fill gaps in the Museums present collection, and will furnish ma terial for new and important study.
 MT. Chambers discoveries in clued a wide variety of harpoor heads of ivory and bone; speal throwers; wedges; ivory picks toys, ornaments, drills, arrow points and knives; wooden bows and dishes; whalebone armor and clay pottery. The most im- portant phase of the collection is the great variety of harpoor heads. Hundreds Of them were found, some of which were hith- ertoo undiscovered types. They are for the most part made ot ivory taken from Walrus tusks These specimens represent every stage of Eskimo culture, and are of great value as diagnostic ma terial It is through study ot harpoon heads, as typical eX- amples of Eskimo workmanship in various stages, that are found most important clues leading tC
