 we are anxious to obtain speci- mems of Alaska fauna" said MT de Ganahl flor the San Antonio (Tex Geological Society, which plans an Alaska section in the park at San Antonio. We want young animals of all kinds-bears, goats, sheep, moose, wolverines, foxes. We expect to buy rather than catch them. We obtained four grizzly bears in British Columbia and shipped them to San Antonio.
 Bears have given some excite ment on our trip. Back of the Unuk River, north of Ketchikan, MT. Walker, who has hunted ex- tensively in Texas and Mexico, kill ed female brown bear, and then he was charged by her mate. We poured four or five shots into the male. He retreated, badly wound ed We followed, and finally got him.
 We have experienced some won derful cut-throat trout fishing. but salmon catches have not been num- erous."

In May, the craft struck a rock two miles off Prince Ru- pert, necessitating new keel. While the vessel was undergoing repairs at Prince Rupert, the members of the party in outboard motorboats went to OotSa Lake, going up one river and coming down another. A portage of one mile and half was required between the headwaters of the two streams The circuit was 180 miles and it had never been made before except by trap pers.
 After the restoration of the yacht to a seaworthy condition she proceeded to Ketchikan, and thence came with frequent stops 1 to Juneau.

HOW IT STARTED
To Have a s'Confab"

If ever there is line which seem
rooted in slang and colloquialism of
the day, "to have confab" signifying
to converse with intimately, would
seem to be entitled to first honors.
Yet, Interestingly enough, such a
surmise would be far indeed from the
fact. For, as you shall see in mo-
ment, "confab" is rooted about as
classically as could be.
To have a confab is simply an ex-
preston embodying an abbreviation of
"confabulation" which in turn is de-
rived from the Latin "confabulatio''
having the same meaning as the word
"confab" today.

Tag Reveals Rockfish
Go to Head of Bay
To Spawn

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-A
striped bass, or rockfish, tagged
at Annapolis July Z by DR..
John C. Pearson, assistant
aquatic biologist of the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries, has been
found in the barrel of a fish
dealer in the Baltimore mar
ket. It was caught near Rock
Hall, Kent county, September 2.
The 300 tagged fish, released
at Annapolis, were part of a
plan to trace the movements
of the fish. Since virtually all
the tagged fish caught we're
above Annapolis, E. Lee Le-
Compte, State game warden,
said this showed they went to-
ward the head Of the bay to
spawn.
