TrOast Makes Tour
Of School Inspection

Mr.. Troast left juneau on the
maiden voyage of the North Star
for a trip of inspection of build
ings and property of the Office of
Idian Affairs and proposed loca-
tions for new schools.
Paul w. Gordon, newly appointed
field director of education of AL
aska Natives, was also aboard the
North Star A plane from Anchor
age was awaiting at Bethel to take
the two officials to points on the
lower Yukon. They were at Akiak
on the Kuskokwim when word ar
rived of the fire at Kanakanak and
flew there at once.
Arrangements were made, Mr..
Troast said, to carry on the hospi
tai at Kanakanak using emergency
supplies and equipment. Patients
will be cared for in the girls dorm
tory of the industrial school which
was discontinued last month.
The men flew back to Akiak,
thence to Mt, Village on the lower
Yukon where there is a hospital
and day school, and from there to
Hooper Bay, which is one of the
most primitive and isolated Sec
tions of Alaska.
A tidal wave last year wrought
havoc among the Eskimos and the
white teachers Homes were flooded
kayaks, boats, food caches and the
wood supply washed away. The
region is treeless and driftwood
brought in on high tides from the
kuskokwim and the Yukon Rivers
IS utilized as fuel.
N. Lester Troast, architect for the
Interior department, left on the AL
aska Friday afternoon, after hav-
ing spent several days in Wrangell
on business connected with the
construction of Wrangell Institute
buildings.
Several months elapsed before
word of the disaster reached the
Bureau of Indian Affairs. Practi-
cally all of the teachers in the
Arctic have receiving sets, and the
office is making effort to see that
eventually each station will have
a teacher who is trained to send
and receive over short. wave sets.
At present, teachers so qualified
are at Ugashak, Egegek, >Kulukuk,
Unanalakleet and Mt. Village, and
other Boring Sea stations.
From Hooper Bay, the plane
flew back to Mt. Village. thence
down the Yukon with stops at Old
Fort Hamilton, New Fort Hamilton,
Kotlik and on up the Boring coast
to Stebbins, st. Michael, Unana-
lakleet, Shaktulik, Nome and on
to White Mountain where the In
dian industrial school was visited.
Golovan, Elm on Norton Bay, Kali
tag on the Yukon, Kogukuk, Ga
lena, Nulato, Ruby, Kokrines, Fit.
Gibbon, Tanana, Fairbanks, Circle,
TT. Yukon and Beaver were visited
and then Copper Center, Chitina
and Valdez where the officials left
the plane and took passage on a
boat back to Juneau
Four thousand miles had been
Travelled, said Mr.. Troast, with 35
hours spent in the air, and in seven
days, inspection had been made of
stations that without plane
would have required practically |
three months of exhausting travel. |

the Post. l named our claim the

THE creek was discovered in
1921. Not many people did any
work all waiting for the others to
start. Only one man stayed and he
made money but he was too old to
work SO he told us of the creek and
begged us to come. We are glad we
came for we have a good PROPOSE
ton. We have plenty of water, good
dump ground for the tailings and
excellent ground sluice. There are
three good cabins on our ground so
we had a home to come to.

lots of gold. There is a fine layout
here for a hydraulic plant. There
are two kinds of gold on this creek.

Our movies are moose and bear

Reports from the big cannerles out Westward say that providing the price of salmon shows no inn provement by next season, that it is doubtful the plants will oper- ate.
 A few of the big canneries have received word that when this sea- sons catch is up and preparations begun for slowing away the equip ment and machinery, to store these so that they may not have to be molested for two or three years, in- dicating some firms do not expect to see improved market conditions.
 At the present times Chums are quoted at 65 cents, Pinks 75 cents and Reds around $125 per dozen.

scores of AlaSkans for the entire time that we have been in the fur business, said MT. Hyde shortly after he returned to his desk from business trip which took him to many parts of the United States and permitted him to study fur markets at close range. Never in the history of the fur business was the necessity for doing business with firmly established house with sound financial foundations more important than at present. For more than 35 years we have been doing business with Alaska trappers and shippers and I be- lieve that we have satisfied both shippers and buyers because they are doing business with us in larg- CT volume each succeeding year.
 'The Tacoma fur auction is so we'll established, we'll financed and well known that it attracts buyers from the worlds leading houses which make for spirited bidding , and returns highest prices to the shippers. Time has strengthened the West Coast Fur Sales SO it is able to handle shipments of any size and to make returns prompt ly''.
 Many Alaskans make the West Coast Fur Sales in Tacoma their headquarters when they go outside of Alaska. Alaskans always are welcome at the old pioneer house when they go to the States.

ACQUIT GOLF IN

Grand Old Game Not Cause
of Shattered Romance.

Golf-the grand old game Of the
duffers-has been "vindicated."
For it wasn't really golf that
caused the marital difficulties of
Raymond NJ. Schwartz, 5110 Craw-
louisville road, and it wasn't ac-
tually the fact that he gave up golf
that caused his remarriage to Mrs.
Schwartz Thursday.
The SchwartzeS were divorced in
March in circuit court, and it was
charged that Schwartz had a bad
case Of "golfmania."
After the marriage Thursday, it
was said that Raymond had prom
Used never to swing another niblick.
But now it turns out that Ray
mond never was much Of a golfer,
and that he can't really give up
golf because he never took it up that
seriously.
When the trial came up last
March his mother in-iaw, it is UNI
derstood, testified that Raymond
came home from his golfing in a
bad teraper. What beginner
wouldn't?
Every one got the idea that Ray
mond's 'golfmania" was the cause
Of everything. Raymond didn't care
much about his golfing it seems, for
he again went accounting.
And during the counting every
thing finally was patched up.
And so Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz
we're married once again Thursday
