UMNAK VILLAGE IN TOUCH WITH WORLD
 BY DAILY NEWSPAPER

Radio has conquered the Aleu- tian Islands, ushering in new era for the far flung Alaska Peninsula in terms of progress and content ment.
 Before the advent of radio broad casting, communication with the villagers of these far away islands was limited solely to monthly mail delivery by steamer from Seward. Daily news journals reach the is lands once a month.
 Uncle Sam has several telegraph stations S situated at strategical points on the islands. The convey ance of information over these lines is limited to official and com mercial business, being built es- pecially for maintaining quick and sure means of communication.
 Now the islanders have been drawn into closer communion by radio broadcasting. Instead of lis tening to bowling winds and crash of surf, Aleutian inhabitants re- cline in their comfortable abodeS and hear the latest Broadway song hits, daily news events and other forms of radio entertainment from KFQD, Anchorage. It is said that radio broadcasting from New York, Hollywood, Salt Lake City, Fort Worth and countless other sta tions scattered over the world is received with perfect clearness.
 The record of radio achievement on this western frontier of the North Amrican continent would be incomplete without mention of the inauguration of daily newspaper at Umnak village on Umnak Island. It is published five days a week by E. P. Stowell, a young University of Washington graduate and school teacher in the division of Indian Affairs. World news received daily by radio is recorded in shorthand and mimeographed for distribution on the island. It is read daily to pupils in the local school and posted in the village store where eager groups gather to disseminate the latest tidings.

often make steamer landings i'm possible. Hence mail delivery is often delayed for several months. Commenting on the local situa- tion, one islander recently said: Tt has been over two months since the mail boat has left us any mail and we are beginning to feel the isolation. Only the radio keeps us in touch with important happen ingS in the Outside world"

so HE STARTED A FARM

Mike Cotter owned a horse. He went prospecting and established a headquarters about 40 miles from the Gakona trail, and between Chistochina and Gakona. Some of the horses grain spilled on the ground, some of the potato peel ings began to sprout, also the grain. Thus, Mike discovered that these things would grow. He plant ed crop, got a bull and some cows, and started a dairy ranch. The NabeSna is not far distant. Mike is sitting pretty. So says the Chit ina Weekly Herald

HIGHLY. TECHNICAL ADVANCE BULLETIN
 MINERAL REG|0|V
INVERSE TRANSPORTATION AND LOW METAL PRICES ARE
 HANDICAPS

In highly technical advance bulletin on the Totonduk-Nation region, or what is known as the Porcupine- Yukon area, triangul- ar shaped area of about 600 square miles, J. B. Murtie, Jr, of the Geo. logical Survey, says: Ut is contlg- uous to important mineral districts and may itself have possibilities or mineral production.'
 Reporting on the Mount EielSon district, visited last summer ln the general mineral survey of the rail- road zone, John c. Reed, M. E., U. s. Geological Survey, says the district lies about 30 miles east of Mount Mckinley. Material given off by the granodiorite permeated the incloSing seriments and select ively replaced them with minerals of the epidote (metamorphosed rocks) and to some extent with sphalerite (zinc sulfid), galena, chalcopyrite and pyrite.
 The ore-bearing zone can be traced for about four miles along the north side of the granodiorite mass. Its width on the surface is not uniform, but it's depth is about 1000 feet. Sphalerite is the most abundant sulphide and is several times as abundant as galena. Chal- copyrite is present in minor quan- titles. The small amount of silver in the ore is irregularly distributed.
 Very little development has been done in the district, 2s much of the potentially valuable ground lies be- meath a cover of post-mineral de- posits, and the most urgent need is for systematic prospecting
 The present natural exposures and prospect pits indicate a re- serve of many hundreds of thous- ands of tons of zinc and lead bear ing material, which, from the in- dications of the few assays, should carry at least 10 per cent of total sulphides. Silver would, no doubt, be recovered, but is generally low and spotted The silver content does not seem to bear any very definite relation to the lead con- tent. It is possible that the copper would also be recovered, but it would be subordinate product.
 The mining conditions at Mount Eielson are good, especially for a large-scale operation Most of the ore zone could be developed to a depth of several hundred feet by a tunnel
 The rock and ore are massive and would require little timbering The individual ore bodies are large enough to lend themselves to some caving method of mining There is no timber in the district. Suf- ficient coal could be mined few miles to the north Unless a road was built, it would have to be trans ported over frozen ground. It is possible that Grant Creek could be developed on a small scale for power
 The ore would be concentrated in a mill at Mount Eielson. It's mineralogy is simple, and galena,

1HERE is nothing so friendly on
lonely walks or sleepless nights
as speaking acquaintance with
i the stars, and in Winter, IT
seems to me, the conventional
designs that make up the considerations
are much clearer and larger and, IN
general. easy to distinguish.
The Summer consultations are small,
vague. and distorted or overlapping
But who can mistake Orion. that great
| huntsman. with the three gutterng
stars of his belt, his bent knee, glitter
ing with the white jewel Of Rigel. Whlle
on his brow burns the ruby OF Betel-
geuse, and the tip of his arrow sparKles
with the steely CLINT of Bellatrix?
Half way between the tip of his ar
| row and the Pleiades. the cluster OF
seven (six only visible) faint stars,
] glitters Aldebaran, AL Debahran OF the

| ing The Hindermost." This is one OF
our near neighbors in space. 1t Is only
81 light years away. That Is to say
that if you Travelled at the speed OF

6. 900 900 of million miles a year, you
would get there after starting as a
| newborn babe, If you Travelled at that
speed, on your fifty-seventh birthday.
You would have passed our Sun, by
the way, in the first eight months OF
your life.
Aldebaran is 90 times as bright 'as
| our sun. 1t is the brightest star IN the
| constellation of the Bull Of Taurus, ana
for this reason astronomers call II
Alpha Taurus. There is to me some
thing very rich in associations whlcn

this famous old Arabian star. In the

it is far from being that.
Our zenith star in this month IS Ca

up toward the zenith from Aldebaran;
it is the first brilliant star. Or more
accurately, take Bellatrix. the tip OF
Orion's arrow or spear, and run line
to the Pole Star Capella is half way
between them, and close to the zenltn
at about or 10 o'clock just now. 1t Is
often called the Vega of Winter nights,
but must admit it has not the beauty
of Vega, that jewel upon the cheek OF

The charm of Capella is much en-

With the coming of the telescope, the

WHITE SPRUCE,
Picea CanadenSiS.

|THE pulp and paper industry is
one of the greatest drains on
the forest. Spruce trees have
i been relied upon more than any
others to supply the pulp ma
terial. Today the manufacturers are
facing the problem of reforeStation. The
waste at saw mills is unbelievably
great, and the pulp and paper mills
have not followed the saw mills. as
they went farther South and West to
the receding forests.
Over 100000 persons are employed IN
pulp and paper manufacturing plants.
and the annual value of the product
is more than $1,000, 100000. The Sun
day edition of a large metropolitan
newspaper will use all the pulp-wood
from a forest Of rs acres. Therefore
1t is Of paramount importance that ex-
tensive reforestation be begun at once.
The white spruce is the pulp manu-
facturers' favorite, and because the luIn-
ber was of little value and the foliage
ill-Smelling, great forests of these trees
are available at a time when paper
Is being used in vast quantities. At
one time, in some places. the lumber,

used for building purposes and for in
terror finish. 1t is rarely used when a
more durable wood can be procured.
The white spruce IS planted as an
ornamental tree, and as such is great
success. It has the very nice tree habit

answer many Of the letters
which offer me nothing upon which to
base an opinion. I grow very monot-

that I want to know every item of a

whether or not baby is well fed, and
intelligent advice simply cannot be
given without such information.
Mrs. F. P. C. errs greatly in that par
ticular. Here is her letter: MY baby
is IA months old; weighed pounds at
birth and 20 pounds now. He weighed
10 at six months and I can't under
stand why he hasn't gained as he should
since. How much should he weigh?
He gets three meals a day, at 8 am,
IL noon and 6\pm. He does not drink
his milk very. well. but he eats his cereal
and ether foods well. He has four
teeth and is cutting more. Would teeth
ing cause his gain to be so poor? I am
giving him the proper food. What
would you adviser"
The baby's gain since his sixth month
has been 4 pounds instead Of the ex-
pected gain Of pounds. You can't
blame the coming Of teeth for such a
deficiency. All children get teeth, and
therefore all of them would suffer from
loss OF weight or failure to gain. which
conclusion Is absurd. We can't blame
teeth for that; We have to blame the
diet.
While you say he eats his cereal "and
other foods" you do not tell me Of what
those other foods consist. I appreciate
being told about the diet. so that if
there is room for Improvement it is
