mals as they rise to blow. The whale puts up a desperate fight and often draws the yes sel many miles, with the en- zines reversed. When the whale is dead a sharp pointed pipe is run into the body and it is pumped full of air, so it will float. A flag is then placed on it's back, so it may be seen and easily picked up for tow ing to the cannery In the meantime the tug casts off and searches for other members of the pod. Upon being lowed to the station the whale is drawn upon a huge platform by steam winches. A crew of men then swarm over the carcass and the blubber is quickly stripped off, cut into pieces, and slid into conveyors, from which they drop into retorts. The blubber is slit lengthwise of the whale by means of a spade" a cut ting instrument with a razor edge. These long strips of blubber are then fastened by hooks to a cable leading to the donkey engine and stripped off in pieces 50 or 60 feet long. In the meantime another crew is at work on the head. The oil is saved annd the long strips of whalebone, looking like frond- ed palms, are removed. The tongue and bones of the head are slid into the conveyor. The blood and slimy oil run into conveyors and are used for fer tilizer. Some of the finer parts of the meat are cut out and saved for table use. Other huge chunks go to the pickling vats to be shipped to the Orient for food. The oil is run into huge tanks from which it is in turn drawn into barrels for shipment to the big soap fact ories and for other uses. In much less time than it has talk en to write this article the whale h a s entirely disap- peared-blood, oil, bone and meat going to their separate conveyors. Within a few min- utes the 60-foot whale, a mountain of muscular energy. has been conquered by the puny efforts of man and mod ern machinery.

Bill Bean, of Rake, recently located the nest of an Alaskan raven and took the eggs to town to prove that he had solved a question which had long puzzled Alaska ornitholo- gists. While eagerly sought for, the nest of an Alaska rav- en has never before been seen by the eyes of man, so far as known. The Indians believed they laid their eggs on inacces- ible mountain crags, where they were matched by the north wind.

GOPHER HUNTERS WARNED

Gophers in various parts Of thu
state, which have been shot this
spring, are found to be afflicted with
tnlaremia. A number of the diseased
animals were recently sent to the
laboratories of the state university
for examination. The state game
warden had his theories concerning
the disease, but desired to have them
verified. His fears were correct. The
disease is a fungus growth and is
transmitted to animals from the
plant. In shooting gophers, they
should not be touched, as the disease
can be transmitted to humans.

FREE: LION HUNT WAS
 ENJOYED BY OFFICERS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 19, p. A. Wright did not attain his ambition for a lion hunt after all, even tho he bought his own lions and turn ed them loose on a 4O-acre island. The Sheriff's office beat him to it and moved the pets down with a machine gun.
 Nellie and Bess were purchased by Wright who said he could not afford to go to Africa for lion hunt. He released them four hours in advance before diving into the island jungles and in the meantime the officers of the law bagged them; their alibi was that they feared Wright and his companions might have gotten into trouble.
 The lions, formerly owned by a circus, were so tame they had to be showed out of their cage. Wright is a very disappointed hunter.

NEW YORK CITY NEARING BRINK OF
 FINANCIAL CRISIS

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, Charles E. Mitchell chairman of the board of directors of the National City Bank, told the city board Of esti- mates that, Near the brink of a financial crisis the credit of New York City is in a crumbling state" ,"
 He revealed that last weeks bankers had refused a 35,0O0,0OO loan to the city comptroller, and announced the refusal of bankers to advance further credit until sharp municipal economies were made.
 Following the warning the board of estimates slashed $49,000,000 from the sum set to finance the city subways in 1883, approved a motion to reduce salaries of it's own members to their 1926 level, and cut salaries of all city com misSiOnerS to a maximum of $12,- GOO; $3,000,000 were cut from the city's payroll. Salaries from the mayor down Wer ecut considerably.
 The difficulties of New York city's credit are largely political and have nothing to do with the fundamental of it's credit and fin ancial structure" Mitchell said.

ALASKA COLLECE AGAIN OFFERS SHORT
 MINING COURSES

For the past 10 years the Alaska College has offered a splendid short course, of 10 weeks duration, for the prospector and small mine operator. This work is of 3 very practical nature and the college bends every effort to make the training of much value to the man in the hills. An average of 20 to 25 men take this work each win ter For the most part these are men who have had mining experi- ence and many of them travel hun dredS of miles to reach the college for this work
 There is no magic about the tIaining-no inducement is held out that this work will enable man to go out into the hills and within a weeks time discover a valuable mineral deposit. But there is bona fide, inducement in the fact that the work will greatly Increase the mans effectiveness in the hills through opening his eyes to new possibilities and new meth eds of attack. Thus his chances for success in prospecting or min ing are multiplied many times.
 The work is covered by training in geology applied to prospecting, mineralogy, methods of treating different ores, opening up and equlpping the small mine or pros pect, fire aSsaying for gold and sil- yer, repair and maintenance of gas engine, etc.
 The total cost of this course Is about S25. The men may secure cabins in Fairbanks or stop at the college dormitory where board and room can be secured for S55 per month.
 Those travelling to the college via the Alaska Railroad should se- cure receipt when they purchase their railroad ticket This receipt entities them to free return trip over the railroad for a period Of lO days after the course is com pleted.
 Mining short course opens this year on November 26.

SUPER|NT PENDENT OF SCHOOL BELIEVED BEEN
 KILLED OR KICNAPED

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., Oct. 19, Several hundred men and boys are assisting local authorities in the search for Professor E. B. Thoms, 35, superintendent of the school system, who disappeared on Monday night.
 During a meeting with the truS- tees MT. Thomas discovered he was in need of certain papers left in his school office. He jumped into his auto and sped away; that was the last seen of him. Not returning in few minutes as he had told the trustees inquiry was made. His car was found outside the school with lights on and engine running. Going into the office the trustees found evidence of a terrific strug- gle.
 Furniture was scattered about, a desk upturned, papers scatter, spat- ters of blood on the floor and walls; even the radiator was torn from the wall.
 The theory expressed is that MT. Thomas surprised burglars at work on the safe before which were bur glary tools, and that Thomas was either killed and his body taken to remote spot, or that he was kidnapped.
