lEANY IMPROVEMENTS IN
 WRANGELL HIGHWAY SITES

Property holders along the Wran- gell Highway have added much to the attractiveness of the road dur ing the past few months. New houses are being constructed from time to time, and the owners of lot on which buildings have been completed are adding marked i'm provements to their grounds.
 Among the comparatively recent residents are MT. and Mrs. c. P. Mac Creary. who commenced building a four-room bungalow near Mile Three last April, where they are now living.
 The Tolback brothers, Leonard and Carl, are well along with their three-room log bungalow about three and a half miles out. Both men are skilled woodsmen and the logs are so carefully cut that caulk- ing tools could be used for caulking the cracks with oakum.
 Walter Rudolph has taken the lot adjoining the Tolbacks and has lum- Der on the ground to start build ing. Peter Casey also plans on build ing in this vicinity.
 Jimmy Jardin's logging donkey has been busy for the past three or four days, removing stumps from the property of Dr. R. N. Scruby adjacent to the airport. The owner plans on erecting small bungalow for a guest house. Dr. ScrubyP was one of the first property owners in this district to experiment with log buildings on a somewhat elaborate scale.
 Other residents along the highway who have added much to the inn provements in that section are: Jim Greenslate, Joe Helt, Dewey Church i'll, Mrs. Ethel Denny, Mrs. J. H. Wheeler, Jack McGowan, MT. and Mrs Lee Bunnell, MT. and Mrs. Gun nar Engstrom, MT. and Mrs. D. V. Baton, Al Anderson, George Scott, A Rasmussen, Dean Blodgett and Tom Mokler.

The launch Mary J., Capt. Will liam Strong. arrived from Telegraph Creek late Saturday night with Hackley Smith, his secretary, Miss Mary Joyce, and Walter Simpson, we'll known Cassiar guide and river man. MT. Smith and Miss Joyce have been ice-bound on the upper river for the past three weeks, after a hunting expedition into the Iskut Lakes country.
 The report a successful hunt and the bagging of two fine heads, moose and caribou Smith had hoped for sheep but they were late getting to the hunting grounds and heavy snowfall prevented the ascent of the high ranges where the animals are found. George Ball, one of the most popular and successful guides of northern British Columbia, outfitted the party and lead the hunt.
 Locked In By Ice
 Due to the early freeze-up in De- tober, Capt Strong was unable to reach Telegraph Creek at the ap- pointed time to meet the party and bring them out, although he made several attempts. Slush ice in the lower river and ice bridges further up, barred the way against boats.
 Meanwhile Smith, fearing that he might be detained in the upper river camp indefinitely, wired for an airplane. The Eastman flying boat from Anyox, which had been engaged by the provincial govern ment to carry the election ballot boxes to Telegraph Creek, found it impracticable to land and pick up the passengers. They dropped the boxes with parachutes, together with note of regret to Smith.
 Pilot Forester. who flew from Carcross to pick up the ballot boxes a few days after the election, offered to take Smiths party out as far as Carcross, a station on the White Pass railroad, but Pilot Me- Lean of the Alaska Air Express was already en route from Juneau, and as the weather seemed favorable. Smith declined Forrester's offer Unfortunately Mclean was forced down by snow storms and motor trouble and had to return to Juneau
 Strong Makes It
 Upon receiving word that the Stikine had opened and again and no ice was running at Telegraph Creek, Strong started from here with the Mary J., taking Miss Laura Robbins as a passenger. He en- aountered ice at the canyon, but it was soft and he succeeded in work ing his way through.

CAPT. STRONG BRINGS LATE HUNTERS
 OUT FROM TELEGRAPH CREEK, B. (.

In the meanwhile Smith had en- gagged Walter Simpson to take he and Miss Joyce to Wrangell in a small river craft equipped with out board motor. The two parties met at Grand Rapids. Strong continued the voyage to Telegraph Creek, where Miss Robbins brother await ed her, and then returned to Wran- gell with Smiths party.
 Peacemaker?
 Only one thing occurred to mar the pleasure of their sojourn in the interior, and even this is viewed as a lark, although it was brought to a legitimate conclusion before the magistrate of Telegraph Creek Smith alleges that he was passing the Hudson's Bay store late at night when he met a man escorting his wife home by the hair of the head The woman was making a great outcry. Smith deplored the proceed ings and was finally moved to pro- test forcibly.
 Fleet7footed Constable Boyce of the Provincial Police heard the sounds of tumult from the barracks at the other end of town, sped quickly to the scene of disturbance and arrested both combatants. Smith put up bail for his late antagonist as well as for himself. Recess Vas declared the next morn ing in order that the schoolmaster, who doubles as Jutice of the Peace, might hold court and pronounce judgment.
 Gallant Act
 You are charged with disturbing the peace" informed the magis- trate.
 Really, it's all mistake" Smith protested. q thought I was per forming a gallant act"
 "Ten dollars and costs" ruled the court.
 Over a game of bridge at the Magistrate' home that evening, Smith agreed that it Is sometimes indiscreet to interfere in domestic gquabbles.
 Foreign Legionnaire
 Smith and Miss Joyce left for Juneau on the Yukon, on the way to Twin Glacier Lodge on Taku River. Strong and Simpson left few hours later on the Mary J, which is used as tender between Juneau and the Taku lodge. Smith is an enthusiastic sportsman, and maintains a team of 16 sled-dogs at his camp. He came to Ala' about four years ago, after serving for several years in the French foreign Legion.

WASHINGTON-"United States credit is like Gibraltar" declared acting Secretary of the Treasury, Morgenthau in refuting statements in Professor Sprague's letter of res ignation as one of Roosevelt's treas sury advisors. Morgenthau for the first time revealed that the Trea- sury is actively supporting the government bond market which has been sagging under new financial policies. The surplus money from agencies under the Treasury's con- trol is being used to buy bonds in the open market as an investment, he said. The move is regarded as highly significant as the Federal Reserve System has virtually ceased open market operations. Last week it's bond purchases were only two million dollars as compared with their previous average of about thirty million weekly.

Alaska ArchaelOgiSt
 Makes Discoveries

With a wealth of information and after having collected a large quantity of relics Of prehistoric human beings and animals in re- search work on St. Lawrence Is- land, Otto Geist, eminent arch aeologlst, returned recently to the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. He spent five months this year on the island and has devoted six seasons to scientific inquiry into the earliest inhabitants of the Northland.
 Mound of Frozen Debris On the Island, Eskimo tabor was used exclusively in excavating. A 200 foot cut, 30 feet wide and rang ing between 15 and Is feet deep was made into an enormous ancient mound of frozen debris.
 The excavation, begun ill 1881, was continued the two following years. Much interesting material was encountered, and perhaps the finding of a human skeleton at a depth of about 12 feet, together with decorated specimens, will be of great value to science. The skele- ton evidently belonged to a person living during a so-called inter mediate" cultural stage. As is well known, the oldest culture thus far in Alaska is the 'Old Boring Sea Culture" while several intermediate cultures are identified by their diff ferent styles of decorations on wea- pons and utensils.
 First Upper House
 On and near the bottom of the excavation floor, many wonderful "Old Boring Sea" specimens, dec orated with beautiful curviliear de- signs, were found, while specimens of the first upper house, which was of comparatively recent origin, bore no signs of decorations.
 Indications thus show that the art degenerated somewhat with each wave of newcomers. The last three or four periods of inhabitants did not show any real artistic talent.
 Just who the first-comers were scientists do not know, but MT. Geist understands that Dr. Alex Hrdlicka, the eminent anthropol- ogist has gone very far in solving this very important problem. For this reason all the human skeletal material encountered is forwarded in large cases to Dr. Hrdlicka at Washington, D. c.
 Many Dog Skulls Quite important, also, was the finding of several hundred of dog skulls, inasmuch as they will rep resent some of the first dogs ever brought to Alaska from Asia, by way of Bering Sea. All the dog material has been forwarded to Dr. o. J. Nitric, a scientist fully capable of describing the ancient St. Lawrence island dogs.
 Polar bear skulls encountered were forwarded to the eminent pa- laeontologist of the American Mu- scum of Natural History at New York City, Dr. Childs Prick, who has already discovered among the material a possible new specie, now extinct.
