standing contribution to the so- ciologacal literature of America
 Of course everyone in the Koyu- kuk knows the author and many other Alaskans will remember him
 A forester, by training, he first went to the Arctic to study tree growth and returned to study peo- pie. His second trip to Wisenlan was made in 1930 and he remained there until the fall of 1881, weaving what promises to be a best seller out of his observations of the small group of residents of that isolated camp. His book is en- tirsly sympathetic and he de scribes the Koyukukers as the hap piest people he has ever known
 Marshall served in the U. s. For est Service and then took his Ph. D. degree in plant physiology at John Hopkins He has previously written for scientific publications but this is his first popular work.

ART M'KINNON HAS BULLET REMOVED
 AFTER 25 YE AIRS

Art McKinnon is at home re- cuperating from the results of an accident which occurred twenty five years ago, when he was just a lad. When he was cleaning .22 calibre rifle. long ago, it exploded unexpectedly and the bullet lodged in his foot where it has been until it was removed at St Ann's Hos pital this morning.
 At the time the accident oc- cured the doctor decided against removing the bullet as the opera tion would have necessitated cut ting into the heel with the possi- bility of laming him, but in the years that have passed, the bullet worked down into the arch of the foot and was causing considerable trouble, so that MT McKinnon decided to have it extracted. He will be laid up at home for several days

Annual maintenance IS estimated by the Chisf of Army Engineers at $1 ,250.
 Contingent upon assurance from local interests that a contract has been entered into for the construc- ton Of a cold storage plant, the bill calls for the expenditure Of SIT 900 to provide a channel 2 feet de-p and 200 feet wide at Kodiak. Five hundred dollars an- nually would be required for main tenance.
 Six hundred dollars would be set aside annually to clear snags haz- ardou5 to navigation on the Sti- kline River.
 A recommendation is made that $5 900 be set aside for clearing the channel at the head of the Egegik River
 Congress is asked to appropriate for Wrangell Narrows $l42,000 with $2,O00 for maintenance the first year and $500 annually for five years thereafter, to provide for a channel 24 feet deep at mean low CT low water and PTS feet wide at Shoal No 1, the easing of curves at Shoal No. 5, 6, T, and 12, the removal of a rick pinnacle opposite Anchor point, and five small rcck pinnacles in the towing channel.
 The bill provides S79O00 for dig ging a channel feet deep and 60 feet wide at Dry Pass.
 Finally an appropriation of $56,- OD9 is asked for further improve IF int of Wrangell Harbor. A dredg- ed basin about 400 feet by eco feet would be provided at the south end of the harbor with depth of 10 feet below mean lower low water

company is the only one in the country with facilities for this work.
 At the most recen1~ saTs of ssalskins the bureau sustained a loss of $65, ,OeO on 25oOO0 skins, the Herald learned
 Under the new contract, the company agrees to sustain any losses
 Another clause in the contract guarantees the Government a prof. it of $2 each on 78,00O skins now on hand. If sold under present conditions, the bureau would sus- tain a loss of s2oO,0OO on these seals.
 Essential part of the contract reduces from $12.50 to S1o5o the amount allotted the company for curing and dyeing skins. It costs the government $1.35 to kill each seal and deliver the skin to St. Louis"

ORDER AbATINC NORTHERN LIGHT FINALLY FOUND
Front Street Place of Busi- ness Abated After Five
 Months Elapse

Although ordered aoated last De- cember, the Northern Light Pool Room and it's operators, Roy Poloff Mike Karls and Jim Jihiloff, were not actually forced to discontinue business until yesterday by one oi the strangeSt mixups ever rscord- ed in the local Federal district court.
 Last December the three men were arrested, the fixtures and stock seized and moved out of their place of business known as the Northern Light Pool Room, located on lower Front Street. They pleaded guilty to violating. the Al a2ka Bone Dry law, were fined and an abatement ordered entered clos ing the place for year.
 "A few days after the plea oI guilty was entered, the Marshal's office, as custodian, was directed to return to the place the fixtures and stock seized in the raid. This was done, and the three men re- stunned the business for which they are licensed, selling soft drinks. to- baccos, etc, and operating a pool and card room. Without molesta- ton they continued doing busi- ness until yesterday.
 This, too, dsspite the fact that Judge Harding had signed an abatement order on December 15 last, closing the place for F months from that date. Monday after having been informed the Northern Light was operating, the United States district attorney office began. an inquiry to deter mine how and why. The abate- ment order had been prepared in that office.
 After some search of the records and filss, the original order and copies for service were located in the files of the office of Clerk of Court It had never been trans mitted to the United States Mar shal's office for service upon the

 Dimond Acts
 Delegate Dimond could not testi- fly because of his illness. He did, however, file written statement urging that Alaska be exempted from the bill on the ground that its application there would be nothing short of ruinous Every ma jor industry in the Territory, he pointed out, would have to cur tail operations, perhaps almost to the vanishing point. Those de- pendent upon the fisheries and gold mining for their livelihood, comprising by far the majority of Alaskans gainfully employed, would have their incomes drastically cur tailed or perhaps even cut off all together. The result would be that the Territory would be de- populated. Isolated mining camps where there often times is no sur plus of labor would have to let the precious water flow past them un- used if they were to comply strict ly with the provisions of the law. The Delegate pointed out that if fOreipo nr0 d II ctS vera imn0rte1 without labor restrictions similar to those in the United States, Alas ka coal mines, already handicapped by British Columbia competition, might stand in danger of lcsing the lccal markets which they have now. He also noted what the ef- feet of this would be on the Ter ritorial treasury.

 It took but a short time to find a rem dy. The date of signature of the order was promptly changed from December 15 to May 15; ssrv- ice was made yesterday and the Northern Light closed it's door un- der the order for q period Of on, year from the latter date.

come the errors and mistakes of earlier years.
 Alaska has marvellous oppor- tunities in mining and I hope my friends there will continue to write me particularly on gold and silver properties if they think I can pos sibly aid them with money or otherwise to carry on their de- velopments.
 T am sorry that Alaska with billions of tons of coal has no bunker facilities for export. It is ridiculous
 T am a real friend to the In- ternational Highway to Alaska and II hope Alaska will press forward with construction of her section of that great project. I trust also that the Matanuska and Kenai roads will be extended.

individuality Marks Compact Home Plans
Virginia Colonial Air
Achieved With This
Weeks Design.
VARIED TREATMENT
IS MADE POSSIBLE
Gilbert Rodier. Architect,
Suggests Attractive
Dining Room.

r INDIVIDUALITY Of style and COM
pactness of plan are outstanding
features of the house design Of
/ fered by the Washington Chapter
of the American Institute OF Archi-
tects today as the eighth in a series OF
home ideas to be published in the Real
Estate section of The Star.
Characterized by an early Virginia
Colonial feeling, the house was de-
signed by Gilbert L. Rodler, archltect,
and offers many opportunities for varied
treatment in the construction, both on
the interior and exterior.
Best suited for a lot which slopes
from front to rear, which the architect
feels is an ideal condition in all cases,
the dwelling would be located to ad-
vantage on a 6O-foot lot, with the
house facing the east. A 50-foot 'front.'
age would be ample on a corner lot.
Compactness Is Feature.
Compactness Of plans and economy
of construction were the debating fac
tors in the designing Of this house. Mr..
Rodier says. OF particular note in this
respect is the unusually small area
given to hall space and the fact that
all plumbing is concentrated in one
corner Of the house. The central loca-
ton of the chimney shortens distrlbu-
ton from the heating plant and in
creases efficiency.
The basement plan, not shown IN the
accompanying illustration makes pro-
vision for q recreation room under the
living room. The laundry and lava
tory are located under the kitchen and
the heating plant under the dining
room.
A debatable feature Of the house is
the location of the stairway with re-
spect to the kitchen and the front en-
trance. If the housekeeper employs
maid. she must pass through either the
living room or dining room to reach the
front door, which is not desirable" says
the architect "On the other hand, II
the housekeeper does the kitchen work.
which Is probable in the case OF small
home such as this, the arrangement
shown is most convenient"
Pine Effect Suggested.
A pleasing effect could be created in
the dining room by the use Of knotty
pine boards from floor to ceiling, with
a pine cornice, all wood to be stained
honey color and waxed. The living
room might be done in simple wood
trim and chair rail, with plaster cor
nice The walls might be painted in
light gray-green color.
For the exterior, the architect sug-
gests old brick painted white and
roof Of red tile. Red brick with gray
slate roof also would be attractive.
In the design submitted Mr.. Rodier
suggests use of cast-iron trellis work.
executed in the New Orleans manner,
for front porch supports.
The cost of building this house In
Washington. at current prices Of labor
and materials, would range between
$1,000 and $4,000 In the opinion Of the
architect.

administration home mortgage relief
measure. 1t differs in these respects: 1t
provides for the working out of the
whole problem Of urban mortgage re-
lief; it would require new institu-
ton; it would call for NO new public
financing, and under it, lending on
real estate mortgages would be left in
the existing normal private channels.
Practices Closely Studied.
The bill has been drafted with close
attention to actual mortgage practice
and actual mortgage conditions 1t Is
on broad basis. but is conservative in
its provisions. 1t would at once enable
insurance companies, banks and other
financing institutions to liquefy con-
siderably their existing mortgage hold
ings. 1t would open the new financing
urgently needed to carry out reorganiza-
tion of mortgage issues on apartment
buildings. Office buildings and other
large-scale structures
In so doing it would both strengthen
the whole existing financing structure
Of the country and accelerate the reor-

Mortgage Discount System.
The measure would set up a general
mortgage discount system for the
United States, to provide for the Ma
tion's longterm financing the same
kind Of discount facilities which the
Federal Reserve System now gives for
short-term commercial paper.
The proposed system would provide,
in q conservative but comprehensive
manner, for all classes of mortgages
other than agricultural, but with spe-
cial consideration to home mortgages
and low-cost housing
1t would enlarge and extend the
scope of the Federal Home Loan Bank,
by amendment Of the act creating that
institution. so as to take advantage of
its organization and to preserve the
benefits of State legislation authorizing
State corporations to transact business
with 1t. To indicate the additional
functions 1t proposes that the name be
changed to the Federal Mortgage Bank.
A workable plan Of emergency relief
for the home owner in his mortgage
problem Is the first object of the bill

gency provisions has points of similarity
