ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

Eighteen to one is the rehearsal formula for the elaborate full-hour programs on National Broadcast lng company networkg. For every hour of actual broadcasting there is, on the average. IS hours of re- hearsal, according to latest sur- veys.
 This fact explains why. NEG needs studios by the dozen in it's Radio City headquarters. One sixty-minute broadcast ties up a studio for more than two full working days.
 The number of hours each pro- gram rehearses depends on the type of entertainment offered, the amount of new talent introduced each week in the way of guest art ists, and similar variable factors. For a half-dozen big programs the rehearsal schedule this week reads as follows:
 Beauty Box Theater, with Gladys Swarthout, 35 hours; Cap tain Henry's Show Boat, 21 hours; Paul Whitemans Music Hall, 181a hours; Town Hall Tonight, with Fred Allen, 15h hours; Marie's Matinee, II hours; Rudy Vallee's
 
 These figures represent only rehearsals staged in the NEG studios. In addition, number of these programs hold outside re- hearsals. The six hours of enter tainment listed above represent a total of 111h hours of studio re- hearsal.
 The half hour and quarter hour programs require a proportionate amount of rehearsal time.

 A steamboat whistle, the music of home town band and the re- freshing hiss of a shower bath will be among the familiar sounds fash ed to the Antarctic during the Byrd Expedition program over WABC network between 10 and 10:30 p. m. The sound reel of civilization" is being broadcast at the request of expedition members who have been isolated in little America since early last winter.
 The first pickup point for the "sound reel" will be the roof gar den of the Hotel St MoritZ, New York, where man and woman will order dinner before a micro phone with the music of Leon Be- ground. The American Legion band of Beaver Falls, Pa, playing in the Granada Theater there, will send some home town music to James M. Sterrett, local man with the expedition. The mighty roar of the S.S. Berengaria's whis. tie will be waited through the ether from the Cunard Line piers in New York. A barker in front of the Capitol Theater, New York, will shout the movie palaces wares to the counterpoint of Broadway noises.
 The hiss if the shower bath will be accompanied by the singing of Cliff (Ukulele Ike) Edwards, who will not only take the shower but apparently enjoy it. Vera Van, Columbia's blue-velvet-voiced sing CT will perform Love, You Fun

 WITH LECTUREON ALASKA VOLCANOES.

seen in Asia. Hunters and other people living on the Peninsula. have plenty of respect for the brown bear.
 This summer we saw bear tracks larger than those of ele- plants and had several close calls with brownies. While some of them will move away or run when they scent humans, far more will stand pat or charge. One big fell low was dropped with a .3O-rifle not more than seven feet from the camera. We got a number of good close-ups of them with the telephoto lens, although I wouldn't want to try it without a hunter as cool and collected as George Peterson, our hunter, standing by, gun trained on the bear constantly, he said.
 Work in Alaska has many ad- vantages over the jungle First. there are no snakes, and 1t is pos sible to go to sleep at night with out the constant fear of them. The mosquitoes are bad, but there aren't the leeches one finds in the jungle which are worse than most of the animals. The Alaska coun- try itself is gorgeously scenic and I thoroughly enjoy outdoor pho tography of any sort.
 Missed Native Coolies
 "I did miss the coolies and pack CTS, which every jungle company has by the hundred. In Alaska you pack your own equipment as well as your bedding and food. This is possible because of the cool, heal thy climate. White men couldn't do it in the tropical jungles. This summer we each carried packs averaging 100 pounds, and at that, had so much equipment. cameras, films and so on, that we frequently ran short of food and lived for days on an unvaried diet of cari- bou, or whatever else we could find.
 This summer we carried two complete professional camera out fits, In addition to our regular packs, into such places as the Val ley of Ten Thousand Smokes It is probably the first time it has ever been done into many of the spots we struck. The trip to the Valley took about four days of hiking, at eight hours a day each way and the entire trip in and out was made in about three weeks, which Is, 1 think, a record. It has been an interesting summer and we have some wonderful pictures. he said.

OLD CANNON BALL FOUND
 IN TREE NEAR PETERSBURG

Early last week, reports the Pet ersburg Press, while Olaf Arness was saving into a log which was taken from the Twelve Mile Creek region after having squared up the log to IA or 16 inches he started to take a cut off one side when he ran the saw into something very hard and was forced to stop. Upon cross-cutting the log he found a shell, four inches in diameter shaped something on the order of a shrapnel shell, which had been embedded In the tree from 60 to so years.
 Just how this shell was embed ded In the tree, whether by combat or target practice, Is hard to state, but J. W. Wyckoff, who now has the shell, states that he may send it to the US. Navy yards to have the history traced and analysed.

S1249ShOwn in Assay
 Returns Quartz Gold

Assay returns received this week on gold bearing quartz samples sent to a Seattle laboratory by O.. W. Billion from mining claims on Bird creek, about 100 miles from Anchorage, went as high as $1279.- so per ton on No. 1 quartz rock and 70 cents No. 2 dyke rock.
 Billion returned the latter part of July from a trip to Bird creek where he re-staked mining claims which he first located seventeen years ago and also discovered new ledge from which the assay returns were made. The property is in a highly mineralized district not far from Mt. Mckinley. Considerable development work Is under way near MT. Billions claims, eight hy- draulic giants operating eight miles away on Peters creek, two giants are on Bird creek and various out fits in the district are operating In small way,
 The Billion claims are staked in the name of o. H. Billion, T. J. Me Bride, Harris Harms and Mrs. H. R. Coulter of Wrangell. They have not yet decided how they shall handle the ground, but 1t is probable that i, they will take in a five-ton stamp mill next winter over the snow.

FISHERMEN OBJECT HERRING
 PONDS IN WRANGELL HARBOR

Protests of Wrangell fishermen against herring fishing in the in- ner harbor of Wrangell Harbor and their request that such fishing be restricted within one mile of the mouth of the harbor, were trans mitted to the US. Bureau of Fish cries by the chamber of commerce at it's luncheon meeting Wednes- day.
 The fishermen believe that im- pounding big catches of herring in the harbor for bait as is done by outside boats each year, interferes with the salmon fishing in the harbor as the salmon feed on the herring.
 Another fishery matter that the chamber took up was to request Shirley A. Baker, Fisheries agent at Wrangell, to investigate the pos abilities of making salmon stream out of the left hand branch of Crittenden creek by doing some clearance work. The matter was presented by Charles Benjamin.
 Following discussion of the need of turnout near T. H. Davis's place on Wrangell highway where at a crest in the road, two cars often meet without seeing each other until almost together and one car must back up 100 yards to a turnout, the secretary was in structed to transmit the request for a turnout to H. Nettleton, mainten ance foreman for the US. Bureau of Public Roads.
 The chamber sent a letter to President Roosevelt inviting him to visit Wrangell while on his tour of Alaska next year.
 An invitation was also sent to the Navy, inviting some of the ves- sells which will take part in the war games in the Northern Pacific next summer, to visit Wrangell while in Alaskan waters.

Eastern Men Enjoy Big
 Game Hunt in CaSSiar

Fred Winters, real estate dealer of Chesapeake, Ohio, and J. A. Newberry, owner of the Cable Splicing company of Huntington, West Virginia, arrived on the Ha- gel B No. 3 Tuesday from Tele- graph Creek. where they were out fitted by George Ball for a 40-day big game hunt in the Cassiar.
 Their guide was Pat McCloskey. At the end of 26 days they had se- cured fine trophies of moose, cari- bou, goat and sheep, and as winter was closing in fast in the Cassiar mountains, snow over a foot deep making travel difficult, the men returned to Telegraph creek and caught the boat down river two weeks earlier than they had intend ed.
 They expressed themselves as having greatly enjoyed the hunt and the travel enroute to Telegraph Creek. The Inside Passage from Se- attle to Wrangell and the Stikine i1fOl nCiC uSNldi Vu tO bS lWO Ol the most beautiful scenic trips in their experience.
 Both men have hunted in various parts of the North American contin- ent, but this is their first trip into the Cassiar. Next year they plan to hunt in Alaska.
 The marvellous fall weather which has prevailed at Wrangell had given way to the rainy reason" when they returned here Tuesday and the beauty of the harbor was obscured much of the time that they spent here while waiting for their steam CT south.
 Nevertheless, they got about town and found much to. admire. The mountain ash trees, which un- til recently have not been grown anywhere else in Alaska, were the most admired. MT. Winters said he would give a thousand dollars if he could have the beautiful trees grow ing in his yard at home that are in the yards of Ernest Anderson and Mrs. Della Coulter on Cassiar street, and along other streets and homes in Wrangell, but he did not like the thought of waiting fifty years for them to grow to such pro portions.

Survey Party Here For
 Extension of Highway

The extension of Wrangell high way to a short distance beyond Pats creek, which the Wrangell chamber of commerce has been asking of the United States Bureau of Public Roads for the past four years, is likely to be made next year.

PLANS NEW BUSINESS
 DIST. AT NOME

NOME, Oct. IA complete plan for the new business district in Nome has been laid out by the fed eral emergency relief administra- tion committee and includes streets about 90 feet wide with Front street moved back from the beach about 50 feet farther than the ori- ginal plan. The relocating of lots finally has been settled and mer- chants now are preparing to erect structures for doing business until spring when permanent buildings are to be constructed along entirely modern lines.
 Main arterial streets are to be strengthened out by the new plans with wider cross avenues Cleaning of the debris from the disastrous blaze was completed yesterday un- der the federal emergency relief administration. Lots are now being surveyed preparatory to temporary building.
 The recent rains aided working crews in cleaning up the debris and helped mining operations in this vicinity. It is estimated that the gold output of this section this year will be far above that of pre- vious years.
 There have been 30 applications made by Nome families for assist ance from the Red Cross in build ing homes in which to live during the winter.

A large and appreciative audi ence was present Saturday night when the Rev. Father Bernard Hubbard, famed as the Glacier Priest" presented moving pictures of his work in scientific investiga- tion and exploration of the volcan- oes of the Aleutian peninsula and in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
 For the past eight years Father Hubbard has come to Alaska each spring with three or four college boys to aid him in his work. Dur ing the winter he is engaged in ex- tensive lecture tours Every cent of profit from his pictures and lec- lures is returned to Alaska for dis bursement by Bishop Crimont for Alaska missions.
 Saturday night was the first op- portunity Wrangell citizens have ever had to hear Father Hubbard.
 Next spring he is coming back to Wrangell to film and explore La Conte glacier and the Stikine river, and he has promised to show the pictures which were secured this year under the direction and filming by expert picture men.
 Nick Cavaliere, who did the pho tographic work for "Conquering the Aghileen Pinnacles," presented in Juneau by the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, is no stranger to outdoor photography or the dangers encoun- tered while obtaining pictures of the wild and uninhabited portions of the globe, according to the Ju- neau Empire
 Since 1881 he has been associat ed with Frank Buck, who has achieved fame with his features showing the adventures experienced when collecting wild animals from their jungle homes for the zoos and circuses of the world. MT. Ca valiere was photographer for both Bring Elm Back Alive" and "Wild Cargo" and had many in- teresting experiences with MT. Bucks expeditions into the jungles of Asia.
 Bears Worse Than Tigers
 "On the tip of the Alaska penin- sula we crossed trails with brown bears that make the animals of the jungle, tigers, partners, elephants and all, look tame" he declared in speaking of his recent trip with the "Glacier Priests" party. "The brownies are more vicious and dangerous, will attack more readi ly than any animals I have ever
