Missed Native Coolies


II did miss the coolies and pack
ers, 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, healthy
climate. White men couldn't do it
in the tropical jungles. This sum-
mer we each carried packs averag-
ing 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 UNMARRIED diet of caribou, 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 1t
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 day each
way and the entire trip in and out
was made in about three weeks,
which is, think, a record. 1t has
been an interesting summer and we
have some wonderful pictures. The
whole experience was far different
from the work did in filming

Patience is the chief require

times it is necessary to wait weeks

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 The

seeking to reassure industry that
changes in the Recovery program
will be made only after due de-
liberation.
Last month the President is
sued an order cutting the hours of
cotton garment workers from 40 to
So hours week. without loss in
pay.s
Amendments to the code, putting
the changes into effect, were due
to take effect Monday.
Revolt Against Order
Manufacturers evolted d, some
threatening to appeal to the courts.
Workers agreed to call strikes in
any plants failing to observe the
order.
President Roosevelt, pointing out
that MIRA is being reorganized,
postponed the date of the change
in hours to October Is and this
permits of hearings for the inter
ested parties concerned.

EYE WITNESS
OF NOME FIRE
TELLS STORY
H. L. Stull, Aboard Aleu-
tian, Gives Vivid Pic
ture of Destruction

The first eyewitness to the Nome
fire to arrive in juneau. H. l..
Stull, mining man of Deering, AL
aska, is a passenger aboard the
Aleutian enroute to the States to
spend the winter.
Mr.. Stull has prepared his own
impressions of Nome on 1.-THE
M forming After" and graciously
loaned them to enquiring reporters
who have interviewed him since he
left Nome on his trip outside.
Following is Mr.. StulPs story:
The Morning After
AS I stand in the lobby of the
Lincoln, only hotel left in town,
and look up Front Street, this is
what I see:
First, where the Commissioners
office was, looms up the double
vault with it's two doors facing me.
With everything else flat, these
vaults look like skycrapers in a city.
Off to the right stands two-and-
a-half story building that houses
the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Up
First Avenue in the distance one
can see two buildings only, Polet's
warehouse on Snake River Harbor
and the old Pioneer office building
on this side Of it. Hardly to be
seen from here is row of cabins,
the first being Tom Jensen's. Across
the street and a block farther down
this way the cabins are still stand
ing.
Cleaned Out
Walking up past the railroad
crossing so as to see past the
Ames Mercantile Company build
ing, you will see the fire cleaned
out everything from there up town,
and back to Fourth Street, but did
not cross the track. Up Steadman
the first building still standing is
Rude's. Here Mrs. Davis is serving
meals this morning. The old log
cabin is gone, but across the street
the telephone office was saved. The
Court House vault shows the &C.
ment fallen away from beneath the
door and smoke coming from the
inside indicates that the contents
are no doubt destroyed. The vault
of the present bank seems to be
okay, but will not be opened for
several days to be sure that it has
cooled off enough to be safe.

Mali Dust Exblosive

fatal explosions from accommodations Of dust
continue with too great frequency despite
the long campaign the Federal Government has
carried on through the Department of Agricul-
ture TO acquaint the public with the danger
from this source.
One of the most recent of such explosions
occurred at Buffalo, NJ Y, when persons
were killed, IA firemen injured and property
damage to the extent of $79, 900 incurred.
The disaster occurred in a mating plant,
in which grains were being prepared for brew
ing purposes. As a result Of the explosion
samples of barley and malt dust have been
subjected to the tests other dusts,
with the same conclusions, namely, that dust
when ignited by a spark or otherwise VIII
cause disastrous blast.
Frequently in fighting factory fires hremen
are injured as a result of explosions caused
when streams of water hit accumulations of
dust sending much of it into the air in fine
cloud in ideal condition TO cause an explosion.
The blast too frequently follows. ANY mate
rial which has fairly low ignition point pre-
sents a constant hazard If permitted to lie
around in the form of dust Safety requires
that such accumulations be prevented

Hog Production L0q0

DRESENT indications that the national
production of hogs this year will reach what
is termed the normal production Of the FIVE
year period from 1910 to 1914. Should this low
figure be reached naturally pork would be
somewhat short, for the population has grown
since that period.
During the 1928 slaughter period, Al mil
hon head went to the abbatoirs. The prospects
for the coming season indicate slightly more
than 10 million less. This has been accom-
plished through slaughter of brood sows and
slaughter of young pigs of last years farrow-
ing while still around 100 pounds in weight.
The number Of sows to farrow during the
period from June l TO December l of this
year win be 80 per cent under last year, which,
Of course, means tremendous decrease
The decrease has been due in part to Gov
ernmental eurtailment efforts and in part to
high prices for corn which have combined with
low prices for hog products to make it eco
nomically unsomd to raise hogs on the former
large scale. .fssss''- slEassfs sssos - o.
