T h e Ketchikan Chronicle of November P received here this morning, carried an Associated Press dispatch from New York City which stated that A. R. Brueger and Miss Margaret Grant of Wran- gell, were married at the New York municipal chapel on November 21.

ESkimOS ExOnerated of Nome LOOtlng Charges

Drink Crazed Eskimos, Looting and Pilfering the Ruins," was an intriguing line that found it's way to the top of nearly every Associa- ted Press newspapers front page as Nome dissolved itself into a smouldering heap of ashes. The Nome representative of that news gathering organization sent it over the radio to Seattle and from there it was relayed all over the world as "hot" phase of the big fire.
 The Nome Eskimos were pictur- ed as marauders, taking full ad- vantage of the white mans pre- dicament. Few questioned the au- thenticity of the dispatches at the time. Then the Bureau of Indian Affairs office at Juneau began to wonder, sent out inquiries and re- ceived a report which was alto gether at variance with the news paper accounts. Following is a copy of the report, which speaks for itself:
 "I have heard of these news paper flashes and have realized their seriousness. However, looking at the matter from the viewpoint of one not interested in dramatic headlines and sensational news flashes, allow me to state that l saw but one drunken Eskimo anG I personally took care of this in- dividual to the extent of seeing that he was taken inside the Ma tive Club House and cared for by his sister. I have talked to many people regarding the drink crazed Eskimo, footing and pilfering the ruins" and to a person they re- marked that such statements were erroneous.
 "The US. marshal stated that one native was arrested and this for being drunk. AS to the state ment regarding many were arrest ed and locked up in small cabins, MT. Gaffney, US. marshal, states that this is absolutely false The city marshal is in accord with the US. marshal.
 Speaking to several of the leading merchants here, they com- mented on the great amount of help the Eskimos were in helping to remove furniture, food, cloth ing, etc., as we'll as fighting the fire. The merchants refused to place the responsibility for footing and pilfering upon the natives"

Trade Trends
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Flour-The export movement has
increased during the past week. New
domestic business continues light.
Prices show no important variations
from those ruling a week ago.
Worsteds-Trade reports point to a
rather slow demand for mems wear
worsteds. and until surplus stocks in
the hands of clothing manufacturers
and jobbers are cleared, millmen look
for no pronounced change in the buy
ing trend.
Zinc-There have been offerings,
the trade hears, at small concessions
from the list prices. The softening
of the price tone is puzzling to the
trade in view of favorable statistics.
Surplus stocks were reduced 1000
tons in February.
Chemicals-Tin derivitives have
been marked up a cent pound be-
cause of f1rmer conditions in the mar
ket for the metal. Consumption OF
sodium phosphate is said to be run
ming at a good level, with prices
steady.
Percales-A few good-sized orders
were placed in the primary market
last week, but general demand showed
signs of easing. Market interest re-
port that the Spring season has been
one of the busiest in a long time.

4 CCORDING to the best authori-

mated from the old Morse "Storbocki, ;"
meaning a great man, or leader. 1t
first appears in old English records Of
the poll tax for West Riding in York
shire in 1879.
The American family of Starbucks
traces ancestry to the English settler
Edward Starbuck, a gentleman Of
prominence who was among the earli-

Edward was born in England about
1904 and came to America from Der
byshire with his wife, Katharine, in
1885. He was granted land in Dover,
N. H., in 1643. At the age of SIS he
joined Thomas Macy in his pilgrim
age back to Nantucket, where he be-
came leading citizen and served his
community in various official capaci-

n yEW YORK, March 10 tP).-
Alcohol shares were under
" pressure through the morning
L in consequence of the over
night announcement of the
administrations decision to forego
allotments on liquor imports. The
news was not surprising, inasmuch
as there had been plenty of discussion
Of possibility of such development
for weeks past. Plainly indicated as
intended to bring domestic prices
down, the move can only be inter-
preted as bearish on the earning
prospects for home companies. Ma
tional Distillers and others in the
group were a bit easier, but without
developing any unusual volume on
the selling side
Canadian distillery issues, listed
chiefly on the Curb, failed to respond
noticeably to the news. Those COM
panies, however, should stand to
profit handsomely from the decision.
but their stocks hardly budged from
previous closing levels.
Traders who follow the market on
the basis of chart movements are
finding themselves a little perplexed
these days. Technically, the posi-
ton Of the list, or at least indus
trials, seems to boil itself down to a
case Of the particular average which
one follows. The market average,
which is perhaps most widely fol-
lowed, is shown to have broken all
trend lines. But two other sets Of
averages which are used extensively
have not as yet violated the up
trend" line. The first average yes
terday showed industrial stocks ap-
preciably lower on the day. On the
other hand, one of the other two re-
vealed industrials used as closing
higher and the second set the days
decline at a nominal figure.
All three indices, however, now
show industrials lodged in the "apex"
Of the triangle formed by the highs
and lows of the latest swing. This
condition is invariably indicative of
definite breaking out Of the range
one way or the other.
Inquiry in sources conversant with
the situation brings out the fact
that such quarters do not take any
stock in reports current of possible
Canadian dollar devaluation. 1t is
pointed out that the Canadian dol
lar, about a parity with our dollar,
has accordingly experienced CORE
spending depreciation, though formal
devaluation has not been announced.
Moreover, the Dominion, it is shown,
being liberal external borrower,
would only increase the burden of
servicing its external debts by any
1ayther currency adjustment.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY H. N. McGILL,
McGill Commodity Service, Inc.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, March 10
Commodity prices during the week
just closed moved horizontally, show
ing no change from the previous week.
The index, however, rests at the new
high that was established a week ago
-43 per cent over the corresponding
period last year. Preliminary reports
pertaining to industrial activity show
moderate progress, very much unlike
the sensational expansion that was
evident in the early stages of the de-
velopment year ago. During the
week, out of IA individual groups, six
advanced, four declined and four re-
corded no change
higher than in the previous week, re-
flecting strength in building materials,
nonferrous metals and fine textiles.
Farm Prices Higher.
Agricultural prices we're also higher.
During the week advances in corn,
cotton, eggs, hay, f1aXseed and butter
more than offset price weakness in
wheat, oats, barley, rye, beans, pea
nuts and potatoes.
Live stock prices failed to move up
ward with the industrial and agri-
cultural groups. Rejecting the de-
cline In cattle and lambs the index
averaged lower.
Building materials again showed
strength due entirely to higher
price for lumber
Hides and leather represent one of
the four groups to decline, hides
breaking one-half cent to the 9ls-
cent level
Non-ferrous metals gained ground
during the week. Silver prices ruled
lower. which was offset by higher quot
tations for tin and antimony.
Paint materials recorded more
weakness han any other group due
to the sharp reaction in rosin and tur-
pentine.
Fine Textiles Lead.
Fine textiles showed the greatest
proportionate gain of any group. Al
though silk averaged slightly lower,
an upward trend was renewed in cot
ton and certain cotton goods.
Most important price changes in
the McGill weekly price index Qe26
equaling 1000 were as follows;
