The formation of a Rotary club
in Juneau started this week under
an organizing committee of five To-

tional group.
Nunan has been delegated for
the task by Stanley Long, Seattle,

DR.. PAUL GORDON RETURNS AS
ASSISTANT TO DR.. GRUENING

DR.. Paul w. Gordon, former
Alaskan director of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, returned north last
week from Washington, d. c., as
an assistant to Dr. Ernest Gruen-
ing, head of the new Federal bureau
having supervision over territories
and insular possessions.
The bureau was founded last
year to act as a special co-ordinat-
ing agency, particularly for depart
ment of interior work.
DR.. Guening also is a member of
the interdepartmental committee on
Alaskan affairs and his influence,
therefore, extends to each phase of
the federal government activities
in the territory.
For the coming six weeks DR..
Gordon will travel through Alaska
as far as Nome to confer with fed
eral, territorial and municipal
authorities regarding the federal
governments activities in the terri
tory, in general, and with the work
of the PWA, FERA and WPA in
particular.
After visiting interior points, DR..
Gordon will return to the coast for
investigation of activities of the
towns in this area.

GOVERNMENT SETS UP NEW
FEDERAL OFFICE AT JUNEAU

A new accounting office for fed
eral activities in Alaska is being set
up and j. George Wenzel arrived
in Juneau recently to assist in the
work. Wenzel comes from the trea-
sury department and will help
Charles Naghel, who is now dis
bursting officer for the interior de-
partment in Alaska, and who is to
head the new Alaska state accounts
office.
The work now being done by
Naghel is being taken over by j. r.
Elliott of the treasury department,
who arrived from Washington re-
Gently and when the change is COM
pleted Naghel will head the general
accounting office for the Territory
and Elliott disbursing.
Wenzel says it is the aim of the
government to have more of the &C
counting that is now done in Wash
ington carried on in the respective
states and territories and changes
going into effect here are a fore
runner of that goal.

Leo Mccormack Family
To Visit In Nova Scotia

Mr.. and Mrs. Leo Mccormack, ac-
companied by their little daughters,
Mary, Elinor, Jean, Joan and Shir-
ley, took passage on the Canadian
Pacific steamer Princess Louise to-
day for Prince Rupert enroute to
their old home in Kentville, Nova
Scotia.
The itinerary of the family is
definite in some respects and de-
lightfully indefinite in others. On
their way they will stop at Edmon-
ton, Alberta, to visit Mr.. McCorm-
ack's brother, P. D. Mccormack,
who is a conductor on the c.. N. Ry.
A days stop will be made at Winni-
peg to visit friends and another
day will be spent in Montreal.
I'VE don't known how long we
shall stay at Kentville," said Mr..
Mccormack this morning. Maybe
until our welcome wears out. 1t is
Alice's first trip in Is years; she
mas been too busy rearing the
family to think about a trip before
now"
Mr.. McCormacks mother is So
years old. Mrs. Mccormack has not
seen her mother since she visited
mere nine years ago. While the
mothers are the chief reasons for
making the trip, many other rela-
tives and friends had a part in their
desire to revisit their old home.
On the return trip across the COLI
tinent the McCormacks will stop in
Detroit to visit his brother, j. F.
Mccormack, who is a foreman in
Henry Ford's plant. The last stop
after leaving Seattle is scheduled
for Vancouver, British Columbia, to
visit R. R. Mccormack, chief train
dispatcher on the P. G. & Ry.

SCant Jail Comfort For
Ketchikan offenders

Monday was moving day" for
ketchikan municipal government,
according to the Ketehikan
Chronicle.
New quarters for city council
chambers in the Ketchikan Public
Utilities building are ready for oc-
cupancy and so is new jail ready
for occupancy. And while the
former is noteworthy for its fine
furniture and attractive fixtures,
the Jail is notable for its lack of the
comforts of life.
Councilmen in the future will
discuss the destinies of the city and
decide their courses of action while
seated ON large and accommodating
leather upholstered swivel chairs
that surround a meeting table. Spec
tators at the meetings will be seated
in comfortable chairs placed in the
second floor room of the building.
Old Table Used
The new table for the council has
not been finished yet and for a
while the old one that served for
years in the abandoned city hall
will have to suffice. But otherwise
everything is ready.
Two committee rooms off the
main chamber have been completed

BUFFALO HERD WITH MANY
CALVES SEEN AT JARVIS CREEK

Rolling and playing on a bank of
the Tanana river, 81 buffalo were
sighted recently near Jarvis Creek.
The buffalo appeared happy. Some
of the larger ones were leading
calves out into the water to play
and to drink. Calves formed large
proportion of the herd 1t is be-
lieved that this was one of three
herds of buffalo now in that dist
riot. The fifteen buffalo brought
from the states and released as an
experiment at Jarvis Creek a few
years ago are believed to have in
creased to approximately 100 now.
One of the three herds seems to
have left that immediate district
but this herd was less than a mile
from the spot where the original Is
were released. Jarvis Creek is on
the Richardson Highway 101 miles

Mr. Johnson has spent the past
30 years in some phase OF the fish

lies in the operation OF the big
herring reduction plants.
He relates that this season there
was good fishing at Cape Pole from
about the middle of May until
month later. Four hundred boats,
nand trollers and power boats, We're
fishing and each boat was making
rom SIS to $50 daily from the king
salmon caught. Not over % per cent
of these boats, he stated, were out

By
THE OLD WARDEN

We'll, after reading all those int
eresting items written by the
younger member OF the force in last
weeks paper, | was very much sur
prised when the editor came around
and asked me to write again.
The glorious First has come and
gone and l am glad to say that al
most everyone who was lucky
enough to get out got their limit
was sorry to see that couple of
the boys felt that they had to Sc
cure bag regardless and so jumped
the gun about twelve hours think
it is far more sporting to wait until
the season is open and So give ey-
eryone an equal start, rather than
take a chance on spelling every
ones shoot just to be sure and get
few birds yourself.
understand that the shooting
was very poor on the flats last week
end; so poor, in fact, that Charlie
Benjamin and his boy stopped hunt
ing when the tide came in and went
for a swim. l think that the birds
are burned out at the flats as |
understand from the moose hunters
that there are large numbers of
birds in the lakes up the Stikine.
As you all know, many of us pre-
tested against Alaska being given
the same short season as the States
and after reading the game laws
printed in this months Field and
Stream, l am sure that our conten-
ton was well founded. Practically
every province in Canada will en-
| joy the full season allowed under
the Migratory Bird Treaty with rea-
sonable bag limits.
British Columbia will have
| nd-a-half-month season and
bag limit of 5 birds per day and
a possession limit of thirty. Now,
considering that the conditions both
here and in B. C. are very much tn
same, | leave it to you as to wheth-
er or not the powers that be in
Washington did not hand Alaska a
raw deal. Oh we'll, anything to save
the birds for Californians, because,
as we all remember, California
swung a national election not so
many years ago.
While we are on the subject of
Washington, D. c., l noticed in a
recent edition of the Seattle Times
that J. N Darling, chief of the
Bureau of Biological Survey has
just about made up his mind to
| quit. 1t seems that he let off a
broadside at the Administration for
not keeping it's promises about CIV
ing his department funds to help
bring bck the wildfowl and he did
not stop at that but went right on
and told about all the graft in the
government bureaus.
He says he expects to get fired for
telling the truth and l hope il
he does that the millions of sports
men throughout the length and
breadth of our country will rise in
their just wrath and tell these po-
lltfcal parasites where to horn in.
l hope that the sports writer for
the Alaska Weekly does not hear
about these Canadian seasons as it
will probably give him such a shock
that he will start letting off liter
airy broadsides against the blood
thirsty Canadians which will prob
ably result in international compli-
cations as these Canadians have a
way of telling us Americans just
how to mind our own business.
Well, as certain radio reporter
says, That's 80 for tonight,
friends, and just remember: that

Mrs. Henry, a noted horticultur-
list, is a director of the American
Horticultural Society, a member of
the council and chairman of the
library committee of the Pennsyl.-
vania Horticultural Society, a men,
Der of numerous other organizations
and contributing editor of the Ma
tional Horticultural magazine.
She is the mother of four child
rem and as they grew older and
needed less of her attention, she
turned her activities increasingly
into horticultural research in
which she had been interested since
young girlhood.
The latter part of last June she
left her home in Gladwynne, a
beautiful Philadelphia suburb to
start, in company with her daugh-
ter, on her fourth trip into the far
North and her eleventh experience
in the Canadian Rockies.
Mrs. Henry is a charmingly gra-
cious little person, keen, alert, with
hair prematurely white, giving no
hint in her small stature of the ire
mendous vigor and strength that
she must possess to come through
such strenuous trip with no indi-
cation of fatigue.
