Canoe Was Far Better Than Modern Boats As It Did Not Crack-Red Cedar Used If It Was Handy.

Some of the people of our race have said that the canoe is far better than any of our modern boats, an old South eastern Alaska native said to the editor of the Valdez Min CT, a year or so ago. He said that it lasted them longer, never leaked unless cracked, and it did not cost them any thing.
 The old man said that early in the fall he would start out with his tent and provisions and go to the mouth of some river and stop there. Next morning we started out to hunt for large red cedar. There are plenty of red ced- ars, but the old man would accept only the proper kind

 Since then clarification of the issue has been made. and a telegram was sent to MT. Dan Ahern, to whom the or iginal order was first made re questing a team, asking who shipped the horses.

vindicate him of the allegation.

FOR BANK LOANS
Federal Reserve Governors
Expected to Make Pub

The Federal Reserve Bank COVER
nors, in session here, were reported
to be agreed today that prospects are
good for increased bank loans.
Public announcement of the off,
cials' two-day deliberations on the
question of excess bank reserves was
expected at the close of the days
meeting.
While governors declined to COM
ment on their discussions of yester-
day, it was reported that they found
business prospects encouraging. It
was said the officials, who make up
the systems Open Market Committee,
would carefully avoid any action which
might change this trend.
From some quarters, however, there
was a report that a moderate increase
in bank reserve requirements might
be recommended. The reserves now
stand at a peak of 5000 900 600
which is s3,310,000,00 in excess OF
the required amounts.
Some of the reserve governors were
said to believe reserve requirement
increases would be advisable as a
means of cutting the potential credit
base. The Federal Advisory Council
however. has recommended, instead
that reserves be reduced through sale
of Government bonds in reserve banks
to member institutions.
The controlling group-the reserve
board itself-disagrees with both. II
feels that nothing should be done
for the present. 1t believes controls
are adequate for quick application
of the brakes, should such a credit
boom reach dangerous proportions
The Open Market Committee as now
constituted has no authority to order
purchases and sales of Government
securities.
