 Sunny Jim left Nome again by dog team early this morning with out communicating to the acthorit- ies here but interested parties pre- sented meagre details to the U. s. Commissioner. who is furnishing Mrs. Edna Christofferson with a copy of the law in connection with this affair so that she may take it up with the postmaster at Pilgrim Springs, who will have jurisdiction. The opinion was, that he is either dead or is in some cabin which has not yet been located. The law, ap- parently does not allow search for dead persons, under territorial funds.
 Mrs. Christoi1erson is leaving for Shelton soon and will interest sev- eral people in that section to make another search for John Land. Sun ny Jim stated he also would make a careful search and see if some sign of Land could be found.

John Land Is
 Reported Missing
 kougarok Section

Sunny Jim. a native, who arrived in Nome last night from the Kou- garok brought with him a story of the disappearance of John Land, former tailor in Nome, who has been in the Kougarok since last summer prospecting on Dahl Creek
 He stated that John Land had prospected up until January and had then ceased operations on account of the snow. Lands cabin is on Dahl Creek, and according to the story told, Peter Lee who lives near him went to call on him March 27th but John was not at home. He call ed several days later and he was still not at home, and no indications that he had been there since Lee had been to visit him the first time.
 This was strange in view of the feet that John Land had always left a note in his cabin telling where he was going, any time he left the cabin.
 On Lees second trip to the cabin he noticed tracks leading in the direction of Shelton but no other signs. Isadore Fix was informed and he started out from Shelton to look for Land but could find no trace of him. Teddy JohanSon, an- other miner in the section also start ed looking for him but with the

Washington, D. C.
 Ratios afford concrete catchWords by which intricate matters may be described and kept in the public mind. Sixteen to one sums up the old silver question in few words. Everyone recalls the hot talk that was passed back and forth about .32 beer. The chief business of Con gress at this stage of the session is deciding what action should be talk en respecting the 48 billion relief measure Some heavy guns have been trained upon it and the shots have been aimed with accuracy and landed with effect in some instan- ces. At the date of the present writing, no appreciable breach has been made in the walls Passage of the bill has been promised from day to day but has not occurred, yet it seems likely that before these words are in print, the 4.8 legislation will be on its way to the White House Approximately five billion dollars is vast sum. If our troubles really are due to lack of money properly distributed, here is a chance to go long way toward putting an end to a prevailing woe. If the expen- allure is unWiSe, existing and future administrations will have something to occupy their minds and keep their hands busy Opinions are widely divergent, but they are opin- ions only. Time alone can appraise the value of what Congress is sure to do shortly, one way or the other, regarding continuing relief and en- larging the law of the land along that line.

there are about nine different
cartoons, including Mickey

Eye the Sailor" Oswald the Rab-
bit, "Bosko," "Krazy Kat" "Mer-
RE Melodies" Flip the Frog"
and Terry Tunes"
AS the production method on

take a peek at the Walt Disney
studio. home of Mickey Mouse"
and the Silly Symphonies" and
see what happens.
The pictures are about $50 feet
in length And. although Mr.. Dis
ney makes only 19 of them each
year. he employs a staff of 300
persons.
THE first step comedies with
l. that Of feature picture. A
story must be written. Then it
is put into regular scenario form,
with every detail of the action
explained.
Different scenes are then hand
ed TO the animators for drawing.
They sketch the key drawings,
usually every third one. leaving
the others for their assistants.
All drawings then are sent to
the linking department, where a
corps of artists goes over the
penciled sketches with ink. Trac-
ing is the next step. Every draw
ing must be traced in ink on a
sheet of celluloid. Then it is
painted.
The next job is to match the
various sets of drawings which be-
long together. AS a rule, four
sheets of celluloid are combined to
make one complete picture for
photographing. For instance, if
Mickey, Pluto, and Donald Duck
are walking along a dusty road,
one artist draws Mickey. another
Pluto, a third Donald Duck, and
a fourth the background.
After being traced, they are as
sembled and photographed. Six
teen of these composite pictures
are needed to make one foot of
film.
THERE'S virtually no cutting
l. or editing on a cartoon after
it's finished. Since the work is
slow and painstaking, that is all
done beforehand.
