Eskimo Goes Modern
Boston Transcript

Boston Transcript
Increased knowledge of the far places OF the eartl
and the people who live in them does not always
add to the zest life those who love its strange
Accomplishments. Here comes Noel Weln, an Alaska
airman with the statement that the Eskimo prefers
hut of wood to a tent in which to live and lacking
the hut lives in the tent in preference to the house
of snow that has figured the pictures in many
school geography. There was fascination for the
curious in tales of the building of the igloo and the
manner Of living behind its walls Of snow But it
appears that in these later days the tashioning OF
blocks of snow into habiation may in time become
lost art
After the revelation it would not be surprising to
be told that the Eskimo union suit under his
winter furs. and varies his winter diet with all 81
varieties Of canned vegetables He may even abandon
the kayak for the motor boat 1t is conceivable that
la village of huts and tents will have its motion pic
ture machine and the Eskimos will share with the
rest of the world the merrment caused by the antics
Of Mickey Mouse But it is doubtful if the children
of the Arctic will interest the rest OF the world as
much they did when they were pictured warm and
cozy in their houses while the winds howled
outside and the borealis lighted the path to
the door

Horoscope
''The stars incline
but do not compel
THURSDAY, APRIL 90, 1886.

According to aStrology, this is
an unimportant day in pranetary
direction, favoring routine matters
and established policies.
In the early morning plans long
studied may be put into operation
successfully 1t is an suspicious
time to start projects of national
Importance.
Again the stars appear to fore
shadow for judges and lawyers much
prominence in public issues. Sud-
den changes in the personnel of the
highest courts are forecast.
Women should subordinate their
plans to expediency while this con-
figuration prevails. The seers de-
clare that in the rising prejudices
against them in the business and
political words they must become
their own champions and must Or
ganize wisely for economic indie
pendence.
Tears as well as smiles belong to
the bride of today, but the girl who
is wise will become the guide of the
household after renouncing selfish
ambitions.
This should be fairly lucky day
for newspaper writer's and others
seeking interviews with persons who
WELD power over human destinies
Contemporary history is to embody
sensational pages in this year of
1896.
The planetary government en-
courages educational projects. Uni
versities will profit through scien-
tific discoveries and there will be
renewed respect for the classics. {
Japan again will surprise the
world by military exploit that may
be of serious effect before the end
OF the summer. The Philippines
are to focus attention because of
novel experiments
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of advance
ment in financial ambitions. Jour-
neys are indicated for many Ell
ders may be inclined to obstruct the
plans of the young.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be serious in their ambi-
tons, but brilliant and witty. Sub
jects of this sign of Taurus are de-
termined and even obstinate, but
they succeed in obtaining what
they want.
Chauncey M. Depew, statesman
and railroad president, was born
on this day 1884. Others who have
celebrated it as birthday include
Stephen A. Douglas, American
statesman 1913; Thomas Nelson
Page, author and diplomat, 1852; Ed
win Markham, poet, 1852.

VALUE OF THE CCC

The third birthday of Civilian Conservation Corps,
April s. was marked by report showing the work ac-
complished by the 100000 persons it has employed
Outstanding features were the planting of $751;
100000 trees 19635Oo soil erosion dams built $4,000
miles of roads and trails cut through forests Explain
ing that CCC concentrated on improving and preserv-
ing the nations forests the report speaks volumes
foreers conseraonists and to millions of citizens
interested in preserving expanding and developing the
timbered areas that still remain in this country de-
spite the wasteful and exravagant misuse of for
est resources in the past.
Up to March the cost was 81 2O4 56OOOO including
1913 1926 900 for purchase of forest lands OF $685.
$4,000 paid members $500 100000 was sent home
their needy families In addition S615 10000 spent
for materials and equipment, including s63583OOO for
shelter s14979OOO for food and S14o965O 600 for cloth
ing. The average CCC recruit was enrolled for eight
months.
OF the last $4,000 enlstments 1928 were II
years of age 94,492 10 years and 5O978 10
years. These figures sharp contrast to those of
former years, when the average age ranged from %
years up 80 show that graduates being absorbed
into private employment Recent statistics revealed
that the training the government has given CCC men,
bers enabled them to find jobs at the rate Of 10000
month and even more
That is the national picture Here in Alaska we
have seen what the CCC has been and is doing
An outline of the work the Juneau vicinity was given
in Mondays Empire. Nearly every here is familiar
with the road improvements the various buildings at
beach resorts, the rifle range and other sundry i'm
provemens that the CCC under the supervision of the
U. S. Forest Service has given the public.
But aside from the material improvements there
is the human element. Young men, and older ones
too for that matter in Alaska have been provided with
healthful work when jobs were not available. They
have been well fed clothed and given in many nstanc-
es, new lease on life
OF all the emergency measures put into effect in
an effort to rehabiate the depression people

THE NAVAL TREATY OF 1886

To the average person the recent London Navs
Treaty just another of those conferences whc
didn't accomplish very much But this countrys dele
CATION did bring back treaty with an if' claus
which may prove very satisfactory Norman H Davi
Chairman of the United States delegation, declared
to be more than anticipated and in these few word
clarified the results of the conference which lasted TO
weeks
or course we were in favor OF the ratios and
still think it would have been wise to have them
for general all round reduction in tonnage.
In fact we said if we couldn't get this we'd
favor renewing the treaties as they were or
maintaining the same relative ratios.
But you must remember that when we left
we never before went abroad with such trep-
dation and less enthusiasm. Now we've done
better than we expected and we actually got
more than hoped for True, we didn't get
all we wanted but we brought back the treaty.
Yes it was a conditional concession on the
part of the United States. conditional to the
extent that we agreed not to build more I'M
less some else does
What more can we ask for? We can still built al
the navy we want for adequate national defense and
the other lions start building big ships then W.
can too 1t strikes that Mr.. Davis and his delega
ton turned be better diplomats than his modes
implies.

Shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
, ing the gas boat Lue, formerly the
property of Capt. J. o. Plunkett,
left the Juneau dock with Diver
c. F. Stagger aboard with his as
sistant and equipment for the upper
reaches of Gastineau Channel to
locate the body of william Christie,
which is thought to be lying in a
deep pool near the shore of Doug
las Island about one mile and a
half from Juneau.
The spot where the diver is to
work has been described by several
witnesses at the trial of Krause,
charged with kidnapping Christie, as
the place where Krause's boat was
anchored during the late after
noon and night of october 80, 1915,
which is the date of the disappear
ance of Christie.
The Government is continuing to
introduce witnesses.
The Republican Territorial Central
Committee was organized at Seward
