Mystery Goats Are Located on Baranof Island

The Baranof Island goat mys- tery has been solved. There are goats on the island, herd of about 40 of them.
 This is the information brought to the Alaska Game Commission by Joe Hill, who made a special trip there to see if he could locate any trace of the herd of 18 which was released on the Island in 1923. He found the animals in the peaks about midway of the Island.
 For years the disappearance of the original herd was a complete mystery. The Island had no goats so in 1923, the Commission took Is mountain goats from the Tracy Arm country and released them on the Island. They vanished into mo- where and it was believed they had died or been destroyed. In 1880 an Indian trapper reported he saw what appeared to him to be one goat Again in 1883 Joe Hill report ed seeing some of the animals. That was the last seen or heard of them until Hill made this trip to try and locate the animals.
 He reported the herd of about 40 looked in good shape and appar- ently had gotten along fine in the 13-year period.

NEED FOR SMALL BOAT HARBOR IS OUTLINED HERE
Col. H. J. Wild Hears Ju- neau Interests Present
 Arguments for F facilities

Facts and figures tending to show the need in Juneau for a small boat harbor were being presented Col. H. J. Wild, Army District Engineer, at a hearing in the Federal District court room this afternoon, with the City, various Federal and Territor- ial agencies and private industry represented.
 In opening the hearing, Col. Wild explained to the men present that whatever the recommendation he may make, the small boat harbor is not a project of the immediate fu- ture. He explained that his recom- mendation goes to the Chief of Army Engineers through the Division En- gineer and then, if the action is fa- vorable, a survey will be ordered to determine costs, location and other matters. This project outline then must go into the Rivers and Harbors bill and get approval of Congress. If it passed, it stands as an approv- V0 pAOiCCJ oQOlCCO pp NO''pOA ONbiOii III line of priority with like projects throughout the United States.
 Will Take Time
 Col. Wild said he made the ex- planation to show that immediate action need not be expected. In fact, he commented If decision was finally reached in a year and half, it would be lucky.
 Mayor I. Goldstein was the first to appear this afternoon. The May- or said it was his belief the small boat harbor should be located inside the Government dock, between the dock and Willoughby Avenue. He said the city stood ready to co-oper- ate, probably taking care of the cost

Plon Nome Building, m Frigid Section, While They
 SlUeIter in TOrrid Weather

WASHINGTON, July 10. - While the Capit al's mercury lowered around 100 degrees. the Government tackled the problem of construct ing the northernmost Federal Build ing, on ground that for most of the time is frozen, at Nome Alaska. Bids are to be opened this month.
 The present status of the building is handsome drawing of an H. shaped structure draped in lcicles surrounded by snow
 Officials of the Procurement .Di7 vision and Treasury Department admit that it is no easy task to con- centrate on frigid problems of the north while the hottest weather in six years torments the National Capital
 Planners have determined the ground is too frozen for a concrete foundation and have practically de- cided the foundation will be of huge wooden piles placed in holes dug out by steam and left alone they'll freeze into earth more firmly than if cemented.
 The roof will be designed so the snow will crumble or blow off and not bank.
 The building will contain every thing from radio station on the top floor, to quarters for u Rein deer Service on the first floor.
 One room in the building will hold mail to lay over for the winter awaiting delivery in the spring.
 There will be space on the roof for the Weather Bureau and quarters in the basement for the jail
 A court room, Judicial chambers, large post office, Marshal's office, space for the HOLC and a minia- ture asylum make up the re- t of the space in the building to be arranged and provided.

New FiIibuSter Tactics Worry
 Party Leaders
By PRESTON GLOVER

WASHINGTON, July 10. = The filibuster by which Senators Black and Clark set out in the last days of Congress to force the House to en- act ship subsidy legislation has dis turbed members with a liking for orderly Congressional procedure.
 The two, both foes of all such sub sidies, wanted to see enactment of a compromise direct subsidy bill which they considered less objectionable than the indirect subsidy act under which the merchant marine was given boost through fattened mail contracts.
 After the measure passed the Sen ate late in the session, the two Sen- ators announced an intention to fil- ibuster in the Senate against the Treasury -Postoffice bill until the House had completed action on the subsidy bill.
 The Treasury Postoffice bill con- tained funds for the ocean mail. Black and Clark contended that if it should be passed by the Senate, the House would do nothing further about the subsidy legislation. TROUBLE SEEN

STEELE, RISK0 FIGHT TONIGHT
 IN 15 FOUNDER
Worlds Championship Me lee Is to Be Staged
 in Seattle

Freddie Steele gets a chance to- night that comes to few young box CTS, a crack at the championship in his own home town, before a friendly crowd that will be cheering for Steele victory.
 Tonight Steele is scheduled to climb into a ring pitched over the pitchers box at the Civic Stadium in Seattle to battle fifteen rounds with Champion Eddie (Babe) Ris- ko, with the latter's title at stake.
 Title Bout
 Dick Sharp, writing in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of last Monday morning has the following to say:
 Nate Druxman will stage his worlds championship melee between Babe Risko and Freddie Steele at the Civic Field Friday night in big league style all the way down the line.
 Following the custom set in New York by Tex Rickard and followed through since then. Druxman an- nounced the fifteen-round title match between Steele and Risko would start at 10 o'clock Friday night. going on ahead of the semi final between Cecil Payne and Gene Mantell
 The general idea is to get the main event started in time so that the fans who want to, or have to get home at reasonable time. can do so. It also enables the pro- moter to handle huge crowds in better manner so they won't all break out of the park at once. Many will choose to leave right after the big shot. Other dyed-in-the-wool

Our Forecast

On October 28th - almost one week before last
Tuesdays election = The Nogales International
chalked up its bulletin boards what it said was its
final forecast on the presidential race.
That forecast gave Roosevelt Al states, LandOn
8, and Delaware, Ohio Michigan and New Jersey
were placed in the doubtful column. The states that
we gave Landon were Maine Vermont and New
Hampshire, having total electoral vote of II.
We didn't miss it very far. Landon carried only
two states - Maine and Vermont - with total cleo
toral vote of g. Roosevelt took all the rest with
combined electoral vote of 523.
Some folks have asked us how arrived at our
forecast 1t was simply guess largely based on in
formation obtained from several nationwide polls and
data appearing in News-Week weekly magazine
Furthermore, on trip through the East and
North enroute to and from the Democratic national
convention at Philadelphia the past summer we made
it point to contact persons in every walk of life and
nine out of ten of those for Roosevelt That too,
helped us in making our forecast

Choosing A Vocation

Selecting vocation or occupation today is rath-
serious matter than in years gone by, owing
to the rapid changes in methods of manufacture and
in the products demanded by the public
In hardly any line of manufacture does one know
how some new method or process may render
all his present skill useless means of gaining
livelihood Highly skilled hand craftsmen in many
lines are continually being replaced by machinery,
while products which were formerly in great demand
rapidly becoming obsolete such as the buggy and
ether horse drawn vehicles.
Speaking from the manufacturers standpoint E.
w. Mccullough of the United States Chamber of Com
merce recently said "1 could enumerate hundred
lines of business this evolution has wiped out and
lines without number have changed in Materials con-
structon and FORM"
These changes have affected the individual work
men, as we'll as their employers and were
changes made so rapidly as at present Those who en-
adapt themselves to new conditions as they arise.
A Kansas City prophet predicted that the world
would come to an end in October and some cynics will
think it unfortunate that he was wrong.
