DOUGLAS NEWS
REP. GREEN GUEST OF
 DOUGLAS CHAMBER; TALKS
 ON HARBOR AND SCHOOLS

Joe Green, territorial represen- tative from Hyder, who was guest of the Douglas Chamber of Con- merce at the regular meeting last night, spoke on the problems of im- portance to the community at the present time. The loss of the harbor here due to the gradual filling in of beach tailings during the past 9 years and the efforts of the Cham Der to have the harbor restored was one of the topics discussed by MT. Green in his talk. Averring that a good harbor for small boats was plainly needed, he commended the Chambers efforts in the cause. Re- garding the school situation here he said it would be a shame to lose the high school after having had one for so many years.
 The committee on entertainment for convention visitors, when the Republican delegates gather here in April, reported progress. Final plans for the banquet and dance, the committee reported, await the return of E. E. Engstrom, president of the Young Republican Club, which will handle those events.
 One communication from a man in Duluth, Minn,, read by Secretary Kilburn, evoked interest. The writer, a textile engineer, looking for new projects to crack" as he put it, de- sires information regarding oppor- tunities in this section.

CHARLIE CHAN
 NEVER IN CHINA
 PLANNING VISIT
Warner Gland, a Swede, Taking Trip to Orient
 with His, Wife

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 19.- The eminent Chinese detective Char lie Chan, in the person of Warner Gland, a Swede, has set out to see China for the first time
 As Chan, in pictures, Gland has been to Shanghai. For that matter he has well nigh covered the earth on film. Any countries or capitals he has not so visited will be accounted for in the future, for the Chan Film series shown no signs of losing pop ularity Charlie Chan on Mars is not such a remote possibility as it may seem now
 Before he sailed with Mrs. Oland for the Orient, the Swedish actor threw some additional light on the precise relationship between Warner Oland, the Scandinavian. and Char lie Chan, the Oriental.
 Asked how he can appear convinc- ingly Chinese on the screen without the aid of makeup he said:
 Tt may sound ridiculous, but I've decided it may be because I've played the part so often. I have noticed that Chinese and Japanese children rear ed in this country lose much Of their Oriental appearance. So it is possi- ble the thing works the other way, too.
 No Chinese Blood
 T discredit," he chuckled, the guess Bob Wagner once made in his magazine that at some time in cen- turies past some Of my Scandinav- ian ancestors must have sailed too far east But I do not deny that 1 may show, to some extent, Chinese characteristics.
 Well read in many fields, Gland has been spurred by Charlie Chan roles in the last several years to cover considerable ground in Chi nese philosophy Keye Luke, Chan's eldest son in recent films, and Frank Tang, one of the Cnan sons in sev- eral pictures, frequently bring books on the subject to his attention
 Gland has been on stage and screen too long to be suspected of an "act" where his Chan roles are concerned, and he is sincere in his preparations for the role. While a Chan film is in the making, Gland foregoeS social life and even-in the i interest of greater concentration brings lunch from his home and eats in the seclusion of his dressing room.
 l Concentrates On Roles
 Sincerity should not be con- demned," Gland said, and I find actually can almost be Charlie Chan when give myself the chance to concentrate.
 Chan is very real person to his screen creator. Charlie Chan at the 1 Circus" is the eleventh of the series which begar r 1881. Oland and Chan have "hved together" consid- erably.
 Gland sizes up Charlie Chan as an unusually intelligent. under standing person aware of the weak ness of the human race and slow to condemn it, tempering his Orient al outlook with lis acquired Ameri- can viewpoint sincere. courageous and, he adds, quite a family man"

tablishes a record for the King Is- flanders.
 The technique of rigging and ap- pliances included on the boat clearly demonstrates the ability of the na- tive carvers. Both old and new ivory were used in construction of the hull and parts of the equipment. The masts, spars and railings are made from the jawbone of a whale. The rigging is made from sinew and Whalebone, and the sails are made of of oogaruk gut. The pegs with which the ivory is held in place are made from reindeer horns.
 MT Polet stressed the importance of changing the practice of exporting only raw materials from the Terri tory and expressed the opinion that such materials should be manufac- ttred into finished articles in Alas ka before export. As an example, he stated, the owners of the Nome DouglaS reindeer herd, some 300 na- tiyes in the Nome district, have con- missioned him to sell 2,000 raw rein- deer hides for them in the states. These hides will bring a purchase price of only about 75 cents each in the raw state, he said, whereas if they were tanned they would be worth about $10 each, and if made up into clothing-j c k e ts, coats. gloves, ets.-would be worth about $50, the difference between the last figure and the price of the raw hides representing the loss to AL aSka in labor-hire.
 The educational authorities of the Territory are doing a great deal to teach the natives how to make cloth ing from seal skins, reindeer hides,

and furS, MT. Polet said, and the Indian sc hool at Nome includes training of that sort among its regu- lar subjects.
 The Northern Air Transport, of which MT. Polet is secretary of the board, now operates Il planes from Nome to Fairbanks, he said, and there is possibility that within the near future their operation will ex- tend ot Juneau.
 / MT. Polet has been resident of Nome since 1900, and his son, Alvin Polet, now a member of the Nome City CouncH, was the second student from Nome to enter the University of Alaska. His daughter, Mrs. w. A. Boucher of Nome, was the first stu- dent born in Nome to complete a college educa tion. Mrs. Boucher is a graduate of the University of Wash ington.
 Trading Post Chain
 Boris Magids, who travelled from Nome to Juneau by air in company with MT. Taggart and MT. and Mrs. Polet, operates a chain of trading posts in the Kotzebue Sound district, with stores at Deering, his headquar- ters, Shishmarif, Kewallik, Candle. and Kotzebue. He is enroute to the States on a buying expedition and expects to return aboard the Vic toria. MT. Magids is agent for the Standard Oil Company, the Alaska Steamship Company, and operates lighterage business. Two tugs and number of barges are used to re- move freight from steamships to kotzebue Sound ports.
 Every Way But Swimming"
 $. w. Taggart is proprietor of a lumber and building material com- pany in Nome. The present trip is his flfth journey by air between Nome and the States in the past 2 years. T have travelled in and out of the north by every possible means he said, except swimming. I have never done that yet" MT. Taggart left Dawson, after a residence there of , years, in 1902, and left Fairbanks in 1907.
 The four air travellers left Nome on Friday the 18th, and were forced by weather conditions to fly for sev- eral hours at an altitude of l3,OOO feet.
 Pilot Barr, who brought the Nome passengers from Fairbanks to Ju- neau, arrived in Fairbanks several weeks ago to meet Hugh Brewster, ,eeronautics Inspector, for the pur- pose of having his plane, which was brought from Texas last winter, re- 'lcensed. However, MT. Brewster was quarantined in Anchorage during the recent scarlet fever epidemic, and was unable to go to Fairbanks, so temporary relicensing was accom- plished by telegraph.
 Pilot Barr brought the Pilgrim rom the States equipped with wheel landing gear and shipped ski land- ing equipment direct to Whitehorse. He changed from wheels to skis on his way to Fairbanks, and changed hack to wheels at Whitehorse on the journey from Fairbanks to Ju- neau. He landed at the PA airport yesterday on wheels without diff culty.
 Customs Office For AtIin
 It has been reported that a Can edlan Customs Office will be in- stalled in Atlin, B. C., in the near future, Pilot Barr said, and he will probably fly between Juneau and Atlin this summer. He expects to remain here until after the arrival of the Princess Norah.
 MT. and Mrs. Polet, MT. Taggart. and MT. Magids will sail on the Vic toria tomorrow.
