ANDERSON, roo LONG A DOGS
 FRIEND, RESIGNS AS CATCHER

Standing on the steps of the city hall a few minutes before entering the city clerks office to hand in his resignation, Joe Anderson, for one week dog catcher of Juneau, smiled a little ruefully as he explained that it wasn't a very profitable business, reports the Alaska Press
 "No," he said, T just couldn't keep it up. I've loved dogs all my life, always had them with me. and didn't have the heart to turn against them now, even though it meant my bread and butter.
 Last night when l brought my third dog home with me, instead of taking him to the pound, the wife and l decided it was just too much. He is a grand dog. a big, husky mal- amute, and l could never have ta- ken him to the pound. But his H- cense cost me $2 and food is SO high"
 Anderson came to the North from Belgium, B years ago and remem- bers the dogs who pulled his plow on the farm back home. Working and playing with them for years. he has learned what he terms the way to meet a dog, friend to friend" and this method of contact came in handy during his last weeks ven ture as dog catcher here.
 Why, I'd walk up to a dog easy as nothing and he'd come to me. let me put my loop on him and take him away. Dogs who would bite strangers and who were said to be dangerous, would be as friendly like. It got so I'd hate to see them, and yet I knew Juneau would be better off, rid of some of the extra ones"
 Anderson caught Patsy Ann, vet eran ship greeter, a few days ago. but was glad to find her properly licensed and so let her go. He has two black cocker spaniels at the pound which he has been hoping someone would claim soon, and had a couple of other just dogs" which he does not like to remember.
 Tt isn't always the dogs fault Anderson added, that we find them to be always in our way and a bother. It's mostly the fault of kids who own them, and who have taught them to chase sticks around at will. If people would take more care and watch their dogs a little, we would mt need a dog catcher here "
 Anyway he stated, slowly, T guess someone else, not so much of a dogs friend, would do the job a little better"

Cake Bids High

Baking a cake whicn sold for $25 was the introduction to Alaskan manners and customs for Miss Aud rey Munson, school teacher from Cedar Rapids la, who recently ar rived at Bethel, her teaching post for the winter Miss Munson was among the passengers on the Tup- per as the boat made it's last trip into Bethel before the freeze-up. It seems a piano was needed for the new territorial schoolhouse at Bethel and the residents decided to hold pie and cake auction. Every girl brought a pie or cake to be auction ed and the bidding was spirited. The bidding went sky-high, how ever, on the last cake, which finally sold for $25, more than twice the amount paid that evening for any other and more than a similar sale had ever brought in Bethel.

Gubser is expected to return to Juneau in time to report to the Territorial Legislature. but Collins, who is regularly stationed at Marshall for the Game Commits sion, is going on by dog team to Point Barrow and then will spend the entire winter travelling along the Arctic Coast as far east as De- Point making a first hand study of conditions in the frozen country. The Warden will use dog team exclusively and probably will not 'be heard from after he leaves Barrow until next spring.

Old Worry

As far back as 1889, when Alaska was new and the business of can ming the salmon caught in the Ter ritory was just attaining some pro portions, the government vas grieN- ously worried over the matter of source of supply. Pete Dyhwad told the Seattle Times He recently dug up a report, made by Fish Commis- sioner Marshall Mcdonald, who was appointed to his office in lSS8. In this report Mcdonald made the ser ious suggestion: Although of only seven years existence, the salmon canning industry of Alaska has be- come more important than that of any other region. The increase in growth during the past few years has been phenomenal, especially in 1889, when the pack of 675.0O0 cases represented an increase or IT. OO0 eases over the previous year. How long the supply of salmon can keep up under this enormous drain cannot be predicted, but it would seem that in any event Alaska is 10 be the great salmon region of fhe future.' Since that time, there have been packed in Alaska 163, 3,000,0Oo cases of salmon. In the years since 193O the annual pack of the Terri tory has been around 6.000,O0U cases. And there still are plenty of fish.

Boy Scout Saves Life

Boy Scout training came to the service of Douglas Wahto and Pete Guerrero of Douglas and probably saved the life of young Wahto The two boys were blazing a trail near Nevada Creek and Douglas was up in a tree cutting a blaze with his knife when he slipped and fell to the ground, the knife slashing his arm badly. Blood gushed from the wound, but, not forgetting their Scout training, they fixed a tourni- quet to stop the flow of blood and returning to the beach, young Guer- rero rowed across the channel to Thane and from there the boys went into Juneau by taxicab, where a doctor dressed the wound.

THANKSGIVING

We think the month Is bleak and drear, When chilly winds are blowing And the ground is frozen hard And everywhere it's showing, But when the good old sun peeps through, From up behind the clouds, We feel sorta cheerful AS we pass among the crowds To do our bit of shopping For Thanksgiving Day. Iris then we stop and think That for something we should pray Things could be much worse Than they really are. If we have our health, There's nothing that can mar, The thoughts that we are lucky. Though wealth we do not know, Though we meet misfortunes, As on through life we go, But still we can be thankful, For health means everything. So let's send up prayer That Thanksgiving may bring To some one who's less fortunate Than we are just now. And for what little that we have Make a Eolemn bow Thank God for our blessings Though they may be few And though chilly winds may be blowing The sun will soon peep through.
