REFUTEs IDEA THAT FEW MEN CONTROL WEALTH OF COUNTRY

It has repeatedly been stated that the finances of the United States lie solely in the hands Of a few men who either own or practically uon- trol the wealth of the country.
 In refuting this belief, the presi- dent of Columbia University, New York City, calls attention to the fact that IA million families in the United States own their own homes; Is million persons own corporate securities; 10 million are members of building and loan associations with assets of s billion dollars; 45 million persons have savings ac- counts which total 25 billion dollars and 115 million life insurance poli~ cies bearing a face value of over lG0 billion dollars are in force today.
 In what other country can the general public boast of comparable ownership of wealth?

MOUNT PAvIOF DEMONSTRATES
 ACTIVITY BY REGENT ERUPTION

Mount Pavlof. one of Alaska highest volcanoes. on July 25 strik- ingly demonstrated that il is stll active by showering the land and sea for distance of 50 miles around with a thin layer of ash. This noun tain. only 2 miles from the Pacific Ocean. rises to an altitude of S,900 feet, more than twice the height of its famous cousin Nesuvins. on the other side of the world, which is about 4,300 feet high. Pavlof stands near the southwest end of the Alas ka Peninsula. not far from the cen ter of the great are of volcanic noun tains that stretches from Cook Inlet to the tip of the Aleutian chain of islands. Hundreds of miles of this stretch have never been mapped in detail but a topographic map of the .Pavlof district. covering the Alaska Peninsula from Port Moller to Deer Passage and the adjacent islands on the south, can be purchased from the Geological Survey.

It was prepared by the Goelog- ical Survey in cooperation with the National Geographic Society and has just been ,.,issued. incorporating d0- ditional information.

 This area is one of striking con trasts and stern scenic beauty The imposing mountain mass of winch the active Pavlof Volcano is part contains also a northern cone called Pavlof Sister and the Aghileen Pin nacles. which dominate the scores of lesser but lofty peaks Glaciers extend down the slopes of Mount Pavlof their accumulated winter snow intermixed with volcanic ash. The mountain slopes are deeply cut by short rapid streams. The adja- cent lowlands are dotted with lakes. Mount Dana. east of Paylof Bay. shelters a crater lake more than g. GOO feet above sea level.
 The Pa9lof district is sparsely populated. put the deep harbors 'hat indent the Alaska Peninsula both from the Pacific Ocean side and from Boring Sea are frequented each year by the boats of fishermen and the yachts of hunters of big game. Caribou. bear. and fox are the most abundant game animals. Cod and salmon are taken by the fishing boats. and there are several large salmon canneries. Some coal has been mined in the eastern part of the area, and gold has been received in small amounts from both lodes and placers.
 The settlements of Belkofski, King Cove. and Unga are ports of call for steamers operating from Seward, and the district can be reached by air plane in a few hours from towns along the Alaska Railroad.

COOPERATION OF TRAPPERS
 NEEDED

Bona fide trappers of Wrangeu district should be giving more at tention to the preliminary survey for registration of traplines which the Alaska Game Commission is max ing in the interests of the proposad change.
 For several years past there has been much discussion among trap pers, the argument usually faYoring registration of traplines, although recently some dissenting voices are heard. The preliminary registration is undertaken to determine whether or not registered lines can be sue cessfully and fairly established.
 To facilitate and hasten this work District Warden Hosea R. Sarber has requested that bona Iide trap pers contact him in the field when ever the opportunity is presented. The maps are too large to bring up town when he is in port here, so trappers should go to the Auklet, whenever 1t is in port. h view Of the discussion and importance of this work, it seems strange that so many trappers are too indifferent to extend cooperation iu the survey.
 This preliminary registration does not give any one privileges other than they now have, and il does not give them any prior trapping rights 10 any section.
 WTangell trappers should certain ly see Warden Sarber al once in this connection.

LARGEST AMERICAN WILD
 FOWL MAY YET SURVIVE

Trumpeter swans largest North American wild fowl. once considered on the road to extinction, may yet be perpetuated. says the Bureau Of Biological Survey. D. S. Department of Agriculture
 This summers census revealed at least 15S birds in the United States.
 Ninety of the birds were couLled on or near the Red Rocks Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. administered by the Biological Survey in southeast ern Montana The other 68 were seen by naturalists of the Department of the Interior during a simultaneous census in and about Yellowstone National Park.
 Great hope is seen in the fact that the count this year included 77 cys- nets, or young swans. as compared with only II last yaar.
 Apparently. says the Biological Surye. most of the birds that are not breeding remain on lakes in Tel lowstone Park in summer, while the majrity of the breeding birds Use the Red Rocks Migratory Waterfowl Refuge. These two nearby areas on which the birds are protected aud between which they may migrate give hope that the threatened ex- termination of the trumpeter swan may yet be averted. They are found nesting in no other region in this country.
 Refuge Primarily For Swans
 Although more than 200 species of birds use the Red Rocks Refuge, in- cluding many nesting ducks, the Biological Survey considers the area of particular importance because of it's value to these swans. Develop ments for the benefit of these birds have been made since the establish ment of the refuge by Executive or der on April 23, 1885, although the area was chosen partly because of it's natural fitness.
 A small dam holds water at fair ly constant level. Twenty-four arti- ficial nesting islands have been aon- structed and anchored in place, and the Survey is also improving yegeta- tion by eliminating grazing and is carrying on erosion control actiyi- ties.
 Refuge officials guard the swans nesting areas with special care.
 From the time the ice leaves the lakes until the first of August when the young birds are fairly grown, ' says A. V. Hull, refuge manager 'l do not permit anyone to venture on the lakes where the swans nest. I dc not go on the nesting grounds at all myself for fear that the sun rays may injure the embryo within the eggs. also for fear that an overcast sky or storm may chill the eggs ge- fore the adult swan returns to ths nest"
 MT. Hull attributes this years in crease of young birds ito the fact that we have been able to administer the area to the best interest of the swan. There has been no disturbance whatsoever on the nesting grounds while in past yeRrs livestock aud l persons have disturbed the birds 2 great deal.
