 SANITORIUM
 AT INSTITUTE

In the course of the tuberculosis survey made at Wrangell Institute last spring by pr. Carswell and his assistants in the Territorial Depart ment of Health, the X-ray photo graphs revealed that several of the students should have special care and treatment.
 These students have remained since the closing of the regular session May 24th and are now being kept at the Institute Health Center under the supervision of Miss Agnes Breen. the Institute nurse. There are six boys and three girls, which include all the students who were considered in need of bed treatment. These students have remained voluntarily and are cheerfully cooperating in their new program and ideal sur roundings.
 It is confidently expected that the summers stay at the Institute Health Center will go a long ways to returning them to normal health conditions Dr. Clements is attend ing and advising in the program of treatments.

Hrdlicka Urges Curb
 Liquor For Natives

Development of Alaska by Alas kans and immediate action to curb the distribution of liquor among the native population were sugges- tions made to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce at it's luncheon last week, by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, anthro- pologist of the Smithsonian Insti- tuition, in an interesting address.
 Dr. Hrdlicka, who has been com ing to Alaska in the summers since 1926, said that he noted a failure on the part of nine-tenths of the Al askans to push the Territory on their own, Shipping, fishing, mining he pointed out, are all operated from the Outside, True, he said these concerns leave tax money in the country, but, he asked, isn't il about time Alaskans were looking to the operations of such enterprises themselves?"
 Too many people in Alaska look at the Territory as a place of tenn porary abode, he said; a place to make a stake and get back Outside. It is time for Alaskans to adopt Al- aska as their country and concen- trate in furthering it's interest In- stead of looking to the day they might go back to the States.
 Touching on the liquor question the speaker declared a critical situation nreVails amOng theaEskimos and In- dians in many places throughout the Territory. Alcoholism is becoming acute among themselves, he said and gradually killing them off, If something is not done soon, the scientist stated, there will be none of the original races left. He blamed the white man for the condition and declared it up to the white man to correct it,

New Proposals Made
 International Highway

WASHINGTON, D. c. Lacy Murrow, Washington State Director of Highways, proposes that Canada levy a reasonable sum to finance construction of the Canadian portion of the International Highway to Al aska via the Fraser River Valley.
 Murrow, who is here attending a conference of Bureau of Public Roads officials, said he is convinced that with a reasonable gas tax, the International Highway will pay for itself within seven or eight years. The estimated cost of the 1,I80 miles of road is 100000.
 AS an alternative plan, Murrow proposed that the Department of State suggest to the Canadian Gov ernment it assume the Dominion's share of the road, about $10,00O, ,000 and in return the United States will cancel that much from the British war debt.
 Murrow urges an immediate aerial survey of the Alaskan route which ground parties have already declared feasible. He said the American Gov ernment can well afford to finance the highway, if necessary, in view of the millions of dollars it is spend- ing in construction in the Central Americas in an effort to link the United States and the Panama Can

Dr. Cheifetz Coming
 For Health Program

Word was received this morning that Doctor .Chiefetz, acting direct or for the maternal and child health Territorial department of health, will be in Wrangell next week to give physical examinations and vac climate all pre-school children who are not entering school in the fall. This service will be given without charge on Friday, June II, at the Wrangell health center. Every mother is urged to bring her in- fant and pre-school children in for the examination. This is the age during which care should be taken to prevent defects developing. With the correction of physical defects and faulty habits and the protection of preventative treatments a g n smallpox and diphtheria, the child will be in good physical condition and be better prepared to hold his own with other children.
 It is far easier to keep the human machine running well or to make simple adjustments than 1t is to fix it after it has begun to break down. It is a great mistake to think that the human machine needs nc expert attention in the very early years of life,

JOHN ZION CAR CRASHES ON
 HIGHWAY NEAR LIGHT PLANT

Narrowly escaping death or per manent injury when their speeding car failed to make the turn on the highway near the power plant and plowed head on into large stump on the side of the turn, Lloyd Good rich, driver, and his two compan- ions. Alice and Maggie Eyon, es- vaped with minor cuts and bruises.
 The accident occurred at seven teen minutes to ten on Sunday eve ming The ear, a new 1937 deluxe model Plymouth sedan, owned by John Eyon father of the girls, is all most total wrec. The entire front of the car was smashed and the frame and undercarriage bent badly.
 The occupants were saved by shatter proof glass in the car which is all cracked but which did not splinter. Young Goodrich, driving the car, escaped death when the steering wheel, which is a compos- ition material, bent double instead of breaking off and going through his body.
 Pedestrians along the highway reported the car as travelling at a high rate of speed and weaving from side to side until it finally came to rest against the huge stump. MT. Eyon has telegraphed for new ear and has sold the wrecked machine to Fred Cunningham.

 SUCCESS DECLARES E. A. RASMUSON

will," he continued, it must be charged against the particular indi- Yiduals themselves, or perhaps against those responsible for the failures being allowed to come. Those who have it in them to sue ceed are already making good. The majority have already proven that the soil in the Matanuska Valley is deep and fertile, that when proper ly cultivated it yields an abundant crop of excellent quality. They have found that there is a waiting market for their produce, more especially for poultry, butter and eggs. To aid them in such production the government has provided buildings with warm and cold storage; mas built and equipped a first class creamery and established a model experimental chicken ranch. Each colonist has been provided with horses, COWS, hogs, and chickens in addition to ordinary farming macn- inery Hundreds of miles of roads have been built connecting every farm with community center. At the latter there are all the ordinary proofs of civilization, such as churches, school, hospital, doctor, dentists, stores of every kind and an automobile highway from Matanuska to the town of Anchorage about 45 miles away.

 and by means of it many advantages have been obtained for the Ameri- can shipping enterprises. Besides saving many lives it has been the means of shortening routes avoiding dangers and making travel by water much more efficient and profitable.

The loading Of the wagons was a

With mixed cargo skill was required
to distribute the load equally. Some
classes. of freight had to be separated.
Sugar and kerosene, for instance,
couldn't be packed In the same load.
Other improper combinations, bring
ing the possibility Of something being
spoiled In case Of breakage or leakage,
were numerous. The life Of the freight
er was g. hard one, and in the last
years OF the business, which was about
the beginning Of the present century,
1t had ceased to be profitable.
The haul from Great Falls to Cho-

ard of the Butte Elks lodge, re-
Gently returned from a family re-
union which brought him and his
three older brothers together for
the first time in 81 years.
It was back in his home town of
Menasha, Wis, late last month, that

was boy of nine.
The four Schrage brothers. Frank,
81; George, 70; Edward, IS, and
Charles, 70, held the unique reunion
at Edwards home on the occasion of
Edwards 18th birthday.
Edward is the only one of the four
who remained in MenaSha where all
we're born. The others struck out to
new fields, entered business for them
selves and are now retired.
Business Venture
Frank, the oldest, was the first to
to Chicago in 1876. There he operated
a drug store. He is a past president of
the Veteran Druggists association OF
Chicago.
George went to Chicago 40 years
ago and entered the ice business. For
the past 10 years he has been president
of an ice company there.
Edward stayed in Menasha and
worked in wooden ware plant. Then
he entered the fuel business and later
a wire works plant. He Is a past city

The 7O-year-old baby of the family"
Charley as he is known to his friends,
has claimed Butte as his home for the
past 81 years. He went to Chicago
when he was 10. At the age of 33 he
started west, stopped in Butte, liked
it and settled there. He operated a
saloon there for time but for the
past 10 years has been steward of the
Elks lodge.
Charley, a vigorous man in good
health and with a humorous slant on
things, is an ardent Elk. Last spring
he was honored with the presentation
Of pin for his Is years of member
ship in the Butte lodge.
He confesses that the reunion with
his brothers was an experience of his
lifetime. They have vowed to do it
again in 10 years but Charley hopes
that it will come much sooner.
