CANNED SHRIMP
WILL Get AIR

AUX Lake trout are going to have
their shrimp cocktails or the Forest
Service will know the reason why.
The latest shipment OF shrlmps
the Forest Service got here recently,
suffocated, it is believed, but this
time they will get plenty OF air, &C
cording to Assistant Regional For
ester Wellman Holbrook.
Manager W. A. Chipperfield is in
Seattle now arranging for another
ten gallon can of the dainty trout
morsels that go by the name OF
freshwater shrimp. When he re-
ceives them from the Snoqualmie
National Forest, the shrimp will
not ride to Juneau in the hold, but
will go on deck.
Chipperfield will get aboard the
Yukon with ten gallons of shrimp
and one bicycle pump-the pump
for a three-times- daily aeration OF
the milk can In which the shrimp
will ride.
That, believes Holbrook, will keep
the shrimp in good spirits until they
can paddle around in AUX Lake and
raise families for the trout to feed
upon so the trout will not have to
feed on each other.

SILVER WAVE
ARRIVES FOR
SHUTTLE RUN
Will Leave for Skagwa
and Haines Early
in Morning

The new shuttle boat, the Silver
Wave, Capt. M. B. Dahl and Pur-
ser Charles West, that will handle
freight and passengers for the Al
aska Steamship Company between
Juneau and Lynn Canal ports, ar
rived in Juneau at 3 o'clock this
morning from Seattle via Chichagof.
The new service will eliminate the
necessity of the Alaska and the
Yukon stopping at Haines and Skag-
way during the winter months with
the Silver Wave meeting northbound
and southbound Alaska Line steam
ers at Juneau for mail and passen-
ger transfers.
Tomorrow morning the Silver
Wave will leave for Lynn Canal for
passengers and mail, and will con-
tact the Alaska here Tuesday when
that steamer arrives from the west
ward.
On it's northbound trip from Sc
attic, the Silver Wave took So tons
of coal and IL tons of power to
Chichagof. The craft, built in 1925,
in Seattle, belongs to Capt Dahl of
this city, who purchased it last
June from the Northwestern Live
stock Corporation of Nome. 1t
carries a crew of six.

lis not a financial statement, but is
indicative of the principle on which
the committee is basing its plans
Supplementing Mrs. Jenne's state
ment, announcement is made that
present tentative plans call for
building the center in the South
east Alaska Fair building, where a
swimming pool, basketball court,
rifle range, skating rink and other
facilities will be installed.
Memberships are $12 per year,
and may be paid monthly or annu-
ally. The committee is at present
awaiting receipt of the subscription
blanks (printed on page 81. These
blanks will indicate the amount of
money which may be counted up
on in planning the center. No funds
will be called for until definite
working plans for the project are
completed.

The increase in the price of gold,
the widespread introduction of i'm

operations and the rapid extension
of dependable airplane service are
the principal factors responsible for
the recent marked growth of the

lions on the Tuluksak River, and
recent drilling operations in other
parts of the region, whereby extern
sive deposits of gold-bearing grav-
els suitable for dredging have al
ready been proven, give assurance
that the Lower Kuskokwim region
is likely to become one of the most
important dredging fields of the
Territory.
The region enjoys many features
that are unusually favorable for
large-scale mechanical operations.
The principal areas are open to
either saltwater or river transpor-
tation. From these approaches ma
chinery and supplies may quite
readily be moved by means of trac-
tors over tundra and gravel ridges,
during either the summer or the
winter season, without the necessi-
ty of road building. The climate is
relatively mild and permits longer
working season than is possible in
other sections of the Territory Wa
ter is abundant and several favor
able water power sites were observed.
The deposits are virgin and have
not been worked over previously by
cruder methods. Airplane transpor-
tation to the several supply centers
of the region is available at either
Anchorage or Fairbanks. During the
past season several tons of fresh
vegetables were shipped by airplane
from Matanuska Valley to Good
news Bay.
Slug River Area
At the time of visit some pros
pecting had been done and several
hundred claims had been staked in
the Slug River area, which occupies
much of the peninsula lying be-
! tween Chagvan Bay and Hagemei-
ster Strait. Some gold had beer
found at four or five localities in
this area in deposits of two diff
/ ferent types: Concentrations Of
gold bearing black sands, found al
two places on the ocean beaches be-
tween Cape PIERCE and point OPP
posite Hagemeister Island; and golc
! prospects" found on the surface
and at shallow depths along small
streams that traverse the uplands
which consist largely of outwasf
plain gravels. Evidences of glacia-
ton are present. Bedrock had not
been reached at any point in the
area. The ground is wet and diff
/ cult to penetrate with shafts, ane
pay that had been found was il
all cases observed confined to the
upper S feet of the gravels. A drill
has since been moved to the Slug
River area and is now in opera lion

SKINNY BREAD
HERE TO STAY
(ny Assoeiated Pressl

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May A.
Stubby and plump loaves would
increase bread consumption, but
the new "streamlined" bread loaf
is here to stay-at least in Wyom-
ing.
That was the decision of Wyo-
ming bakers who met here and de-
cided there is too much public
sentiment for long, skinny loaves
of bread to eliminate them.
"The excessive baking of stub
by, plump loaves of bread, the old
fashioned design, would increase
bread consumption because when
a man sits down to a meal he will
eat so many slices of bread, re-
gardless of the width and breadth
of the SLICE" one baker explain
ed.
"But there is more bread in one
slice from the stubby, plump loaf,
compared with a slice from the
flongboy' or streamlined loaf"

|TRUMBO ISLAND
WILL BE SOLD,
TT Is SHOWN
ACCORDING TO INFoRMATIoN
FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES,
100000 IS PRICE THAT IS
ASKED

The Citizen learned today on
the best OF authority that negotia-
tions are under way for the pur-
chase of the holdings of the Flor
ida East Coast Railway company
on Trumbo Island, but the name
of the proposed buyers was not
announced.
For some time past it has been
said that persons were discussing
the proposition of acquiring the
property and the names of several
concerns and individuals had been
mentioned hut none OF the infor-
nation was authoritative.
However, several Key Westers
who were interested in some of
the buildings wrote the legal de-
partment of the road asking what
steps should be taken to acquire
certain of the buildings on the is
land in the event they were to be
disposed of.
In reply answers were received
advising that negotiations were
under way for the sale of the is
land and all the property thereto,
but nothing was to be announced
until the deal was closed, which il
was said would be within so OF go
days, as the intention was to sell
the entire island and buildings t.
the purchaser and he would be the
person to contact when the deal
was declared consummated.
1t is understood from a number
OF sources that the proposed price
to be paid for the holdings is
100000.
