Slightly Chilly

A maximum record for the winter in the interior was established when Coal Creek, tributary to the Yukon river, reported on the morn ing of Dec. 23 a temperature of T degrees below zero. This approaches the official minimum of 76 below, established at Tanana in 1886. The lowest reading ever taken on Weath- CT Bureau thermometer was S3 be- low at Fort Yukon three winters ago. That temperature does not appear in the Weather Bureau records, how ever, as the station was not approv- ed at the time.

MINK CATCH GOOD THROUGH
 LOWER YUKON, KUsKOKWIN

On the lower KuskOkWim and 1u- kon Rivers the fur catch with res pect to mink has been very good to date this winter, said Charles Gold stein, head of the Juneau fur house bearing his name. on his return to Fairbanks after a fur-buying trip to the lower country.
 "The mink take". he explained. has been excellent both as regards quality and quantity. Red Foxes are coming in very slowly and the qual- ity is nothing extra. White foxes are also poor up to this time. On the lower sections of the Yukon and kuskowim cold weather has made the marten catch light. Trappers there, however, hope for better luck soon. Prevailing prices for mink and marten are most encouraging for both the trapper and the trader"
 Mr. Goldstein brought to Fair banks as the harvest of his trip a plane load of furs. Of furs in that immediate district the veteran fur dealer said. What fur there is around Fairbanks is of good quality bet the catch has been light"
 Must War on Wolves
 On his present trip MT. Goldstein has become more convinced than ev- CT that something must be done to halt the ever-increasing depreda- uons of wolves.
 They are raising havoc" he as serted, with caribou and reindeer and small fur-bering animals all over the country The situation is nothing less than critical The bounty system as we now have it is simply not having the results hoped for. Wolves are increasing at a rate tremendously faster than they are being caught
 As a matter of plain business judgment steps will have to be talk en to control their numbers because if they continue as they have in re- cent years the inevitable result will be a constantly lighter fur catch, to saynothing of losses to reindeer and caribou herds.n

Electric Eye

To protect aYiators landing on or taking off from the Anchorage field in darkness red lights have been placed on the masts of the Signal Corps station at Whitney, several miles from Anchorage. The lights are operated by a photo-electric cell or electric eye", which auto- matically turns them on when day light diminishes to certain point, Should it become exceptionally mur- ky or dark during the day, the lights may even flash on at midday. They automatically turn on now under normal conditions about 3:3O D. m. and remain on until daylight be- comes strong enough in the morn ing to register on the electric eye"

West Point Post

Walter Scott Ford, of Juneau, has been named principal from Alaska to take the examination March 2 for entrance to West Point, the War Department mas announced. Young Ford received the appointment from Delegate Dimond and will take the test probably at the Juneau post oItice under the usual Civil Service Commission supervision. Dimond named two other Alaskan youths as first and second aIternates to Ford. Should the principal fail, the War Department explained, the alternate receiving the highest grade in the exam will receive the appointment to the Military Academy. Both al ternales are rom Fairbanks, the de- partment stated, Robert George MIller being designated first and brooks Drayuon getting the second position. The successful candidate must undergo further mental tests and a rigid physical examination at West Point before he finally be- comes eligible to enter the academ J with the class starting July 1, 1887.

 Fireworks-seldom seen in Alaska because the land of the midnight sun has no darkness on the Fourth of July-will be a feature of the second annual Winter Sports Tourn- ament and Fur Rendezvous at An chorage in February. Hundreds of Anchorage children will see this traditional American Independence Day entertainment for the first time, and many adults will witness it for the first time in many years. Plans are being worked out for a mammoth pyrOtechnic display dur ing the week of the tournament. Success of similar displays at the Fairbanks Ice Carnival has convinc- ed Anchorage people such a feature would be popular at the local cele- bration. Those who have seen fire works in the Northland claim that a clear Alaskan night is the best possible setting for such a display Rockets, pinwheels, bombs and many other types are planned by the committee in charge In fact the committees aim, according to some reports, is to outdo the north. ern lights.

To Cook Dried Fruits

In cooking dried fruits, the quick
method is recommended. Fruit
cooked this way is superior to that
which has been soaked overnight
and cooked long time, because it
has a firmer texture and more
character. The fruit has a sweeter
flavor, as it retains the sugar in the
fruit, instead of giving it to the
juice. ....E.

Thanksgiving Fruits

since the days Of earliest man,
died fruits have been recognized
a one of natures choicest gifts
of food. The early Egyptians were
among the first users OF dried
fruits. They found that a few
scattered punches of grapes left on
the vines at harvest time developed
4 deliehtful flavor through the con-
eentration Of grape sugars and pro-
yided delicious fruit out Of season.
From this casual discovery, pract1-
cal drying Of grapes resulted until
our modern methods have developed.
Raisins are Of special interest to
us at this season. Imagine q
thanksgiving without mince pie or
plum pudding and what would mince
pie or plum pudding be without raj
sins. To make our pies and pud-
dings more interesting. let us learn
something about raisins.
The two outstanding varieties Of
raisins are the Thompson seedless,
originated In Turkey, where 1t Is
known as the "Sultanina," and the
Nuscat. A man named Thompson
brought the seedless raisin to Cali
fornia in 1873, while the Muscat was
brought by the missionaries q CEN
tury earlier.
The picking, drying and prepar-
ing Of grapes is q long and care
ful process. When the grapes have
fully ripened on the vines, the clus-
ters are hand picked, laid on trays
and allowed to dry In the sum about
10 or Is days. Then the trays are
stacked for q few days to complete
the drying process. After this the
Yaisins are placed In Sweat boxes"
10 equalize the moisture content.
They are now ready to be delivered
to the packer, where they remain
until ready to be shipped to fill an
order.
Here they are "stemmed" and
graded" by passing over screens
With meshes Of various sizes. The
0p-stems are removed by revolving
screens Of fine NEST. They are then
washed and packed by machinery.
Raisins have a decided nutritional
value. They are a good source Of
Htamin B and also contain vitamin
q. They contain mineral salts in
important quantities and so are val
liable In building hemoglobin in the
Blood and preventing nutritional
nemia. They are alkaline form
ing and valuable and economical
source of fuel or food energy. They
contain from 70 to rs percent sugar,
which is in the form Of simple sug-
as which can be rapidly utilized by
0e body and transformed into en-
egy. Raisins also have a laxative
reaction.
knowing these important facts
ABOUT raisins we should try to use
aem freely in the preparation of
foods for the family.

A stirring vision of things to come
was evoked recently by one of the
chief figures in the American home
construction industry, when B. G.
Dahlberg of Chicago, pointed out that
the majority of Americans still live
under essentially "caveman condi-
tions" insofar as protection from the
hazards of dust, smoke, temperature
extremes and noise are concerned. The
point of the statement was that there
is still vast horizon for progress
and vast opportunities for American
industry in raising the housing STAN
dards of our population.

Mr. Dahlberg foresaw an era of
housing developments which will uti-
lie the newest methods and materials
in which Celotex ranks as the leader,
to reduce the hazards of noise, wide

He referred to conditions in even our

ed in the home.
The air-conditioning plant, INSTALL
ed in the store by Miller and Morgan,
Salisbury electrical contractors, is de-
signed to give the firms customers
comfort during their summer shop
ping, Mrs. Powell said.
The air-conditioning system is COM
posed of cooling unit manufacture
ed by the York Company, one of the
oldest and largest manufacturers of
air-conditioning equipment in the
country, and a distribution system
which carries cooled, purified air to
all sections of the store. Automatic
thermostats keep the air temperature
throughout the building between u
and 70 degrees, and another thermo-
stat scientifically regulates the a.
mount of moisture contained in the air
both for comfort and health.
Installation of the air-conditioning
system has been completed, and the
plant is now in operation. The new
third floor, under construction for the
past twelve weeks, is almost COM
pleted.
J. Roland Dashiell, Salisbury con-
tractor, was awarded the contract fo1
erection of the new floor. Steel grid
er construction was used both for the
floor and the roof in order to pro-
vide the maximum strength for safety
The stores sprinkler system for fire
protection was extended to include
the new floor.
Indirect lighting fixtures have been
installed throughout the building te
give customers visual comfort.
The improvements were undertaken
as part of the stores celebration of
it's 63rd Anniversary. The firm, first
established a single-floor shop in Sal
isbury in 1874, has expanded until ii
now couples three floors of double
building, and is the largest depart
