 SIGHTED BY FILM MEN ON ISLANDS
Photographic Party Sees First Mother and Cub
 at Freshwater Bay

After more than three weeks on Chichagcf and Admiralty Islands getting motion pictures of brown and grizzly bears which will be in- corporated into the Alaska Wild Life film feature being made by the AL aska Game Commission and Biolog- ical Survey. Photographer Joseph Yolo and his guides. Game Warden Fl. R, Sarber and Forest Inspector J. P. Williams. arrived in Juneau at the week end aboard the Ranger 5. The party expects to go out again Wednesday to the east coast of Ad- miralty.
 They saw their first bear of the season in the Freshwater Bay region on April 30, a mother and yearling cub, Warden Sarber reported, con- trary to the general theory that the male bruins come out first. In the meadows on the Southwest coast of Admiralty they saw 19 bears in four days and while they saw the same animals many times, by actual count they tallied 3l separate bears in the little more than three weeks afield, no one of them, Warden Sar- Der said, which showed any indica- tion of being ugly Yolo was able to get 600 feet of excellent bear scenes, despite delays due to bad weather. At one time they had to come down off of mountain because it was showing so hard.
 There was lots of late snow on the east side of the islands but not much cn the western side, Sarber reported. and they saw no sign of winter killed deer, indicating the latter ami mals had wintered fairly we'll
 On the next trip out, the party hopes to capture two cub bears which, after being photographed, it is planned to trade to Poland for Capercaillies, or large grouse.

Juneau enjoyed it's warmest day since last September yesterday when the mercury rose to 70 degrees above zero at pm. degree below the reading of September.
 The fine weather continued today 64 being recorded at o'clock this afternoon. but the Weather Bureau reported it probably would be short lived as it forecast showers for to- night and tomorrow.

 Juneau Boys Graduate
 We were all very proud of the two Juneau boys who were graduat- ed last Monday-Olavi Kukkola anu George Karabelnikoff They are both going to remain in the Interior and the day after commencement they entered the employ of the con- pany, the same ss they have been doing each vacation for the past four years.
 'The Territorial Board of Edu- cation met on Friday, the 18th, and adjourned on the night of the 17th. We got better idea of the problems of the schools in the Fourth Divi- sion than we could get by holding our meeting in Juneau, and it did not cost any more to go to Fair banks than it would have cost to hold the meeting in Juneau and have the members from Fairbanks and Nome come here. We received royal treatment from the School Board, the Superintendent of the Fairbanks High School, Dr. Bunnell, the faculty and the Board of Reg ents of the University, the officials of the Fairbanks Exploration Com pany, the Chamber of Commerce and the people of Fairbanks gener- ally. The Nordale Hotel placed at our disposal fine large room for our meetings, and gave us every fac- ility so that we were able to exped- ite our business of the Board"

I think that all Juneau residents who can afford to do so should VlSlt there. It is an entirely different country from this, with much dif- ferent climate. The. days were warm, with sunshine all the time and no darkness at night, at this time of year. The country is quite dry, and there is quite serious shortage of water
 Vast Development
 The magnitude of the mining op- erations being carried on in the vicinity of Fairbanks by the U. s. Smelling Company is almost as- founding. The company is just now spending millions of dollars in pre- pairing for it's operations on Cripple Creek which is about six or eight miles out of town, where they are installing the largest drag line scraper in the world The cost of the scraper alone is $240,0O0. and we were told that several millions viii be spent before actual operations begin on Cripple Creek. There is d tremendous amount of mining ac- tivity all over the region.
 "A visit to the district is about the only way in which person can ap- preciate the problems of the people who live there, and while it is a long distance from Juneau, the air. plane trip is only few hours and the inauguration of the splendid service which is given by the Pacific Alaska Airways will in a short time bring the two towns much closer together than they have been in the past After all, we have many things in common in territorial matters, and we in Southeastern Alaska should always take a broad view in considering the problems of the peo- pie of the Interior.

It is surprising to see how many students and graduates obtain em- 1loyment with the U. S. Smelling Company and the other mining com .,ani0c in the Interior, and some of
