First Cow in Selawik Brings Wide-Eyed EskimOs For An Inspection of Milk's Source

A coW-an ordinary milk -giv- ing bouvine-cooped up in her own living quarters and hardly ever leaving the heated shelter is the latest sensation for Eski- mos in the Kotzebue-K obuk- -Sela wik district, little over 200 hun dred miles north of Nome.
 Harlan A. Gubser of the U. s. Biological Survey, who returned recently to Anchorage from more than three months in the Noatak and Kobuk River districts, said ESkimos travel many ardous miles on snoWshoes and by dog sled to see the cow
 The COW is owned by Archie Ferguson, trader and aviator at SelaWik, and is kept by him to furnish his children fresh milk and to furnish entertainment for everyone residing within the Arc tic Circle.
 MT. Gubser told about the COW while revealing several interest ing developments in the far nor tn as sidelights on his journey in a campaign to urge Eskimos to protect their reindeer herds from extermination by wolves and ob- sorbtion by caribou
 Another new thrill for the Esi- mos that has started their ton gues Wagging in recent months came from motion pictures shown by Game Warden Gren Collins. It was the first time the Eskimos saw pictures from other parts of Alaska.
 But the COW has captured the fancy of the Eskimos' MT. Gub- ser said. "The ESkimos have us- ed can milk for many years, but now they are getting fresh milk and also a real treat in seeing the strange animal that produces it."
 The cow was shipped to Sela- wik within the past year and is now in warm storage" with her snug home in a shed with walls insulated with 10 inches of saw dust. Electric lights are turned on a 6 am. and off at pm. oth- erwise the bouvine lives in dark ness.
 Ferguson rarely takes the COW out of the shed for fear she will freeze. On mild days she is put in the fox pen for exercise and the foxes and COW have become real friends" MT. Gubser said.
 "At first the foxes ran for shel- ter when the strange animal was put in with them, but now they play around in the pen together, There is no grazing pasture up there and the COW sees nothing of interest to her in any direc- ton she may look"
 Milk is sent in all directions from Selaw:k by airplane. Mr. Ferguson sells none of ii but just gives away the surplus to his friends. Fresh milk is sent reg ularly to Kotzebue for the fam fly of Warren Ferguson, Archie's brother and partner in the air plane and trading business.
 The motion pictures shown by Warden Collins were of Eskimo life on St. Lawrence Island, Nun ivak Island and Hooper Bay.
 Many Eskimos have their own movie cameras and take pictures all the time, but they had never seen pictures showing life in oth CT parts of Alaska" Mr. Gugser said. They consider the St. Lawrence Island Eskimos veal thy because they live in frame houses shipped from the states" !"
 One of the most interesting trading posts of the far north is at Neelik; between Shungnak & Selawik on the Selawik River.

A new threat arose today in the Southern California flood situa- ton.
 Flood waters threaten to inun- date the business section of Fresno as the levee holding Herndon Canal is weakening.
 Fourteen square miles of outlying suburbs are now under water.
 The known dead in what is call ed the Los Angeles floor area to- tailed 104 this morning with 77 of the recovered bodies identified.
 There are 128 persons still miss ing.
 It is believed the dead toll will be much higher when the flood re- cession permits of an extended silt clearance.
 None of the identified dead are Alaskans, it is officially announced.
 The damage to public property, highways and buildings is now esti- mated at $50,000,000.
 Private losses will probably never be known but these losses were likely to equal the public less.

MOSCOW, March 5. = Christian Rakovsky, former Russian Ambas- sador to Japan, has confessed send ing secret reports of Russian in ternal conditions to the Japanese Secret Service while he was on duty in Tokyo.
 Rakovsky is on trial with twenty other high officials on conspiracy charges. He admitted that exiled Leon Trotsky sought to provoke a war on Soviet Russia by the Jap anese and said that the Japanese had been looking for a pretext to attack China in 1884.
 Rakovsky also admitted working for the British Secret Service since 1924. He admitted his treachery when he was convinced by Soviet officials that a successful Trotskyist plot would lead to Fascism in Rus sia.
 It was reported that Trotsky would shoulder some of the re- sponsibility for helping world ag- gressors bring about their plans. "
 It was said Rakovsky only began to give his sincere confession after eight months of solitary confine- ment after reconsidering all of his Trotskyist views.
 T feared" he said, that Fas- cistic potentialities in power would result in the annihilation of cul- ture and civilization. That is what prompted me to confess every thing
