SEA ELEPHANT WASHES ASHORE
 NEAR kASAAN
Rare Two-ton Animal Nev CT Reported North
 of California

A sea elephant or elephant seal, a strange and rare form of sea life, recently was washed ashore on the beach at Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island where, on November 6, it was viewed by Forest Service officers from the launch Forester.
 The only known herd of these ani- mals is now found on Guadalupe Island off the coast of Mexico. Ap- parently it has never before been recorded north of California. Point Reyes and Point Loma are both listed as localities where it was formerly known. In 1929 one was killed on the high seas about 40 miles off Point Loma, San Diego, California, and the account of this capture states that 1t was the first individual of the species to be taken in California waters for many de- cadeS
 Once Common in South
 Formerly these huge denizens of the sea were quite common off the coast of Southern California where they hauled up in small herds on the islands and the more inaccessible beaches of the mainland. The large amount of oil in their bodies and their helplessness on shore tempted the sealers and Whalers, and be- tween 1855 and 1870 great numbers were killed. It is recorded that in 1892 there were but nine elephant seals found on Guadalupe Island and seven of these were successfully pursued and killed. Fifteen years later, in 1907, 40 were found at this remote haven and IA of this number were killed. From this small nucleus the herd increased until in 1929 a count revealed 469 seals.
 The elephant seal is the largest member of the seal family, the

males attaing length of g feet and a weight approaching three tons. The common name is derived from the curious flexible snout of the males, which, when relaxed hangs to 10 inches below the mug gle. This structure which superficial 1 ly resembles the trunk of an ele- phant can be moved about and even raised to vertical position. The specimen found at Kasaan is l reported to have been shot by In- dians in Kasaan Bay several days previously It was large male IA to Is feet long and estimated to weigh between 5000 and 4000 pounds. When killed it was in ex- cellent condition as shown by the heavy layer of blubber beneath the skin.
 Feed Deep
 Little is known oi it's food habits but the stomach contents of the Point Loma specimen indicate that these large, slow-moving seals feed on the bottom in 50 to 150 fathoms of water on squids. skates, ratfish and slow-moving species of sharks. Its only enemy other than man is exported to tbe the killer whale. The specimen at Kasaan bore mute evidence of a previous encounter with a formidable enemy, an old scar of immense size on it's left side showing where large piece of flesh had been torn out
 It is interesting to conjecture if the occurrence of this southern ami mai is in any way connected with the reported occurrence of pompano tuna, and other warm water fishes in Alaska waters this past summer Perhaps Alaska may at some remote day once more boast the tropical climate which it did in the dim past, as is evidenced by the numer- ous fossilized tropical forms that have been found.
 Several excellent photographs were obtained by the Forest Service and are being forwarded to the proper authorities as evidence so that this extremely rare record may be of- ficially recognized.

WHY PLAY
 FOOTBALL!

KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 22.-When it turns chilly up North and interest turns to football the boys in this island city pay no attention-they just keep on playing baseball.
 They play baseball here, in fact, all year round. There is never so much as hint of frost in the air, and the lads love the diamond pas time-and play for keeps.
 During a recent hot game Catch CT Specs Carbonell's jaw was broken when the ball took a nasty hop on a play at the plate. The following week Third Baseman Jack Carbonell came in fast on a graSs-cutter, caught the ball flush in the mouth, and spat out four teeth.

ing of stiff and sore muscles. To- morrow, when the two teams face each other on the gridiron, they will have in attendance Drs. w. w. Council and o. c. Carter, and Philip Gordon as trainer
 Adequate equipment also has played its part in protection of the players, and for this the sponsors of the game have to thank Ray Eckman, director of athletics at the University of Washington, who loan- ed the two teams forty complete uniforms and accessories.
 Good Ticket Sale.
 The sponsors committee, com posed of Wallis George, J. J. Meh- erin and James O'Neill. today re- ported that the sale of tickets has far exceeded their widest hopes, predicting packed grandstand and possibly 1000 general admissions.
 Reservations have been received rem all Southeastern Alaska cities, nc'udine Ketchikan, Wrangell and 'etersbu ?; few parties from Se- ttle have made the trip for the anne, arc several persons from the Tt srior are remaining over the hol- ia ' for the event.

Sharp Drop
For Feeds

Raleigh, Sept. 3O.-Further sharp
declines occurred in prices of wheat
mill feeds and some high protein
concentrates during the past week,
the U. S. and North Carolina de-
partments of agriculture revealed in
the weekly market news service re-
view. The index number of whole
sale feedstuff prices dropped to 1894
compared with 124.1 for the previous
week and the seasons low of 92.6 at
the middle of August. Increased Of
ferings particularly Of wheat feeds
as a result of heavy flour produc
ton together with a slack demand
following the active trading Of early
September were the principal weak
ening influences.
Practically all Virginia type pea
nuts in North Carolina now have
been delivered to shelters and clean
ers from warehouses both in the
country and at milling points, but
few lots still remain unSOld in far
mers hands in the country. For these
millers are paying IA to 4 IL cents
per pound delivered for best jumbOT
4 to IA cents for best bunch and

ing stock and medium grades of
bunch and jumbos. Cleaned and shell
ed goods ruled weaker, but stocks
were light and a number Of mills
were already closed for the season.
North Carolina fruits and Vege-
tables sold dull and weak during the
period. Snap beans were quoted at
25 to SO cents a bushel hamper in
New York at the close. Bulk apples
at 40 to 55 cents per bushel in At
lanta and the Federal surplus COM
mOdities corporation was buying
North Carolina sweet potatoes at SO
cents a bushel in the north eastern
part of the state.
Live poultry and egg prices ruled
slightly easier on most of the large
northern wholesale markets this
week. In Washington, turkey prices
dropped slightly with Is pound and
up young toms eligible for II to 18
cents, and 10 pound and up young
hens eligible for 20 to FL cents per
pound at the periods close.
At Chicago, after selling depend
ably early in the week, long fed
medium weight and heavy steers lost
25 cents or more, while light yearl-
ings and all little cattle held to a
strong price position. Hogs sold ac-
lively but lower, before mid-week
and closed slow at 40 to 60 cents
lower level. Spring lambs advanced
so to so cents in spite of increased
receipts and lower wholesale mar
kets. Light yearling steers topped at
114O, hogs made 7.85 Monday am
closed at 7.55 down. Native anu
western spring lambs reached 1000,
highest since September H.
