RddiofeIephone Rates Be- tween Juneau and &c.,
 attIe Reduced

Radiotelephone rates between the United States and Alaska are being drastically reduced by the govern ment, effective tomorrow, Wednes- day, November IS.
 Radiotelephone service between the United States and Juneau was inaugrated on July 8, 1887, at which time a day rate of $9 for the first three minutes conversa- tion and $3 for each additional minute or fraction thereof and a night rate of $6 for the first three minutes and $2 for each minute or fraction thereof were placed in effect.
 The new rates provide for a day rate of $6 for the first three min utes and $2 for each additional minute or fraction thereof and a night and Sunday rate of S4.50 for the first three minutes and $150 for each additional minute or frac- tion thereof.
 Major Paul S. Edwards, Officer in-Charge of the Alaska Communi- cation System, also announced that within the next 30 days radio telephone service will be established between Seattle and Ketchikan.
 Radiotelephone service of the Signal Corps connects with the A. T. and T. Company at Seattle, making it possible to effect direct conversation between any point in the United States and those points in Alaska served by the Alaska Communication System. Major Edwards stated that dur ing the two-year experimental period the new service has amply demonstrated the necessity for a means of personal communication as on a number of occasions the savings of life has been accom- plished due to the facility with which medical consultation has been effected.

New Ranger
 Station Is
 Announced
John Rumohr Is 10 Be in Charge af Mount Mo-
 KinIey Nail. Park

MOUNT MCKINLEY NATIONAL PARK, Alaska, Nov. 14.-Wonder Lake Ranger Station in Mount Me- Kinley National Park is the head quarters of the new ranger district for which Ranger John Rumohr has been appointed District Ranger.
 By having District Ranger Rumohr, and his assistant, Ranger Raymond McIntrye, stationed at Donder Lake this winter, dog team patrols of the park boundaries will be more effective and frequent, ? Park Superintendent Frank T. Been reported.
 Heretofore the remote parts of the park could be reached only after hard days of travel from Park Head quarters. Occupying Wonder Lake Ranger District will reduce by half the distances necessary to cover and thereby result in more efficient pro- lection of the park boundary. The north boundary will be patrolled east of Toklat River and west to the western end of the park.
 The ranger residence at Wonder Lake is a tight five-room cabin built by CCC this summer so that one looks over Wonder Lake to Mount Mckinley The cabin commands one of the grandest views in the world. Perhaps there is no residence that has such an intimate view of the highest mountain in North America.
 Rangers Rumohr and Mcintyre have. sixteen sled dogs and two sleds and are stocked with food and fuel to last all winter. It is expected that they will remain at Wonder Lake until the park road is open in the spring.
 Observations of animal life and weather conditions in that part of the park will be recorded with notes and on maps. Careful investigations of trapping activities near the park will result in data useful to the National Park Service and the AL aska Game Commission.
 Superintendent Been sta te d, Wonder Lake Ranger District is the first permanent district estab- lished in the park and forms an im- portant step in park protection as well as medium for improved serv- ice to park visitors"

HAS CHARGE OF DOGS

Clyndon F. Dollar now has charge of the Alaska husky sled dogs at Mount Mckinley National Park. Shorty" as he is called by his many friends, became popular with park visitors because of his expert bus driving with the Mount Mckinley Tourist and Transportation Com pany. His uncanny knack for locat- ing animals along the highway won the appreciation and admiration of all tourists fortunate enough to be his passengers.
 Chief Ranger Lou Corbley says, Shorty has a fine way with the sled dogs so that next year he will be able to show off the huskies for the park guests in addition to his present well known activities
 Dollar is stationed at Park Head quarters and is living in the ranger dormitory.

It was further stated by Major Ed wards that another feature of the reduced rates is proposed reduc- ton in the charge for broadcas facilities which will permit con- nection of Alaskan radio broadcast stations with the national broad casting networks.
