To Help Physical WelI-Being

10 Hclp fnySicdI WciI-DclHS
 To help the physical well be- ing of the King Island Eskimo and better his health we installed hoist at the top of the village. This hoist we brought in last year. Much remodeling was re- quired for it's particular work. Previously when the Eskimos re ceived their years supplies by the only cargo boat which visits the island but once a year every piece of freight was hand hand Ter thirty five time relaying it up the cliff. Many days were requir- ed to get the material stored away. This year as fast as the supplies came ashore, they were hoisted up the eff. The severe work which impaired health and many times resulted in death, was eliminated.
 Stairways Installed
 Stairways were built, railings installed at dangerous places. A trail was blasted to the ceme- tery. Previously several dozen men were required, with the aid of ropes to take a body to the cemetery on the rocky slopes.
 The hoist I had converted to our needs and gas engine which was overhauled and converted for it's future stationery hoisting work, by Jim Stevens and his boys at San Jose State College, did not arrive in time to be in- stalled on the boom which we will put at the bottom of the is- land. This will be installed next spring There were but two days during our stay when boat could land material on the island
 The natives were unable to get to their natural cold storage cave for their sorely needed supply of meat Next year we hope to build trail to this cave by blasting away the cliff install a pipe line, for the water system, complete the landing beach and erect the boom for hoisting out the boats, lift the oomiaks or skin boats to safety from Arctic storms. This is a job which tested the mettle of every man in the will lage,

CHANGE MADE IN ARMY AGE LIMITS

WASHINGTON, Sept Under Secretary of War Robert P. Pat terson announced a sweeping change in the age limits of com- missioned officers, designed to re vitalize the Army's field forces. The new age standards apply to officers of the Regular Army, the National Guard and the Reserve Corps. Officers in these ranks who are serving in the field, and who are over the new age limits, will be transferred to what Pat terson called appropriate posi- tions elsewhere"
 The age limits apply to ranks from Second Lieutenant to Ma jor General. They are as follows: 62 years for Major Generals; 60 years for Brigadier Generals; 55 years for Colonels; 52 years for Lieutenant Colonels; AZ years for Major; 32 years for Captains; 35 for First Lieutenants and 30 for Second Lieutenants.

Keep Elm Digging g

Fortunate it is that Interior Al aska is enjoying an exceptionally long season this year, enabling placer operators to continue their gold production. With a third of September sped, and hydraulic, dredge and other placer mines still going full blast, much of the time lost earlier in the season by reason of dry conditions and la Dor strikes may be retrieved. If the mild fall continues much longer, last years splendid yield my be equalled or exceeded.
 But favors of the weather gods are not all that should be wooed. Alaskan miners face doubtful situation for the coming year. Possible skilled labor shortages and difficulties in getting mining equipment may seriously impair the industry.
