EARLY ALASKAN E
 GUEST, TUESDAYS
 ROTARY LUNCHEON

Juneau Rotary at it's regular noon luncheon nesting Tuesday in the Gold Room cf the Baranof Hotel, entertained gentleman who was introduced as the Frs Citizen of Alaska.
 President Ed Keithahn explain ei that he is not just certain that the guest, whom he brought in a bag, really deserves the title. But at any rate he is one of the very cid residents of the Territory. And reaching into paper sack, Keithahn extracted brown, al- most ape-like skull, minus it's low CT jaw, and with a hole from one side to the other just behind the eyes.
 The fellow who originally wore the skull, said, Keithahn, arrived in Alaska many thousands of years ago. Most probably he was forci- bly, ejected from life on Kodiak Island; and since early residents of Alaska are thought to have been cannibalistic, that would eX plain the hole which had been knocked in the skull as being for the purpose of getting at the brain matter
 1 Last summer the skull was dug up from a spot that appears to have been the bottom of a pre- historic lake Keithahn is having photographs taken of it in Juneau. and intends to send it back to tka University Of Michigan to be mea- sured and classified.
 Man in America, Ksithahn eX- plained, is generally believed to have arrived through Alaska. Re- mains of the Folsom man, mostly arrow heads, have been dated at about 15000 years before OUT time and the sandia man is thought to have lived in America about 25, 930 years ago.
 In comparison, the Ala.kan In- dians arrived only about 1000 years aeo. and are comparative newcomers.
 Fielding up the skull, Keithann pointed out that it has Caucasian eyes, rather than Oriental. This, he observed, poses an interesting rossi fifty. It is believed that at one time the Austerloidg, a prini tive race of white men, circled the Pacific ocean.
 Atorigines of the race still sur vive in the Sahkalin Islands Of Northern Japan. If they survived elsewhere at all, said Keithahn. it would most likely be on offshore islands, such as the Queen Char -ottes and Kodiak.
 Red-haired natives, which have teen noted since the Queen Char lotta islands were first discoE cred by modern explorers, are thought to be descendants of Austerloid -eople who have become inter-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-04-02

mingled with the Haida tribe of natives.
 It is a possibility said Keithahn that this skull belonged to a mem Der of the Austerloid race who lived on Kodiak Island But only scientific classification will tell. He is definitely Pre-Kodiak, prooab- ly an ethnological relation of th- Alsuts and coastal Indians.
 Col. Arthur Hopkins of the Sal vation Army, special delegate to the Alaska convention at Hoonah last week, spoke briefly to the Ro- tarians He told of the work of the Salvation Army during two World Wars, and how they now are sending Relief Brigades" into war torn countries.
 We are trying to do our part, " said Col Hopkins, toward bring ing peace to the world"
 Ernest Parsons, program chair man, introduced Rotarian Claude Carnegie as one political candi- date who had not yst had a chance tc speak his piece. Carne- eie is candidate for Mayor of Nor way Point
 He stated his platform is free electricity and more clam digging :" Carnegie said that although the polls would close at ' p. m, the returns may not be in until as late as 7:15.
 Tom Dyer, reporting for the Ro- tsry Airport Committee, spoke briefly on conditions at the Ju- neau Airport, the status of which is at present somewhat in the limbo
 We arg on the verge of an era Of four-engined airplanes in AL aska," said Dyer, reporting that Pan American Airways had brought in a DC-4 ship to the Juneau field on an experimental flight.
 There is a possibility, he said that official permission may be granted for DC-4s to land com mercially at Juneau. A longer run way would be preferred by the CAA, hut the field as it now stands is sufficient under normal condi- lions.
 Two communications were read to Rotary. The first was from Byron E. Scott, national chair man of the American Soap Box rcrby at Akron, Ohio. The letter informed the Juneau Rotary that all expenses of shipping the tottem pole presented to the Der by organization for the Akron grounds would he borne by the
 oep Box Derby.
 The totem, copy of the Kol- teen pole at Wrangell, also known as the Kiksadi pole. was carved by Guy S. Prince on appointment by tNe Rotary as a gift to be mounted at Akron. It is now at the No'tn- land Transportation Company doCk awaiting transportal ion.
 A .,ctter was also read from the Juneau Merchants Association, ask ing for appointment of Rotary representative to a committee for the Fourth Of July celebration in Juneau Rod Danell, also chair
