STUDYING ORIGIN OF
 EARLY NO. AMERICANS

FAIRBANKS - More evidence to support the theory that the first human life on the North American continent crossd over from Asia by way of Boring Strait will be sought along the Boring sea coast this summer. 4
 Dr. Helge Larsen of the Danish National Museum at Copenhagen announced that he plans an exped- ition to seek connecting cultural links between the ancient Eskimo ruins at Point Hope, north of Nome, and Dutch Harbor in the Aleutians.
 Larsen is in Fairbanks with Dr. Brick HOltved, an expert on lang uages of the Greenland Esl1imos.
 Working with Professor Louis Giddings,, University of Alaska an- thropologist, they plan digging parties near Dillingham; on Bristol Bay, on Norton Sound and in an area from the mouth of the Yukon to the village of Unalakeet.
 Larsen earlier dug at the ancient Eskimo settlement of Ipiutak near Point Hope, whose excavations ad- ded credence to the belief that the earliest residents of North America came from Asia.
 Later Larsen discovered the re- mains of a similar extinct cutulre near Dutch HarbOr, 1900 airline miles. southwest of Point Hope.
 In hopes of linking the Alaskan Eskimos with the Greenland na- tives, Dr. Holtved will make wire recordings of folk tales and music of the Alaskans.

 It stripped the last traces of "non-politiea1' atmosphere from the Presidents western campaign.
 The President charged that Con gress under Republican domination had wrecked price control, stymied the housing program, virtually a. polished the labor department, tried to tear up the employment act of 1946, torn the budget apart, and practiced economy in the re- verse"

Moore Reports On RuiIbus

L. A. Moore, public relations of ficial of the Alaska Railroad, brought a report on railbus oper- ations to the Chamber of Com merce at the groups recent meeting. MT. Moore stated that since railbus operations began in May, costs of operation had to- tailed $9,418, while revenue figures reached only $5,685.
 The Railroad officials asked cooperation of Valley residents in making use of the railbus, which he said must show at least a balance in revenue and cost if it is to continue operation. He stated that revenue had in- creased during recent weeks, and he hoped it would continue to do so throughout the winter.
 Mir Moore also told the Cham Der membership that he was in- terested in acquiring 1000 feet of fair ground property to be used as an industrial site for busi- nesses which cannot find ware

Palmer had all the appearance of a Western movie climax late last Thursday evening, as FBI men, highway patrolmen and Anchorage policemen closed in around the Lodge, where bad men" Joe Jerry and Carl Hicks were thought to be hiding out. Hicks was apprehended at the Lodge, where he submitted pas sively to capture. Jerry, native, later was taken at Felton House.
 The pair are accused of the beating and robbery of 76-year- old John Karalis of Anchorage. They broke into the mans cabin Wednesday night. After beating their victim and threatening to cut his throat, Jerry and Hicks

KINGS GIVE LOCAL LIBRARY NEW SITE

The Palmer Library has found new quarters through the cour- tesy of Al and Ethel King of Palmer Automotive Service, it was announced this week by Mrs. E. F. Graves. On Jan. 1, 1949 the library will be doing business in the garage quarters recently ra- cated by B. & c Supply.
 The space has been offered to the library rent-free. The library must pay for the installation of light meter and for it's monthly electricity, but otherwise there is no expense involved.
 Should the Kings find other tenants for the quarters offered the library, they have promised that other space in the basement will be made available.
 Since there is no longer any problem of preparing books for storage, Mrs Graves said that books would continue to be issued without interruption. The move will take place sometime late in December, but the definite date will not be announced until later.
 Most of the work of packing books for moving will be handled by Mrs. Graves and by Mrs. Eos ter Sims. However the two are asking that men volunteer to help with the work of carrying out the bookcases, which must be moved intact. There also will be need for a truck to help effect the move. Anyone who wishes to help the library transfer it's books should get in touch with Mrs. Graves as soon as possible.
 The entire library board has expressed it's gratitude to the Kings for making it possible to continue the library. "It shows the deepest interest in the com munity," Mrs. Graves stated. When we have people like the Kings willing to offer such ma terial assistance, it proves there isn't anything Palmer can't do."

B US LIN EN DS RUN

A history of seven years of ser vice in the MatanuSka Valley ended last Sunday, with the an- nouncement that OHarra Bus will no longer run any buses on the Anchorage Palmer WaSilla route. A bus company spokesman said the run was no longer pro- fitable and therefore must be abandoned. It is a permanent arrangement.
 O'Harra Bus, now in receiver ship, was first organized in Fairbanks by Kenneth O'Harra nine years ago. Two years later he moved to Anchorage and in stituted the Matanuska Valley service, as well as a Fort Rich ardson run.
 One bus, that on the Gulkana, run, is still continuing service. That bus travels through Palmer, going north on Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays. It leaves Anchorage at g am. arriving in Palmer about Il am. Passengers for Valley points may ride to Palmer on that bus, or may ride from Palmer to Anchorage on the return trip on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The bus pulls into it's Palmer depot at the Coop Fountain not earlier than pm.
 The bus company spokesman said the move was regretted, but that there was no alternative at this time.
 A report circulating from an unknown source states that the O'Harra line, the Matanuska Valley line and the Anchorage City Transit System all soon will be merged under the manage ment of a firm known as North ern Transportation.
