DEPLETION OF HERDS E SERIOUJ MATER,
 MU5EUM MAN FINDS

Stories of serious depletion in sheep and caribou herds in Alaska has brought Dr. H. E. Anthony from the American Museum of Ma tural History in New York, to Alas ka on a tour to determine authen- ticity of reports.
 Dr. Anthony. who has been accom- panied by Ralph Friedman, New York lay conservationists, said in an interview today that depletion of herds in the north appears ser- ious enough to necessitate instiga- tion of wolf-control measures to save herds from dangerous thinning.
 The two men are here following a months expedition to Mt. McKin- ley National Park and points out of Anchorage and Fairbanks, including a plane flight over the Barter 1s- lands.
 Depreciation is serious in the pop ulation of both sheep and caribou, :" Dr. Anthony said. We are agreed that the numbers have fallen off to the extent that control is necessary"
 A study specimen of brown bear from Chichagof Island will return with the two men for display at the New York museum, if plan ned hunting trip to the island is a success. pr. Anthony added that the Chichagof specie will add to the museum collection which now includes a brown bear group from the Peninsula.
 A trip. to Glacier Bay National Monument is also being planned by the two men before they leave for New York September 21.
 This is not the first trip to Alas ka for Dr. Anthony, who has made two collection trips for the Ameri- can Museum during his 37 years of work with them. He made bis first trip 20 years ago, and returned in 1886.
 The two men arrived aboard the Baranof Tuesday night, and plan to make their headquarters here until returning to the states.

I Dr. Don Marquardt and Mrs. Ali N. Monsen. Greyling and lake trout caught Saturday. justified the fishing for which the trip by Alaska Coastal was planned. Because Dr. and Mrs. Williams spent five successive summers back in the 30s at Carcross and Atlin, the trip was ''old home week" for them and others in the party, who we're guests at the Kootenay hotel.
 Saturdays fishing with guide Bun Shaw across Lake Atlin pro duced greyling and big lake trout, white and red. Sunday, still with guide Shaw, then went to Me- Kee Creek, were entertained at dinner at O'Donnell by the Will jams old friends, MT. and Mrs. Nate Murphy and their son Mel win.

 Big Game Hunting
 Atlin is equipped for big game hunting. Guides are available and the resident license is not high. The Juneau party on it's trip to the creeks Sunday saw large moose near O'Donnell Creek at which guide Shaw took several shots. But the moose was too far away, and visiting the mines, not hunting, was the plan of the day. Grouse, mountain goat and bear were also seen by the visitors. The grouse season opens September 15.

AT!.IN FISHING
 TRIP E BOARD
 OF TRADE MEET
Road for At|in Is Boosted as Juneauifes Visit Bril-
 ish Columbia Camp

Everyone in Atlin, whether h' is ten or 70 years old will tel the visitor that what the country needs more than anything else 1! a road to connect with the Alaska Highway.
 Back Tuesday from fishing trip that turned into a Board oi Trade meeting, Norman c. Ban field and Dr. R. H. Williams hac pledged themselves to assist Atlir people in any way possible to ob- tain their objective.
 Banfield, who is in charge oi local arrangements for the an- nual convention in Juneau Sep tember 21-23 of the Associated Boards of Trade of Central British Columbia and Affiliated Members from Alaska, took a day from his fishing to discuss the road with the Atlin Board of Trade at Gov ernment House.
 It was arranged to have the matter of the road presented at the convention of the Board of Trade in Juneau two weeks herce.
 Aid for the road has already been promised by British Colum- bia, and it is hoped that support will be sufficient to get an order in council for an appropriation from Parliament of $4o0,000 tc build the 10 miles of highway from Atlin to Jake's Corner, nec- essary to connect with the Alaska Highway, 60 miles from White horse, Y. T.
 Thirty miles in that direction from Atlin are now in use, but the new highway would be relocated to the advantage of travel.
 British Columbia would reim- purse the Dominion by one-half the cost of the new road, should the S40o,00o appropriation be made.
 Support of the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce at the Boards of Trade convention is hoped for and Dr. Williams will present the matter of Atlin's road at the next meeting of the Chamber executive board of which he is member
 Once Famous Resort
 Already famous as a scenic re- sort, located as it is on 9O-mils Lake Atlin across from Llewellwyr Glacier, and known for it's fish, ing and big game hunting, Atlir has diminished from a town ot over 4,000 to a settlement of less than tenth that size. Higt cost of freighting supplies to mines and the high cost of operating tourist accommodations is a princi- pal factor involved in the towns diminished activities.
 First advantage to Atlin of the highway would be the lowered freight costs.
 Formerly center of extensive mining, only mines in the ares now operating are individual hy- draulic properties: the Piccolt Brothers mine on Mckee Creek O'Donnell Creek, where Nathan Murphy and his son Melvin Beck. man operate; on Spruce and Boul. der Creeks These are individua properties; "diggings," they art called.
 The Kootenay Hotel, operated by MT. and Mrs. William Peterborough than whom there are no fnel hosts, is the surviving inn at Atlir where formerly were operated tht large White Pass Inn, the Roya. Hotel and the Kootenay.
 Time was when the White Pass boat would have two or three hun dred tourists two or three time. week for the company Inn fol stays of two days.

Joined Al Green's Cadets shortly
after his discharge from the Navy
IN 1916 and has been with him ever
since.-Supporting Bernie in the
trumpet section is Jack Griffin. an
otner Smyrna man. Not display
ing too much virtuosity, Jack, nev-
ertheless, is content to be what
other musicians refer to as a fine
section man., and it is with his
aid that the brass department gets
its splendid quality and tone.-The
rest of the outfit is made up of
men from Middletown, Newark
and Wilmington. Shelby Brown,
handles very ably the lead alto sax
arrangements. To Woodal Coch-
ran, the drummer, goes the credit
for keeping up a good, steady
tempo from start to finish. Suave,
dignified Al Green has consistently
invaded the sanctimonious grounds
of George Madden, the grand rajah
of Wilmington bandleaders, by
snagging engagements at the Uni
versity of Delaware and Ursuline
Academy, to name few. AL not
only leads band but a place for
the band to play as we'll. Late in
the summer of 1947 he opened his
own dance hall in Woodland Beach
the Coliseum-where he has had
a steady Saturday night run, at
tracing capacity crowds from all
over Kent County. During the fall
to spring season he is swamped
with prom engagements, high
school dances, Christmas dances
and club affairs. Shortly before
and during the early days of World
War II, Al fronted another dance
orchestra with the same name
which played a successful season
at the Lotus Gardens. The draft
forced the disbandment of this or
ganization, however, when good
were hard to find even
for the country's name" bands.
Today, if nothing unforeseen hap
pens, AL Green plans to stay in the
music business indefinitely and if
he continues to get engagements
like the one at the Overlook Golf
Club, there appears to be no reason
why he shouldn't.
