 They were watc ling us, though" he said We got two deer and mountain goat. The first deer we made the mistake of hanging up in a tree. When we re- turned to the Uncle Sam to sleep that night, brownie got away with the deer. After that we took no more chances

No Official Word On Barge Trip

A telegram from M. L. Davies Company, produce dealer in Se- attle, offering cargo space on a barge at 25 percent higher rates than regularly charged, has been received by Bernie Spain, manager of the Kenai Coop.
 According to Mir. Spain no men, tion was made of the name of the barge nor of the company operat- ing it. The reason for the 9 per cent increase in rates. although not specifically stated, is probably due to unusual difficulties in hand ling cargo at this particula time
 The cargo space offered was deck space. in which event extra expense might be entailed in pro- tecting the produce from weather on the voyage.
 Neither Northern Stevedoring nor The Alaska Steamship Con- pany have been able to confirm or deny any news of such sailings. The Alaska Railroad has been in formed that at least one barge is preparing to leave Seattle, but notification of departure has not been received.
 L. R. Lorang local agent of The Barge Line. said he could give no information beyond the fact that his office had received no word that any barges of his company had left Seattle.

Care Urged To Bar Polio In Alaska

Dr. R. O. Sellers, City Health Off, ficers, says the general health con- ditions in Seward are excellent at present.
 He warned, however, that se- were Polio epidemic is rampant on the West Coast and is slowly working itself northWard. This is a particularly vicious type of polio. It attacks the brain instead of the spinal cord, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
 Los Angeles County Hospital re- ports receiving from fifty to sixty cases every day.
 Dr. Sellers suggested that chil- dren be given either cold shots or vitamins in sufficient quantity to ward off respiratory infections which are often the prelude to DO. lio cases.
 He also suggested that mothers carefully examine their children each evening for evidences of head lice. There have been a number of cases of lice among the school children. If any are found, either the teacher or the family doctor should be informed.
 Dr. Sellers stated that head lice are very easily controlled by any of several preparations on the market at the present time.
