OPENING UP APPROXT- MATELY 40 LOTS

The City of Douglas, in an ef- fort to expediate the housing short age, is now in the process Of com dieting arrangements which will open up building lots for all pros pective builders at reasonable pr1- ces. Summer Street, Anderson Street, and Fifth Avenue are all to be developed by fall, if plans proceed on schedule. These streets will open up approximately 40 new building sites, with new water, sew CT and street facilities. It will also bring the Knob Hill residences into the city sewer and water system within a short period
 Most of the lots developed belong to the City of Douglas and it is planned to sell them for a flat $500 price which will be an equal share of the development for each lot, if and when they are all sold.
 Clearing of the streets with a 4O-foot right of way has been al- most completed and the surveying crew headed by Felix Toner is busily engaged in stalking and charting the area.
 Most of last nights Council meeting, with all but one council man present, was devoted to this project, and they were unanimous in thinking the project could be successfully carried out in the very near future.

Douglas men folk, members cf the volunteer fire department and others spent weary unsuccessful night searching the beaches and every other possible spot, in an ef- lort to locate two young Douglas Highway boys who have been miss ing since leaving their homes at II o'clock yesterday morning.
 The boys are Oscar Niemi, 12- vear-old son of MT. and Mrs. Oscar Niemi, and Ronald Ellers, Swear old son of Mir and Mrs. Roman Ellers. The Niemis are long time island residents, while the Eller family moved to their beach home only recently, formerly living in Ju- neau.
 With no clues as to their where aboutS, during the night, the Coast Guard, the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department and many others searched the beach from Marmion Island to the west end or Dpuglas Island and all the island trails and cabins.
 About eleven o'clock today, Ro- man Ellers, father of one of the boys. received word that two boys had been seen at the trail to the Salmon Creek Dam, were told to leave by the caretaker of the power house, but may have returned later. Later developments indicated that these were not the missing boys, however.

ESKIMO VETERAN IN SEATTLE FOR
 ARTIFICIAL LEG

SEATTLE, Aug. 9.-tR-Tiulana, son of Ukitguna, sat in a hotel room today. waiting for his left leg.
 He sat patiently, waiting until the white men were in their offices and he could telephone them Meanwhile, he worried intermit- tently about getting to church next Sunday.
 Tiulana, whom the Army in 1942 drafted and enrolled as Paul Tiu- lana, private, Stevedoring Battal- ion, is proud. He is a native of King Island, and everybody knows that the tiny Alaskan Eskimo island in Bering Strait is the most Catho- lie spot on earth.
 Tiulana knows it. Alter that day in 1943, when he was in the barge at Nome and cable sling broke burying him in falling tim- bers, he was hospitalized in the states. He went to Army hospitals in Vancouver, Wash, and Brigham City, Utah, and he was not able to go to church because they had to amputate his left leg. l This time, it is going to be diff ferent. Tuilana is determined not to miss Mass.
 "The Veterans Administration gave me new leg, but come now to get it changed for a better one," he explained simply. Even with the first one, I went on the ice this spring and shot two wal ruses.'
 Is Married Now
 Tiulana, now 27 is married and has a son, 2 years old. He does not want to stay in Seattle any : longer than the three weeks it will take to fit his new leg The King Islanders are at Nome now, carving and selling their ivory to the tour ists. He wants to get back before the Coast Guard packs the villag- CTS hack to the island for the long winter.
 When the lumbers fall on me, I 1 get moneys from the government now" Tiulana explained. '9The AL aska Native Service brought me my own lunbers and celotex last year and I paid $400 for it. Now my wife and baby have our own house, 12 by 20.'
 So, on montly army pension, Tiulana has his own one-room home on King Island Gasoline is too expensive, so his Coleman lamp is rarely used. Instead
 We took the door off stove and fill the door with dry moss and seal oil,' he said. That keeps our house warm all winter long, and this winter we have lots of oil. I shot ribbon seal, hair seal, two wal ruses, even ugruk ="
 Ugruk-the great bearded seal is vital to Tiulana. He is proud that even with only one good leg, he can struggle across the ice on his crutches.
 ''On these smooth streets I will use my cane when go to church Sunday" he nodded, but I think people will not know why I cannot kneel.
 Tt worries me-"
