(HILKAT BLANKETS
 ARE BECOMING MORE
 DIFFICULT TO GET

Rare Chilkat blankets are be- coming rare, Don L. Burrus, man. ager of the Alaska Native Arts and Crafts clearing house here, revealed today. There are only four carfts- men who still make them. The old CT women of Klukwan Village near Haines-Mary Willard. Jennie Thlunaut, Mrs. Annie Klaney and Laura Hotch.
 If some members of the younger generation do not learn the art soon, it will disappear entirely Burrus said.
 The blanket is made of moun- tain goat wool, inner part of yell low cedar bark and sinew. The bark covered with goat wool is the warp and all the weaving is done by hand. The wool from three to ten goats is needed in the making of one blanket.
 The warp of the blanket is never colored. The three colors used for the wool are black, yellow and bluish green. The colors are all ways soft. Black is prepared from hemlock bark or black mud from certain springs, boiled with hemlock bark. Yellow comes from sehony moss, lichen, and the blue-green is made by the use of copper ore.
 The design is always conventional and the weaving is done according to pattern board which has been kept in the family for generations. The figures are similar to those found on their carved boxes, masks, and on the great doors they used to place before their homes. The central part of the blanket bears the totemic figure. Eyes, nose, mouth and sometimes the feet, occupy their proper places, while the rest of the body is often not seen. Many of the figures on the sides have no meaning but are placed to give design and richness in color effect.
 The blanket was used in cere- monial dances and at funerals. When a blanket was used in a dance, it became the property of the clan.
 The Tsimpsian Indians of Brit ish Columbia were the first makers of this type of blanket, but today the four Chilkat women at Kluk- wan are the only makers of i.. The Chilkats are a tribe of the Tlingets.

TRUE GANG STORY OF EARLY DAYS K
 AT CAPITOL SHOW

Out of the dramatic pages of the breakup of the great Western range lands, doomed by the opening of the Oklahoma Territory, has been fashioned a raw and raging film, crowded with dramatic incident and violent action, in Columbia's "Ihe Doolins of Oklahoma" The James Boys and the Dalton Brothers have been pictured in films; now the true, unvarnished story of the Doolln Gang has been brought to tEe screen, opening yesterday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Randolph Scott is starred in this super-W Western as Wild Bill Doolln, while capable assists are rendered by George Macready, Louise All britton, John Ireland, Virginia Rus- ton and Charles Temper. Doolin be- came an outlaw when his friends, the Daltons, were betrayed to the US. marshals. He gathered around him as desperate crew of buckos as ever put saddle to horse. Riding hard and shooting straight, they robbed banks, way-land stagecoaches and even footed train.
 Scott, as the cowboy turned out law, makes vigorous leader of the gang. Macready, as his antagonist, delivers an assured portrayal of the steely, determined marshal; MISS Allbritton makes an attractive dance hall girl in love with Ireland, one of the Doolins; Miss Huston IS properly wistful as Scott's Wl1e while Kemper makes colorful out law
 Gordon Douglas direction stresses the action in the taut and cracking script by Kenneth Gamet. Harry Joe Brown produced the Producers Ac- tors Production for Columbia re- lease.

Allen HasseIborg Says Bear Stories Don't Need Dressing

Bewhiskered, black-hatted, red booted, twinkle-eyed Allen Hassel- borg was in Juneau yesterday on one of his rare trips in for winter ! supplies--and he couldn't get out of town fast enough. He has lived at Mole Harbor on Admiralty Island for the past B years. Some say he is 90 or 100 years old. He admits to 75. Mot that it matters much" he said.
 Allen arrived about the same time
 that Inez Gregg of the Baranof
 Book Shop received book shipment containing a number of copies of
 Hunting American Bears" by
 Frank c. Hibben, which is dedicated ITO Allen Hasselborg, of Admiralty Island. the one human who has come the closest to knowing all there is to know about bears, this book is affectionately dedicated" When your reporter stalked and cornered the old bear hunter, he apologized for not removing his hat saying. If I take it off, I might
 forget it and I don't want to lose it. I've had it since 1913 and I like it." :, Hibben's book contains four chap 1 ters on Hasselborg's bear adven- lures. one of which appeared in
 nationally popular mans magazine
 about a year ago, entitled One Bite , is Enough" This particular story re- ferred to a bear as must be 16 feet, perhaps a record" AS result the
 old Alaskan received and is still re- ceiying much mail, most of which says. Isn't that an awfully big {, bear?"
 1 To this Hasselborg answers, Take [ a nine-foot bear, that is nine feet from nose to tail. That's lot of bear, and when he stands up and 1 looks down at you, you gotta figure
 he has at least four-foot hind legs 1 he's standing on :. and that's lot 1 more bear, especially close to you" I "What's wrong with bear stories,
 MT. Hasselborg?"
 everything! But they tell me they have to dress em up to make them interesting-as if the truth isn't interesting enough!" he snorted through his beard.
 Continuing with mellow gleam in once-hard eyes he continued,
 Because writers wrote such crazy stuff about me, didn't give any interviews for 20 years and was pretty critical of the things I read about bears. But it doesn't matter
 any more. Anything goes. I'm just getting too old to be critical any more"
 With that he departed for Beh- rends store where he's outfitted for
 years. not before imparting the in- formation that he first came to Alaska about 1898, aboard a cod fishing vessel on which the rest of the crew had been shanghied out of San Francisco. T was too dumb to be shanghied, he confided, because I wanted to come to Alaska" After two years in the cod fish,
 cries he landed in Juneau about
 1900. He explored Admiralty Island,
 liked the place and in 1917 settled there.
 Today he left in his 16-foot skiff
 with an outboard motor and hopes he won't have as much trouble going back as he had coming over. It's only
 long daylight run-if everything goes all right.
