Was 'Kilroy' There 100 Miles In From
 Point Lay In l842?

A pilece of flat sandstone with the names "Weir Ward" and the date 1922 etched into it arrived at the Territorial Museum after being discovered by a Geological Survey party last summer some loo miles inland from Point Lay, high in the Arctic.
 The sandstone, about a half inch thick and about nine by 12 inches in area, has been in the Smithsonian Institute since being found but was sent to Juneau on request of Museum Curator Ed ward L. Keithahn.
 The words, which Keithahn be- lieveS are the surnameS of two men, are written in faint capital letters, the date being scratched in beside the words in much small Ter size.
 There is no way of ascertain ing the slabs exact age by telltale weathering marks, because sand stone wears down evenly. If a vein of quartz or other hard ma terial were in the slab, it would be an easy matter to ascertain if the date were genuine, he said.
 Russian explorers of Alaska had not reached even the Yukon in those early days, Keithahn said, but American whalers were quite active then in the Boring and Arctic seas.
 He believes the stone may have been etched by two men from a whaler frozen in at the mouth of the Utokok River and who went inland to hunt for caribou, there being none on the coast. The Uto- kok is known as the Carbon River near its headquarters.

EUROPEAN RECOVERY HURTS WHALING INDUSTRY

COAL HARBOR, B. C., (P) - European recovery and the march of civilization have put the whale market on the skids, officials of the Western Whaling Corp. said yesterday.
 Douglas Souter, company presi- dent, said the situation is so bad that operations off the British Co., lumbia north coast may be can celled. The season is scheduled to open in May.
 Souter blamed the lack of de- mand on three things:
 Return of fresh butter in some European countries to near pre- war levels is lessening the need for oil for margarine.
 Use of detergents in the clean sing field rather than the oil using soaps.
 Use of substitute for vitamin A.

RedwOOds Survive In 5. k. Alaska

PETERSBURG, Alaska, tA) - For the first time in 35,000,000 years, redwoods are living and thriving in Alaska.
 This was made known here this week by Petersburg officials of the U. s. forest sefvice who plant ed seedlings of the prehistoric Dawn Redwood near their office last July.
 Throughout the summer and fall the tiny plants received all the care a loving mother could tender. They Weer sheltered from the weight of last winters snows, and as those snoWS melted this spring, the seedlings emerged, ap- parently brown and lifeless.
 Hope had almost been given up but someone decided to take a if nal look last week. He found small traces of green visible on all the seedlings and here and there definite shoots of new growth.
 In prehistoric days the Dawn Redwood thrived with birch, oak, beech, and chestnut trees in the then temperate forests of Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, Spitzenber- gen, northern Siberia and the Arctic islands of North America.
 Climatic changes, scientists say, eventually killed off the giant trees. In recent years traces were found of what were thought to be ancestors of the giant RedWoodS of California. Prof. Ralph w. Clancy, paleobotanist at the Uni versity of California investigated simultaneous reports from China. In the Chinese interior he found the trees growing in a locality known as the Valley of the Tiger.
 The tree was named metase- quoia glyptostroboides and seed lings were taken back and germ mated at the University of Cali fornia. Sixty tiny shoots were sent to the forest service and the Petersburg office planted ten of them.
 All ten are alive today and ac- cording to officials they are the first to have been reported as sur viving an Alaskan winter in 35 million years.
