Skaggs, Jr. was the one who
should receive first prize, but
made no announcement of it. They
weren't sure about second and
third prizes. So they didn't ask to
have handsome Gene brought

at half dozen other little fell
ows.
When Father John Arm

the first prize winner, he and his
retinue of family had all gone

Bids Open Next Week
 On Bethel ANS Hospital

DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, Oct. H. Bids are to be opened Oct. 23 in Washington, DC, on the Alas ka Native Service 70-bed hospital to be built at Bethel.
 It is anticipated by the service that the project will be let this fall. Funds totaling $3,500,000 have been made available to cover all costs including construction of the building, equipment and arch Yectural and engineering ser-', vices. A total of 760 calendar days are to be allowed for construc- ton.
 Creosote piling has been deliV- cred to the site of the proposed hospital to be built 50 miles from the mouth of the KuskokWim Riv- CT. A special earth boring tool to bore holes for the piling has been successfully tested at the hospital site, Foss, Malcolm and Olsen, architects for the hospital, said today.
 The boring tool is used because of the permafrost prevalent in the area. Filling for the building is to be set in holes Is to IS feet in depth. Construction is expected to start next spring allowing the pill ing to become set during the winter. Permafrost conditions are such that only piling foundations are feasible, the architects said.
