HISTORICAL PICTURES
DISPLAYED AT SCHOOL
Herb Hilscher of Fairbanks who
is here for a meeting for the Alas
ka Good Roads Assn., being form
ed throughout the Territory is
displaying a group of historical
pictures belonging the the Uni
versity of Alaska in the foyer of
the Territorial School building.
Many residents took advantage
of the exhibit last evening and en
joyed seeing such a splendid pho
tographic record of the days of ’98
around Dawson and Lake Bennet.
The pictures are well worth
seeing and will bring back mem
ories to many of the old timers
here. Mr. Hilscher stated that the
most important purpose of the ex
hibit is the hope that there are
people here who have similar pic
tures of the early days of Nome
who would be interested in turn
ing them over to tne University
where they will be placed in a fire
proof building for permanent
preservation. He stated that it was
not necessary to give the pictures
outright to the University and ar
rangements could be made where
they remain the property of indi
viduals but are kept at the Uni
versity.
The pictures are on display to
day and this evening at the school.
PETERSBURG, (jP) — A four
pound bullhead came crashing
through the living room window
of the Peter Welde home, high
above the Wrangell Narrows—and
depending on how you look at it,
that’s no fishy story.
He and his wife said they were
reading in the living room a tew
days ago when the fish hurtled
through the window and landed
c/n the rug flopping weakly.
Arguments on how it happened
still were a dime a dozen today.
But the most widely accepted
“bombs away” theory wns that a
hungry gull snatched up the fish,
found it too heavy, let go and
sent it flying on a trajectory tow
ard the Welde house.

Remedy Found for
I Arctic Eye Malady
1 WASHINGTON — Cortisone,
famous arthritis remedy, promises
to control the major eye disease in
\ the native populations of the Arc- j
I tic Circle and to prevent the!
j blindness it causes.
Cases in which this hormone
j drug brought damatic recoveries
! in 24 to 48 hours, instead of ten
days to three weeks or longer, i
i were reported by Dr. Milo H.
! Fritz of Anchorage, and Dr. Phil
i lips Thvgeson of San Jose, Calif.
The eye disease is called phlyc
1 tenular karatoconjunctivitis. Lit
tle blister-like bumps attack the
lining of the eyeball and lids and
! scar the cornea. Eyesight is im
paired by the scars and in some
j cases is lost entirely.
