“Most often when we read ad
ventures of the pioneers of 1898
the hardships are of snow' and
ice,” says the Alaska Sportsman
in its November issue, just out.
"Few stories have been written
concerning the thousands of pros
pectors who did not immediately
go to the Interior of Alaska, but
spread out along its immense
coast line and searched the creeks
and rivers there for gold.
The statement is made in the
introduction to “Adventure in '98'
by Andrew J. Hutchinson, a true
story of experiences on a pros
pecting trip up the Susitna River
into the Talkeetna Mountains.
On the trip the writer and his
Cheechacco partner almost starv
ed to death and were exhausted
from the battle with rivers, moun
tains and mosquitoes. The arti
cle is based o'n a letter written by
the author immediately after the
adventure.
“Express Train Fury” is a true
story of an exciting adventure
with a brown bear. “Jury Duty”
by John Q. Adams of Matanuska,
relates experiences between trials
while on court duty in Valdez.
The Second of a series of letters
of a Cheechacco describes exper
iences of Mrs. Rose Gunn and her
husband in Ketchikan after com
ing to Alaska from the States to
start life anew, after having been
buffeted about by the depression
in the States.
“The Chief Builds a House” by
Hal Gould, describes how the
Hydah Indians built community
houses long ago.
The usual features, “Ketchikan
to Barrow”. "The Sluice Box,”
“Flora of Alaska”. “Arms and
Ammunition” and “Main Trails
and Bypaths” are included in the
issue, which is well illustrated.
The cover is a photograph of
three brown bears and the frontis
piece is a view of a band of moun
tain sheep in Mount McKinley
Park. Both are particularly at
tractive.

EDITOR. MART HOOD CHAPMAN
A meeting of the High School
Student Body was held yesterday
afternoon. Reports from the bud
get committee were heard and
discussed. A play to be given by
the High School was decided up
on, and a tentative date for its
production was set in January. ,
A skating party Saturday night
was suggested, and a long and at
times very heated discussion fol
lowed. Finally, after two votings
had resulted in a tie, it was de
cided best to postpone the party
until next week. As there was
no further business the meeting
adjourned.
The English III Class has been
working overtime this week gett
ing out this year's first issue of
the “North Star”. The school
paper is published monthly by
the Junior-Senior English class,
and presents an interesting cross

The Home Ec. Girls, Group I,
had a labratory period Friday.
They prepared breakfast dishes
and beverages, cocoa, coffee, and
tea.
Home Ec. II Girls are planning
to take up table service. They
are going to prepare four kinds
of white sauce in the coming
week.

The sixth and seventh grade
party, Friday afternoon was very
successful, particularly from the
refreshment angle. Games were
played in the gymnasium,and the
] new phonograph provided music
for the occasion. Then the pupils
were seated around the library
tables, and enjoyed delicious ice
cream end cake. Orange paper
pumpkins and marshmallow and
gumdrop favors at each place
gave the table a festive look.
The fourth and fifth graders
also had a Hallowe'en party yes
i terday afternoon. In the morn
: ing they prepared the refresh
ments—taffy apples, traditional
Hallowe’en fare. The last hour
of the day they played fortune
telling games and ate their ap
ples. The room is decorated with
a frieze of original crayon pic
tures about Hallowe'en. Dolly
‘ Kost entered school this week.
The second and third graders
in Miss Bouck’s room wrote their
j own news this week:
We have been making Hnllowe’
' en pictures and Jack-o-lanterns
this week. Friday afternoon we
1 had a Hallowe’en party. The
third grade has answered letetrs
from the third grade of Raleigh,
North Carolina. We have made
sailboats too, and painted them.
Miss Jackson's first and second
graders' Hallowe'en party, Fri

affair. Patricia, Marvel Frances,
Jimmy, and Victor were hosts
and hostesses.

turned their flashlights on the
man.
There stood Paul Haradon, Chi

his homemade telescope trained
on the constellations.
“I was just making some heav
enly observations,”he stammered.
“I picked this alley so the street
lights would not interfere with
the light from the stars.”
The policemen letft him there.
