wounds apparently were not ser
ious.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich.— The
Seventh Day Adventist hymnal
adopted in 1886 is to be discard
ed. The general fall conference,
in session here, authorized the
appointment of a committee to
compile a new hymnal free of
such objectionable features as
“any hint of jazz, syncopation,
two step or jingle.”
JUNEAU—In 1927, the Rev. A.
KashervarofT, curator of the ter
ritorial museum, wrote an article
published in the magazine Al
aska which started the ball roll
ing for an organization for re
search into Russian history on the
American continent.
The new organization, called
the Russian Historical Society of
America, has issued its first sum
mation of studies in a pamphlet
of illustrations depicting Fort
Ross colony on Russian river, Cal
ifornia, as it was in the beginning
and as it is now.
For Ross was founded at Bode
ga bay in 1812 after the settle
ment of the Russians at Sitka, to
furnish a source of supply for
foodstuffs and meats for the new
North American settlement.
So far from home, the colony
did not prosper well and was sold
to John Sutter in 1844 with all
its land holdings and stock and
fixtures. Sutter found gold on the
property in 1848.
HAINES—Homer Berges, prin
cipal of the local school, has re
ceived his master of arts degree
from the University of Montana.'
His thesis was entitled: “The De
velopment and Financing of Pub
lie Schools in Alaska.”
ANCHORAGE,—C. Huerlin an
nounced that he is calling off the
campaign for contributions for
the erection of a statue “The Pio-i
neer”, in Anchorage, and that a
move is underway to obtain PWA
aid in the project.
Huerlin said that the sale of
tickets for Sidney Laurence paint
ings is also being called off for;
lack of support. Money will be
refunded for tickets already pur
chased, hesaid.
The artist pointed out that
there is a possibility of the PWA
aiding in the project as it is con
ducting art projects throughout
the nation. Erection of the statue
by the PWA would be for the
first art project directly for the
Territory, he pointed out.

Ravens Are Hard
On Sheep, This
Herder Stated
:
SEWARD. —Ravens and gulls
are a serious menace to flocks of
westward sheep. R. B. Patterson
of Unalaska explained here.
He explained that often the
sheep are so heavily burdened
with wool that they are unable
to rise unaided when once down.
When the sheep are in this con
dition, the predatory birds light'
on the backs of the animals and
pick at them, Patterson said.
The sheep furnish an average
of 14 pounds of high quality wool
at a shearing, he said. In addition
to raising sheep for commercial
wool, herders to the westward
are breeding caracul sheep as
black wool lamb hides are in de
mand for coats.
Patterson, incidentally, is one
of the busiest men in western
Alaska. In addition to raising and
breeding sheep he operates a
theatre at Unalaska and raises
:foxes. He is a post commander
of the American Legion and pres
ident of the Democratic club in
his community.
