PRESS OF ALASKA
The City Clerk of Juneau, an
nounced recently that $92,500
of the Juneau school bonds
have been sold to those who
have asked for them without
solicitation for subscriptions.

platinum in the U .S. in 1926

eau of Mines compilations.
California produced 269 oz.,
valued at $22,610; Oregon

while Dime Creek, Alaska,

Wrangell Narrows was clos

iiit::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;:
ed to commercial vessels at
midnight May 19, in preparat
ion for the work of deepening
and widening the channel. It
is probable it will be closed
for at least a year, the work
necessitating extensive- dredg
ing and blasting. The work
will be done under the direct
ion of United States engineers.
John D.eLong, Fairbanks rep
resentative of the Utah &
Idaho Sugar Co., has on hand
a supply of sugar beet seed,

eral farmers have signified
their intention of trying the
seed this season .Mr. DeLong
will give a cash prize of $20
to the person exhibiting the
five best sugar beets at the
Tanana Valley Agricultural
Association fair next fall. Sam
ples will be sent to the States

satisfactory it may eventually
lead to the establishment of a
sugar mill in the interior.
Fifteen thousand seal skins
were sold at auction for the
United States government at
the International Fur Ex
change at prices averaging 25
per cent less than those pre
vailing at the last semi-annual
auction. Sale of the skins
brought a total of $500,000.
The decrease in price is attrib
uted to the general decline in
fur prices and prompted New
York buyers to predict an in

creasing popularity for seal
skin garments because of low
er prices. Fifteen hundred
skins classed as logwood
brown sold at 15 per cent
more than at previous sale.
Rarity of this type brought
the high price. The average
price of black skins was $31.13
and brown skins $49.17 with
a top price of $65 for both.
