of land, which will form a
part of the proposed municipal
airport.
What is probably the largest
private herd of cows in Alaska
| is owned by Andrew Grosvold,
at Sand Point. He has had a
, herd out there for 25 years
j and at the present time the
! herd numbers about 30 ani
mals. Aside from the native

Sleet and snow, accompanied
by a wind which almost as
sumed blizzard proportions,
laid Anchorage gardens low
on September 1. Potato vines
were beaten down, berrj
bushes broken, hay scattered
in all directions and flower
gardens razed so effectively
that it is doubtful if the plants
can be revived this fall. The
appearance of snow in Anchor
age on September 1 is very
uusual, but not unprecedented,
having fallen the same date
in 1922.

little is known of the reported
find beyond the location and
the claim that ore recovered

ounces of silver to the ton. Mrs.
Griffith, of Gulkana road
house, is said to be interested
in the property.
