The Department of the In
terior has announced that it
has been able to save $400,
000 in the operation of the
Alaska Railroad during the
first nine months of the pres
ent fiscal year. The saving has
been effected principally by
reduction in the number of
operatives. The deficit for the
nine months was $611,000.
J. Fred Struthers, manager
of the Waechter Bros. Meat
Company, at Fairbanks from
1916 to last February, was ra.
cently bound over to the
grand jury at Fairbanks on
charges of embezzlement. The
first charge is for the alleged
embezzlement of $17,662 and
the second is for $268. He is
also made defendant in a civil
action in which judgment is
sought for $30,446, alleged to
have been wrongfully convert
ed. Struthers furnished $12,
500 bail.
Ketchikan is to have a com
plete radio broadcasting tow
er at Sunset Manor, north of
that city. R. R. Thornton is the
owner. The station will be sup
plied by local artists, for which
Ketchikan is said to be fast
becoming a center. The stat
ion will also act as a intensi
fier, catching the programs of
distant Stations and sending
them forth with greater
strength.
Frank Matson, 56, recently'
shot and killed Matt Simi, 43,
with a shot gun, on Zarembo
Island and then blew his own
head off. The men were in a
trolling camp at Elephant’s
Nose. They occupied tents a
few feet apart and had been
considered the best of friends
for years. A note was found
in Matson’s pocket which
said: “I did it. I must
do it.” The note was signed
by Matson.
Coal washing equipment that
once formed a part of the big
government washery at Sutton,”
has been acquired by the Alas
ka Matanuska Bituminous Coal
Co., and is now being installed
at the company’s mine at Coal
Creek. The equipment consists
of a jig, a double compartment
affair which was especially
built for the government and
has a capacity of 1,000 tons
in 24 hours. By means of the
jig and other equipment which
goes with it, the company will
be able to eliminate all foreign
matter from the coal.
Charged with the sale of
large quantities of ginger ex
tract to the Indians of the
Seldova district, R. C. Morris,
a prominent merchant of that
place, was recently given a i
hearing in the Commissioner’s j
court and bound over to the j
grand jury under bonds of
$1,500. The ginger alleged to
have been sold by Moms is j
said to have contained suffici-1
ent alcohol to make it a very,
popular beverage among the
natives of the community.
Identification of a body found

cently by Adam Zelinski, was
established by means of a

opment program required by

lishment in connection with a
projected pulp and paper pro
ject are the reasons giving for
revoking the license.

ALASKA SCHOOLBOY
WINS SCHOLARSHIP
The annual Alaska four
year scholarship to the Colo
rado School of Mines has been j
awarded to Rodney Lloyd, a j
graduate of Cordova High
School, class of 1926, accord
ing to an announcement re- j
ceived from the office of Com
missioner of Education, Lester
D. Henderson. This scholar
ship is made available annu
ally to one high graduate in ,
each of the states and terri
tories. It covers exemption |
from the payment of tuition, j
fees and the like for a four
year period and is valued at j
approximately one thousand
dollars.
Mr. Lloyd has an excellent
record as a high school Stud
ent. He was valedictorian of
his class and was active in"
extra-curricular work during
his high school course. His
home is in Kennecott, where
his father, C. W. Lloyd, is em
ployed on the staff of the Ken- j
necott Copper Corporation.
Alaska high school gradu- j
ates on whom this honor has!
been conferred previously are
William Niemi, Anchorage
High School, class of 1921. j
and Clifford Murray Smith, j
Fairbanks High School, class
of 1922.
provided by the 1925 Legislat
ure, have completely failed
ad there will be no boat on the ■
run during the present season,
it was anounced recently by
Governor George Parks, ac
cording to the Valdez Miner.
A bid for the run was received
t>y the Governor’s office but
the bidder later informed
the Governor that he was un
able to secure finances to cor
ry it out. The route, which i
would include the great Brist
al Bay fisheries region, is the
most poorly provided with
transportation in Territorial
waters. Small industries are
handicapped on that account, j
and residents of the adjacent
districts are materially af
fected by it.
The seagoing dredge Gen.
Rossell arrived at Petersburg
recently and made a test run
a few days later. With the first
high tide on the following
Monday it excavated sand
from the crest of the Peters
burg bar, removing 3,800 yds.
of material before it was forc
ed to move to deeper water by
the receding tide. It then at
tacked shoal No. 3, removing
4,000 yds. of clay and gravel;
there in one afternoon. It was 1
believed that by the end the
end of the week sufficient
sand would have been excav
ated from the bar, to permit
dredging operations at all
stages of the tide. William
Gerig, formerly assistant en
gineer for the Alaska Engi-1
neering Commission, is super
vising the work of the big
dredge.
Since before the coming of
the white man to Alaska the

LIVELY SCRAP OVER
THREE BABY BEARS
T. E. Lowell, associated with
^oy Lund, was drying out the
Vntdez trail, sayj : he Fair
banks News-Miner, when a
large brown bear with three
cuts ran across the trail. The
tiuck was stopped and a shot
fired at the mother bear. AH
the bears began to run, the
mother bear heading into the
brush, the cubs taking to trees.
Lowell got out an axe, and
cut down a tree upon which
one of the cubs was perched,
and started for the truck with
his howling captive. From no
where, appeared a very ener
getic mother bear traveling at
an excedingly high rate of
speed. Mr Lowell immediately
ascended the highest point af
forded by the truck, while
Newton opened fire. The moth
er was apparently wounded
slightly for she retired to re
turn no more. There remained
two cubs resting comfortably
in the tops of the unclimable
trees. Lowell again started to
chop; the trees fell easily
enough, but the cubs display
ed agility surprising in animals
enly a month and a half old.
No sooner would a tree come
crashing to the ground than
a cub would elude his pursu
ers and be up another tree.
Mr. Lowell perspired; trees
came crashing to the ground;
and still the cubs climbed
without difficulty. Finally a
concerted rush was made and
ene cub was taken, and the
ether was then worn out and
captured. Now there are three
bears for sale, with nicely
modulated voices and a large
capacity for growth.

Jays ago was surprised to

he promptly killed, says the
eyes were sunken and it ap
peared to be in a very weak

Valdez Miner. The bear prov
ed to be a very old animal. Its
ed around feeding on skunk
cabbage. Its worn tusks furn
ished additional evidence of its
great age. It is a puzzle how
the bear got on the Island, as
it is not within swimming dis
tance of the other islands.
Professor Earl Pilgrim, of the
Alaska Agricultural College
and School of Mines, recently
announced to the Fairbanks
New-Miner that he will act as
agent for Morris Kirk &Son. of
Los Angeles in the purchase
of antimony ore in that dis
trict. The price of antimony is
up, it is stated, and general
indications point to an active
market for some time. Pro
fessor Pilgrim will work this
summer the Eagle antimony
mine, on Treasure Creek,
which has been lying idle since
the war days, when it was a
producer of high grade ore.
Linden B. Pentz, for the past
year and a half shop foreman
of the News-Miner plant in
Fairbanks, started recently
from that city on foot, bound
for Valdez. During his trip he
will collect material and illus
trations for magazine articles.
While in Fairbanks several
articles from his pen appeared
in nationally known maga
zines. The story of a trip made
