Next Saturday is “Forget
me-not Day.”
Mrs. John Haahti of Stewart
returned last Sunday from a
visit in the south.
Today, September 23, is the
day on which Autumn official
ly begins, although to most of
us it has seemed that Fall has i
been well under way for some
time.
With the present issue, the
Herald commences the tenth
year cf its existence. It was
established September 18, 1924
under the present manage
ment, succeeding the Hyder
Alaska Miner in the local field.
For Hyder’s sole Jewish resi
dent, Yael Rozenstain, Thurs
day marked the beginning of
a new year—the year 5694 of
the Hebrew chronology—and
in observance his mercantile
establishment was closed until
sundown, at which time the
rabbinical New Year Day,
which actually starts the even
ing before, came to an end.
Contrary to the Christian cus
tom, the Jews do not observe
their New Year Day as a fest
ive occasion. On the contrary,
it is to them a solemn religious
festival and is quite devoid of
gaiety and excitement.
Copies of the new Treasury
regulations covering the ex
portation of new mined gold
were recived this week from
Alaska Delegate to Congress
A. J. Dimond. The regulations
are too extensive for publicat
ion but may be seen by those
interested at the Herald office.
With the roadbed practically
completed and approximately
fifty per cent of the gravel
surfacing laid, work on the
new highway to Moose Park,
initiated late in July under
President Roosevelt’s emergen

cy employment plan, will prob
ably be completed about Octo
ber 1, several weeks ahead of
the anticipated time.
A survey of the new highway
reveals that an immense
amount of work, including
much heavy rock work, has
been accomplished in the com
paratively short interval by the
crew of 14 men, most of whom
are old-time Alaska miners and
thoroughly familiar with the
problems of handling rock and
earth. It is undoubtedly due
to their experience in this line
and also to the willingness to
work characteristic of the old
time Alaskan that the project
will be completed so far ahead
of schedule.
Two More Alaskans
Get Federal Jobs
Appointment of two more
Alaskans to federal positions
in the Territory was announced
by President Roosevelt during
the past few days.
Joseph W. Kehoe, Ketchikan
attorney was named for the
position of United States Attor
ney for the Third Alaska Di
vision and Thomas Gaffney, of
Nome, for United States Mar
shal ‘of the Second Division.
Kehoe will succeed W. N.
Cuddy and Mr. Gaffney will
succeed Charles D. Jones. Both
appointees are Democrats of
long standing.
More Game Bird Regulations
An Alaska Game Commiss
ion circular received by the
Herald this week discloses that
the present regulations are in
accordance with the provisions
of the Federal Migratory Bird
Treaty Act regulations as
amended September 11, 1933.
These provide, as previously
reported, for an open season
for ducks extending from Sep
tember 1 to October 15. The
daily bag limits for ducks, ex
cept wood ducks, ruddy ducks,
and bafflehead, are 12 in the

brant is 4 in the aggregate of
all kinds. For Wilson snipe or
jacksnipe the limit is 20.
Possession limits for ducks is
two daily bag limits and for

The Act also provides that
