The Interior Department will
shortly station, a competent
alienist at Momingside Sani
tarium to have absolute change
of Alaskans committed there
for mental disorders, accord
ing to advices recently re
received by Governor Geobge
A. Parks from Washington.
John Rimmer, pioneer trap
per of the Yentna country,
was found dead recently in his
cabin on Hewitt Creek, a trib
utary of the Ekwentna. He
had evidently passed away as
the result of a heart attack
while he slept.
P. J. RicKert, owner of the
Fairbanks Garden, is approxi
mately $1,500 poorer as a re
sult of the recent earthquake
and storm, two of his four
greenhouses having been abso
lutely ruined. Weakened by
the earthquake the glass and
fram supports broke under the
ion. Territory of Alaska, commonly

ALBERT WHITE
U. S. Marshal,

weight of the snow which fell
later. Mr. Rickert estimates
the cost of the glass alone to
be over $500.
Total suspension of trapping
for a stated period is the only
way in which Alaska's fur
bearers can be given the pro
tection their rapidly diminish
ing number demand, in the
opinion of Charles L. Cadwal
lader, game and fur warden
for the Anchorage district, ac
cording to the Anchorage
Times.
He declared that half-way
measures will not do, and that
there must be a total suspen
sion for one season at least.
Charles Magaha, pioneer min
ing man of the interior, and
more recently connected with
the Alaska Road Commission,
died recently in the Anchorage
hospital from a stroke, at the
age of 72. The oldtimer mined
on Cleary Creek in the Fair
banks district, in the early
days of that camp. He had
been a resident of the Anch
orage district for the last seven
or eight years.
An item of $1,000,000 is car
ried in the War Department
supply bill, for use by the Alas
ka Road Commission in its road
and trail work in Alaska. The
senate jumped the item 100
percent over the sum approved
by the Burejau of the Budget*
and passed by the house. The
Commission had sought $2,
000,000 for the coming fiscal
year, but the estimates were
pared down to a bare $500,000
in which form it passed the
house.
Mrs. Lena DeGroff, wealthy
widow of the late Judge De
Groff of Sitka, died recently
in Los Angeles, California, fol
lowing a brief illness. The de
ceaesd left an estate valued at
over a millon dollars. Mrs. De
Groff lived in Sitka for many
years, where her husband was
in the mercantile business and
was U .S. Commissioner for
that precinct. Judge DeGroff
acquired a half interest in the
Chichagoff gold mine and
when the rich mine got into
production the dividends soon
made a rich man out of De
Groff.
The prediction that Alaska
will make greater progress in
the next four years during the
Hoover administration than it
has in all the years since its
purchase from Russia, was
made recently by former Gov
ernor Scott C. Bone, in a signed
i article in the Los Angeles
] Times.
Rev. Leicester F. Kent, Arch
deacon of the Yukon for the
past year, has placed his resig
nation with the Right Reverend
Peter Trimble Rowe, Bishop of
of Alaska, and it has been ac
cepted. During the past few
months several very attractive
offers have been extended
Archdeacon Kent to take over
work in the States. The Arch
deacon has decided to accept
work at Valle Crusis, North
Carolina, in the heart of the
. Blue Ridge Mountains.
