BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
FARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Governor George A. Parks
announced recently that a new
cup trophy will be donated by
him to the first yacht reaching
Juneau in the capital-to-capi
tal race from Olympia to Jun
eau during this year’s race.
The silver cup will be twenty
inches high.
Indians and trappers of the
Dawson district, who live a life
close to nature, say that this
winter all wpather signs failed.
Heretofore the actions of the
wild animals and other signs
plain to the weatherwise have
enabled men to foretell with
some degree of certainty what
the coming season will bring
forth. This year the prophets
are completely at sea.
The marble properties at
Tokeen, which had a very
active season last year, will
not be reopened,this year, ac
cording to announcement made
in Wrangell recently. There
will be some development and
assessment work done as usu
al but there will not be any
production.
Leonard Seppala, Alaska dog
.musher, recently won the Sev
enth Eastern International Dog
Deilby a distance of 120 miles,
in three laps. Frank Dupois
was second and Emil St. God
dard was third, Quebec dis
patches report.
The provision of the Alaska
frame law which denies aliens
he right to possess firearms
without a license, may be test
ed in the district court, as a re
sult of the recent action of U.
S. Commissioner Boyd of Fair
banks in imposing a limit sen
tence of si» months in the case
of William Koroff, who plead
ed guilty to the charge of own
ing an automatic pistol. Koroff
said the weapon was not used
in hunting, however, and yas
kept at home in a drawer. £t i3
contended that mere possess
ion of a revolver does not con
stitute a violation of the game
law. Friends of Koroff find
others interested in the iqsue
are said to be raising a fun| to
carry the case to the district
court.
Thomas A. Marquam, candi
date for delegate to Congress
in 1926 ,indicted for alleged
violation of the corrupt prac
tices act. recently entered a
plea of not guilty in the su
preme court of the District of
Columbia and was given 30
days within which to consider
what attack would be made on
the validity of the indictment.
Marquam was admitted to bail
in the sum of $1000.
It is charged by the govern
| ment that during the campaign
of 1926, Marquam received
$3,000 but failed to file an ac
count of his expenditures with
I the house of representatives
within 15 days after election,
as required by law.
A bill making the Alaska Ag
riculture College and School of
Mines a real land grant college
and putting it on the same foot
ing with the government as
similar institutions in the states
was passed by congress a few
days ago and needs only the
presidential signature to be
come a law. The bill extends to
Alaska the provisions of the
Hatch, Smith-Lever act and
will give the Alaska college
at least $25,000 in additional
income annually.'

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
ESTIMATES CHEERFULLY FURNISHED
An attempt to round up the
wild descendants of a herd of
250 cattle, landed on Chiri
koff Island, off the southwest
ern end of Kodiak Island
many years ago, will be made
by a number of Montana cow
boys-this spring, under the di
rection of Charles Frye, Se
attle packer, who had the an
imals put on the island as an
experiment. Mr. Frye believes
that there are herds of cattle
on the island now as there is
much grass there upon which
to feed. He intends to bring
the bulls back to the States
for marketing. Much difficulty
in rounding up the bulls is ex
pected by Mr. Frye because
of their wildness and the rocky
shore of the island, but the
Montana cowboys are believed
to be capable of performing
the task.
Jules Marion, one of the
north’s most widely known old
timers ,was claimed by death
recently in Seattle.
Marion was a mail carrier
along the Yukon river for
many years and his name was
a familiar one among early
day residents of the territory.
Four of the finest wolf pelts
to be seen in Juneau in many
years were recently exhibited
by Charles Goldstein, fur-deal
er. Three were blacks and one
a gray pelt, the average length
of pelt for the lot being slight
ly more than seven feet. One
of the blacks measured eight
feet from tip to tip, which is
said to be a record for this dis
trict. Another was seven feet
and nine inches long. The pelts
were well-furred and prime.
Against a deficit of $151,788
in 1927 to a net profit of $781,
106 in 1928 was announced re
cently by the executive offices
of the Alaska Juneau Com
pany. This is the best showing
made in several years and the
report indicates that the out
look for the future of the prop
erty is bright.
As a result of the better con
ditions at the mine the stock
has advanced considerably
during recent months.
The Cordova Chamber of
Commerce has given its en
dorsement to a plan to reopen
the salmon hatcheries of Alas
ka and it is expected that Rep
resentative-elect Frank H. Fos
ter, of the Copper river dis
trict, will present the plan to
the territorial legislature dur
ing the coming session, with a
strong plea for funds to carry
on the work which a previous
legislature did not consider
sufficiently worth-while to
justify continuance.
The theory that a sudden
change in air pressure will im
prove the hearing was given a
test at Fairbanks recently by
Harold Anesson, who engaged
Hlpt Noel Wien to take him to
a high altitude and then dive
toward earth.
The two went up to 10,200
feet in Wien’s monoplane in
20 minutes and dived down in
three minutes. Following the
experiment it was said that
Arnesson’s hearing was better
but it will take further time
to determine whether there
>Yas permanent improvement.
The air speed indicator rested
on the highest reading—165
miles an hour—dh a good part
of the rapid descent.
