Of the Territory.
Harry Palmer, aged 75, died
in the Cordova hospital re
cently, after an illness lasting
several years. Death was due
to dobility and old age.
Ross Kinney, superintendent
for the Alaska Road Commis
sion at Nome, has been laid
up for some time with frozer
toes, as a result of a trip of in
spection on Seward Peninsula
Partial amputations of twc
toes were necessary.
The director of the Census
has anounced that of the 59,
278 population in Alaska there
are 26,350 males over 15 year,
of age and but 14,818 females
over that age. The number ol
persons from 5 to 20 years oi
age attending school in 193C
was 9,133 as compared with
6,455 in 1920.
One thousand one hundred
and forty dollars, all in $2C
gold certificates, were found
in the pocket of an old vest
under a pile of rubbish, in the
cabin of J. T. Frazier, aged
recluse, who was rendered al
most unconscious by fumes
; from his coal stove in his home
at Juneau a few days ago, and
| was taken to St. Ann’s hospit
al. For five or six years he has
1 been receiving a pension oi
I $20 a month from the Terri
1 tory.
Reindeer and caribou are re
ported to have died in large
numbers of starvation, in the
Chignik area. The animals,
driven from the inland by
deep snow, likewise found
deep snow on the coast, and it
is said that many were seen in
holes they had dug in the snow
in an effort to reach the moss
buried under the snow. It was
also noticed that some of
them had ropes around their
necks, showing they were from
private herds.
A strange malady is report
ed to have afflicted several of
the natives of Atka. The wife
of the chief Makory Zachnerv,
was suddenly taken ill and
died. Within 24 hours after
her death her brother, Lazarc
Prosoff, who attended her, al
so died, apparently from the
ame disease. On the third day
E. Prokipioff, who made the
coffin for Mrs. Zachnery, and
helped lay her out, was also
taken ill with the same malady
and died before midnight.
There is no physician west
of Unalaska and it is not
known what this strange dis
ease is.
About 25,000 seal skins, about
three-fourths of them from
Alaska herds owned by the

morning session brought $453,
G99. Prices averaged foi
