event of a war with a far east
ern country it could base its air •
planes on Alaska and from that
point fly up and down the Paci
fic Coast. Plans must provide
for an extensive base in Alaska,
which is now totally defenseless,
it was said. This base would
consist principally of fighting
planes as the Territory is so vast
that anti-air-craft artillery
would not be of any value. The
Army also plans the massing of
more anti-air-craft artillery
weapons at the larger cities.
The newspapers are now tell
ing of the exceptional adventure
that involves 3,000 reindeer and
a handful of hardy Laplanders
and Eskimos. It is expected
that these reindeer will be deliv
ered next year in good condition
to the Canadian Government, at
the delta of the Makenzie River,
after travelling through the En
dicott mountains and along the
legion of the Colville River val
ley or beyond, on the southern
Coast of the Arctic Ocean, and
has but a few hundred miles to
go ere its destinations is reached.
The stake is nearly $200,000,
which Canada has contracted to
pay upon delivery of the herd.
Slow as the journey is—it
started from Western Alaska in
November, 1929—it is in purpose
a race to save the Canadian Es
kimos from starvation. Canada
will use the herd to propagate
a food supply which will replace
the schools of whales depleted
by years of hunting. The route
covers 1,000 miles of almost un
imaginably wild country thru
mountains that only flyers have
traversed before. And as the1
herd moves only in winter over
the frozen Arctic, speed is out of
the question. Thus far, the drive
has weathered several terrible
blizzards without being deci
mated. In fact, because the herd
does not move in fawning time,
births have far exceeded deaths.
It is expected that shortly af
ter the middle of September,
Charles W. Hawkesworth, Acting
Chief, Alaska Division, of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, will
come to Washington from his
Juneau headquarters and aid in
the preparation of the budget
for his department. Dr. W. A.
Borland, health officer at Ka
nakkanak, who is now in Seattle
receiving medical treatment, is
also expected in Washington
about the same time in connec
tion with matters concerning his
official work.
An important announcement
just been made by the Secretary
of the Interior that will have be
neficial results to the natives of
Alaska. Dr. Frank Samuelson
.Fellows, Past Assistant Surgeon
of the U .S. Public Health Ser
vice, has been detailed to the
office of Indian Affairs to act as
District Medical Director for
Alaska. His headquarters will be
at Juneaif and he will sail from
Seattle shortly after October 1st
for his new location. This then
will be the first time in its his
tory that Alaska will have a su
pervisor appointed by the Fed -
eral Government to direct the
program of health work among
the natives for the entire Terri
tory. Altho the new appointee
is but 32 years of age, he already
has had a wide experience in the
Public Health Service, having
served at Chicago, Norfolk, Ne.v
York, Seattle and Portland.
Much of the time of Dr. Fel
lows will be spent in travelling
over the vast northern country
by airplane, boat and sled.
Among the diseases particularly
prevalent among the natives of
Alaska are tuberculosis,trachoma
l and pneumonia. Hereditary dis
eases are common and the white
man has also contributed, thru
his contact, certain diseases
which were unknown to the na
tive, of which there are about
30,000 Thlingets, Aleuts, Atha
pascans and Eskimos. They live
in small villages varying from
thirty to forty people to four
hundred, and are distributed
along thousands of miles of
coastal range and along the
great rivers. In this vast ter
ritory the Government has six
(hospitals, ten physicians, and
thirty-four onuses.
To the natives and white men
scattered along thousands of
miles of the Yukon River,'a me
dical boat furnishes the only
means of medical and dental
relief. During the summer
months of each year, this boat
cruises along the river as far
as the Yukon delta with a phy
sician, two nurses and a dentist
on board. Their work includes
the care and feeding of children
and the care of the sick, per
forming operations and trans
porting a limited number of pa
tients to the hospitals at Fair
banks and Tanana.
With large areas in Alaska
suitable mainly for timber pro
duction, a present utilization of
but a fraction of the actual and
potential annual forest growth, a
variety of species with a large
range in properties, and an a
bundance of water power and
timber resources favorable to
pulpwood development, increas
ing economic forest development
is presaged for the Territory, ac
cording to the Forest Service, U.
S. Department of Agriculture.

The fishermen are pretty mucn
disgusted with their fishing sea
son. The traps did fine—but
not many residents own or can
own traps. The earnings of the
j fishermen were so small that it
could not be decently called wag
es. It portends a long, cold and
hard winter. Most of the Native
families have put up plenty of
their native foods but even at
that, not a few will be hard put
to get the staple necessities such
as milk, sugar, flour and the like.
News from Metlakatla now is
