On the 15th the Sisterhood
gave a dinner to raise funds for
sick benefits. Following the din
ner several games at cards were
played and the entire evening
was enjoyed. Regular meetings
are being held by the Skagway
Helpers and efforts are being

The new government wagon
bridge here under construction
by the Wright Construction Co
is almost completed. The bridge
will be a fine addition to the
town.
Locomotives of the White
Pass & Yukon Railroad damaged
by fire last winter are being
overhauled and repaired. One
engine is now completed and
the rest of the engines will be
completed during the summer.
Town activities are very quiet

cf the future and look for a fine
summer.
The following are officers of
the Skagway Helpers: President
Samuel C. Jackson; recording

The famous painting, “The

BEAVERS AID FISH
CULTURAL WORK

The bureau of fisheries of the
commerce department recom
mends the protection of beavers
as an aid to fish cultural work
where damage to timber does
not occur and water tempera
ture is not too high. The ten
dency of beavers to create poo’s
behind their dams in mountain
streams increases the abun
dance of plant and insect food
available for the fish in a speci
fic stream.

WHALE TRADE
PROVIDES JOBS
Indicating a revival in the
whaling industry in the North
Pacific Ocean which will give
employment to more than fifty
men, four steel whaling vessels
will sail from Seattle about May
10 for the American Pacific
Whaling Company on a four
and one-half months voyage to
the Kodiak Island area.
It is the first time in two years
that the company has sent out
a fleet but is the eighteenth year
the company has operated.
The vessels are the Patterson,
87 feet long and 119 gross tons,
Aberdeen 88 feet long, the West
port 80 feet long an dthe Moran
87.3 feet in length, and are now
undergoing inspection and re
pairs at Houghton.
Crews for the vessels will be
hired during the next two weeks,
it was announced.
The company will operate a
station on Kodiak Island under
the supervision of Henry Schupp,
brother of W. M. Schupp, presi
dent of the company.

According to press reports, an
appeal for permanent cancella

lease, now held jointly by the
Columbia River Packers’ As
sociation and the Barfcey Pack
ing company, will be forwarded
in a brief to the war depart
ment, according to an announe
ment made by ex-governor A. W
Norbald, who is representing tne
fishermen and the Union Fish
ermen’s Co-operative Packing
Company. The announcement
was made in conjunction with
an investigation conducted by
Colonel H. H. Pritchett for the
war department.
The packing companies have
asked for a reduction in their
lease price, which is now $37,

leases be cancelled and not
opened again to bids.

STEAM ENGINE LATEST
POWER OF AIRPLANES
-x
Steam propulsion for airplanes
!and automobiles was brought a
step nearer realization by the
successful testing of a compress
ed superheated steam vapor
motor invented by M. J. B. E.
Gangler, a Luxembourg en
gineer.
The new motor differs from
other steam engines in that its
vapor is surheated to obtain a
force of 15,000 h.p. from a motor
weighing five tons and occupy
but 200 square meters. The best
marine steam engines in opera
tion today require an installa
tion of sixty tons and 1,100
square meters to obtain 15,000
horsepower.
One of the advantages of the
steam motor over present in
ternal combustion engines for
plane propulsion is that it is
fireproof. The new motor burns
a low grade of crude oil which
is not inflammable unless mixed
with the proper amount of air.
The force of the steam is in
creased by superheating to 500
degrees Centigrade and it is then
sent through the turbines.
When applied to automobiles,
the new motor will permit con
structors to eliminate both
clutch and gearbox, one control
arm being sufficient.
With the superheating of
steam, the new motor can be
put in operation immediately, so
that it is unnecessary to main
tain steam during any period of
halt. This is claimed to allow a
great saving when applied to
ships, which must keep up steam
even in port.

MEDICAL WORK FOR ALASKA
Dr. F. S. Fellowes, Medical
Director for the Indian Depart
ment for the Territory has re
commended that a nurse be
I stationed at Haines and Kluk
wan, Ketchikan, Saxman and
[Kasaan. When nurses are as
signed these stations, Southeast
Alaska will be fortunate in hav
. ing a complete medical service.
I Petitions of the Alaska Native
Brotherhood for a hospital at
Sitka cannot receive favorable
I recommendation as the Govern
ment cannot maintain hospitals
in every town. Miss Lila Broug
her, R. N., however, is stationed
at Sitka to supervise the health
activities of the Bureau.
Lack of funds prevents ar
rangement of contracts with
doctors in Wrangell and Ketchi
kan. The appropriation for the
Indian Bureau work in Alaska
was curtailed $40,000 this year
over the recommendations of
the Budget Committee. This
necessarily forces curtailment of
all operations in Alaska. For
this reason it is not to be ex
pected that there will be much
change in the medical service
except as above noted.
We can’t cry ourselves out of
the present depression—but per
haps we can laugh ourselves out
of it. Even better, if the elector
f.te will express in on uncertain
terms, the fishing interests
might because of the force of
opinion, give greater considera
tion to the need of employing
local labor.
