Rutan, the “Caribou Kid,” arrived at

Creek dredge. He said Fairbanks will
be a good town for the next few years.
He left Chulitna on November 10,
connecting with the Watson at Seward

his old home in Mansfield, Ohio to
see his mother for a few days. From
here he goes on to Philadelphia, Pa.,
where he will be married around Xmas

A letter was received from Charles
L. Kemp, assistant city clterk and
leading musician of Anchorage, who j
states that he is fast gaining in health
with his aunt in the Vermont Hills.
He plans on going to Florida Decem
ber 15, and from there to San Fran
cisco, Calif., for a visit with friends.
He will return to Anchorage about
April 1. He sends his best regards
to his Alaska friends: Mr. Kemp is
interested with Moose Johnson in the
Mint extension on Portage creek, in
the Chulitna district.
Moose Johnson gave a Thanksgiving
dinner party to a number of friends.
Jack Price, section foreman and Wm.
George were invited over for the big
feed. There was roast caribou heart
with sage dressing, brown gravy and
mashed potatoes, clam chowder, two
layer chocolate cake, canned blackber
ries, sweet corn fritters, hot buns,
cocoa and coffee—a fine feed for an
old bachelor like Moose to put up.
Harry Wertz and Moose Johnson
are both busy around camp getting
in wood and shoveling snow. Moose
has caught 12 mink and six weasels
since the season opened all, all dark
and prime. The skins are small but
the finest caught in this district. Moose
has out about eight miles of trap line
so far but when the rivers are frozen
over will increase the number of traps.
The Chulitna section has been dis
continued for the winter, and Jack
Price, foreman, and Bill George, his
helper, have gone to Anchorage. Mr.
Price said he would probably go into
the railroad hospital for an operation
for stomach trouble, which has both

NUMBER TREATIES AWAITING
ATTENTION OF NEW SENATE
NOW CONVENED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8. (JP)—
The World Court and the treaty with
Turkey are the principal subjects with
in the realm of foreign affairs that
awaits the attention of the new Sen
ate which convened Monday.
Both face some rather determined
opposition, but administration leaders
are confident that the required two
thirds majority for favorable action
on each can be obtained.
Under an agreement entered into by
the Senate at the special session last
March, the question of American ad
hesion to the World Court will be tak
en up on December 17, but there ap
pears now to be little prospect that
it will be pushed to a conclusion at
that time.
No definite date for consideration
of the Lausanne treaty with Turkey
has been fixed, but President Coolidge
and Secretary Kellogg desire early ac
tion and since Chairman Borah, of
the Foreign Relations committee, is
in accord with their views this matter
may be disposed of before there is a
vote on thej World Court.
Whether the question of American
recognition of the] Russian Soviet gov
ernment is to come in for any exten
sive Senate discussion is not clear.
Senator Borah is hopeful that there
soon will b'e a change in State depart
ment policy on this matter, but has
made no announcement of any inten
tion to press his resolution which
would place the Senate on record as
favoring recognition.
-Besides the World Court and Laus
anne Treaty, one other treaty—on ex
tradition with Turkey—is pending be
fore the Senate and four others are
before the Foreign Relations Commit
tee. Making up these four are' treat
ies with Great Britain guaranteeing
