TANANA, July 30. (JP)—'The gas
boat Martha Angeline, in charge of
Doctor Curtis Welch, operating on the
Yukon river in connection with the
bureau of education and medical ser
vice, returned here Monday. Dr.
"Welch reports a few minor cases of
measles among the natives along the
river were the only important ail
ments. The boat went as far as Stev
en’s village where they expected to
get an additional supply of gasoline.
Unable to obtain any they were forced
to return to Tanana. In a few days
the boat will proceed down the Yu
kon, stopping at Nulato, Holy Cross
and Andreafski, where the doctor will
leave the medical boat and take a low
er river boat for St. Michael, thence
to Nome for the winter.
BEAVER 01 HELPS
CONTROL OF LICE
FIRE IN FOREST
RANGERS RIP HOLE IN EMBANK
MENT RELEASING TORRENT
OF WATER
ST. PAUL. July 30. (£>)—Because
-water from a beaver dam enabled
desperate forest rangers to extinguish
a stubborn forest fire, a new and
staunch friend has been added to the
beaver family’s long list of Minnesota
admirers.
Ranger Mike Guthrie told how after
a two-day battle his crew had sub
dued a three-mile long fire, with the
exception of a stretch along a ravine,
when the blaze showed signs of again
escaping control.
Noticing the dam a short distance
above the burning ravine the rangers
ripped a hole in the embankment and
released a torrent of water that soon
made history.of the fire.
The frightened family of beavers
witnessed destruction of the para
dise which they had labored months
in building. But the fire fighters had
scarcely gone when the industrious
little animals set to work to repair the
damage.
“Now,” Guthrie reported, “the bea
vers have patched their dam and are
none the loser for having lost the
supply of water. This confirms my
belief that no beaver should be taken
except in most extreme cases.”
Don’t overlook the Liberty The
ater for tonight.
