is to have available for their use

expressed their interest in weaving
if the classes can be started. It
was also decided that the Ceme

could get some one to clean the
Cemetery and repair the fence.
Rain this past week brought a lot
of water to Haines after a summer
of drouth. In fact there was so
much that the approach to the
bridge at 35-mile was under water
and trucking and cars over the
highway were stopped for a few
days. However, at the time the
road is again passable and a load
of lumber left Haines.

TRUE GANG STORY
OF EARLY DAYS IS
AT CAPITOL SHOW
Out of the dramatic pages of the
breakup of the great Western range
lands, doomed by the opening of
the Oklahoma Territory, has been
fashioned a raw and raging film,
crowded with dramatic incident and
violent action, in Columbia’s “The
Doolins of Oklahoma.” The James
Boys and the Dalton Brothers have
been pictured in films; now the true,
unvarnished story of the Doolin
Gang has been brought to the
screen, opening yesterday at the
Capitol Theatre.
Randolph Scott is starred in this
super-Western as Wild Bill Doolin,
while capable assists are rendered
by George Macready, Louise All-1
britton, John Ireland, Virginia Hus
ton and Charles Kemper. Doolin be- (
came an outlaw when his friends,
the Daltons, were betrayed to the
U.S. marshals. He gathered around
him as desperate a crew of buckos
as ever put saddle to ht>rse. Riding
hard and shooting straight, they
robbed banks, way-land stagecoaches
and even looted a train.
Scott, as the cowboy turned out
law, makes a vigorous leader of the
gang. Macready, as his antagonist,
delivers an assured portrayal of the
steely, determined marshal; Miss
Allbritton makes an attractive dance
hall girl in love with Ireland, one
of the Doolins; Miss Huston is
properly wistful as Scott’s wife,
while Kemper makes a colorful out
law.
Gordon Douglas’ direction stresses
the action in the taut and crackling
script by Kenneth Garnet. Harry Joe
Brown produetd the Producers Ac
j tors Production for Columbia re

"Missing" Soldiers
Found in Slates;

_ i
FORT LEWIS, Oct. 2—tfl—For

eas. The Defense Department re- j
ported him "missing” Sep*. 21.;
Hospital staff members declined I
to disclosg the nature of Mat- j
thews’ hospitalization but said his j
condition was "not serious.”
Wednesday, a Defense Depart
ment casualty list carried the name
of Cpl. Lee Briley, son of Mrs. Dor- !
othy Briley of Elkhart, Ind., as
missing. The parents, however, al
ready had heard from their son
three weeks earlier. He had been
discharged July 12, married and
is working in Tacoma as a civilian.

Allen Hasselborg
Says Bear Stories
Don't Need Dressing
Bewhiskered. black-hatted, red
booted, twinkle-eyed Allen Hassel
borg was in Juneau yesterday on
one of his rare trips in for winter
supplies—and he couldn’t get out of
town fast enough. He has lived at
Mole Harbor on Admiralty Island
for the past 33 years. Some say he is
90 or 100 years old. He admits to
75. “Not that it matters much,” he
said.
Allen thrived about the same time
that Inez Gregg of the Baranof
Book Shop received a book shipment
containing a number of copies of ^
“Hunting American Bears” by
Frank C. Hibben. which is dedicated
“To Allen Hasselborg, of Admiralty
Island, the one human who has
come the closest to knowing all there
is to know about bears, this book is
affectionately dedicated.”
When your reporter stalked and
cornered the old bear hunter, he
apologized for not removing his hat
saying, “If I take it off, I might
forget it and I don’t want to lose it.
I’ve had it since 1913 and I like it.”
Hibben’s book contains four chap
ters on Ha.sselborg’s bear adven
tures, one of which appeared in a
nationally popular man’s magazine
about a year ago, entitled “One Bite
is Enough." This particular story re
ferred to a bear as “must be 16 feet,
perhaps a record.” As a result the
old Alaskan received and is still re
ceiving much mail, most of which
says, “Isn’t that an awfully big
bear?"
Tfe this Hasselborg answers, “Take
a nine-foot bear, that is nine feet
from nose to tail. That’s a lot of
bear, and when he stands up and
looks down at you, you gotta figure
he has at least four-foot hind legs
he’s standing on . . . and that’s a lot
more bear, especially close to you.”
“What’s wrong with bear stories,
Mr. Hasselborg?”
“Everything! But they tell me
they have to dress ’em up to make
them interesting—as if the truth
isn’t interesting enough!” he snorted
through his beard.
Continuing with a mellow gleam
in once-hard eyes he continued,
“Because writers wrote such crazy
stuff about me, I didn’t give any
interviews for 20 years and was
pretty critical of the things I read
about bears. But it doesn’t matter
any more. Anything goes. I’m just ■
getting too old to be critical any j
more.”
With that he departed for Beh- j
rends store where he’s outfitted for ]
years, not before imparting the in- J
formation that he first came to ,
Alaska about 1898. aboard a cod j
fishing vessel on which the rest of
the crew had been shanghied out of
San Francisco. “I was too dumb to
be shanghied,” he confided, “because
I wanted to come to Alaska.”
After two years in the cod fish
eries he landed in Juneau about
1900. He explored Admiralty Island, !
liked the place and in 1917 settled
there.
Today he left in his 16-foot skiff
with an outboard motor and hopes
he won’t have as much trouble going .
back as he had coming over. It’s only '
a long daylight run—if everything
goes all right.

BOOTHS BUILT TUES.
FOR ANNUAL BAZAAR
SCHEDULED FRL, SAT.
An army of construction workers,
armed with hammers and saws, will
invade the Parish Hall Tuesday eve
ning and under the direction of
"Hank” Harmon construct the
booths and in general prepare the

zaar.

Parish Hall promptly at 7:00 p.m
It is hoped that the job can be

Harmon, “are the willing hands. If
we have a large turnout. I’m sure
the work will be finished in just no

CHILKAT BLANKETS
ARE BECOMING MORE
DIFFICULT TO GET
Rare Chilkat blankets are be
coming rare, Don L. Burrus, man
ager of the Alaska Native Arts and
Crafts clearing house here, revealed
today. There are only four carfts
men who still make them. The old
er women of Klukwan Village near
Haines—Mary Willard, Jennie
Thlunaut, Mrs. Annie Klaney and
Laura Hotch.
"If some members of the younger
generation do not learn the art
soon, it will disappear en'iroly,”
Burrus said.
The blanket is made of moun
tain goat wool, inner part of yel
low cedar bark and sinew. The
bark* covered with goat wool is
the warp and all the weaving is
done by hand. The w'ool from
three to ten goats is needed in
the making of one blanket.
The warp of the blanket is never
colored. The three colors used for
the woof are black, yellow and
bluish green. The colors are al
ways soft. Black is prepared from
hemlock bark or black mud from
certain springs, boiled with hemlock
bark. Yellow comes from sehony
moss, a lichen, and the blue-green
is made by the use of copper ore.
The design is always conventional
and the weaving is done according
to a pattern board which has been
kept in the family for generations.
The figures are similar to those
found on their carved boxes, masks,
and on the great doors they used
to place before their homes. The
central part of the blanket bears
the totemic figure. Eyes, nose,
mouth and sometimes the feet,
occupy their proper places, while
the rest of the body is often not
seen. Many of the figures on the
sides have no meaning but are
placed to give design and richness
in color effect.
The blanket was used in cere
monial dances and at funerals.
When a blanket was used in a
dance, it became the property of
the clan.
The Tsimpslan Indians of Bilt
ish Columbia were the first makers
of this type of blanket, but today
the four Chilkat women at Kluk
wan are the only makers of i\
The Chilkats are a tribe of the
Tlingets.

MUSICAL SHOW
PLAYS TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
The management announces a
special one day showing of the pop
ular musical show, “You Were
Meant For Me," at the Gross 20th
Century Theatre for tonight only,
j Tuesday and Wednesday, “The
Arnelo Affair.” starring John Ho
diak, George Murphy and Frances
Gifford has been scheduled for the
120th Century.
Beginning on a note of terror, this
unique story maintains a mood of
suspense that will have audiences
sitting on the edge of their seats
throughout every second of its
thrilling and terrifying action.
How a young housewife, lonely
and bored with her humdrum exist
ence, is strangely attracted to the
mysterious underworld leader Tony
Arnelo, forms the basis for the in
triguing adventure.
The conflict between Tony Arnelo
and the woman’s husband; the
struggle of the wife to overcome this
strange nnd awesome fascination;
the breathtaking climax when the
husband takes the law into his own
hands—these combine to insure one
of the most exciting motion pictures
to come out of Hollywood in a long
time.
