FUSE S [ S S A S b st RPN SR ' ffom an altitude of ACQUISITION OF PANHANDLE IS DISCUSSED Liberal Says Canada Could Pay Big Sum for Part of Alaska VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 9—Ac quisition of the Alaska Panhandia by Canada might easily ‘be ac- complished through arbitration in line with the post-war attitude of equity among nations, Ivan Mac- Kenzie, Liberal, suggested in the Provincial Legislature. This suggestion was made dur- ing the discussion of the resolu- tion introduced by H. F. Kergin requesting the Dominion Govern- ment to open negotiations with the United States with a view of acquiring the Alaska Panhandle. MacKenzie pointed to recent Ia- ternational settlements of boun- daries in Europe which differed materially from previous bounda- ries, as a precedent for arbitra- tion over the desired portion of Alaska by Canada. -He said the Capadian Government could weil afford to pay for the Panhandle as much as the United States paid for the whole of Alaska.

The decision won for the Gov- ernment the most important vic- ry it has yet scored in the con- proceedings and upheld the tion of District Attorney yton Gordon that shadowing alone constituted an offense ‘against the Government. —— PLANE DROPS 1,000 FEET; AIRMEN DEAD SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 9—Lieut.

ACTION GAME COMMISSION IS DELAYED {No Defimte Dec:smns Made Pending Arrival Reed and Close Public Hearings No definite action in regard *» territorial game regulations has been taken so far in the fourtn annual ssion of the Alaska Game Commission, mow meeting ‘In Juneau, pending the arrival next week of Irving McK. Reed, {member of the Commission froi the Fourth Division, and the clos- ing of the public hearings now being held daily, it was announ:- ed by C. T. Gardner, president, today. The date for the closing of the public hearings has been set for next Tuesday, Feb. 14, but it is hoped they may be ended by the last of the present week, it wus said, as after the arrival of Mr Reed the Commission will be ex- tremely busy in completing the work before it. So far only one person, Carl Lottsfeldt, has appeared before the Commission at a public hear- ing, and his presence was on In- vitation of the Commission. No criticisms or recommendations have been received from individu- als. Governor George A. Parks con- ferred with the members of the Commission yesterday afternoon when a general discussion of the Alaska game situation and regula- tions was held. One of the most important points brought up during the coa ference, it was said, was the pos- sible ill effect on wild animals, enpeclully mountain sheep and |goats which habitat the high |places, from airplanes. The pos- sibilities of injury and death to the animals and especially the young, from fright of the noise of the planes, and that the animals might leave of habitation, thoroughly. As a resuic the discussion dviators, hunters and residents 'n ithe game areas of the westwatd and interior district will be askel were gone on wild animals and report their findings to the Commission. It is expeoted the study may take two or three years in order to gain definite information. 1 it was pointed —out that the Commission in no way thinks of interference with commercial fly- ling in the territory. It has beea {learned that in some sections Iplans are to transport big game hunters to the hunting grounds by airplane and the Commission is making arrangements to make such a study as a measure of pro- tection to the preservation of wild game reglons if necessary.

F. Pollard, his mother, was prepar- ing a turkey in the Pollard home at Red Lodge in southern Moa- tana, and found eight gold nug: gets, containing approximately 30 grains of gold, in the gizzard of the Christmas dinner. News of the find was soon out and was printed in many pape:s in the States and sent out over the Associated Press, Mr. Pollard said. A check-up on the turkey showed that it came from the ranch of Paul Cartwright, about two miles north of Red Lodge. Investigations of geologists re- vealed that the ground on which the ranch was situated was of placer content and a miniatuie gold rush started immediately for the scene of the “Diggin’s.” In the little town of Joliet anothor turkey's gizzard contained oae lone nugget,while the ranch owner declared that’ in the east, people receiving his birds, had undoubt- edly thrown gold nuggets into ash cans and what not.
