Your Home Do not be one of the army of home owners who in a few months or a year will regret that they delayed remodeling or repairing their home —when prices of materials and labor were low— in 1931, A few dollars invested this year in the improvement of your home will pay big returns in comfort—and reduce to a minimum the de- preciation on your property. Whether your ideas and plans constitute a big job or a small job of remodeling or reapir,. we are organized to quote you lowest prices on the job—and guarantee complete satisfaction. Tell us to make estimate. No charge for such service. Customs officials, headed by M. S. ‘Whittier, Assistant Collector of Cus- | toms. The contraband was con- | fiscated and one of the vessel's |crew was fined $100 for illegal possession. The officials poarded the craft at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, half an hour after the boat had |tied to the D. B. Femmer wharf,| | her usual mooring place. All pas- | sengers had disembarked. so none| of them was subjected to investi- | | gation or questioning. ! | Ownership Nov Determined ‘ The search was continued for two hours or more. All but a few| | bottles of the liquor were found in places not occupied by any of the ]shlp's company as sleeping or living| quarters, and ownership could not be determined. The member of the crew who pleaded guilty to possession and| who was fined by United States| Commissioner Charles Sey admit-| {ted ownership of the small amount' | of liquor found in his quarters, but | said it was for his own use. He| ! disclaimed any knowledge of the !rest of the contraband. | The theory of customs officials is that the liquor was carried |aboard the Northland when she |called at Prince Rupert, B. C, to ;dmhnrge fish on her last voyage jsouth to Seattle from Juneau. | Inquiry by Captain | Capt. Leonard Williams, master jof the Northalnd, will conduct an ‘mqulry to determine if possible {ownership of the contraband li- | quor. | “Executives of the Northland | Transportation Company, owner of :the Northland are very much op- . posed to traffic in liquor by crews lon company ships,” the Captain H “I have taken every pre- | | declared. caution to enforce obedience to (the dry law.

On several occasions, | he warned he was not speaking for publication, indicating what he had to say was for the benefit of !zhe legislators and not for general circulation. Though his work is only half complete, he had no hesitancy in saying the present system is almost ineffective in every particular, The teachers are poorly trained or not trained at all; leadership in them is lacking; the building program is inadequate and improper; the turn- over in teachers is appallingly high; 76 percent; the organization is lack- ing in public support; and the remedy is seen in a recognization with provisions for increasing the| annual budget two and one-hal times its present size to $2,500,000. Social Problem Looms A word of serious warning was voiced by Dr. Anderson on the so-| cial problem of the future. The, Eskimo is a vanishing race, he de-| clared, and his place is being tak- | en by a race of hybrids, half- breeds. wise leadership takes hold of the situation in time, he asserted. Fear of extension of clzmnsmpz was expressed. That is one of the | things most to be feared as far as| three northern divisions are concerned, Dr. Anderson empha-| sized. Two or three times he stress- ed that his work had not embraced Southeast Alaska and his conclus- | lons, therefore, could not be applied to this section at this time. | Questioned by members of the! Legislature on the advisability of | consolidating Territorial and In-| dian schools, Dr. Anderson was most emphatic in his declaration that such a policy should not be| even considered at this time. !

Teller District, to include herds of Wales, Shismaref, Teller, Igloo No. 1 and 2. b Golovin District, to include herds of Golovin, Council and Tubuk- toolik. Nome District, to include herds of Nome, Douglas and Sinroek. Egavik District to include herds of Egavik, Shaktoollk and Koyuk. Herd Superintendts «Mr. Baldwin said each district “should have a herd superintenden: trained in animal husbandry, with executive ability, responsible to the Board of Managers representing the herd owners. Each herd superin- tendent should create an organi- zation responsible to him, probably from the owners within the dis- trict, sufficlent fo handle and care for the herds.” Bearing of Expenses Mr. Baldwin further said the “salary and expenses of the herd superintendent, the wages of his employees and the herding expenses will be a charge upon the entire herd within his jurisdiction. One- half should be based and appor- { ttoned upon the number of adult |temales handled and the remain- ing one-half ypon the number of animals butchered. Such charges shall be a lien against each owner- |ship and deductible against the 1first returns available from the products thereof ,unless sooner paid in cash or services. “In each district the fences, cor- rals and range cabins, by whomso~ !ever owned, will be available with- out charge in the herding and round-up of the herds. Any addi- tional herding facilities necessary will be constructed at the expense of the herds and apportioned and payable as in herding expense.” Mr. Baldwin said “The Alaska Livestock and Packing Company ihas deer in each of the districts |set forth, with corrals, abattoirs and cold storage facilities; valued at. cost, less proper depreciation of 5 per cent per annum.” Selling of Deer Mr. Baldwin, in giving further testimony at the hearing and dis- cussing handling of the deer for market sald the deer slaughtered will be consigned by the Alaska Livestock ‘and Packing Company to the Lomen Reindeer Corporation, Seattle, for sale, that a charge of $1 per head for such deer butch- ered, be allowed, for the use of the company’s slaughtering and cold storage facilities deductible from the proceeds received from the sals of the deer. Mr. Baldwin said the Lomen Reindeer Corporation will make available for the reindeer products so produced its sales organizations {in the states, acting as sales agent. Proper books of account of ex- penses will be maintained open at all times to the properly accredited representatives of the Alaska Live- stock and Packing Company and the herd superintendents. Chairman Kendrick, commenting on Mr. Baldwin's proposal, said it was the best solution of the rein- deer industry submitted. ——————— LEGION OF THE MOOSE Regular meeting of Legion of the Moose No. 25 will be held Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock in Moose Hall.
