i ¥ i CHICAGOWANTS INDIAN GROUP [ FOR BIG FAIR Ethnologist “from Chicago | University Here to Study Indian Lore ’ | A group of about 16 Alaska In-| dians is desired for the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1933, Prof. K Oberg of Chicago University told the Chamber of Commerce today. He is here to spend a year study- ing social customs and economic life of the Thlinget Indians, “To you the Alaska Indian may be nothing but a Siwash, but to the student of the East he is a member of a race possessing tha second highest culture of the early inhabitants of America,” he de- clared. Ethnologists have long recognized this fact, but some points have yet to be cleared up. It is the hope of Prof. Oberg to collect data along this line. He and Mrs. Oberg arrived last Saturday during cloudy, rainy weather and were rather over- whelmed by the neighboring moun- tains that seemed to shut in the town. They meet a pessimist short- ly after their arrival which didn't @add to their comfort. However, they are becoming acclimated rap- idly and are coming to realize that Alaska isn't such a wild place after all Last night, walking up Gold Creek Canyon, he saw an armed man watching the hillsides and was told- that he was looking for wolves. He was also informed that the hunter had just seen a brown bear and two cubs. “However, any one from Chicago shouldn't mind that,” he added.

Mr. Wright and family will leave | sheortly for the States, possibly taking a long needed rest in Se-| attle. | For many years Mr. Wright was in Skagway, and in fact grew up| there, always connected with the | jewelry business. He came to Ju- neau 12 years ago and soon after secured his present location on | Front Street. By a business deal, Mr. Wright] secured the location where he has been doing business from Mr. Nel- son who formerly conducted a gen-| eral men's furnishing store. Now, Mr. Nelson is back again in the same location but with a different business to conduct. Mr. Nelson promises the same excellent service to Juneauites and the tra\c!lngl public as was given by Mr. Wright.

Other passengers in the alrcraft were ‘Mrs. Carman and James Carlson, taxicab owner. Work Stars Immediately Tomorrow or Saturday, the plane will take workmep, tools and food to Lake Hasselborg, and the task of erecting the first cabin will be started. It will be constructed of logs and will be ready for occu- pancy in a week or ten days. As soon as it is completed, work on another will begin. “The cabins will not be put close together,” explained Mr. Hayes. “They will be separated by dis- tances of a mile or several miles, 50 all outing parties may enjoy plenty of seclusion. “Numerous fishing parties - have been taken in planes to Lake Hasselborg in the past few years, but lack of shelter and other ac- commodations have prevented per- sons from staying there more than a few days. Many of the visitors said that they would like to have made protracted stays either for {bunting .in season or . for fishing if accommodations had been avail- able. Will Be Enlarged “The accommodations we shall offer. in the beginning will be increased and enlarged when war- ranted by demand.” Mr,, Carman_and’ Mrs. Carman on two . occasions: since: their ar- rival here several weeks ago have enjoyed outings at Lake Hassel- selborg, having provided them- selves- with a tent 'and ‘camping | supplies.

Camera-Shooting Brownies Incidentally, he added, there was the brown bear, subject of contro- versy. He placed him as another park asset, comparing him to the Yellowstone grizzly, and saying he would be a great tourist attraction even if it were necessary to build wire entanglements from which they could be shot with cameras In the month of August they could be photographed in large numbers in the spawning streams. | No other reference was made to the brownie which was the origin of the movement for a Chichagof Tsland National Park. Some two years ago, Mr. White sensationally charged that the Alaska Game Commission had removed all pro- tection and later put forward his suggestion for a bear sanctuary on Chichagof Island which has evolved into the national park idea. Promote Yacht Cruises Mr. White, as a pioneer in the yacht cruises here, offered a time- ly suggestion as ‘to a method of stimulating such cruises and mak- ing them more popular. Many yachtsmen, he said, regarded.Alas- ka waters as dangerous and fear to navigate them without a pilot familiar with them. He, himself, has no fear of them, but, owing to accidents which have happened, | probably, he said, when their navi- gators were “soused,” others do. To set them at ease, he suggested the organization of an Alaska Pi- lot's Association, a dummy organ- |ization that could be directed by |the Chambers of Commerce, listing |the names of all competent men capable of piloting yachts through the Southeast Alaska waters. Tt |would be a remunerative business for those engaged in it and increase very largely the number of visiting yachts each year. Through his writings, personal | contacts and talks at various yacht clubs, Mr. White said he had been one of the main' factors in the present: yacht travel northward. Given Cordial Reception One of the largest gatherings to attend a Chamber luncheon this year greeted Mr. White. Tt listened to his arguments with deepest at- tention and accorded him enthusi- astic applause when he had con- cluded. Joseph Howell, guest aboard Mr. White's yacht and a big game e | hunter and out-of-doors lover . of note, of Pasadena, heartily endorsed his friend's viewpoint and support- ed his arguments as to the eco- nomic wisdom of national park cre- !ation from a community standpoint. As an adopted son of California, he was able to testify that the tourist crop is the cream. “A tourist who leaves home for his vacation with $500 in his pocket feels it has been a failure if he has more than taxicab fare left ‘when he gets back.” iastic over the plan to build cabins there. ‘The accommodations to be pro- vided by the Airways at the Lake will be a non-profitable incident of the flying businéss. No gain-is expected from the habitations. The only benefit to accrue to the Air- ways will be the encouragement the cabins will give to flying. The lake cannot be conveniently reach- ed except by airlane. Chinese Rebels Have Captured Tsangchow TIENTSIN, China, July 30.—Reb- els under Gen.

Miles_D-oesn't Know for Several Hours of Close Call Whilé R. D. Miles of Juneat’ was side of Mount Juneau off the Basin Road yesterday evening, a bullet'from a{ s high powered rifle creased the top of his head. He was not aware of his narrow escape from death until a few hours later. Mr. Miles remembers reaching for a particularly fine cluster of berries and his next recollection is of being on a bed at his home with Dr. L. P. Dawes and Mrs. Miles standing nearby with looks of concern on their faces. Mr. Milés cannot recall any pain resulting from the bullet or how he arrived home from the hillside. Mrs. Miles was not at the house when he reached there. The shock caused by the bullet grazing the skull rendered Mr. Miles unconscious. The ‘supposition is that the person who did the shooting — possibly mistaking Mr.’ Miles for a bear—conveyed the senseless man home. The fact that he . was - unable to give any id- formation about himself leads to the inference that the person who fired the rifle must be an acquaint- ance of Mr. Miles. “Judging from all ‘the circum- stances, the bullet must have been ' discharged from ' a high-powered weapon,” declared Doctor Dawes. “If the missile had ranged one inch lower, it would have instantly kill- ed Mr. Miles. It went through his hat” and just- touchéd the top of his head.” —————— ARE MARRIED HERE John W.
