WALCOTT URGES NATIONAL PARK AT GLACIER BAY Most Logica_lgle in South- east Alaska, Says Sen- ator Promising Aid (Continued from Page One) tenance of a healthy supply of all of them is sound, and suited to the needs of a frontier country such as Alaska is.” Overshooting Of Moose “There is evidence of a great overshooting of ‘moose in central Alaska, between Fairbanks and the Alaskan range and from McKinley Park east to Blackburn, and part- icularly in the Delta River country,” the Senator asserted. The supply can only be built up by regu- lating hunting and number killed. “The game along Richardson Highway should be rigidly pro- tected on both sides of that route because of its appeal to tourists. This class of travel is bringing a great deal of ready money into Alaska and it is more easily thrilled by the sight of wild game along the roads than by anything else,” he said. -~ Park Natural Reservoir “McKinley Park will serve for all time as a reservoir of Wwild life, protecting indefinitely large num- bers of Dall sheep, of caribou, and the mountain grizzly, which is entirely a different species from the coastal grizzly. This Park will eventually produce for Alaska a large amount of tourist revenue.” Commenting on the fur supp]y of the country, Senator Walcott said: “It is difficult to make any accurate statement about the Ter- ritory or any given section as to its fur resources. This is because the supply varies almost exactly as its own food supply does. And as that' is largely composed of rabbits, and the latter is subject to a cyclic epidemic ‘every seven to ten years, we supply fluctuating accordingly. “Even the grouse may be af- fected by this epidemic. There- fore, great discretion must be used ‘in building up the fur sup- ply in any given section immedi- ately after one of these disastrous epidemics. Sees Notable Progress In summing up his general im- pression of the Territory, citing the many evidences of substantial de- velopment, noted by himself and his companions on their tour which has stretched. to. something like 6,000 miles within the Territory, Senator Walcott said: “I feel that Alaska while still a wilderness empire, has made more progress economically in 30 years than' New England did in a cen- tury; and that with the sympa- thetic and practical co-operation of the Federal Government, which is still essential, she will eventually fulfill the dreams of the wildest enthusiast. “1t will take time, patience, mon- ey and the same pioneer spirit which has been used thus far, to bring abeut this destiny,” he con- cluded —— CITIZENSHIP I8 OCSTLY ATLANTIC €ITY, N J.,, Aug. 17. —Being _an ‘American citizen has cost W.

Parks to Be Guest on Yacht Walronda in Glacier Bay Cruise | Will the retreat of Grand Pa- cific Glacier eventually give the Dominion a Canadian port in, the heart of the Alaska panhandle? | This has been the principal topic of conversation among glaciologists who visited the territory this sum- mer and the point has not been | relegated into the discard yet. Ru-| mors that Canadians contemplate the establishment of a tourist re- sort at the head of Grand Pacific Inlet have been rife of late. | The question was put to J. P. Forde, divisional engineer for the department of Public Works of Canada, who arrived in Juneau saturday afternoon aboard the Canadian yacht Walronda, Capt. H, Alden, from Victoria, B. C. “We have had our eyes on Grand Pacific for some time—since 1825, what use we can make of ' the three-quarters of a mile of land which retreating glacier has left for us is yet to be determinedd’ Glacier Quits Alaska During the summer of 1925, a party of surveyors found that Grand Pacific Glacier, which has been trying for a goed many years to decide whether it wanted to be} an Alaskan or a Canadian glacier, | had finally made up its mind to change its nationality. It has now withdrawn almost a mile from the International Boundary Line, giv- fng Canada a port of entry to northern British Columbia. “The Canadian government hasl withdrawn this strip of land from the public domain,” Mr. Forde said. “We don't know what use we can make if it, as the country beyond it is practically unexplored. It is doubtful, however, if we can ever use it as a means of ingress to the Whitehorse country—thére are too many ice “fields and high mountain ranges.” Gov. Parks a Guest W. A. Gourlay, senior engineer for the department of public works‘ of Canada, Mrs. Gourlay and John | Yarrow, of Yarrow, Ltd., shipbuild- | ers of Victoria, are Mr. Forde's| guests on the cruise. Mr. Yarrow is the grandson of Alfred Yarrow, the inventor of the torpedo boat | and the torpedo boat destroyer. Gov. George A, Parks has ac- cepted ' Mr. Forde’s ‘Invitation to) accompany the party on the Wal-! ronda on their cruise to Glacier! Bay. P. R. Bradley, of the Alas-| ka Juneau Gold Mining Company, and H. Wheeler, superintendent of | the White Pass and Yukon Rail-| road, also will be guests. The Walronda was scheduled to; sail at noon today, to be gone about a week. — FOUR TOLEDO BANKS CLOSE | TOLEDO, O., Aug. 17.—Four banks in Toledo with resources to- taling more than $100,000,000, closed their doors today. - Eleven savings associations ceased payments after steady withdrawals. —————.———— HITTING UMPIRE IS LEGAL ATLANTA, Aug. 17—A ball- player socking an umpire is not disorderly conduct.

DISTINGUISHED TRAVELERS ON PRINCESS BOAT European Visitors Aboard Princess Alice on Special Cruise With a cosmopolitan passenger list which included travelers from Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Canada, the Hawailan Islands, and practically every state in the Un-: ion, the Canadian Pacific coast liner Princess Alice, Capt. 8. K.| Gray, arrived in Juneau at 8:45! o'clock Saturday evening on a spe- cial British Columbia and "Alaska | cruise.

Several hours were spent at Ketchikan be- fore cruising through Behm Canal. No stop was made at Wrangell, but | this historic town ‘will be a point| of interest on the return trip, aft- er touching at Skagway, where the passengers will' make the rail trip to Whitehorse, and at Sitka, where they will see relics of the Russian occupation of Alaska. Distinguished Visitors Among those making the spe- cial cruise aboard the Princess Alice were Dr. R. A, Bermann, a journalist from Vienna; Mr. H.

In “The Bride of the Regiment” a spectacular all-technicolor light opera with excellent comedy, Louise {Fazenda turns songster. She sings The | nothing but comic numbers. popular comedienne appears as an Italian servant. Miss Fazenda proves that her versatility is not confined to panto- {mime, but also includes use of her | voice. “For The Defense” “For the Defense” featuring Wil- liam Powell and Kay Francis, is a story that deals with a phase of metropolitan life with which every- one Is familiar. Powell is seen as a phenomenally successful lawyer, who defends doubtful persons from the machinery of the law, and who wins case after case in spite of the suspicions levelled against him by the Bar Association and the Police Department. ‘One of the thrills of the film is the scene wherein Powell demon- {strates his daring by dashing a bottle, supposedly containing nitro- glycerine, to the floor of the court- room. He shows himself to be not only brilliant and crafty, but courageous as well. Faces Hard Problem But the time comes when he is confronted with a problem which is too mueh for his cleverness, His actress sweetheart is confronted with a life-term for manslaughter. Powell is defending her. He learns, too late, that she is guilty. There is one way to save her—he must “take the rap” himself. What hap- pens is the big climatic moment of the play. Kay Francis is the actress-sweet- heart. Scott Kolk turns in a good performance as the soclety idler who tries to take her from Powell. William B. Davidson is the district attorney and Thomas E. Jackson is a shrewd detective. - 3,000 WAITED FOR POLICE NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Four au- tomobiles, 12 detectives and 18 po- licemen answered a pay car holdup flash in the Times Square subway. ‘They found a towel coin bpx brok- en open and 3,000 persons awaiting their arrival. e Old Papers.a¢ ‘Che mnu-a “TOMORROW’S STYLES TODAY” x’; COATS,— Genuine Chinchilla, Tally-Ho, Camel Tuft. hnndred per cent’from a stylc and wear standpoint. caps to ‘match. vance Fall Informatzon To the Mothers of Juneau and vicinity we take great pleasure in announcing the fact that we will carry a full line of Chil- dren’s and Juniors’ Schooel Clothes.
