Harbor improvements of a permanent needed at several places ticularly for protection of the fishing fleet. Seward needs a major harbor as well as improvement to her fishing fleet laws and regulations should be changed to make.them preferential to the residents of Alaska.

S. should have $150,- $250,000 per year to use somewhat as they the recent appropriation of along the Alaska Railroad. In addition to the U. 8. G. S. there should be an appropration of $100,000 per year spent by practical mining and prospectors to develop hard rock mines. This could be handled efther by the Alaska Railroad or the Alaska Road Commission. 7. Many trails, cabins and roads should be built to proven mineral areas. 8.

More pheasants and grouse and rabbits are needed. bearers such as raccoon, skunk and squirrel would also' live successfully in the Kenai, Chickaloon and Cordova sections.

The party consisted of the follow- ing renowned huntsmen, Harry J. Raymond, John H. King, Downey D. Muir, Robert Scott, George E Kohlhepp, Dr. E. H. Kaser and H. S. “Shelly” Graves. They planned o rendezvous near Keake and spread —— Jut over ‘the Rocky Pass country. Every member/’of the party wes.a | crack shoi and it ‘was oxpected ! that they would bring back the' legal limit of plunder. 5 | ) Thé new house beifig erected for Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Carpenter, on Fourth Street was nearly com- pletion. It was in the hands of | painters and expected to be finish- soon. It was one of the few concrete houses built in Juneau. | Plans f Elks' carnival week were attracting interest in this en- tire district and excursion parties were being formed at Skagway, Wrangell and other communities for trips to Juneau during e week.

(New York Herald Tribune.) Tew problems of ethnology are more puzzling .!hsn that of when and how the North American ‘continent acquired the Indians . That these people |were Mongolians of some kind admits of no doubt, nor that they came in some fashion across the any \ethnologist found in Asia a race precisely similar to the Indians, not even a small tribe which might be a remnant of the group of hardy migrants from |whith America’s population might be descended. A \mew viewpoint was brcught to the problem a few |days ago in London by the paper of Professor Rug- lgles Gates, distinguished expert on heredity, before |the Cengress of Anthropology. Professor Gates'’s ' method is even more suggestive than his theory, (for it involves facts and deductions never before Pacific from Asia. Nowhere, however, has iapplied directly to problems of this kind. | | These are the facts about blood types, at Jeast {four of which ‘are known in different races of man- | 1kind, distinguishable by microchemical tests an"' iperhaps divisible by still more delicate tests into |severg) additional sub-types. There is no doubt that | iblood types are inherited in accordance with reason- ably simple laws, far simpler than the laws of | jinheritance of eye or skin color, Lody shape or other familiar racial criteria. Studying all available data !for blood groupings among American Indians and {the tribes of Asia, Professor Gates concludes that {no single ancestor of the Indian exists, but that the population of America at the date of Columbus was descended, by long and active tribal mixture, from a series of small separate migrations across the ‘Pacific, coming from a considerable number of different islands or portions of the mainland and embodying different racial groups. Other speakers at the congress expressed doubts, notably Professor {Suk of Brno, who has been making similar studies fof blood groups in Europe. Yet Professor Gates's idea fits much other information and would explain many American-Indian mysteries. One puzzle it leaves untouched: that of why the Indians are red. Nowhere in Asia nor on the islands to which Professor Gates now looks for his groups of migrants does there exist a race with red skins of the Indians. Professor Herbert Fleure ascribes the Indian redness to thickening of the vellgw Mongollan skin, but this leaves _ untouched the mystery of why Asiatic skins should thicken after crossing the Pacific. A few venturesome scien- tific prophets have ascribed the reddening .to some unknown element of American food, water or climate and have predicted that the present white popula- tion gnd“m willsredden in its turn. Again, direct evidénce Is lacking. Professor Gates seems to have made a case for more intensive study of blood types land, so thne new clews perhaps may be obtained. Logse Language. (Boston Herald.)
