The beaver now number about 1,000, while the rabbits have increased to everal thousand since being plant- ed there in 1934 by the Game Com- mission as a CWA project. Trappers on the Island reported that red fox taken there last winter produced the finest quality of fur in several years, which they attribute to the rabbits giving the island’s famous big red fox a better food supply.”, Patrol Cook Inlet Mr. Rhode arrived at Seward, from Juneau, early in June. He was joined at Seward by Warden O'- Conner from Anchorage. Aboard the Seal they then patroled all of Cook Inlet. On July 1 they arrived at Kodiak. After circling Kodiak Island they were joined at Uyak Bay by Warden Carson, from Dil- |lingham. The Seal then worked down along {the Gulf side of the Alaska Pen- insula and out to Unalaska Isiand. Connor from Anchorage. Aboard swung back along the upper side of the Peninsula into the Bristol Bay section, putting into all points as far as Snag Harbor. From Snag Harbor Mr. Rhode and Warden Carson flew back to | Anchorage then out to Iliamna Lake. Warden Carson remained on board the Seal to return to Dutch Harbor from Snag Harbor. At Dutch Harbor the Seal was board- ed by Warden Douglas Gray, who| is now enroute back to Juneau aboard her, working back along the Alaska Peninsula. Guns Seized The Seal is due back at Juneau about August 20. Aboard the Seal are about forty guns seized for illegal possession or illegal use and a considerable quantity of beaver, fox, and other furs illegally taken and seized. During the patrol, seven or eight| cases were completed against can- nery workers caught illegally trans- porting beaver skins out of the Ter- ritory. Two cases were completed against aliens dealing in furs with- |out license, five cases of illegal| (taking of brown bear, and three aliens were convicted of taking game and fur without proper li- cense. At Naknek a jury conviction was secured by the game officers against Curly Oak, on charges of poisoning fox during the past several years in the Becharof Lake district. Strychnine poison was found in Oak’s possession. Oak, who is an ex-convict, having served a term in Leavenworth prison, was sentenced to four months in the Naknek jail and was fined $200. The Seal arrived at Snag Harbor too late to continue to Nome and to the Bering Sea islands, as navi- gation on Bristol Bay is too haz- ardous after August. this afternoon with Everett Nowell, Lisle Hebert and the Messrs. Wil- cox and Casey, from Sitka. Pilot Barr in the Bellanca hopped off at 9:15 a.m. today with John Davidson for Hirst-Chichagof, Carl Coleman, Elmer Peterson, S8am Op- ich, Tim Shea to the Apex El Nido mine at Lisianski. He is scheduled to return this afternoon. — . * ———#] AT THE HO Warren Haines, Gretchen DeLeo, Juneau; Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Yaden, Sitka; James G. Steese, San An- tonio; C. E. Jordan, St. Louis, Mo.; G.

DOUGLAS NEWS DOUGLAS CITY COUNCIL HOLDS BUSY SESSION Plans for School Approved —To Rush Completion of New City Hall T | Signing of contracts with H. B.| Foss Co. for architectural serviceon the new school building, arranging to have work on the City Hall build- ing rushed to completion, settling with McKinley Electric Co., and consideration of several other is- sues, occupied a busy session of the Douglas City Council for their| weekly meeting last night. A five percent fee for drawing the plans and supervision of the con- struction specified in the archi- tectural contract was ordered signed by the Council, three-fifths of the fee to be due and payable upon be- ginning of work on the contract and the balance on completion of the building. It was arranged that a committee of the Council, including Bonner, Cashen, Balog, Carlson, and Nunamaker, meet with the School Board and Mr. Foss this evening to go over plans for the school.

Juneau, August 11, — Sunrise, 4:11 a.m.; sunset, 7:58 p.m. WEATHER SYNOPSIS A large low pressure area covered almost all of Alaska, northern ‘;Brmsh Columbia and the northPacific Ocean south to latitude 45 degrees and west to 160 degrees with a central pressure of 29.50 inches about one hundred miles west of Prince Rupert this morning. The barometer was still high from the mid-Pacific northeast to Oregon and northern California. During the last 24 hours showers have fallen over the Alaskan Interior, over Kodiak Island and upper southeasern Alaska. Heavy rains still continued at Cordova, 4.40 inches having oc- curred since yesterday morning. This makes a total fall of 9.16 inches in the last two days. Generall fair weather was reported from the rest of the Territory. L | | €S MOMENT ing of school for the fall term was definitely arranged for by the set- tlement with Larson & Bolm, con- tractors, for something over $1900, the balance due them for work to date, being supplied by $1000 re- ceived from the School Board as part of the insurance money on thé old school building. It was| agreed to have the upstairs and two rooms of the Piremen’s quar- ters plastered as is the rest of thej building. It was brouht out that the plastering job would be some-' what cheaper than other plans. Mr. Larson stated they would be on the job today. Payment of the remainder of the McKinley bill for electrical work and materials was also authorized. Increased Bus Fares Asked A written request from Walter Bacon, of the Channel Bus Lines, was presented, asking privilege of increasing the monthly round-trip rate between Douglas and Juneau from $5 to $6. Due to increased costs of maintenance, and higher wages, against a falling off of business & |over last year. The raise, Mr. Ba- con states, was imperative, if he continues and is to be able to set up a sinking fund for replacement of equipment which so far has been impossible. Two or three coungilmen and some of the visitors spoke in praise of the bus line service and remarked about the reasonableness of the re- quest. - The Council upon motion voted to lay the matter on the table for one week. The emergency appointment by ayor Kilburn of Roy DuPree as mporary marshal durihg his brother’s incapacitation was rati- fied by the City Council. Reports of standing committees covered the situation in regard to the coal bunkers on the wharf, the streets, and about finances. To the ‘Wharf Committee was commended Weed, Calif.; Joseph Rizzardo, Ju-|the disposal of the coal bunkers on|Struggles Out of Ashes,” and show- neau; J. P. Sullins, John Renfred,|the dock.

Some change in the ordinance regulating closing hours for beer parlers was asked but, as pointed out by Mayor Kilburn, an amend- ment must first be drawn and pre- sented to the Council for consid- eration. District Attorney Holzheimer was present at the meeting among sev- eral visitors, and offered the full cooperation of his office in any situ- ation where assistance would be needed. From now on, he said, his office would see to it that rowdies and other undesirables would be kept from coming to Douglas and causing trouble. ———— MILWAUKEE JOURNAL WRITES UP DOUGLAS Under the caption, “Douglas, Once Alaska’s Biggest, Naughtiest City, | If your "Daily Alaska Empire” has not been delivered By 6:00 P.
