The item is an amendment to the Interior Department’s appropriation | bill. Senator McKellar objected to the | proposal, contending the Govern-| ment would be using money to buy | reinaeer it already owned and urged instead that the Senate approve the $50,000 House appropriation for in- vestigation of deer property pro- posed to be acquired under the Au- | thorization Act approved last Sep- | tember, The Authorization Act appropria- tions totalled two million dollars. McKellar contended the whites claim ownership of at least 250,000 deer illegally. Chairman Thomas, of the Indian Affairs Committee, asserted that development of the reindeer indus- fry was one of the means of plac- ing the Eskimos and other Alaskan natives on a self-supporting basis and said that $500,000 probably would buy up all the white con- | trolled reindeer in the Territory.

H B at the court session in Ketchikan, clurned to Juneau on the North Sea to attend to some business here ind will return to Ketchikan on the same vessel. He reported the court party would be returning here about the last of April. Ceoming to Juneau, the Marshal brought four prisoners, who had been sentenced at Ketchikan—Joe Hershey, six months and $100 fine (or assault and battery; Jim Os- walt, nine months for petit lar- ceny; John Holvik, 120 days for drunk and disorderly conduct, and Willie Rusk, 125 days on a statuatory charge. Going back to Ketchikan, the Marshal will take Alvin Merig, Harry Ek and Charles Pierce for sentence for attempted jail break here last fall. Merig and Ek were originally onvicted on a fish piracy count and Pierce for theft. Deputy Nate Hardy, who was in- jured during a tussle with a prison- er in Ketchikan, is much improved, Marshal Mahoney said, and expects to be back at his duties in a few weeks, Notice of the spring term of the Pederal Court was also received by H. B. LeFevre, President of the Ju- neau Bar Association. At the meet- ing of the Association last Satur- i noon, a resolution was passed asking Judge Alexander to call a term. The reply received by Presi- dent LeFevre said that no panel of jurymen would be called but if any attorneys in Juneau had cases ready and were willing to go ahead with jurymen from Juneau, it would be satisfactory. e - Under the Management of Charlotte Barragar and Alice Shaw TOMORROW April Sixth Channel Bus Depot LUNCH COUNTER AND FOUNTAIN SERVICE | 1 BREAKFASTS LUNCHES Completely Union Operation e age of 40 cn, the lowest d among those who ool Your kitchen is no longer just another rcem . . . it’s one of the most important departments in your entire household!
