E. Karnes, of the Territorial Department of Educa- tion, H. L. Faulkner of Juneau and A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan, mem- bers of the Board of Education re- turned at the weck end from the Board meeting in Fairbanks. Mr. Faulkner arrived by PAA plane Sat. urday and Mr. Karnes and Mr. Ziegler came south on the Alaska, the latter going on to Ketchikan Three new schools are planned, the Commissioner reported, to be located at Aleknagik in the Bristol Bay country, at Hope on Cook In- let and at Takotna in the Kusko- kwim. An excellent meeting was held at Fairbanks, he said, and the Board was present for the Commencement' exercises at the University of AI-" aska. Mr. Faulkner commenting on the meeting and business in the Fair- banks area, said: “The members of the Board Education enjoyed their visit of in Fairbanks very greatly. Personally, I greatly profited by the opportunity to =pend a week in Pairbanks, and General Electric GIVES YOU AMAZING SPEED CALROD, General Elgetri amazing new Hi-Speed heat- ing coil, cooks as fast-as any fuel.

The victims were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Harris and their fourteen year old son, Arthur, Jr. Lack of hydrants and water forced firemen to lay 1,200 feet of hose, but to no avail. 1 think that all Juneau residents who can afford to do so should visit there. It entirely different is an country from this, with a much dif- 2 ferent climate. The: days were warm, with sunshine all the time and no darkness at night, at this time of year. The country is quite dry, and there is quite a serious shortage of water Vast Development “The magnitude of the mining op- erations being carried on in the vicinity of Fairbanks by the U. S. Smelting Company js almost as- tounding. The company is just now spending millions of dollars in pre- paring for its operations on Cripple Creek which is about six or eight miles out of town, where they are installing the largest drag line scraper in the world. The cost of the scraper alone is $240,000, and we were told that several millions will be spent before actual operations begin on Cripple Creek. There is a tremendous amount of mining ac- tivity all over the region “A visit to the district is about the only way in which a person can ap- preciate the problems of the people who live there, and while it is a long distance from Juneau, the air- plane trip is only a few hours and the inauguration of the splendid service which is given by the Pacific Alaska Airways will in a short time bring the two towns much closer together than they have been in the past. After all, we have many things in common in territorial matters, and we in Southeastern Alaska should always take a broad view in considering the problems of the peo- ple of the Interior. “The tendency on the coast is to think of the Alaska University as being perhaps ahead of its time, but it has been olished and will be continued, and it is a splendid insti- tution. Of course, it will probably have to expand more or less grad- ually and as funds are available, but 1 consider that President Bunnell has done a very splendid work there with the aid of his Board of Regents and faculty and the people of Fai banks and the whole interior count- ry.

Photographic Party Sees First Mother and Cub at Freshwater Bay After more than three weeks on Chichagef and Admiralty Islands getting motion pictures of brown and grizzly bears which will be in- corporated into the Alas Wild Life film feature being made by the Al- aska Game Commission and Biolog- 5 Photographer Joseph Yolo and his guides, Game Warden H. R. Sarber and Forest Inspector J. P. Williams, ived in Juneau 1t the week end aboard the Ranger 5. The party expects to go out again Wednesday to the east coast of Ad- miralty They saw their first bear of the season in the Freshwater Bay region on April 30, a mother and yearling cub, Warden Sarber reported, con- trary to the general theory that the male bruins come out first. In the meadows on the Southwest coast of Admiralty they saw 19 bears in four da and while they saw the ame animals many times, by actual count they tallied 31 separate bears in the little more than three weeks afield, no one of them, Wardeh Sar- ber said, which showed any indica- tion of being ugly. Yolo was able to get 600 feet of excellent bear scenes, despite delays due to bad weather. At one time they had to come down off of a mountain because it was snowing so hard. There was lots of late snow on the east side of the islands but not much |cn the western side, Sarber reported, and they saw no sign of winter killed deer, indicating the latter ani- mals had wintered fairly well. On the next trip out, the party hopes to capture two cub bears which, after being photographed, it is planned to trade to Poland for Capercaillies, or large grouse. > Mercury Goes to 70 Sunday, Warmest Day Since September Juneau enjoyed its warmest day since last September 5 yesterday when the mercury rose to 70 degrees above zero at 3 pm. a degree below the reading of September. The fine weather continued today, 64 being recorded at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but the Wrather Bureau reported it probably would be short- lived as it forecast showers for to- night and tomorrow. The excellent summer weather sent hundreds out to recreational areas, streams, lakes and salt water being haunted by fishermen, and beach cabins were virtually all oc- cupied by Juneauites taking advant. age of the good weather. —-————— TEBETH ARRIVES The motorship wsteoetn, Capt.
