BURDICK BOUGHT 82,538 REINDEER AT $3.98 APIECE Praise from Congress- man and Ickes ernment from non-native owne: | under the Alaska reindeer act num- | bered 82,538 and were acquired at an average cost of $3.98 apiece, ac- cording to the report of Charles G. Burdick of Juneau to Secretary Ickes, } Title to all non-native owned | reindeer in Alaska, except for about 1,000 which must be ob- | tained by condemnation proceed- ings, now rests with the Federal Government, the report states. Burdick found that there were considerably fewer deer than had been seen in the summer of 1938. The reduction was the result of losses to wolves and severe weather in the winter of 1938-39. | Money Left Over | Of the $720000 appropriated by | Congress for the purchase of the i reindeer, Burdick turned back to the Treasury an unexpended bal- | ance of $274,083.28. An article in the Congressional | Record of July 1, by Rep. Edward i T. Taylor of Colorado, Chairman of the House Committee on Appro- ! priations pays high tribute to Bur- | dick (“who has displayed admirable and soundness o 4 v YOUR CURLY LOCKS Need Special Attention Under Summer Sun! OIL SHAMPOO will add al- luring lustre to your whole & energy, discretion appearance. It will make of judgment”), to J. Sidney Rood, vou feel fresh and alive Reindeer Superintendent, and to Delegate Anthony J. Dimond (“who by reason of his marked ability and unquestioned integrity, enjoys ' {he respect and confidence of every | member of this body. In this, as in all other matters, Mr. Dimond | has served well his Alaska con-| stituents.”) Taylor said that throughout the entire transaction everyone had been dealt with equitably and that | there had been no disposition on & the part of anyone connected witn| the Government to “get something for nothing or to take advantage of superior power or position.” | TR Reloced S| i > roud of Outcome | - “Mr. Speaker, I have served long | 00K R&b 1 lAS |in this body and I take what I, conceive to be a just pride in the| CAN BE_YOURS House of Representatives and in Spring-Air Mattress REBUILDS the | its accomplishments., During my tired body and revivifies the mind. , | period of service here I have been Enjoy it yourself, through the ex- | privileged to participate in the en- traordinary comfort features which actment of a very large number no other mattress can give you — | of measur not only of great pub- features which have made Spring- |lic interest, but of outstanding pub- | Air the choice of the finest homes. |)ic penefit, measures which tended | greatest hotels, and health institu- | (, |ring some degree of security| tions of America. - iti or peace or happiness to the citi- $28'50 zens of our country.

Citing recently uncovered jour- nals of an explorer as conclusive | authority, James Alton James, Dean Emeritus of the university’s graduate school and formerly Chair- man of the history department, said the purchase of “Seward’s Ice- box” from Russia in 1867 was not merely a lucky deal for the United States arranged “unwittingly” through a politician’s self-interest, as imputed by some historians. Potential Wealth “Seward was not primarily moti- vated by thoughts of aiding him- self politically,” Dean James said, “put by his knowledge of Alaska’s potential wealth” disclosed mainly through the explorations of two members of Northwestern's staff.” The Dean’s investigations were served by the finding of five jour- nals of Dr, Henry M. Bannister, one of the explorers, in the home of his daughter, Miss Ruth Ban- nister of Evanston. The journals, together Alaska Reindeer Service, who acted in close cooperation with Mr. Jur- duck throughout the uuquismuf’ tivities during the past winter and made available to Mr. Burdick at all times his knowledge of the reindeer situation in Alaska, in- cluding his acquaintance with botn nonnative and ‘natjve yeindeer owners and herders, transportation facilities, grazing areas, etc.” e - Characters to Be Announced For Comedy A meeting of the Juneau Drama Club will be held at 8:30 o'clock to- morrow evening in the Catholic plans for the three-act . play “Second Childhood” will be dis- cussed.

Dr. James said that Kennicott obtained important information concerning trade at Fort Yukon in commodities such as fur and fish. Dr. Bannister, who became the second Curator of Northwestern's museum, was in charge of one sec-| | tion of the later Kennicott expedi- ' tion, and made valuable observa-| tions of climatic and economic con- ditions. | He returned to Washington, the Dean related, and supplied Seward |and Charles Sumner, Chairman of | the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations with additional informa- tion about Alaska. | It was after Dr. Bannister had| told his story, Dean James said, that the Senate, with only two dis- senting votes, decided to purchase Alaska for $7,200,000. | | Kennicott, TO TAKE TRIP | ABOUT ISLANDS Three Juneau business men m‘e: taking time off for the next few | weeks to cruise leisurely about the | nearby islands and fish for trout | or salmon when the spirit moves. | Those to be envied are Si Glockle, Earle Hunter and J.
