H OF INDIAN
ms OFFICML IS
MB SUn TRIP
On his first visit to Alaska, David
A. Thomas, chief of the Alaska
section of the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs with offices at Washington,
D. C., arrived in Seward today on
the SS Alaska from Juneau. Mr.
Thomas was met in Seward by Ar
thur H. Miller, superintendent for
the Bureau at Anchorage.
Mr. Thomas is making a survey
of the Indian Bureau’s Alaskan field
work and hopes to be able to visit
Central, Western and Southwest
ern Alaska on his present tour of
the Northland. He has already
spent seme time in the Southeast
ern Alaska district.
The two Bureau officials will
leave on Saturday’s train for An
chorage and Eklutna where they
will visit the Eklutna Industrial
School. From Eklutna, they will
return to Anchorage and there Mr.
Thomas hopes to take an airplane
and fly to some of the outlying
points along the Kuskokwim and
Yukon Rivers. He said that it was
doubtful whether or not he would
be able to visit the Seward Penin
sula country on this trip.
Mr. Thomas stated his present
trip to Alaska would take about six
weeks and when he has visited asj
many of the Alaskan sections as
time permits, he returns to his j
Washington office. He said he had
enjoyed the Alaska scenics en- j
countered in his travels so far and |
said he hoped that his visits to Al- j
aska will be made annually.
Mr. Thomas’ particular work at
Washington is the preparation of
estimates and appropriation fig
ures and the presentation of these
to the Budget Committee. His pres
ent trip is for the purpose of famil
iarizing himself with the needs of
the Alaska service of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs.
Mr. Miller, who is superintendent
of the Westward districts of the
Bureau, will return to Seward from
Anchorage in a short time and will
visit Kodiak. He hopes to be able
to catch the next vessel leaving
Seward for the Westward.
RETURNING TO SEWARD
It is understood that Mrs. Jack
Prosser, who has been sojourning
in California for several months
with her daughter Viola and son
Seward, will be a returning passen
ger on the steamship due in Sew
ard May 12. Mrs. Prosser will bring
her young sen with her, but Miss
Viola is staying in Los Angeles in
definitely. Mrs. Prosser will arrive
in Seward in time to witness the
graduation from the local high
school of her daughter Ruth.
POLAR BEAR ARRIVES
The MS Polar Bear, Peter Wold
and C. E. Anderson, master, ar
rived in Seward from a trip to the
Westward Thursday evening. The
Polar Bear went as far west as
False Pass where the Father Hub
bard volcano exploration party was
left. Enroute to False Pass, the
vessel stopped at Chirikof Island
where a cargo of supplies was left
for Jack McCord. Stops were also
made at various other Westward
points. A rough trip was reported
on the way back- Just before com
ing into Seward, the Polar Bear
stopped at Nuka Bay where a pas
senger was taken aboard for Sew
ard.

GUNN BUCKINGHAM IS
MUG HIS SEVENTH
GAME HUNT IN ALASKA
Gunn Buckingham, widely known
Memphis, Tenn., sportsman, ar
rived in Seward today with his
guide, Russell Annabel, enroute to
| Anchorage, where he will outfit
j fcr an extended trip with pack
| horses into the Rainy Pass and
Tonzana Basin country. This is
| Buck’s seventh successive year in
Alaska and he plans to make it a
banner one, his intention being to
spend six months in the field—
hunting, fishing and making pho
tographs of big game.
The party, according to Buck’s
present program, will spend a few
weeks hunting black bear in the
Chugach north of Anchorage, and
then, when the snow is out of the
high Alaska range passes, will ship
down Cook Inlet to Old Tyonek,
striking out from there for the
Rainy Pass via the Skwentna River.
Buckingham, a mighty hunter
from a family of mighty hunters,
has about graduated from the big
game hunter’s class into the realm
of full-fledged explorers, and i
claims he would rather pitch his
I camp in an unspoiled valley and
sit on a rock and look at game with
his binoculars than chase out over
the hills with a rifle to see how
many kills he can make in a given
time. Alaska would welcoome more
sportsmen of the same calibre;
they are, unfortunately, all too
rare.
At The Gateway office today he
said he would probably remain in
the field until snowfall made it
necessary to return with his horses
to the railroad, and that he would
come out either by way of Tyonek
or through the McKinley Park.
Mrs. Ed Dodd of Egegik, who was
so ill at her Westward home that
it was thought necessary to send
a plane there and bring her to hos
pitalization, is said to be much im
proved now.
The ice in the Bristol Bay area
is now breaking up and the rivers
are said to be running ice. The
waters around Bristol Bay area are
filled with huge cakes of ice and
pontoon landings in that area by
planes are said to be very haz
ardous.

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don’t lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimist's who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!
