that a late run would relieve the
situation, but heavy rains aided
what few fish there were to move
up the streams and no new run
appeared.
The non-arrival of the pink sal
mon has proved mystifying to fish
ery officials. According to E. S.
Richardson, fisheries inspector for
this district, all rivers in the vicini
ty urere heavily seeded with spawn
two years ago.
Various theories concerning the
disappearance of the fish are being
brought forward—some hold the
idea that the spawning beds were
poisoned by the excessive numbers
of salmon that died in the rivers
in 1930.
Alaska lies halfway on the air
route from New York to Tokio. Its
three great mountain ranges give
it mineral wealth and water power.
Its plains are comparable in virgin
value and size to the Corn Belt of
the Central States.

THE SEA WOLF
"Nature in the Raw”—as portrayed
by the noted artist, N. C. Wyeth...
inspired by the infamous Captain
Kidd’s fierce raids on the golddaden
Spanish galleons (1696), which made
him the scourge of the Spanish Main.
"Nature in the Raw is Seldom Mild”
*-and raw tobaccos have no place in
cigarettes.
No raw tobaccos in Luckies
—that’s why they’re so mild
WE buy the finest, the very finest
tobaccos in all the world—
but that does not explain why
folks everywhere regard Lucky
Strike as the mildest cigarette.
The fact is, we never overlook the
truth that "Nature in the Raw
is Seldom Mild”—so these fine
tobaccos, after proper aging and
mellowing, are then given the
benefit of that Lucky Strike puri
fying process, described by the
words—"It’s toasted”. That’s
why folks in every city, town and
hamlet say that Luckies are such
mild cigarettes.

tng a No. 1 tie to start with.
Longer Life
Under former conditions the tie
operators along the railroad did not
furnish the full amount of ties to
supply the needs of the railroad.
The annual cut was only on an av
erage of about 50,000 per year. This
was due to the fact that in Sitka
spruce ties would be accepted, and
mountain hemlock timber general
ly is hard to get and takes lots of j
work in getting them out.
The mountain hemlock ties sold j
for $1.05 for No. 1 and 90c for a
No. 2.
If Sitka spruce ties were taken
which would give an average life of j
10 years no doubt these ties
coihd be purchased for approxi
mately 80c at the railroad right of
way, and the 150,000 ties used by I
the railroad each year could be
supplied by operators along the
railroad, because Sitka spruce is
the predominating species.
If it were possible to get the rail
road to accept Sitka spruce ties, it
would supply approximately 150
men with work, create a market for
the products of three or four small
sawmills, and for the activity along
this line the railroad would receive
in return a good percentage of what
they paid out for these ties in
freight on merchandise purchased
by these operators, which would in
crease freight shipment to the va
rious towns which supply them, and
in railroad fares from the employ
ees, besides buying their ties
cheaper.

BABY BORN AT SEA
November 14 was an exciting day
at sea aboard the MS North Star,
Capt. S. T. L. Whitlam, of the B. of i
I. A., when a girl was born to Mrs.
John Olsen of Koyuk, when the
vessel was but one hour away from
Kodiak and a doctor. However,
when Kodiak was reached the phy
sician was not called because Mrs.
Olsen and babe were in excellent
condition and the mother did not
think it was necessary. And the j
next day she was up and about as ;
usual. Mrs. Olsen is on her way to j
Hoonah, in Southeastern Alaska, j
George Severson walked to the
station at Moose Pass Tuesday
hoping to come to town on the1
freight. When he got there he!
found that there was no freight so '
he started walking and arrived in
town early this morning.
