FUR-TRADE EXPOSITION INCLUDED SPECIAL
EXHIBIT
With the United States standing as the leading fur
producing and fur-consuming country in the world, it
was entirely fitting that the Congress of the United
States, by special act, enabled this government to par
ticipate in the International Fur-Trade Exposition and
Congress held in Leipzig, Germany. It was the purpose
of the exhibit to present all aspects of the fur industry
that representatives of all countries should be better in
formed Will respect to the source of supply of furs as
well as with the nature and extent of the commercial
manufacture of raw furs into finished wearing apparel,
both in this country and abroad.
Frank G. Ashbrook, in charge of the Division of
Fur Resources of the Bureau of Biological Survey, was
made commissioner general to represent this country
at the exposition and congress. The Office of Exhibits
of the Department of AgricultUi i cooperated not only
with the Bureau of Biological Survey, but with the De
partment of Commerce in designing and constructing the
material that formed the governmental parts of the gen
eral exhibit. These comprised readily grasped statistics
on the commercial aspects of the fur industry in con
tinental United States and the Territory of Alaska.
Mounted specimens of native wild fur bearers were
shown in natural habitats as well as on fur farms. Mo
tion pictures, lantern slides, transparencies, charts and
pther forms of visual information were prepared in a
manner that fully illustrated every phase of the fur
industry.
A large number of persons interested in the various
angles of fur production and utilization, viewed this
country’s exhibit. As a result of their studies and their
reading of literature distributed by the Department’s
representatives and other in attendance, they have been
placed in a better position to arrange their transactions
with fur-animal breeders in the United States, manu
facturers of fur garments and fur exporters. A special
publication, prepared by the Biological Survey and the |
Office of Exhibits of the Department of Agriculture and
the Bureaus of Fisheries and Foreign and Domestic
Commerce of the Department of Commerce, containing
a foreword by the Secretaries of the two departments,
was issued in both English and Genuan editions to sup
plement the government’s exhibit.
While the exhibits of many countries demonstrated
the commercial phases of the fur industry, that of the
United States stressed methods of conservation of the
fur bearers and of production and utilization of fur.
Participation by the United States in this international
exhibition should have a salutary effect 6n the fur in
dustry in this country.
COME AGAIN, MAYELL AND DARLING
Newsreel men Mayell and Darling of the Fox and
Hearst organizations, who have just completed sound
pictures along the railroad belt, have performed one of
the greatest pieces of publicity the Territory has ever
received; a world audience totalling millions will review
them in the months to come. To the organizations and
to these men, The Gateway extends appreciation and in
farewell, doffs the well known derby.
The long faces noticed on local children's faces dur
ing the past week has been caused by realization that
vacation days are about over and next Tuesday, back to
the school rooms. Cheerio, kiddoes, you'll be glad some
day.
Monday, September 7, is Labor Day, so we’ll labor
some more.

NEWSREEL RECORD OF I
IUSU COMPLETED '
FOR FOX AND HEARS!
Thirty-five thousand feet of news
reel covering the Dawson, Nome
and the Alaska Railroad belt, as
well as the Valdez area, were ob
tained during the three months
Eric Mayell, cameraman and Oscar
Darling, sound engineer, Hear&t
Metrotone News and Hearst Movie
tone News, spent in the Northland. '
The Newsreel men returned Thurs
day from the Interior and are en
route to Seattle on the SS. Yukon,
thence to their New York offices.
For the first time in the history
of Alaska “talkie” newsreels have
recorded a section of the Territory’s
scenic appeal and, due to special!
portable equipment, it was able to
use planes ir\ the work; on the
Mount McKinley expedition their
planes rose four -miles in the air. j
Also, because of planes, spectacular
pictures were obtained among
which that of Columbia Glacier
and Mt. McKinley rank supreme.
Mr. Mayell stated planes literally i
saved them months of time and j
that Alaska airplane pilots are!
comparable to the best in the j
the States.
Mr. Mayell also took occassion to j
comment on the many courtesies
extended to Mr. Darling and him
self especially that of the Coast
Guard and of Colonel Otto F. Ohl
son, general manager of the Alaska
Railroad. Everything possible was
extended for both their comfort and
their tasks .These manifestations J
were highly and sincerely appre
ciated.
Just a week ago last Saturday, in
two planes, Darling with Chief Pi
lot Joe Crosson of the Alaska Air- j
ways, and Mayell flying with Pilot,
Ed Young of the same company,
soared into the skies, up and over
Mt. McKinley which height is of- j
ficially placed at more than 20,- j
000 feet. Darling’s plane flew about!
100 feet over the top while that of I
Mayell’s owing to the heavy equip- |
ment, could not quite reach the
apex. Excellent pictures were pro
cured of not only North America’s j
tallest peak but also of the innum- i
erable glaciers, smaller mountains
and wild game in the National
Park.
The men were warmly clothed i
and at no time uncomfortable
though the minimum temperature
registered 10 below zero. The high
altitude brought slight headaches.
Darling, while over McKinley, drop- j
ped a can in which had been
placed a piece of leather upon [
which had been burned the names
of the cameramen, pilots and other
data.
A system of signals was previous
ly arranged between the two pilots
so that while on the epoch flight
unison was maintained. Slight al
terations were made in one of the
planes to accomodate the camera.
The pilots and passengers took
physical examinations prior to the
hop; this, in compliance wth De
partment of Commerce rulings. 1
JUNEAU ACCIDENT
After hearing several witnesses
in Juneau, none of whom had ac
tually seen the accidental killing
of Ruth Peterson, 8-year-old step
daughter of Ed. Anderson, of Ju
neau, a coroner’s jury returned a
non-committal verdict. It found
that “Ruth Peterson met her
death by being knocked down by
an automobile driven by Robert
Murphy.” Irene, an 11-year-old
sister of Ruth, also suffered in
juries but continues to show im
provement, says the Juneau Em
pire.
Juneau Democrats met recently
to formulate plans for strengthen
ing the party organization and
to talk over the political situation
generally, says the Juneau Em
pire. Ways and means of bring
ing Alaska safely into the Dem
ocratic fold next year was also
to be discussed.
