Vigorously using the pruning
knife, the National House of Rep
resentatives sliced off $595,000 from
the funds for Alaska’s forest high
ways and trails for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, next, says the
Juneau Empire.
Under the provisions of the an
nual supply bill of the Federal De
partment of Agriculture, the Alaska
allotment for the next fiscal year
.s fixed at $350,000, and it is ex
pressly provided that not more
than that amount may be expended
from the appropriation for that
period and any balances left on
hand from previous appropriations.
The amount fixed was $505,000
.ess than the estimates approved
by the Bureau of Budget. Alaskan
National Forests were the only ones
for which Congress fixed the allot
ment. The committee report did
not disclose the reason for this ac
tion.
So far as could be learned in
Juneau, Congress has never before
interfered in the allotment of the
Federal funds made available for
forest highway construction. The
division between the several Na
tional Forest districts has always
been made by officials of the De
partment of Agriculture.

FORMER LOCAL LADY
PASSED AlAlfi! SEME
The sad news was received in
the last mail from Seattle of the
passing of Mrs. V. H. Peirce, for
mer Seward resident but for the
last few years, of Fairbanks.
Mrs. Peirce died at 6:50 a. m. on
Sunday, February 14, in the Vir
ginia-Mason Hospital, following an
operation and removal of the gall
bladder. Mr. Peirce said that his
dear wife was then seized by an
attack of pneumonia and did not
have the strength to combat it
Mr. Peirce wrote that aside from
a cousin in Seattle, and a few
Alaskan friends, there are few he
is acquainted with. He had ex
pected to bury his beloved in a
Seattle cemetery.
His movements after the funeral
were rather indefinite but he said
he might take a trip to the tropics
and spend a brief visit with a sis
ter before returning to Fairbanks
in the spring.

there was no fire; neither was
there any water. Everybody was
therefore hap. Oak!

PRIBILOF FOX TAKE
FOR 1931 IS LARGE
Eight hundred and eighty-one
' fox pelts were taken on the Prib
' ilof Islands by employees of the
; Bureau of Fisheries in December,
according to the service bulletin
for January that has just been re
leased by that bureau. Blue-fox
pelts numbered 857 and 24 were
white foxes, says the Juneau Em
pire.
Most of the take was made on
St. George Island where 624 blues
were trapped and pelted. St. Paul
Island operations yielded 233 blue j
and 24 white fox pelts.
These figures, the Bureau said,
indicate a satisfactory condition of
the fox herds on both Islands. For
the corresponding period in 1930,
the total number of fox skins taken
was 541, cf which 199 were obtain
ed from St- Paul Island and 342
on St. George Island.

ALMOST GOT HER
To a passing stranger, whose
ldentiy is unknown to her, Mrs. L.

her life, says the Empire. The man

fumes from a coal stove filled the
room

±HEY were talking
ABOUT SMOKING . . . whether girls
should or should not smoke; but it
came out that all three of them had
been smoking for a long time.
They were asking each other what
made a good cigarette. And after dis
cussing one thing and another, they
agreed that a cigarette should he milder.
They thought also that it should taste
just right—that is, not over-sweet, but
on the other hand, not bitter—just
sweet enough.
And everybody, they said, wants any
thing that is placed in the mouth just
as pure as can be.
Then they began to think what ciga
rette, if any, filled this bill; and agreed
that CHESTERFIELD teas milder—
tasted better—and was pure. The girls
were satisfied, because "They Satisfy.”
