| Having completed a survey ol
i the conditions in tne interior vai
leys adjacent to Cordova, Dr. W.
H. Chase, physician with the Oi
' lice of Education, announced in
| the Cordova Tunes that conditions
! in the Chitina area had greatly
; improved for the Indians.
The Chitina Indians, Dr. Chase
| said, are living in more adequate
! and sanitary quarters than ever
before, have plenty oi food, and
are advancing rapidly. The addi
tion of a trained nurse to the staii
there lias shown that when given
| proper assistance these people wn,
| advance rapidly.
Betweem Copper Center and
i Gulkana, however, conditions are
not entirely satisfactory, for where
they found only one case of desti
tution in Chitina, many were re
ported hi the Gulkana area, where
lack of food, shelter and clothing ;
were apparent The government'
has made provisions, however, to j
care for these people
Dr. Chase with A. H| Miller, ex- j
amined sites for the proposed hos
pital for the Chitina Indians, and
announced that $5,000 for this unit j
had been included in the present;
budget.
Mrs. W. P. Burgan of Cordova,
received the sad news, by cable,
that her mother, Mrs. P. W. Akles
of Decatur, 111., passed away re
cently. reports the Cordova Times.
A SUGGESTION
Look at the bottom of your
shoes; if worn or thin, have them
half-soled. It may prevent a hos

OUTLOOK GOOD
The outlook for the Gillam Air- \

year appears exceptionally good,!
according to Mr. Gillam, with the |
company adding needed equip- j
ment to its fleet of planes, and
preparing to handly passengers
and freight from the interior di
rectly to the coast as well as from
point to point in the interior as
was done last year, reports the
Cordova Times
But two persons were fatally in- '
volved, while riding as passengers |
in an airplane engaged in schedul- <
ed operations during the last six
months of 1930, as compared with
22 in the same type of service dur
ing the previous six-month period.
No trace has ever been found of

SEND SAMPLES AND PRICE
Anyone, or any group of Alaskans, who can assure quantities of
Alaskan commodities suitable for export purposes, are asked to get
in touch with the undersigned.
There is a tremendous market awaiting Alaskan products in the
Orient and it is the ambition of Mr. Kawabe to have, within the next
few years, such a business underway. lie believes it will require that
length of time before the necessary tonnage of 1,000 tons per ship
ment from the Port of Seward, can be assured.
Numerous local inquiries have been directed to Mr. Kawabe as to
311st what his plan was; it appears his first announcement which has
been appearing in The Gateway for the last week, was not quite
clear. Briefly, Mr. Kawabe desires samples of Alaskan products—any
kind which may be produced in quantity; the samples must be ac
companied by the lowest figure which the item can be supplied. Both
the sample, be it various grades of salt fish, grains, kelp, coal, etc.,
will be forwarded to the Orient where agents will endeavor to find
a demand. If there is a market for certain of these samples and the
price is satisfactory, orders will be sent Mr. Kawabe and it will be
up to him fill it.
The skeptical will no doubt say there isn’t a chance to develop
such an export trade from Aalska bat not only Mr. Kawabe and
others connected with him locally, but prominent Japanese officials
are greatly enthused over his proposed plan. Believing that unless
Alaskans themselves develop the Territory’s resources, 20 years from
now, or more, will see but little progress, is the thought behind Mr.
Kawabe’s entire plan. He is looking toward the industrial Alaska of
the future. He is visioning a bigger and better Alaska for alL
