Tachikawa with enough gas for
the journey, the schedule will in
clude a landing at Wenachee where
Pangborn’s mother and brother
Percy reside. They may continue
on to Boise, and also if they have

LOS ANGELES, Sept., 23. (IP)—
The proposed plan of a Finance
Committee, representing the city
of Los Angeles, calls for the build
ing of 10,000 homes by the city of
Los Angeles on lots owned by that
city’s citizens in the residential
section.
The plan would call for the
building of the homes on the pro
perty with the owner paying
nothing down, and the payment
of the home to be distributed over
a period of a number of years.
The yearly payments, it is point
ed out, would be even less than
the rent.
The Finance Committee will
* undertake only the financing of
building for the owners who have
clear residential property. If the
plan is effective, it will put thous
ands of men to work and use a
great deal of material. The plan
resulted owing to the low ebb of
home building.

FOSSIL SHIPMENT IS
SENT TO N. Y. MUSEUM
HI OH. IIES HiLICKI
Among the cargo of the south
bound SS Alaska Saturday were 37
cases of fossils gathered by Dr. Ales
Hrdlicka in his research work to
determine the origin and route of
the first Americans. The speci
mens are being shipped to the Am
erican Museum of Natural History,
New York.
It is Dr. Hrdlicka’s belief that
further research will unearth addi
tional evidence in support of this
theory. Already sufficient evidence
has been revealed to definitely con
nect the aborigines of the north
with Asia, although nothing has
been revealed indicative of efforts
to set up and maintain a definite
state of civilization such as marks
the progress of the Mayos, Aztecs,
Incas and other ethnological units,
whose history science is endeavoring
to wrest from remaining evidence
of their glory gradually being un
earthed in Yukatan. The fact that
jade ornaments were found in Cen
tral America, indicating Chinese
origin, has led many archeaologists
to believe that North America was
once bridged with Asia near the
equator.
The fact that jade deposits exist
in Northern and Western Alaska
may have some bearing on this
phase of the theory and further
support Dr. Hrdlicka’s promise that
the crossing from Asia was via Si
beria when the Bering Sea was a
land-locked body as indicated by
the Aleutian Islands.

occupation of Manchurian and

Premier Shidehara conferred
with the Ministers of War and
Foreign Affairs regarding the best
i possible way out of the situation,
j Meanwhile the major foreign

MODEST SETTLEMENT
IP BRITISH EMI!
FORT ST. JAMES, B. C., Sept.,
i 28. <7P) — A modest settlement of
i gold seekers is springing up on
| Rainbow Creek, the scene of Brit
ish Columbia’s latest gold strike.
The objective of the new rush
i is the Omineca country and there
: is now a semblance of a village
i where a few weeks ago was little
more than a wilderness of pine
trees and gravel.
The pay consists of gold in a
i fairly course black sand and as
says have shown that it contains
values of fine gold, platinum and
iridum.
A good man with a pick and
shovel can probably wash six cub
ic yards of gravel daily taking as
his pay the production of an
ounce of gold worth $16- Assum
ing it is produced from six cubic
yards of gravel, this gives a return
of about $2.65 per yard.
