The Bureau of Fisheries reports
J that the 355 whales taken in Alas
. kan waters by two whaling stations
during 1930 yielded products worth
$470,265, making the value of each
whale more than $1,300- Whale
oil, sperm oil, fertilizer, pickled
meat and whale bone were the
commodities secured from the ani
mals, says the report. The section
of the report which deals with Al
askan whaling follows:
The Port Hobron and Akutan
stations of the American Pacific
Whaling Company were again op
erated in 1930. Seven steam whal
ers were used, and employment was
given to 190 whites, 14 natives and
two Japanese, a total of 206, or a
decrease of 27 from the number
reported employed in the industry
in the previous year. The whales
taken consisted of 50 finbacks, 191
humpbacks, 78 sulphur bottoms,
and 36 sperm whales. This is a
decrease of 30 from the number
taken in Alaskan waters in 1929.
The products of the whale fish
ery consisted of 816,700 gallons of
whale oil, valued at $371,276; 121,
150 gallons of sperm oil, valued at
$45,431; 815 tons of fertilizer from
meat, valued at $40,750; 355 tons of
bone fertilizer, valued at $10,650;
37,000 pounds of pickled meat, val
ued at $1,850, and 5,600 pounds of
whale bone, valued at $308, a total
value of products of $470,265 and
a decrease of six per cent from 1929
when products were valued at $502,

With various requests for the es
tablishment of new postoffices in
Alaska, the novelty is now present
ed of the Postmaster at Dan Creek
in the Nizina River country, asking
that this office be discontinued. II
is represented that there is prac
tically little business transacted al
this office, as a satisfactory auto
mobile road has been constructed
from Dan Creek to McCarthy, from
which point it is easy to secure the
mail by the prospectors and mining
operators, and at which point they
do their trading.

The U. S. Civil Service commis
sion has announced a competitive
examination to establish a regis
ter of eligibles from which ap
pointments are to be made to the
positions of master carpenter (shop
and construction work) in the 16th
lighthouse district, Alaska, as va
cancies occur.
Applications will be received up
to April 9, 1932. Further informa
tion concerning this examination
can be obtained and application
blanks may be secured at the office
of the superintendent of light hous
es, Ketchikan.
Survey, has written a brief account
of his studies in glaciation in Al
aska. He predicts a possible re
currence of a further ice-age in
the distant future, which he ex
plains would require only a lower
ing of temperature between 10 and
20 degrees. He says: "It is prob
able that in Alaska, as in other
parts of the world, there have been
recurrence glacial periods from
mid-Paleozoic time to the present.
This was to have been expected,
for unless the earths poles have
wandered much farther than has
been determined, the high latitude
of Alaska would always have fav
ored'glaciation there as compared
with more temperate lands. Fur
thermore, for much of geologic time
there have probably been high
j mountain areas in Alaska, and in
■ these areas local glaciers might
have been fostered even when gla
ciers could not exist in the low
lands.”

William MacDonald, a building
contractor from St. Louis, is now
in Washington trying to get some
concession in freight rates on the
Alaska Railroad, through the Sec
; retary of the Interior. He secured
j the contract for erecting the Fair
banks Federal Building, his bid be
ing $392,000, but now he is in doubt
as to whether he wants the con
tract. In making his estimate it
seems he was misinformed by Out
side persons as to the freight sched
ule on reinforcing steel shipments
i which is much higher than he fig
ured on. The Delegate is assisting
him in trying to have the mattei
adjusted with the Railroad, for il
MacDonald does not go ahead with
the contract, delay will result be
cause bids would have to be ad
vertised for again and possibly the
.specifications changed somewhat
The next lowest bid was by Sev
erin & Co., of Chicago, whose fig
ures were $422,000. While $450,00C
was appropriated for this building
but $404,000 was allotted by the
supervising architect for the gen
eral structure, the balance to be
used for furnishings, etc. The
Fairbanks people are quite anxious
to have construction commencec
and the Chamber of Commerce k
doing what it can to get the dif
ferences adjusted.

LOCAL MAN MISSING
Apprehension is felt for the safe
ty for Bill Rose, who has been em
ployed as a steel sharpener and
rock driller by the Alaska Road
Commission in Moose Pass. Rose
arrived in Seward last Thursday
and was last seen on Friday, when
he announced while sitting in the
Northern that he had come in to
secure dental service. Since then
no trace has been had of him.
The winter garments on the Ar
cade fountain were discarded to
day and the water turned on. Once
again the spray is being wafted on
warm breezes.
Mr. and Mrs. Peter H. Peterson,
former Seward residents, send their
regards to friends here from their
present home at Port Townsend,
