CAPT. RALPH GROSVOLD
Sand Point, Alaska.
(By Special Correspondent)
The busy shipping season of Un
alaska is now commencing. Dur
: ing the month of May the first
Coast Guard cutters of the season
arrived—the Tahoe in command
of Captain Towle, and Montgom
ery, Captain Wilson. Captain John
Boedeker has been assigned com-j
mand of the Bering Sea patrol and j
will probably remain ashore for!
most of the summer.
The much needed and very we*" j
come dentist also arrived on the,
“Tahoe,” T. J. Pyle, D. D- S. The
two above mentioned cutters will
be followed by the familiar Haida
the Northland in order to continue j
i already has visited here on two oc- j
casions this year, the first time on j
behalf of the disabled M. S. Eunice 1
and again to bring Dr. F.S. Fel-:
lows, medical director, Office of
Indian Affairs, who is on a trip of
inspection and to choose the site
for the new hospital at Unalaska.
He expects to await the arrival of
the Northland in order to continue
his journey farther north.
It is just beginning to be gener
ally understood how much of
; worthwhile interest the Aleutian
! Islands holds for the scientific re
I searcher. On May 1 the Tahoe
! brought to Unalaska Dr. Eric Hul
| ten. a well-known Swedish scien
1 tist. He is desirous of studying
! the flora on the Aleutian Islands as
far west as Attu. He expects to
find similar plants to those grow
. ing on the Kamchatka Peninsula
| where he spent several years in an
absolutely uninhabited portion of
this eastern hemisphere, gather
ing much valuable data on the flo
ra of that country, classifying
plants, flowers and shrubbery
hitherto a matter of confusion and
speculation to all scientists. In
cidentally, while occupying the
major portion of his time in bo
tanical research, Dr. Hulton did
considerable exploratory work in
this wild and unhabited region,
giving to science information re
garding the volcanic condition of
the interior of Kamchatka Penin
sula. From these years of faith
ful study and research Dr# Hulten
has compiled four large volumes,
profusely illustrated, of the name,
origin and character of the flora
of Kamchatka, which will be used
as a basis for textbooks for the
schools and universities of Sweden
and America. Having traveled in
many places of the world and be
ing able to speak ten languages
j fluently Dr. Hulten is exceptional
! ly interesting and can relate his
j varied experiences in a most amus
ing and graphic style.
Dr. Hulten is accompanied by W.
Eyerdam. whose special study is
conchology. He has contributed
some very valuable collections of
shells to various museums thru
out the United States.
On May 9 the U. S. S. Gannett,
navy airplane transport and sur
vey ship, crept unostentatiously
into Dutch Harbor and the two
airplanes it carried now are giving
thrills to everyone as they circle
in and about the harbor- Up to
this time the whirr of an airplane
was unknown, except on the one
occasion when the Russian fliers
stopped for a few hours on their
way to Seward. But to have two
planes flying around like birds
day after day is a marvel beyond
description tiq thet^hilctren and

Lieutenants Rowe and Harrell, etj

chor and steam away to continue
their work in other ports.
After much pleading, entreaty
and veiled coercion on the part of
District Superintendent G. R.
Gardner, Office of Indian Affairs,
and Teacher S. C. Hanson, regard
ing the dire necessity for a new
school at Ugashik on account of its
age and dangerous location, at
last appropriation of $5,000 has
been made by Congress to build a
new school in a safe place in the
Village of Ugashik. There are
times when the teachers have had
to drop verything and flee for their
livs to the hills to escape the in
roads of the stormy seas that have
surrounded their dwelling and
school. One year it was even ne
cessary to rescue part of the fam
ily in a rowboat, or they would
have drowned.
JAPANESE CURRENT
HAS DISAPPEARED
King-of-the-IvorirjS Miehaelson,
erstwhile world-renowned pianist,
bo’s’n of the U. S. S. Discoverer, has
recently announced the appalling
discovery that the Japanese cur
rent has disappeared from the vi
cinity of Kodiak Island.
“For some reason unknown to me
this famous stream of water has
ceased to flow”, said Miehaelson
“Whether the recent altercation in
Shanghai has any bearing on the
matter or not I do not know, but
the fact remains that the Japs had
turned the current on the Chinese
and were attempting to wash them
out. Reports from China, however,
indicated that the water was being
put to laundry uses by the Chinese.
It was a matter of contention as
to what ultimate use the Japanese
current would be put.
PLANE FLYING WEST
Pilot Matt Neiminen, of the
Alaskan Airways, was scheduled
to breeze into Seward today from
Anchorage to pick up B. R. Hart,
vice president of the Alaska Pack
ers Association, and other passen
gers, and fly to Naknek, on far
away Bristol Bay. Mr. Hart had
planned to go West on the SS Starr
but changed his mind.
Winter apparently has returned.
Weather observers almost fell over
dead today when happening to
glance up at the mountains, per
ceived a batch of nice, fresh, new
snow had fallen during the night.

ROCKER EH COLD
W. W- “Doc” Ward is busy with ;
hammer and saw building a rocker
which he will use on a piece of
good placer ground which he owns
in the Hope district.
Incidentally, “Doc” will do a lit
tle gumshoeing for another pay
streak which he believes exists in
a section of the Kenai Peninsula
which he crossed by airplane re
cently, and which theoretically
should be productive. From the
air he was ehabled to check up on
several large drainages which le
gend says never have been pros
pected.
It is plannd later In the season
to take a power boat to Kenai lake
with which to make a journey to
a convenient spot, from which the
new field may be reached by a
short walk.
ALASKA ROAD ITEM
WAS INCREASED BY !
ACTION OP SENATE!
According to word received by
officers of the Alaska Road Com
mission, the Senate, as many times
before, once more has come to the
aid of the Alaska road building
organization and has shown itself
as favoring an increase in the
amount to be appropriated for Al
aska road work.
This item was practically elim
inated recently in the House when
that body pared the item down to
$350,000 which is said to be just
barely enough to carry on main
tenance work. The Senate voted
to increase the amount to $500,000
when it passed the Army Supply
bill.
Word of the Senate’s action was
made known to Maj. L. E. Atkins,
of the Alaska Road Commission,
who recently passed through Se
ward enroute to the McKinley
Park, by Delegate Wickersham, in
a wire to Maj. Atkins.
Maj. Atkins will return to his
Juneau headquarters soon to con
ferr with President Malcalm El
liott, of the Alaska Road Commis
sion, regarding the season’s work,
provided the Senate’s action is al
lowed to stand by the House.

SLEEPING MARATHONERS !
HARD AT PRACTICE!
I
Manager Musclebound Quinn oi I
the U. S. S. Discoverer has been j
holding his stop watch for the past
two weeks on the preliminaries to
the Discoverer’s famous 1932 sleep
ing marathon. Musclebound re
ports at this time that Wildcat Cot
ick and Kodiak Hazelton are neck-1
and-neck in the race, with Little j
Aspirin a close contender.
Other contestants, in the follow
ing order at present, include Joshua
Earl Roy (Lord Bilgewater), Eddie
McLean and Chips Blake.
“It is too early at this time to pro
phesy the winner,’’ said Manager
Quinn. “The marathon ends on the
Fourth of July, and the winner
will be awarded a leather medal.”
NO SOLICITATION
In view of the fact that ready
cash is less available this year than
it has been in years past, the fol
lowing suggestion for the Fourth of
July celebration was made at a re
cent meeting of Seward Post No. 5,
Aimerican Legion: That the size
and scope of the celebration this
year should be determined by the
amount of funds contributed.
No committee will call on you.
Messrs Hopkins, Sheldon and Chil
berg have been authorized to ac
cept contributions, or they may be
mailed direct to the Seward Post
of the American Legion. A list of
those donating and the amounts
donated will be made public from
time to time. On June 20th the
amounts received will be totaled
and the celebration planned.
