Its an ill storm but what doesn’t do some town along the Alaska Railroad some good. Notable among the recommendations made at the Alaska Game Commisssion session, now under way in Juneau, is the rseolution drawn up asking for the approv al of the Alaska office, by the Bureau of Biological Sur vey, before collecting permits be issued to museums. This is the first opportunity Seward has had to en tertain travelers for four years. Though an enforced layover there is lots to see and do providing one wants action. A FINE PERSONNEL The new line-up of the Alaska Game Commission looks * like a winner. Chief Terhune has surrounded himself with a personnel all of whom are level headed chaps. One of these men, in Seward for some days past, Oddie Hall son, in charge of the Kuskokwim region, is a fair type of the fine calibre of men Terhune has working with him. Seward folks will be sorry to see him leave town but duty beckons. A man identified as Joseph Conoway was found in Buffalo, suffering from loss of memory, but he will be in worse trouble if he regains it. Ten women living in four different states claim him as husband. Some of the politicians appear to still believe that al though Mr. Coolidge does not choose to run for another term he might be induced to stand for it. A VERY BRIGHT IDEA Now that the Alaska golfing season will soon be to fore again why not lay out a course down among the famous Alaska Valley of Ten Thousan Smokse. Surely there must be holes large enough there to make a hole in one. That fellow who killed another for reading movie sub-titles aloud will hardly be able to make a convincing insanity plea, but may get off on the ground of justifiable homicide. If we get that big Navy we shall need not only a Chief of Operations, but a Chief of Explanations as well. Prohibition is eight years old. Just the age to begin splitting things wide open. Presidential timber is the only kind you can conserve by thinning out. It appears that some women get married only as a preliminary to acquiring the facination which is supposed to attach to a “dashing young widow.” A fSllow begins to get old when he ceases to wish he j were older, and stays young so long as he is glad he isn’t any younger. Prohibition may have made a few millionaires, but it has kept a few million from feeling like one. T RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE TO COMMISSI ! The first recommendation from in dividuals to be placed before the Alaska Game Commission session at Juneau, says the Empire, was made when E. M. Axelson and T. M. Italio, of Yokutat, appeared before the board, recommending minor changes be made in that vicinity. The changes asked for include 15 days earlier opening for takin of mink and an earlier date for the open ing of migratory bird season. Owing to the fact that Yakutat and its vicinity is in District No. 2, where the present existing seasons are ap parantly satis^aotofjy, the Commiss ion did not consider it advisable to make the changes suggested and Mr. Alexson and Mr. Italio were agree able when this fact was made known to them. ROTARY HIT A SNAG The lotary on the southern divi sion crashed into something S-atur day night which put it on *he sick list for a number of hours. It is said to be back on the job again digging snow with the fury like one possess ed. The temperature at Tunnel this morning registered five above. IT TIE HOTELS VAN GILDER H. B. Lee, Seattle; H. C.
