get to go swimming once a year
in the Nome river, we’re lucky.
Usually it’s too cold, and in the
summertime, the mosquitoes take
all he pleasure out of it.”
That’s not really a complaint,
the Whaleys pointed out, for
Alaska has been good to them in
the 12 years they’ve lived in
Nome, and what with politics
raising a family, gold-mining,
wolf-hunting from the air, and
piloting mail planes, they have
found no time hanging heavy on
their hands.
Neighborly Couniry
It’s nice to live in a neighbor

Whaley’s pointed out,, and the

Madsen’s place of business. The {
Polar Bar. Too many people teas
ed Pola, however, and his dis
position got pretty soon, so the
bear was shot.
‘‘Wolf-hunting is our chief
sport, but it isn’t only for the
