“Alaska Nellie” Reverses
The Order, Hollywood
Conies To Her
SEATTLE—Picturesque Nellie
Neal Lawing, known as “Alaska
Nellie” to hundreds of sour-,
doughs and tourists, has gone- to
Hollywood and now has her pub '
lie.
The noted 66-year-old big
game hunter and resort operator
arrived in Seattle from the fihn
capital recently wi'h 300 fan let
ters and the manuscript for her !
forthcoming autobiography, “Al
aska Nellie.”
She is leaving the story of her
adventurous life in the Far
North in the hands of the print- i
er. The letters, received as a re
sult of her recent debut in mo
tion pictures, she is taking to her
home in Lawing, Alaska. There
in the resftul solitude of tower
ing mountains and sparkling lak
es she will answer each letter in
dividually.
Perhaps, she indicated, she
may inclose a picture of her hunt
ing and fishing resort on the shor
es of beautiful Lake Kenai. She
believes in advertising.
Unlike scores of girls young en
ough to be her granddaughters,
she didn’t have to make the pil
grimage to Hollywood to get into
pictures. As if she had built a
better mousetrap, the “movies”
made a beaten path to her antler
decorated door.
James Fitzpatrick, noted pro
ducer of travelogues for Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer, made a techni
color film last June of the viv
acious Nellie and her home life.
It shows her fishing out of her
kitchen window, the line attach
ed to the kitchen stove and a
bell ringing every time a big one
is hooked, a simple and prac
tical angling method that has
made her famous.
It also shows her at her daily
chores in scenic surroundings &
pictures her in her museum am
ong the trophies of the hunt —
moose, bear and other game that
fell to Nellie’s deadly aim.
The picture opened recently on
the bill at Seattle’s Paramount
Theater. Her fan mail resulted
from the fact that it is now being
shown in the east.
Nellie spent the winter in
Hollywood as the guest of her
friend, Alice Calhoun, a film cel
ebrity of the silent days, and
Miss Calhoun’s mother. There the
Alaska woman finished writing
her book when not meeting such
movie notables as Harold Lloyd,
Mary Picikford, Tom Mix and
Shirley Temple.
Next to Seattle, she likes Hoi
lywood better than any other
city in “the states,” she said. But
of course, Lawing, Alaska, has
them all beat she added.

Alaskan Natives Reckon
Time by Total Eclipses
JUNEAU—'Way up above the
Arctic Circle, it’s quite an event
when the midnight sun goes
black.
So au-picious, in fact, that tin
natives around Noorvik s*;Ii base
their tirr>'> system on the last ec
lipse visible there.
Gilbert L. Swanson, govern
ment teacher, ran into tin novel
time-keeping system in determin
ing the ages of Indians seeking
old age pensions.
Time after time he found they
were born so many winter “after
the sun went black.” The whole
scheme of old age assistance for
the Eskimos of the Kobuk River
district had to wait while Swen
son sought a way to translate the
solar omen into white man’s
chronometry.
Finally, he radioed the Office
of Indian Affairs for “informa
tion as to the date of an eclipse
of the sun affecting this vicinity,
near enough total so that the
stars shone in the daytime.’’
Charles W. Hawkesworth, as
sistant to the superintendent,
has had some strange requests
but he remembered having read
about an eclipse and, after a deal
of research, found a reference to
it in “Alaska, Its Southern
Coast,” by E. Ruham3h, publish
ed in 1885.
:
The book told that Professor
George Davidson of the United
States and Geodetic Survey,
1 came to Alaska to observe the
phenomenon from an observa
tory at Klukwan, and that it oc
curred exactly as the pr >fess >v
foretold, on August 7,
The book further related that
when the sun darkened, and the
s:ars shone, as Davidson forecast
C ief Klo’n-Klutz offered him "ca
oes, blankets and wives if he
would tell him how he did it.”
By coincidence, history also re
cords that Secretary Seward,
who negotiated the purchase of
the territory from Russia, was in
Alaska at the time and was on
Chilkat River the day the sun
went dark.
EVERYBODY WANTS
JOB WITH U. S.
WASHINGTON UP) — Civil
Service Commissioners are be
ginning to wonder if the whole
population wants to work for
Uncle Sam. During the past year
they have received 2,500.000 let
ters inquiring about jobs —not
work relief; real civil service
jobs.
One queer angle is the number
of letters from women who figure
a war is coming and say they’d
be glad to take the job of the
young postman, for instace, so as
to release him for the army.
