NORVIK REINOEER FAIR
A MARKED SUCCESS
The reindeer fair held at Noor
vik in March was a success from
start to finish. The natives them
selves took complete charge of the
work of entertaining the native
visitors and appointed commit
tees to look after their housing
and feeding.
An eating house was estau
lished and meals were sold for
twenty five cents. Delegates
from Nome, Icy Cape, Buckland,
Selawik, Kotzebue, Noatak, Kr
valina, VVainwright, Point Bar
row and Noorvik attended the
* Various contests were held and
prizes were awarded to the win
ners. A good time was enjoyed
by all and many of the natives
arc still singing “Reindeer Fair,"
one of the songs sung during the
exercises.
Aside from a few suggestions
by Mr. Replogel, the government
teacher, the whole affair was
handled and managed by the na
tives themselves and was very
successful. The bureau of educa
tion and the missionaries deserve
great credit for the good results
that have been obtained during
the comparatively short time they
have been teaching these people.
Among the guests attending
the fair were Superintendent
Walter Shields, of Nome, Dr.
Nichols and Milton White from
Kotzebue, Clinton Replogel and
wife and son from Kivalina, Mr.
Evans from Sewalik, Mr. Ausley
from Noatak, Mr. Gudmundson
of Nome, Mr. Coffin from Candle,
Chas. Evern, Pete Iversick and
Deputy Marshal O’Reiley from
Kiana Dr. anck Mrs. Replogle
and Miss Hill who are stationed
on the reservation at Noorvik,
entertained the guests and made
things very comfortable and
pleasant for everyone. A good
time was enjoyed by all and the
next fair is already being looked
forward to with great interest.
Some of the events which made
up the fair were of great interest
to everyone, whites as well as na
tives and a considerable spirit of
emulation was manifest through
out indicating the really active
interest taken by the native com -
petitors.
The fair was closed with a
grand parade of the deer men

ALASKA
NOTES
The Juneau socialists have
adopted a platform and will an
nounce a ticket later.
An adv. in an Anchorage paper
reads: “Our eggs are candled
laily. Each one is guaranteed.
A flower fair will be a feature
>f the late summer in Seward if
, the plans of the Women’s club
are carried out.
The survey has been made and j
a petition is being circulated for!
the annexation of the “mud flats” ,
i in front of Valdez,on which much 1
of the most valuable property in
the town is situated.
For the big Alaska rush this,
vear a total of 36 large steam- j
sihps will be in regular opera-j
’ tion. All of these will operate
from Seattle, with the exception
of three steamships which will
make Vancouver, B. C. their
home port,
t _
Bert W. Johnson, of Fairbanks
who secured a permit to cut
wood on a certain tract of land
1 in that district, has been restrain
, ed from taking it away as it was
cut on the homestead of C. B.
I Sweeney The permit had been
erroneously issued by the special
a<*ent of the land office.
John L. Dais, who spent n
years in continuous service as
jail guard at Kodiak with as
many years as a sailor in various
parts of Alaska, died at Kodiak
early in January at the age of 58
years. He has been assistant to
Deputy Marshal Karl Armstrong
for seven years.
Valdez credits Seward with 21
below, gs compared to 16 below
there during the January cold
snap. Rather a chilly compli
ment, yes? It was 10 below in
the outskirts of Seward one
morning, but tlie'official weather
bureau registered 8, but what’s
a few degrees among neighbor
ing towns?—Post.
The development of the new
Tolovana camp is proving a great
commercial boon to the merchant
of Fairbanks. The residents of the
interior town believe that Fair
banks will be the inland supply
center and as it will be connected
with the coast by the government
railroad that it cannot help but
become a large city.
People lately out from Atlin
report that the Engineer mine,
the property of Captain James
Alexander, located between Car
cross and Atlin, long known to be 1
rich in gold bearing ore, is now
looking very much more promis
ing than ever before as the result
of the large amount of develop-!
ment work recently done on it.1
In fact, it is believed by expert |
mining men to be the richest of
gold bearing ledges on thc Am
erican continent
