VALDEZ MERCANTILE CQ.
NATIVES DO THEIR BIT
FOR RED ChOSS WORK
One day last week the Red Cross
headquarters made out a receipt for
$27 which will go to Hydaburg, Al
aska, to make proud the hearts of
some 300 Indians who make their
home there, says the Seattle Times.
For the Indians donated that sum on
the Fourth of July to help out the Red
Cross in its campaign of mercy.
It all started because Phil Morris
on, a Native and manager of the saw
mill at Hydaburg, made a visit to
Craig. Alaska. While he was in town,
which is a white man’s place, the en
ergetic women cornered him and de
manded a donation from him. It was
new to him but he decided to take a
chance.
After he had donated his coin the
idea of the whole thing was explain
ed to him. Like all of the species,
on the way home he figured how he
could get some of his friends to do
nate some money too. The Fourth of
July was approaching and he decided
that was the propitious time to make
the “strike for money.”
So when things were In full sway,
Paul Morrison got up and made a
speech. He told of the war that was
going on and the men whose lives
were being sacrificed for lack of

proper care. His appeal was stirring
and be made it twice, once in Indian
and once in English, so that every
body would be sure to know what he
was talking about. Then the hat was
passed around and when the money
Was counted $27 had been given by
the Indians for the American Red
Cross.
The village of Hydaburg is situat
ed on Prince of Wales Island on the
West Coast of Alaska. The town was
built in 1914 by the merging of three
villages of Indians. A co-operative
store and sawmill, in which is invest
ed about $11,000, form the chief occu
pations for the Natives. These are run
under their own management, with
a board of directors, and every year
a man goes up from Seattle to audit
the books, at their request. The sales
of the store are about $24,000 a year.

SEWARD'S CIVIC FAIR GIVES
GLIMPSE OK REAL FUTURE
Seward's Civic Fair opened last
night and the big exhibition room
of the railroad headquarters building
was thronged with visitors, who gaz
ed with admiration on the handiworks
of Nature, hereabout, and also on the
achievements of Seward’s housewives
in cookery and needle work.
The vegetable exhibit showed con
siderable progress in farming this
year over last. A great variety is
shown and the vegetables are more
matured. ' ^
The flower exhibit is a revelation
to those who did not realize how many
flowers there are in Seward.
Of greatest slgnflcance, however,
is the exhibition by the children of
products from their “war gardens.”
Publicity work following the declara
tion of war has accomplished much in
showing the advantage to the young
of raising here what would otherwise
be shipped in from Outside.
One of the best patronized sections
of the fair was the Country Store,
where for a quarter, the purchaser
received most anything from a bunch
of carrots or turnips up to a ham or
sack of flour. It is reported that over
$100 worth of sales were made.
Refreshments In the way of Ice
cream and punch were served by the
Hospital Helpers.
The poultry exhibit came in for its
share of attention, especially the hens
which made egg-laying noises from
time to time, but so far have refused
to produce a sample of the coveted
breakfast food.
A pleasing program of musical
numbers was rendered during the ev
ening, after which fortunes were told
by one well up in the mysteries of
the occult.
The ladies in charge of the fair
announced this morning that the fair
will be continued until Monday night
to give ail a chance to see the addi
tional exhibits received today from
Matanuska and Susitna valley farms,
the Willow Creek and Talkeetna min
ing districts and the Matanuska coal
Melds.
Tonight there will ht a patriotic pa
geant. and some of the exhibits will
be auctioned to the highest bidder,
including a sofa pillow, commemorat
ing the victory of Seward over An
chorage in the series for the Western
Alaska baseball championship and a
wonderful creation in cake baking by
the Seward Bakery.
Monday night all of the perishibles
in the Matanuska and Susitna exhib
ets wilt be auctioned.
The Country Store will be open
both nights.
It should be remembered that all
net proceeds from the fair will go
to the Bed Cross, probably to buy
materials which will be made up into
hospital garments and dressings by
members of the local unit.—Gateway.
