Treat When Mlllln^liani Man (lives
Talk mi Kislilntc Inilustry anil llali
Its of Natives In Itrlstnl l)ay District
The pupils of the public schools en
joyed a rare treat this morning when
!)r. French of Dillingham spoke to
(hem about the Hristol Hay country,
where he has been laboring for a num
ber of years.
Dr. French spoKo tor nearly two
hours and had the undivided atten
tion of his hearers. He told of a part
of Alaska little known even to Alas
kans. and about which very tittle has
been written. The fishing fleet that
.nines lo the Hristol Hay waters every
spring is Hie largest sailing fleet ill
(lie world. Two million cnses of fish,
ninety six million cans, leave Alaska
on that fleet.
The whole const line, with very few
exceptions, is devoid of timber, and
the natives close their huts up tightly
and use the heat generated in their
own bodies for heating these houses,
whit h the doctor says, compare favor
ably with squirrel holes. A strange
little fish called the black fish furn
ishes a large part of the toed of the
natives. A peculiarity about these fish
is that they may be frozen solid all
winter and be very much alive when
thawed out in the spring. Also, un
like most lislies they may be out of
water for more Ilian twenty-four
hours and be in perfect health when
again placed in their native element.
Dr. French is an authority on the
salmon industry and answered in a
remarkably lucid stylo many ques
tions about which his hearers had
been wondering. Although the lee
lure was the longest ever given nt the
public schools, every one present was
anxious for the speaker to continue
i until the noon hour, and he was as
i.urcd that he had a standing call to
lecture here whenever he is in town.
