In the series of articles entitle*
“The Glory of the States." runnin;
in a popular magazine, emphasis i
put upon the natural resources thai
would support life if "a wall win
built around the state,” shutting oft
all outside supplies.
“How long could we live in Alaski
without suffering serious discomfort
if the shipment of food supplies fron
the States was entirely discontinued 7
The question was asked of an in
telligent native woman in Juneau an*
she lifted her eyebrows in amused .sur
prise. “My people lived here for gen
erations before the tood of the whit*
man came from the outside,” was tiu
prompt reply. "But how Of eours*.
we know there was an abundance o*
berries, of game and fish, but what
else did they eat 7”
Whereupon the dark-skinneu nous*
wife, a graduate of Carlisle, pnxeed
ed to unfold tlie possibilities ol sus
taming life in Alaska without an.
from “the States. * there are, it
seems, certain roots that furnish a
tho elements found in the common
vegetables. The root buib ot a cer
tain variety ot’ fern is comparable u
the sweet potato; wild celery is abund
ant—produced by certain other specie*
of fern and properly blanched w ith i
wood ashes. Wild rice may be gath
ered in Southeast Alaska. Pounded
into flour it furnishes the necessary
bread or cake. Of “greens” there is
almost infinite variety, besides the |
time-honored dandelion chief among
them, in Southwest Alaska the tender I
tops of the fire weed. Of wild onions
there is an abundance, and, lacking
salt, they furnish flavor and savor to
the delectable “mulligan.*'
* The list of meats, rapidly enumer
ated, seemed to leave nothing to be
desired. Our fish products are unsur
passed. Delicious clams lie in wait
for us in almost every sandy beach.
Berries provide jelly, jam and mar
malade.
“But what about butter and eggs?’’

The question was asked with a patron
izing air. Here, surely, was a poser.
“Why do the best cooks now use
natural oils for frying and shortening
:f butter is an indispensable article
if diet?" was the smiling rejoinder.
Most of the flesh foods yield some
natural fat; the whale supplies quan-'
rities of oil, and there is the always
reliable ooligan, or “candle fish,” so
charged with oil that it will burn like
a taper. And as for eggs—wild geese
uni ducks provide an abundance. It
s simply a case of “come and find
me."
The white woman felt herself on
unfamiliar ground, and memory hark
ed back to childhood days when, if
she produced a treasured asset in toy
or game, a fellow playmate imme-.
I diatelv ejaculated with scorn, “Huh.
I’ve got two of 'em!” Then she be
thought herself of woman’s solace for
many woes, and propounded the last
question with an air of triumph; in
fact, it wasn’t a question, it was an
assertion:
“Hut you didn’t have any tea!”
“Tea! Of course we had tea—fin
er than any of your eastern world
products. “Why,” and the question
came pityingly, “didn’t you ever drink
Hudson Hay tea? ’it grows all over
Alaska, and it’s the finest spring
tonic known."
“No, 1 never.” the abashed white
housewife made humble answer. “Hut
maybe I will.”
