“A POOR MAN’S TOWN”
Surf rockers are again making
their appearance along the beaches
of Nome, and it is regarded as an
indication that Nome is still what
it was termed in the early days,
“a poor man’s camp,” says the
Nome Nugget. The beach concen
trates still contain considerable
gold and any oldtimer who knows
haw, can still rock out five to six
dollars a day.

NUNIVAK ISLANDER
TELLS OF NIK
LIFE MJIS HOME
Their census increase is one per
ison every 10 years.
They’re born, live and die there
—179 of them.
Nunivak Island, 25 miles off the
mainland of Alaska in Bering Sea
and 250 miles south of Nome, is
the North of the story books and
its people are the Eskimo legend,
down to the last detail.
It is called the “most primitive
community in all Alaska” by Misha
Ivanoff, government teacher whose
home it is. He came down from
Alaska for the first time in 25
years and to Seattle for the first
time in his life. One doesn’t go
in much for travel in a commun
ity visited by few boats each year.
Ivanoff came down on the
Boxer, government vessel supplying
all the schools.
Stone lamps with wicks of moss
and fuel of seal oil still light the
igloos of Nunivak Island—igloos
of dirt, with a fire on the floor,
hole in the roof, fish skin for
windows.
The natives fish with spears or j
nets of sinew, from the “kyak,”:
walrus-hide boat.
The government teacher at Nun
ivak for the past five years, Ivan
off was educated at San Francisco,
though a full Eskimo born at St.
Michaels, Alaska. He went north
as teacher in 1904 and hasn’t been
outside since until last week.

DEEI CAUGHT IN TRAP
INTENDED FDR SUN
James Taylor, a Southeast Alas
ka cannery operator, was in Ket
chikan recently and says in the
Ketchikan Chronicle that it has
been demonstrated that traps are
useful for other purposes than
catching fish.
“Although it is early in the sea
son,” said Mr. Taylor, “we caught
two deer in our Carol Point trap
thus far, and if it is possible to
catch a deer in a salmon trap, a
deer trap should yield large quan
tities of the creatures.
“One deer swam into the trap
about 10 days ago, and the other
three days ago. They were taken
to the Skowl arm cannery and are
being trained as pets there.”
Another unusual trap is the
“black bass trap” of the Alaska 1
Pacific Salmon corporation. Yes
terday’s yield from this trap was •
2,000 pounds of sea bass, which 1
proved to be worth more than a 1
similar amount of pink salmon.
