like an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you've
driven a Buick for 1928.

FAMILY AT TELLER D|E FROM
EATING DECAYED SEAL; LAST
BOAT OUT
There were 500 reindeer carcasses
aboard the M. S. Boxer, Captain Whit
lam, master, which left port yester
day for Seattle after spending the lar
ger portion of the past season in the
; Arctic and Bering Seas. In addition
the vessel has 42 tons of tin ore as bal
last, 200 bundles of reindeer hides, 10
sacks of fox skins and a number of |
hundreds of ipounds of ivory.
Aside from the 40 reindeer carcass
es unloaded in port yesterday there
were five bundles of skins destined
to the Eklutna school of the Bureau '
’ of Education.
The tin ore was picked up at Tin
City and the reindeer were butchered
at Point Barrow Point Hope, Kivalina,
Kotzebue and at Cape Prince of Wales.
While at Nome Captain Whitlam
reports he made an extra voyage down
to Dutch Harbor where 350 tons of
; coal, brought up from the States on
1 the U. S. Cutter Vega, were taken on
board and distributed at many Bering
Sea 'ports and villages of the depart
ment
Captain Whitlam said as a Tule he
found the eBring Sea cold and back
ward and all through the mining dis
tricts operators were complaining of
the exceptionally dry season. The
Arctic Ocean, at the time he was
distributing supplies, was free of ice
I but when he left the ice pack was not
f so far away. tSIush ice was forming
all over the Bering Sea as <the Boxer,
the last vessel out, kicked up it*s
stern as she steamed through the Pass.
While close to the Arctic ice pack a
polar bear, measuring over nine feet,
was shot.
| Otto Giest, of the Alaska College,
■who spent the entire past summer at
various points in Bering Sea, includ
ing St. Lawrence Island, disembarked
from the vessel yesterday leaving for
the Interior today. He has many box
es of specimens all of which have been
shipped to the College. Mr. Giest was
taken north on the first spring trip
of the Boxer and according to arrange
ments made was to be picked up on
the last trip of the seasn. He was!
James Baddn, a herder from the
Broad Pass country is a passenger on
the vessel enroute to Seattle and the
East where he will drive reindeer
during the holiday season.
At Kotzebue, while discharging car
k go one of the deckhands, a native,
fell and broke a leg. It was a com
; pound fracture, it was stated, and he
? is being taken to Seattle for an opera
•tion.
At Teller an entire native family
of four died from eating a decayed
seal, Captain Whitlam reported.
For eight days prior to arriving in
?ort from the Westward Captain Whit
am made four attempts to leave Afog
aak but on each ocassion the living
sale compelled them to return. Each
:ime they ventured out to sea the ves
sel became almost instantly iced over,
rhis condition, together with the. rag
ng seas, made it impossible to contin
ue South. Low water and heavy surfs
it other ports delayed the Boxer the
whole summing up to many days be
hind the time calculated for the trip.
From Seward the Boxer will call in
at Juneau, Ketchikan, Petersburg and
at Wrangell, thence to Seattle. Cap
tain Whitlam said he did not know
a£ this time whether he would be mak
ing a trip to Seward this winter or
not and will not know he arrives at
Seattle, about December 10.
