NOME GETS INTO LINE
Reports of the Nome fair indicate that the far north
ern historical placer camp is branching out and taking
within its scope something more than mining.
Nome has discovered that there are more things than
gold capable of producing prosperity and has set about
making an inventory of its additional treasures.
Among the articles of prominence at the fair were
manufactures of reindeer hair, hide and bone, ivory car
ving and various assortments of canned reindeer meat,
gold ores and other minerals..
Thus while encouraging such manufactures as the,
region is capable of, Nome is taking long steps to pre
serve Eskimo art, which has been threatened by invasions ,
of Japanese carved ivory.
In the manufacture both adult and child natives par- j
ticipated, and the goodly prizes awarded served to stim-1
ulate further efforts. As a result a large exhibit will!
be sent to the Chicago World’s Fair next year.
That the work of the Bureau of Education is bearing |
fruit was shown in the beautiful fur manufactures ex- !
hibited by natives of the White Mountain Industrial
school. i
WHAT IS MOB VIOLENCE?
Edwin Bair, editorially, referring to the chicanery I
of the politicians in trying to ballyhoo the people into ac
cepting more and burdensome taxes, ironically concludes:
“What’s the use?”
When the politicians of North Carolina tried the
same stunt the agriculturalists promised to march upon
the State capital 10,000 strong and take a hand in legis-1
lation, refused to pay taxes. With them was a governor I
who had more courage than consideration for his politi
cal future. They not only forced a reduction in taxes, but
reinstated the state’s bonds at 100 cents on the dollar.
You do not hear of bread lines in North Carolina.
Its statesmen and business men rallied to re-establish
the people on the farms. Possibly a little mob action is
good for the soul. At least it becomes necessary when |
dishonest leaders cannot be made to see the light in any I
other way.
STROLLERS’ WEEKLY SOUNDS KEYNOTE
When Stroller’s Weekly points out that Alaskan;
towns are making a mistake in warning the unemployed:
to remain away from Alaska, it sounds a refreshing key- \
note, says Strollers:
“The fact that a man has no money does not makej
him an undesirable citizen-If he is industrious and|
eager to become a part of this commonwealth casting his'
lot with those little better than himself when they came ■
here, why let him know that he is unwelcome?”
FUTURE MEAT SUPPLY
Within 50 years the principal source of the world’s
meat supply will not be cattle, but reindeer from Alaska,
Canada and Siberia, in the opinion of Villjalmur Stefans
son, famed Artie explorer.
He gives several reasons for his prediction, an im
portant one being the economy in raising reindeer, which
live on grass in summer and on lichens and bushes in win
ter. Besides, reindeer meat may be kept in natural cold
storage in the far North until it is desired to ship it out.
Another reason for the predicted decline of cattle as
a food source is the increase of tuberculosis, which is mak
ing serious inroads on the Argentine herds and threatens
American herds also.
The possibility of having to eat reindeer meat is
nothing to be alarmed about, Stefansson says, as its taste
is little different from that of beef. But most folks will
prefer to stick to beefsteak as long as it is available.
Dr. Hrdlicka says “Indians will affect Americans” by |
blood diffusion. Which encourages the belief that the na
tion still has a chance to endure.
Providing next winter’s food supply: Plant a garden,
raise lots of potatoes, cabbage, turnips and chickens, dry
and'ismoke and salt plenty of fish; send the sheiks out
with an ax to cut a few cords of wood.
A lot of political arguing is being done by fellows !
who never take the trouble to vote.
It's too bad these hard times had to come right in the '
middle of the depression. Tsk—tsk. '
GREAT QUANTITIES OF
DOLLY VARDEN TROUT
TAKEN FROM LAKE
The fish weir, to be used by the
Bureau of Fisheries for counting
salmon as they enter Bear lake
has been completed and is ready
for the arrival of the fish.
The weir consists of a slatted
fence, reposing upon galvanised
iron and leaning down-stream and
completely closes the outlet of the
lake. Two admission gates are set
about one-third of the distance
from the shore ends. These con
sist of sliding boards about 12
inches wide. Beneath these are
bright layers of galvanised iron.
When counting begins, the boards
are raised allowing the salmon to
pass, one at a time, over the bright
bottom, making each fish visible
regardless of the speed with which
he shoots the gate. A platform
extended across the rear of the
fence permits the counters to pass
from side to side and secure a po
sition where they may look direct
ly down upon the fish.
So secure is the fence that Dolly
Varden trout are unable to pass
in either direction. This is prov
ing a windfall for those desiring i
trout. Before the weir was built!
a considerable number of trout es- 1
caped downstream, many holes lit- j
erally swarming with them, some j
of which reach 24 inches in length, j
Early birds have placed traps in
the creek and are making big hauls.
Traps and nets in the creek where
it leaves the lake above the weir
are also making big catches.
While the capture of the trout in
such large quantities is disconcert
ing to the angler, their decimation
is welcomed by the canneries and
the Bureau of Fisheries, because of
their destruction of salmon eggs.
WHARF COMPLETED
George James, of the Alaska
Shop, arrived in Seward on Wed
nesday’s train from his Kenai Lake
Lodge. He reports the work on the
construction of a wharf at the Lake
near the Lodge has been complet
ed and boats can now tie up there
withou t difficulty. The weather
has been wonderful at Lake Kenai
for the past number of days and
vegetable gardens are growing
rapidly. Many plants are said to
be about an inch above the ground.
Mr. James brought a mess of trout
to town with him. They were
rainbow trout and the largest
measured some 18 inches.
