ALEUTIAN NATIVES
HELPING SEATTLE
AS FUR MARKET
THOUSANDS ‘OF FOX PELTS
COME FROM FAR-FLUNG IS
LANDS OF DISTRIBUTION TO
CITIES THROUGHOUT U. S.
Busy natives of the far-flung
Aleutian Islands, which extend
like a necklace of jewels from
the Southwestern Alaska -coast
nearly to the shores of Asia, are
aiding Seattle in becoming one
of the world’s outstanding fur
markets.
Thousands of blue fox, white
fox, red fox, silver fox and crossed
fox pelts each year are shipped
to Seattle and distributed over a
wide area of the country. Many
of them are made into costly
furs for milady in the big cities
of the Eastern States or are used
in trimmings for expensive cloth
coats. The fur trade of Seattle
has been growing rapidly and has
become an important factor in
boosting the value of Seattle’s im
ports.
Taking a prominent part in the
development of the fur-producing
districts of the Aleutian Islands,
inhabited by thrifty tribes of Aleut
natives, is the Kanaga Ranching
Company of Seattle. This firm
operates trading posts and stores
in these Alaska Islands, bartering
with the tribes of Aleuts for their
furs.
Growing Business
During the last three years the
Kanaga company has shipped
$450,000 worth of fox pelts tc
Seattle, comprising the company’s
own furs, and those purchased
from the natives.
Foxes are trapped by the Aleuts
on the various islands of the
Western Aleutians and sold by the
chiefs of the tribes to the Kanaga
company. The money obtained
from the transactions is divided
equally among the men, women
and children of the tribes. An
Aleut and his wife with seven lit
tle Aleuts get nine shares of the
fur sales, making this part of
Alaska one of the few places in
the world where it pays to have a
big family.
Both men and women work as
trappers in the Aleutians, taking
a harvest of furs each winter.
Among the most skillful of the
trappers are Mrs. Nellie Gollej
and her husband, Willie, and Mrs
Polly Dirks of Atka Village on
Atka Island. They were in Seattle
recently seeing the sights of mod
ern civiliaztion for the first time
Seven Years’ Service
The Kanaga Ranching Company
was organized seven years ago
Capt. Harold E. Bowman is presi
dent; Ford Trimble, vice president;
C. Y. Bowman, secretary anc
treasurer, and Miss Nora Green
land, assistant secretary anc
treasurer. The company has thm
vessels, the Aleutian Native, th(
Umnak Native and the Alasco 4
which serve as island tenders anc
fishing boats, and a codfish ware
house and a dock 310 feet long, al
Kanaga Harbor.
The company not only aids th<
natives in fur trapping but en
courages them in their efforts t<
become fishermen. On her las'
voyage to Seattle, the Aleutiai
Native brought 2,400 fox pelts
She will arrive in Seattle nex
March with another cargo. Trad
ing posts are maintained at N1
kolski Village on Umnak Island
and at Atka Village on Atka Is
land, where the company has an
investment of $75,000. The firm
also lias its own fox farms on
Kanaga, Tanaga and Ilak Islands.
It has about 500,000 acres in is
i lands.
Gone Modern
The Aleuts have all gone mod
ern. They are well fed, well
clothed and live contentedly in
villages. They have charge ac
counts at the stores and may buy
clothing or food on credit or for
cash. November, December and
January comprise the trapping
season, and both men and women
are busy reaping the harvest ol
furs.
In Atka Village and Nikolsk;
Village are 225 natives who live
comfortably, every man, womar
and child sharing in the fur catch
At Kanaga Harbor on Kanaga Is
land, the ranching company ha^
an investment of $250,000. Or
