.LAND OF CONTRASTS
Alaska is a land of peculiar contrasts according to
Lari Rossman, photographer assembling an educational
series tor the Lastman Kodak comDRirv who hpnn tr>
series tor the Lastman Kodak company who has been to
tne most remote corners of the Territory on his travels
and believes he has found almost the highest and lowest
in the scale of the genus Homo.
, “People of the highest mental attainments and of
artistic achievement are drawn to Alaska and one meets
tnem in the most ott^out-oLway places, to be charmed
ny their culture and their knowledge of the country and
yet in that region north of Bristol Bay, a sort of No
man s Land exists where I found the most primitive
human beings I have ever seen, including the tribes
of Darkest Africa.
“They are cave dwellers but they have not the cliffs
known to the vanished races of the cave-dwellers of
Southwest America. They live c n an island off the mouth
Kuskokwim where they have borrowed tunnels and
hovels und rground like gophers. They seem to be the
last of a va so deeply immui 1 n i<n

SPIRIT
If anyone needed an answer to that question they
11 : ive been present inSeward last Saturday night
when the whole town and most of the surrounding coun
try convened, in a spontenous outpouring >f public spirit
for a public good. It was the ‘'Days of ’19” celebration to
assist the Seward Athletic Club thru its winter campaign
and the response was so enthusiastic, and whole-hearted
that the spirit of it will last thru another year with a
pleasant aftertaste. The entertainment committee com
prising Messers. Harris, Myers and Leedum are de'
serving of thanks from one and all for the able manner
in which they carried the affair thru to success.
