Arrived at Karluk this afternoon;
plenty of fog and rain. Shall re
main here tonight and leave for
Cliignik and Unga tomorrow, if the
weather permits. Total population
here about 200 including 51 school
children. Good fishing season just
concluded and economic conditions
here probably as good as anywhere
else in Alaska though a few fam
ilies may need help.

Kodiak town turned out in force
for the meeting here last night
Believe sentiment for local control
by Alaska Legislature on fish, fur
and game resources almost unani
mous. Many men here who fish an
nually in Bristol Bay region. Much
interested in having rocks cleared
from channel Egegik river; same!
now very dangerous. This river!
used yearly by at least 200 men in
traveling to and from Bristol Bay
and if rocks were cleared it would
be used by twice that number. I en
dorsed to have this work done by
legislative appropriation in 1929 but
the bill failed to pass. It should be
done by the Federal government.
Believe all should support project
for cleaning Egegik rapids.

Arrived Seldovia; stopped at Ke
nai for about four hours; at Kasi
lof. about one hour. Was unable to
land at Ninilchik on account of
rough water. Cordially received
everywhere. People with whom I
:
talked generally were strongly in
favor of the Democratic platform
and principles of transfer of control
of the fisheries, fur and game to the
Alaska Legislature. Seldovia seems
to be prosperous and no talk of de
pression is heard here- Steve Mills
and Larry Davis wide awake, fat
and sassy.

Arrived at Unalaska about noon
from False Pass. This is the first
commercial plane to land here.
Water port for seaplane here is
swell, in fact, almost perfect, and
no flier need be uneasy on that
score. I believe that within a short
time they will have an air service
established to all points along the!
Alaska Peninsula as far as Unalas
ka. Our trip has been valuable in
that respect, at least. “Columbus”
Mills and “Magellan” Davis are
well, indeed, and since the fog is
thick as Mount Katmai smoke to
day, both are sleeping, making up
for about two days in advance.
People all along have been so hos
pitable that we are somewhat re
luctant to leave. Mr. and Mrs. Me
Leod and Mr. Dahl at Chignik, Capt
Halvorsen at Sand Point; and Mr.
Arthur Mellick; Mr. Joseph Nazen
lus at False Pass, and at Unalaska.
Mrs. A. C. Goss, have generously
taken, us into their homes and all
have been so courteous. In spite of
the exceptionally heavy run of sal
mon in the interior peninsula re
gion, in several places local resi
dents are facing the winter with
anxiety since the traps operated al
most without restriction making it
impossible for residents to sell any
fish they might catch; the packing
season is so short and wages so low
that they couldn’t possibly earn
enough to keep them. Moreover,
Unimak Island is so thoroughly re
served that inhabitants there have
little chance to help themselves.
One thing here should be done
without delay. Reindeer should be
placed on Unalaska Island for the
use of native inhabitants. The is
land is well suited for reindeer and
stocks here would solve largely the
local food problem. I wish to note
here that there are many large and
fine families in the peninsula re
gion; families of eight, nine, 10
and 14 children; and particularly
that sturdy old and respected pa
triarch at Chignik who has 64 liv
ing lineal descendants. With a few
more families like this we would
have some people in Alaska.
(This concludes the messages re
ceived todate from Mr. Dimond but
it is expected more will arrive in
the next mail from KFQD at which
time they will be published).

HUNTERS ON FIRING LINE
Little firing was heard about the
environs of the city this morning
to mark the opening of the bird
and moose season. Ducks have been
flying on the outskirts of the city

have been sighted recently in near
by Resurrection Valley.
Hans Hansen, cook on the SS
Starr, is in the Seward General

We believe it’s JVI ildneSS
and Defter Taste
TF YOUR cigarette is mild—that is,
not strong, not bitter, but smokes
cool and smooth—then you like it
and don’t worry about how many
you smoke.
If your cigarette tastes right; if it
tastes better—that is, not oversweet;
and if it has a pleasing aroma—then
you enjoy it the more.
Everything known to Science is
used to make Chesterfield Cigarettes
milder and taste better and to give
them a pleasing aroma.
First, the right kind of ripe, sweet
leaf tobacco—Domestic and Turkish.
Then these tobaccos are blended
and cross-blended to make sure that
Chesterfields are milder and better
tasting. That’s why “They Satisfy.’’
Give Chesterfields a trial. They are
certain to please you.
