Captain Naro with the Einari
Byer arrived a few days ago, went’
westward as far as Chernofski with i
freight. Upon her return to Una-!
laska she brought back Miss Car- !
ter, Bureau of Indian Affairs j
teacher at Kashega. Miss Carter;:
•came to Unalaska upon personal'
mattesr and returned to her vil
lage on the SS. Starr.

Bureau of Fisheries ship Pengu- 1
in. with Captain Boe in cam- 1
mand. steamed into the harbor; t
January 2. and after a trip to the;1
Pribiloff I •■lands with rna.il e.nri
freight, returned here to remain •»
for the balance of the winter. Ws i t
are all pleased to hate this visitor;
make such a prolonged stay. There
are few vessels calling here in the;(
winter. and with the exception of •
the faithful old Starr Unalaska •
has no regular callers.

This is one of the few villages of t
the Aleutian Islands or Alaska Pe- 1
rhnsula that continues to adhere j i
to some of the old native tradi- ! r
lions. Russian Christmas Eve was j t
January G. followed by three days \
of carol singing when each house
is visited by various groups cars
rying elaborately decorated stars.
Then comes new year with its
bands of jovial and grotesque mas
queraders. disguised beyond all re
:ognition even as to sex. They
troupe into the house whistling
and shuffling their feet, and the
game is to endeavor to make them
give themselves away, by putting
eading questions and making wise
macks. The rule is perfect silence
>n the part of maskers, and the
nen usually manage to get by
without being known, but the girls
cannot suppress the giggles, which
aecessitates an abrupt departure
Then toward the end of the week
he festivities are brought to a
grand ‘finale with a masque bail, j

The Umnak Native will leave
ranuary 13, weather permititng,
or all villages to the Westward as
ar as Atka. She will have as a j
>assenger Bishop Antonin, who j

ullages en route. Upon his re
urn. Bishop Antonin expects to!
rave fcr the States, preceding to
lev York and Washington. D. C..
pon ecclesiastical matters con
tacted with his diocese.
Mr. Joe Chagin was a passenger
n the Starr, arriving here Janu
; Id. Joe has been down to Se
ttle in connection with his war,
eterans pension. He says Una
aska looks good to him. but he j
hinks traveling in foreign lands.!
saving wife and kiddies at home, j
s not all it’s cracked up to be. j
[he bright lights are fine, but
hose traffic signals get a fellow all
,'crried.

SPECIAL LAW DEGREE
—
The degree ol' Bachelor of Trans
portation Law (B. T. L.) has been
conferred upon John D. Morgan,
of Seward, by the Transportation
Law Institute of Chicago, accord
ing to recent letter received by
him.
Mr. Morgan, who long has been
been a disciple of Blackstone. was
notified that at the recent advanc
ed examination in F. R. C„ his
papers sustained a grade of 97
percent.
This, his letter, read, is a very
high grade, especially for a lay
man in a technical, legal subject
I and “I wish to congratulate you
personally and on behalf of the
faculty at the splendid showing
made by you,” wrote H. C. Barns,
president of the institute.
"In view of your attainments
in this subject,” President Barns,
added, “I am impressed with the
thought that you possess talent
in the mastery of legal subjects.”
From the general tone of Mf.
Same’s letter to Mr. Morgan, it
appears Sev/ard has a modest,
budding legal light who is well on
the road to attaining his worthy
ambition; that of attorney-at-law.
"BUY AMERICAN”
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, —The
“Buy American” campaign was re
vived in the Senate when Senator
Johnson, Republican of California,
offered a measure to require the
government to buy domestic ma
terials under normal conditions.
Flowers made to order for all
occasions. SYLVIA’S
MINES APE SALTED
There are many methods of salt- j
ing mines. Every experienced en-!
gineer is familiar with and guards!
against practices of this nature. j
A few methods of mine salting
are the shooting of gold dust with
I a gun in the faces of a soft de
i posit, supplying 'the inspecting
engineer’s party w'ith dynamite
containing gold dust, injecting gold j
| chlodide solution with a syringe ■
j into a bag containing the samples, [
substituting rich quartz for noor, |
arranging to drop pieces of rich!
; ore into the bucket while it is j!
hoisted up the shaft, etc.
