The coastal region along the
Bering Sea may truly be called
the ivory coast of America for a
constant supply is continually
flowing into the marts of the
world. Ivory, to the natives in
that vast area, is still used as a
household commodity in the mak
ing utensils, ornaments, weapons
and even in making toys for the
little ones
That ivory has been a great
factor in the life of those natives
for centuries past is seen in the
statement of Gene S. La Rouge,
trader on Nelson Island, who left
Seward yesterday for the states
on his first visit in over 30 years.

HOWARD LONG, Lake view
jbably one of the most learned men
! today on Alaska ancient lore.
! From the various tribes he has
; had recounted to him tales, which
| he truly believes, have never be
j fore been heard and he has prom
! ised the Gateway to set these
I down, from time to time, and for
ward same for publication.
The near approach of July 4th
brought memories to him of a
limiter celebration years ago on
the Yukon, at Anvik. Continuous
^vHo-ht snoiled anv possibility of
^notino- off imported fireworks,
(nf which there were nor*e in the
vuioere) so hp conceived the bright
idea of making their own. A
number of tops from old cotton
wood trees were sawed off and
the cores extracted. Within were
placed laver uoon laver of gun
nnwde^.. and between each of
these, layers of sawdust, and dirt.
Pnsp? co^^ieeted eaeh lever end
an evtvq long one protruded from
the last.
Everything was finally complet
ed and the entire village, even the
dogs, gathered about at what was
thought to be a safe distance. The
fuses were lit and with a devas
tating roar the first charge ex
ploded but with such forore that
the villagers were knocked flat,
and trees within a small area
blown out by the roots; the in
ventor had misjudged the size of
the charges. When the smoke of
battle cleared away not a native
could be seen; they had hit for
the high spots pj* as far as
Mr. La Rouge knows they are
s still running. Fortunately no one
was injured and they enjoyed it
too.
Another interesting thing Mr.
La Rouge told was of the origina
tion of the Upper Yukon Indian
language. This, he remarked, con
tains numerous French syllables
for the French-Canadians from
the Peel River country, invaded
that region in the early days of
the country and as a consequence
the native vocabulary includes at
least 50 percent of French spoken,
however, with the Indian gutteral.,
The PTPPt, overland trail, the
5 Jack-of-all-trades. and the oro
j ducts from the sea. as related by
Mr. T a Rmifre. will be published in
tomorrow’s issue.
The Alaska All-Year-Round can
nery and the Cook Inlet Packing
Co., both located at Seldovia, have
packed more salmon thus far
| than the same period last season
i the Gateway is informed.
