NORTHERN LIGHTS
(From the Alaska pres)
Ice piling on other shore ice will
be one of the scenes that will pro
bably be shown in the Metro-Gold
wyn film production which has been
photographed in the Arctic region
during the last several months. Re
cently at Wales, in the Seward
Peninsula district, two airplanes
came soaring over the village and
landed to permit camerman to
photograph the unusual sight.

The school house on the Dio
medes Islands was burned down this
Spring, according to belated word
from that isolated outpost. The Dio
mede people report that deaths
among them were fewer this year
than for some years. Many walrus
were caught by the natives during
the Spring hunt.
* * -* *
From Alaska, 23S9 income tax
reports for 1931 were received by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
at Washington. Residents of the
Territory paid a total of $2,076,000
in income taxes in 1931, as com
pared with $3„700,000 in 1930. The
number of persons reporting de
clined about 18 per cent.

To assist Nome postal workers in
the rapid distribution of mail, box
holders there were asked to keep
their boxes empty as all the ves
sels arriving there when the ice
broke up this Spring were loaded
with tons and tons of mail.

An average of about 200 reindeer

l vide food and clothing for more
I than 300 natives living at Wain

JELUES AND JAMS
BEING PUT UP
LOCAL BERRIES
Local berries are ripe for picking
and almost every day pickers can
be seen tossing the luscious ber
ries into buckets and taking them
home to be jelled.
As the Extension Service in Home
Economics of the Alaska College
has just issued a bulletin on the
canning of berries some of the in
formation may be helpful to local
berry canners.
The bulletin says that Alaska
berries as a rule are very tart
$md become bitter if boiled for very
long. The delicate flavor can best
be preserved by pasteurizing rath
er than boiling and in jellies and
jams the use of commercial pec
tin wil help to dilute the tartness.
If Certo is used directions should
be followed carefully, since a tough
jelly is worse than a tart jelly.
• To can berries pack the cans
with cleaned berries and fill with
1 a medium sugar syrup of one 'cup
sugar to two and one-half cups
water or berry juice to within one
inch from the top. Seal and place
in a kettle of water so as to cover
the jars. Heat to 170 or 180 deg
rees F- for 30 minutes. This pre
vents mold or fermentation and is
suitable for all acid berries, rhu
Ibarb, and ripe tomatoes and does
'not require as much sugar as the
uncooked method.
It is also a good method to pre
: serve berry juices. An inexpensive
j dairy thermometer may be used.
If a thermometer is not available,
bring the kettle to a boil and al
low to cool on the back of the
stove for 30 minutes before remov
ing the jars. If the jars are filled
|hot and not too full, they will not
break though sealed tightly, and
| none of the juice will be lost.
Strawberries are an exception and
cannot be canned by the above one
process method. A product of good
color and fine flavor, with a mini
mum amount of sugar can best be
i obtained by repeated heatings at a
! low temperature.
j There are many strange sights
in this world and one of them is
to view Wainwright, in the Arctic
region, from the air. Recent sky
travelers report that thousands of
I dogs can be seen staked out, and
! clothes lines, or rather reindeer
' skin lines, are all aflutter with
, reindeer skins being cured for
| clothing.
