The Umnak natives have recently
built a new housing over the older
| housing covering the stump of the
j “Tree of Divination.” There is an
I interesting tale how this “Divine
Tree”' once grew here, extending
upward as far as the eye could
discern, it was a shining, dazzling
sight, and the mere sight of it
gladdened the heart. Then suddenly
it disappeared, but its stump still
remains. This was carefully cover
ed, for whosoever should gaze on
this “cast off part” should develop
eye troubles. A half century ago, a
| housing was built over this stump
which completely shut out the cur
ious gaze of children. A score of
paces toward the rising sun was
built a church and now a new, and
[larger church has displaced the
; other. Orthodox customs prevail
and every native attends the many
services.

Chief George Ermeloff recent
ly built a new dory which he plans
to take to his fox island next month.
The chief is going to erect a new

the warm breezes of the Japanese
current.

hard to beat. Over 125 tons of the
big. fat western codfish have been
salted away by the crew this sea

SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS
On Alaska waters, in sight of
snowcapped mountains he loved
so well, the ashes of Capt. Howard
H. Bullene, pioneer master marin

ships being sent from the Coast

service of the Alaska Steamship
Company for many years, says
the Juneau Empire.
Mrs. B. Garland of Ketchikan,
sister of Mrs. George Hamilton,
died there recently, reports the
