SALMON ARE LARGE
L. G. McKee, service man for
the Smith Canning Machine Co-,
of Seattle, manufacturers of the
“Iron Chink,’’ and who has just
arrived n the city from Bristol
Bay, brings word salmon being
caught this year are large in
size, averaging about 10,1-2 to
the case- The opinion has been
voiced by cannerymen that runs
of large fish are indications
of a small run or season pack. In
any case, the outcome of the run
is still in doubt.
CLEANLINESS and the best of
meats our motto. Fry-Bruhn’s.

In every town and city there

man but this story is not of
Seward but of Valdez, one of
the neighboring towns.

I Potato Test Recommended
for the Purpose of Telling
the Character of Women
I I
! If a man wishes to learn the j
i character of the girl he wants
! to marry he should watch the
I peeling, cleaning and cooking of
potatoes: if she peels them thick
she is extravagant; if she leaves
ithe eyes she is lazy; if she uses
| a great deal of salt when cooking
I the lowiv spud she is greedy; j
i if she allows the vegetable to
1 burn she is negligent.
| In case the girl evades these
i many illuminating ptfalls, now
: published for the first time, the
i man should marry her without
| any hesitation whatever, regard
less if she is rich as a miser's
dream or poor and as ugly as a
mud fence with a face not even
a mother could love.
By adhering to the above a
man can’t go wrong; he will
have a wife the envy of many
and happiness (prosperity doesn’t
mean so much) will be his ever
and anon.
INOFFENSIVE RACE
OF I1UITS SAID TO
6E D09AAED, ALASKA
I --
(Continued from yesterday)
“The Alaska Innuit are rapidly
decreasing in number, owing to the
contaminating influences exercised
over them by the whites. Unless
immediate and strict measures be
taken for their preservation this
gentle, inoffensive race is doomed
to speedy extinction. There is
much evidence to show that up to a
recent date they were exceedingly
numerous.
“Prior to the coming of the white
man, villages, having from 500 to a
1.000 inhabitants were thickly dot
ted along the entire coastline. In
certain districts, where food was
abundant, as around Point Barrow,
Point Hope and a few stretches j
along Kotzebue and Norton Sound,!
even yet are found ancient vestiges 1
sufficiently extensive to warrant!
the opinion that these particular |
settlements must have numbered as j
high as 5,000 inhabitants.
“The inroads made by the whai- !
ers upon the food supply of the In- j
nuit in. their slaughter of the wal- j
rus and the dreadful effects pro
duced upon the natives by the in
troduction of liquor and disease can
only be fully understood by those
who are familiar with these people.
Nothing but the utmost vigilance
and care can avert the total exter
mination of the native inhabitants
of our Arctic coast.

sion upon the native language, but
.consists only of a few words desig
nating imported articles of trade.
The words “Bidarka, bairabora,
tundra and parka”, are entirely
Russian and never used by the In-'

language respectively as “kiyak,

“Frequently villages are named
