LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and Justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be reaHzed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

BREAD IS CAKE,
FINGERS ARE FORKS
BUREAU EDUCATION TEACHER
DESCRIBES ESKIMO FEAST
AT KlVALINA
Husbands wiho kick when the
steak is too leathery or the eggs are
fried on the wrong side should
praise all the gods that they are
not Eskimos.
In a letter to J. H. Wagner, chief
of the Alaska Division of the Bureau
of Education. Mrs. George Morlander
describes an Eskimo feast at Kiva
lina, Alaska.
til
Pupils in Mrs. Morlanders class at
school baked 344 rolls and 256 dough
nuts a>s the American dishes for the
banquet. Bread is still a novelty at
Kivalina and eaten as the piece de
resistance, as Americans regard cake
or candy.
And the doughnuts in this case
were fried in lard and seal oil! The
natives devoured them ravenously,
but the white families had to get out
of the building to avoid the aroma of
the grease frying, Mrs. Morlander
says.
Chief among the entrees was an
immense kettle of deer meat, maca
roni, tomatoes and rice, cooked to
gether like a mulligan stew. Boiled
seal meat was another delicacy serv
ed. There were pans and pans of
hard-looking native bread.
Bread dipped in seal oil and kettles
of soup made ‘of all varieties of meat
were served to the very oldest inhab
itants. The only utinsils used -were
spoons and fingers.
Husbands usually object when the
wife makes them walk two blocks
to the store for a quart of ice cream
but here’s the way Eskimos make
their ice cream.
Early in the morning a woman sits
on the floor before a dish pan filled
with reindeer tallow. This has been
cut up into small pieces. Mrs. John
Eskimo plunges her hands into it,
up to the elbow, just as Mrs. Seward
woiks with bread dough. She squeez
es the fat thru her fingers, kneads
it again and again, until after a few
hours’ work it becomes a creamy
white and at the end it is a foamy
white substance wdiich looks like
our ice cream. To this she adds
blackberries wrhich have been pre
served in seal oil for months. The
fat takes on a bluish tinge, and it is
now ready to serve as a special treat
for the youngsters.
After this doesn’t a real dinner
of beefsteak and onions and pie
sound heavenly?

BILL IS INTRODUCED
JESSE IE SCHOOL
Word was received today that a
bill has been introduced in the House
appropriating $20,000 for the con
struction of a school building in the
Mission School district near Seward.
The Jesse Lee Home and U. S. Radio

The appropriation for this matter
is one of vital importance to this
district. It was learned the other
day that some opposition exists to
the appropriation. The Seward Cham

at once and authorized a committee
of J. P. Hannon, A. E. Rucker and
H. T. Hatten to wire members of the
Legislature to ascertain the source
of any opposition to the bill. Tele
grams received today indicate that
no serious opposition exists and
there is every indication that the bill
will pass.
Dr. F. E. Warner, representative
for Alaska of H. K. Mulford & Co., of
Philadelphia, manufacturing drug
gist, arrived from the Interior yester
day and will remain in the city until
Saturday. He is registered at the
Van Gilder hotel.
One of the new Mikado locomo
tives made it’s initial appearance in
