KIVALINA NOTES
Kivalina. Alaska.
February 9. 1924.
Editor Nome Nugget,
Nome. Alaska.
By T. Andrews.
Kivalina has been favored with a
winter milder than usual, and with
nc specially sever? storms. The cold
est to date is 40 degrees below, and
this but once. For probably as much
as the last two months or more, how
ever, the thermometer has not risen
above zero at any time. Today it
stands at 28 below, with a strong
North wind, the snow driving over
the ground like smoke and drifting
behind anything that will afford a
protection from the wind.
Trapping has not prospered thus
far. a few foxes being all the catch
this season. One white bear was
killed at sea off this place, but on
m w ice that broke away and went to
sea before the skin could be taken.
Sealing has been very poor, not
more than twenty five or thirty seals
and one oogoorook being taken. The
reason for this is less cold weather
to make ice and the off-shore winds
which make going out on the ice
dangerous.
Tharlle Jensen, living near Tape
Thompson, was out sealing when the
ice-tleld on which he was traveling
broke away and went to sea. His
wife saw him going, got a boy. girl
and man to help her. and put Off in
an oomiak and went after him. She
picked him up but was unable to get
him back to land and stayed out at
sea all night without food or water,
and next day the party reached shore
over the new ice by abandoning the

come to Kivalina during the winter.
With the exception of Joseph Fer

Ibve miles to the northwest.
The sun did not shine at this place
■ from the 10th. of December, when
• if waded half-leg-deep in the ocean,
i until January 1st. It. probably

tlie last two or three days of Decem

it could not be seen.
The health of the people here has
[been very good during the winter.
One had case of infection of a wound
a few cuts and wounds and some
sore threats, with the usual chronic
rheumatism and one case of rheu
matic fever, are the maladies up to
tlie present.
We are looking forward to one
more mail by dog team over the
trail. The first mail team brought
very little, so we have really had but
one mail thus far this winter.

I fires are preventable. every one;
[should remove all rubbish and other!
[hazards, and ask the Fire Depart
ment for advice, watch lighted
matches and smoking materials and
above all else cultivate carefulness."
! It would iM>ssibly be within the
j bounds of reason to say that 99 out
|of every 100 fires are more or less
caused by some act of carelessness,
[probably not direct carelessness,
but in some way carelessness contri
buted a certain extent to the origin
of the blaze.
Carelessness in any form is one of
the most unforgivable sins committ
er1. in this day, and etirelessness with
fire takes on a double significance—
lAN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS
| WORTH A O.UJiOX OK CURE—Ob. j
j serve Fire Prevention Week by
CLEANING the FLUES on your
! houses and removing any old or
j newly collected rubbish in the vlcinl
!t\ of your homes. The Chief of the l
'Fire Department is always ready to j

I prevention of fires, and also will give '
suggestions on how to clean danger
|ous flues thoroughly.
