The Nugget's Pnalakleet correspon-.,
dent reports under date of June 10th
that the exceedingly small vote cast at
the special delegate election there was
duo principally to the fact that most
of the voters were out hunting at the
time the election occ urred, and, as the
trails were in poor condition, the Sha
ktolik voters wore prevented from
coming to 1'nalakleet. Interest in tie*
election was very slight at best and no,
one bothered themselves about It.

Nearly all the native inhabitants
had scattered along the coast for the
Spring fishing and other residents had
betaken themselves io various fields of
endeavor. Dias. Traegar was at St.
Michael looking after the store of Tra
der Williams, who had gone to Nelson
island with another man named Brad
ley to start a trading station. Rev.
Almuuist had doffed his clerical'garb
and donned that of a trader and store
keeper and was engaged in looking
after Tmoprar’s store' while the owner
was at St. Michael.*
Kran’k Beeson, who is looking after
Road Commission activities, had pitch
ed his <4tmp at Gardner's Point and
was awaiting supplies to commence
road and trail improvement operations.
The correspondent says thp natives are
gradually changing into tillers of th*i
soil. New gardens had made their
appearance with the advent of Spring
and old gardens showed increased dl
mansion*. v As a result, Unalaklee
presented something of a patchworl
appearance with green spots inter
mingled with patches of newly duf
ground. The fishing is reported un
commonly good and salmon, trout an*
herring wore being obtained by tin
boat loads. In consequence the dog?
were waxing fat and the resident?
were smiling broadly as they watched
a good portion of their winter food
supply salted down and figured how
they were beating the war profiteer’s.
