Nome and who later became a pupil
of Mooseheart. the famous vocational
school maintained by the Loyal Order
of Moose at Mooseheart, Illinois, re

The winters are void, dark and
long. About forty days in winter1
there is little daylight. In mid-sum
mer there are no darkening shadows;
of night.
Because of the weather being so
♦■old no trees grow in or near Nome.
I never saw a tree growing until we
neared Puget Sound on our trip to
Mooseheart. No fa diming % done in
Nome either. Practically all of the
food, clothing and other suppllos-Vome
from Seattle ami San Kiranciseo. Ber

This prevents all navigation between

much dgied and calmed food* are used.

ing events of the winter. Most every

There is a Catholic and a public 1
school, besides one used for educating
the Eskimos.
From all these things so different
from those in the States, we came fo
Mooseheart. By sayiing we. I mean
my brother, three sisters and I We
found Mooseheart to be about as large
as Nome, th'Es was the only likeness
that I could see. The umoert striking
difference to me was that there were
no.sais and mountains. Mooseheart |
is just rolling land. However, we I
found the change quite a pleasant one.
The weather was especially agreeable I
to us. for we are not fond of the cold I

dome Warden M. O. Solberg re
cently returned from si trip into the
district north of Nome and reports thut
and valleys some distance back of
town. Until recently few of the birds
were to be seen outside of the timbered
localities, owing to the heavy snow
having ronemi the willow patches
over a large part of the country ad
jacent to Nome. Finding no feed the
birds returned to the points where
timber exists to obtain forsl and shel
ter. ' They are now returning to the
valleys In increasing numbers. There
have been few violations of the law
against killing the birds, but some
cases have been reported to Warden
Solberg and are being Investigated.
The Warden states that all offenders
who can he apprehended will be pros
