hitch the dogs out and set out on
foot to an Indian fish camp about
three miles through the woods. I
tried to buy fish for the dogs, but
the Indians were having a drunken
pow-wow and refuse dto sell me
any fish. In the bright moonlight
I walked to Scotty Creek Trading
Post. They had 50 pounds of dog
food and I took it back in the
morning.”
He met dog “refueling” disap-!

Tucker w’ith his guitar, also ac

and played two beautiful western
songs. It was obvious that Cor

stage. His numbers were well re
ceived.
Jack Estes, of the Bering Sea
Club entertained the audience
; spellbound with his versatile
performances on the piano.
The ease with which he changed
from mood to mood was evidence
of his training and accomplish
ments which kept the audience on
edge. Jack, remained on the stage
and accompanied Jane Galvin
who sang “Temptation,” so metic
ulously expressive and colorful un

were really in Nome or in an out

resounding applause.
