Like It ‘Outside’
SEATTLE, <A't— Three Eskimo
girls, on their way from Alaska to
the central Washington Fair at Ya
kima, aren’t too sure they like the
• "Outside.”
Clara Siverly, 16, who has never
been out of Alaska before, said:
‘‘It’s a mad rush. Everyone is
dashing aimlessly, it seems.”
Alma Teetuk, 17, also making
her first trip "Outside”; said the
street lights make things a little
too methodical.
• . One of the three, Mary Ohkiaya,
19, was in Seattle once before in
1941. Her comment:
“I’d rather live in Alaska.”
The three girls are from the Mt. i
Edgecumbe school at Sitka, newly
established by the Alaska Native ;
Service for the natives of the Far
North. They are going to Yakima
to present a 4-H demonstration of
three primitive methods of curing
salmon.
Their chaperone and home eco
nomics teacher, Miss Louise Da

"We could demonstrate how to

ENJOYS HIKE TO
MONUMENT MOUNTAIN
Last Saturday I left the school
house at 8:30 a.m. I walked all the
way out* Little Creek road, then
sunset road to Monument Moun
tain. I ascended the mountain in
the beautiful autumn weather.
Almost up the mounment rock, I
ran across six ptarmigan. They
were almost pure white and cam
ouflaged perfectly with the scat
tered white quarty rock. I con
I eluded that snowy weather was
not far remote because of their
j •
j color. The snow arrived the fol
lowing day.
The monument is surprisingly
large—about twenty feet high and
from a geological standpoint is a
good illustration of differential
weathering. From town, the monu
ment looks like a small bush on
the mountainside. I climbed the
mountain in back of the monument
and ate my lunch on the summit
at 12:30. The mountainous terrain ,
to the westward was glorious.
I walked all the way back, re
fusing rides, and arrived at the
school house again by 4:30 p.m.
The complete hiking trek can be
made in eight hours.
