Umnak Residents
Visiting Here
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J. Harris,
Nikolski Village, Umnak Island,
are in town on their return to
the island after a few months
Outside. They will continue the
trip with the Garland Friday
night.
Mr. Harris is the owner of
the Harris Aleutian Livestock
Company, which operates on the
south end of Umnak, which is
leased from the government.
They have about 4000 sheep at
the present time and some cattle.
He is making arrangements to
ship fresh mutton into Seward
by early spring.
Mr. Harris says that while
visiting in Oregon there were 18
consecutive days of snow. There
is more ice and much more snow
than in Seward and it was not
until they started back north
that they had good weather.
They always enjoy visiting
in Seward, Mr. Harris said, be
; cause the people are so friendly
here! The Harrises, with then
little 22 months old daughter
are the only white family on
the island, except for the two
school teachers and a small
Naval installation on the north
end of the island, which is 68
miles long.

By Mildred Kirkpatrick
One ox the absolute essentials
to the winter lue of a home
steader in Aiasica is a pair ox
snowshoes. lie might as well
try to uo without snoes, or run
! a car without tires. They are not.
the most expensive item ox
equipment, but they are certain
ly the most important when it
comes to getting about in deep
snow.
It lias always been the custom
in the Worth Country tor a man
to leave his snowshoes standing
in the snow at the end of the
trail, alongside the highway,
or outside of a cabin, in abso
lute confidence that no one
would bother them. In olden
days, the man who would steal
another’s snowshoes would just
as readily take another’s life.
It is possible that people new
to the country may not realize
the truth, and when seeing
snowshoes or skis alongside the
road, they would suppose them
to be lost, or just anyone’s prop
erty. Some people might not re
alize that it may mean life or
deatli to the owner.
Yesterday m Reward, two
young men were sentenced to
jail tor appropriating and sell
ing a pair which they found
near the highway at Homer.
This was swift retribution, and
may appear a stiff penalty, but
it must be made plain to all
comers that the first law of this
land is the respect for other
people’s property.
With the opening of high
ways, we can expect a greater
amount of trouble in this re
spect, but we certainly do not
want our friends on the Penin
sula feeling that contact with
Seward will also leave them
open to depredations from Sew
ard incorrigibles. We do not
put up with it here, and we cer
tainly do not intend to inflict
any such trouble upon our
neighbors.
Law enforcement officers,
both local and Territorial, art
determined that lids shall not
be the case. They are, and will
continue to do their utmost to
maintain peace and order, and;
to make living sale, if it can't
be easy, on Kenai Peninsula.

Kasilof Means
"Land of Grass"
(Continued from Page 1)
the market each year from this
little community.
Because the long-haired fur
no longer is popular, the original
fox farms closed down and it is
only until this past year two
new settlers have started into
fur farming again at Kasilof—
this time with mink.
Transportation Was Seasonal
Transportation in the early
settlement of Kasilof was seaon
al. Winter travel was entirely by
dog team. When an emergency
arose, teams would trek over the
“old mail route” to Lowing on
the railroad which took an aver
age of three days traveling. In
summer, gas boat travel on the
Inlet served the people. It was
not uncommon to wait over a
tide or two or three days for the
expected boat to arrive and
bring one’s freight or take on
passengers for Seldovia or An
chorage and way points on the
Inlet.
Now airplanes and motor
freight serve our community.
The Sterling Highway from
Homer to Seward has connected
old and new villages along the
Cook Inlet side of the Kenai
Peninsula directly with the out
side world.
In recent years, farming and
fishing have become the most
popular occupations of the peo
ple of Kasilof. This locality has
become known as the most suit
able area for raising potatoes,
grasses, and for truck farming.
The new Sterling Highway
has opened up a “Utopia” to the
rest of the world.
