Straits from the Arctic Ocean to
Bering Sea.
The King Islanders, as they are
known left Nome late last sum

Last winter they had poor luck
with polar bear, their most expert
hunters reporting sighting only one
polar bear track. A peculiar hunt
ing season from all angles was ex
perienced. For instances, the blue
cod, a rare fish caught in Bering
Sea was plentiful. Walrus were not
very plentiful but considerable iv
ory was obtained despite the hard
ship of having to hunt these ani
mals at far distances. „
Chief John Oulanna, known to
Nomeites for many, many years was
again at the head of the party ar
riving at Nome after the long win
ter on the island. Arthur Nagazaruk,
Bureau of Indian Adairs school
teacher returned to Nome for the
summer, as did many of the other
well known King Island Eskimos.
There were some 50-odd school
children attended this unique school,

One more boat-load of King Is
landers is expected to arrive at Nome
soon. It is believed this boat sail
ed to Teller to sell skins and
oil. There were only two deaths on
1 the island home of these hardy Es
kimos during the past winter—one
an old man and the other a young
one.
Last fall they reported that the
most terrific storm in the history
of King Island to all reports occur
red, mounting twenty feet above sea
level and snatching two big drums
of gasoline—used by the natives
in their Johnson outboard motors,
to bring them across Bering Sea to
the mainland and back.
There was much snow on King
Island this past winter and almost
all of their houses were covered
over the majority of the time.
The voyage from King Island to
Nome was made in about 15 hours
running time, about an hour or so
being spent at Cape Douglas where
the expedition first touched.

Being Held for Time
Information received in the last
mail from the states to Grant R.
Jackson, President of the North
western Alaska Chamber of Com
merce, from Delegate to Congress
Anthony J. Dimond, indicated that
the Nome Federal Building and new
Nome school house proposals were
still “hanging fire”.
The question which appears to be
holding up the appropriations for
both of these buildings in addition
to federal buildings for Anchorage
and Ketchikan, is whether the funds
can be obtained from the four bill
ion dollar emergency public works
fund. At present, said Mr. Dimond's
letter the belief is that it will require
a special act of congress to author
ize these federal projects. Auth
orities class the Nome school house
in the same category.
Due to the fact that the president’s
$4,000,000,000 fund must be devoted
to emergency public works, it was
believed that the federal houses
would not come under this classi-1
fication. There is a move under way
it is understood to have congress
pass a special form of legislation to
take care of federal buildings all ov
er the United States and Alaska.
