Pioneer Alaskan
Here On Visit
Jens Anderson Kvamme, a resi
dent of Alaska for the past 54
years, spent a week visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Stover of Kodiak.
Lois Stover is his niece.
The Alaskan pioneer who spends
his summers at Aniak on the Kus
kokim River, where he has min
ing interests and the rest of the
year in California, mainly visiting
his niece, Helen Faulkerson, at
Santa Fe Springs, has had a long
and colorful career in the interior
of Alaska. He has mined at Nome,
owned a reindeer herd, and has
prospected in various areas in
Northern Alaska. He once had 200
head of reindeer until he was forc
ed to sell by Congressional action,
which prohibited anyone but Eski
mos to own reindeer.
Kyamme was born in Elvebok
ken, Norway in 1883. He first came
to the United States in 1901, and to
Alaska in 1906. He worked as a
prospector from 1906 to 1916,
when he bought 200 head of rein
deer at 75 cents each. He later had
to sell. Since then he has prospect
ed and mined mainly along the
Kuskokwim. Names of many pione
ers of Alaska are familiar to him,
he having known them personally.
Included in these is Harry Donnel
ley of Donnelly and Achesons.
His wife was Ella Marie Sara,
who died in 1958. Kvamme came
to Kodiak Tuesday, October 4 and
left last Tuesday for California.

A NEW INSPIRATION FOR THE MOTORING WORLD
Jr
You ere looking at the completely
new Cadillac for 1961—a motor car
that will inspire the automotive world
for years to come.
While unmistakably Cadillac in
stature and in majesty, it represents a
totally new concept in fine car design.
Its graceful silhouette reveals less
over-all length and increased head
room. Its delicately formed roof lines
provide an almost uninterrupted pan
orama of vision—while a crisp, new
sculptured design of front, rear and
sides confers a degree of distinction that
is entirely new to motoring.
Beneath this visual elegance resides
a host of dramatic engineering ad vance
ments—an even finer, quieter and
smoother-performing engine ... an en
tirely new front suspension system .. .
a lubrication-free chassis ... wonder
fully improved steering and braking...
and greatly increased maneuverability
and handling ease.
This new world of motoring pleasure
has been interpreted in eleven indi
vidual body styles—each with an ex
ceptionally wide selection of beautifully
crafted and appointed interiors...
and an unusually generous choice of
accessories, fabrics and colors.
Your dealer will be proud to introduce
you to the entirely new 1961 Cadillac
at any time. We sincerely believe that
you will find it an inspiration in motor
car quality and goodness.
