DINNER FOR ORPHANED FAWNS
i
Orphaned baby deer rush to "come and get It" when Charles Morrell,
Washington state game farm superintendent at Tacoma, appeara with
the dinner pail. The fawns, rescued when their mothers died, are tame
now, and it's Morrell's job to teach them to fend for themselves. He
makes them “wild" by degrees, first freeing them on a Puget Sound
island game preserve until they are old enough to take care of them
selves. Morrell has a dozen orphans in his “school” at the present time.

Skiis Found And
Thought Belong
To Missing Man
D.scovery by two Eskimos of
Igloo, of a pair of skiis and one
ski; pole the early part of the
week, has prompted further in
vestigation into the disappearan
ce of Lloyd Kinder, aged about
33 who was lost in a blizzard
e twenty-third of December
w lie skiing in company with
Chas. Esch and a companion be
tween the cabin of McDuffy, and
their camp at Jannsen’s quartz
mine.
A searching party sent out by
Commissioner Tanner returned
after a couple of days with the
report they coud find no trace of
the missing man, and the matter
was dropped for the last month.
The two Eskimos were on their
trap line near the head of Sin.
rock River and discovered the
skiis and pole on Glacier Lake,
said the report- They knew' noth
mg at first of anyone being miss
.r.g. but upon their arrival in
Nome interested parties quizzed
them concerning the skiis, and ac
cording to their description, as
told to Mr. Each, they undoubt
edly belonged to Lloyd Kinder,
the missing man.
Arrangements were made with
the Eskimos to return to their
trapping camp, and they left here
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Esch
and Pete Olson left Nome by
dog team this morning by way
of Snake River, while the Es
k.mos went by w’ay of Sinrock
River. They are to meet at the
trapp.ng camp, and go from there
about a distance of a mile, to
Glacier Lake and search beneath
the snow for Kinder’s body.
Both parties will probably
spend several days in that loc
ality, about thirty five or forty
miles from Nome. The Eskimos,
following the search for Kinder’s
body will remain on their trap
line, while Esch and Olson are
expected to return in three or
four days to Nome.

the Kennel Club is confident that
their enthusiasm will increase
every day of the contest.
Candidates are urged to start
now to solicit the cooperation &
assistance of their friends by lin
ing up votes. Practically every
necessity or commodity purchas
ed by the individual or family
will entitle the buyer to a corre
sponding number of votes. Near
ly every merchant in Nome will
g.ve votes with cash purchases.
A complete list of these will ap_
pea! in the Nome Nugget Satur
day.
The girl whose good fortune it
is to win the Queen Contest will
not only go to Fairbanks but will
receive transportation both ways
and expenses while in Fairbanks
in addition to being a guest of
honor and being entertained ac
cordingly. As soon as the contest
is well under %vay, it is the plan
of the Kennel Club to stage a
preview of all of the candidates.
This will be a public affair in
Nome, the time and place to be
announced later. The candidates
will pass in review in evening
dress and in bathing suits. This
will give the people of Nome the
opportunity to judge and pass on
the qualifications of the various
contestants.

offered to assist and coach each
candidate for this function. This
affair will be also advantageous
to the candidates as it will both
prepare and improve their chan
ces of success in the contest at
Fairbanks. Mrs. Whaley expects
to attend the Fairbanks Carnival

ed to act as chaperon to the Nome
Queen while in Fairbanks.
