to have a recreation hall of their
own if plans already OK’d by the
corporation go through.

folks across the river have decided
to build a 28X50 log hall for com
munity purposes. The only expense
to the corporation will be the
roofing, windows and floor.
In some instances Butte colonists
are nine miles from Palmer.

RETURNS FROM HOMER
Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen returned
Thursday from Homer where she had
gone in connection with her work
for the Extension Division of the
University of Alaska.
Homer is located on the coast
in the south-west oortion of Kenai
Peninsula, and boasts a population
of about thirty families. There
are two schools and only 12 miles
of road in the whole district.
Farmers there piece out by fish
ing a couple of months of the year
and many are making a good living.
Some wash gold out of the beach
sands instead of fishing, and all
gather their fuel by picking up
coal along the shore; coal that is
washed out of exposed ledges by
wave action.
There xs also some fox and mink
farming, hut it is the agricultu
ral possibilities of the area that
brought nine new families there
this past year. All of them are go
ing in for sheep raising.
There has been considerable
talk about a colony similar to thi;
being established at Homer and mucl
interest has been shown in the dis
trict quite recently. Six thousand
pounds of Homer beef came to Sew
ard on the boat that brought Mrs.
Fohn-Hansen.
The yarn arrived during her
absence, Mrs. Fohn-Hansen reports,
and all interested in knitting are
psked to drop in at her tent.
