DR. NEUMAN GIVES STONE
AGE NIGHT AT LOG CABIN
It was standing room only at the
Log Cabin last night where veterans
of the “Trail of Ninety-eight” heard
the story of a marvelous earlier
invasion of the frozen north that
made their Chilcoot saunterings
seem like pleasure excursions in
comparison. The story of the mi
,gration of the Stone Age Eskimo
from Northern Europe, over the
frozen Atlantic of the Glacial Age to
Arctic America was told by Dr
Daniel S. Neuman a3 the leading
feature of a “Stone Age Eskimo”
evening which he gave for the bene
fit of the Red Cross. Incidently he
took in nearly a hundred dollars
for the good cause, the money
coming from the sale of tickets,
and the auctioning of trinkets by
Frank Dean.
There are many theories as to
the origin of the Eskimo. Most
guesscrs as to his past assume
that he came from Siberia. Dr.
Neuman’s ethnological deductions
lead him to believe that the aborigi
nal inhabitants of this country fol
lowed the setting sun. The Doctor
has spent years of study in arriving
at that conclusion and is now pre
paring a book on the subject. Last
night he made the first public an
nouncement of his findings.
Nome has had the privilege of get
ting advance news on an ethnologi
cal sensation that is likely to create
as great an impression as Stefans
son’s “Blond Eskimo” theory.
Dr Neuman submitted many
proofs of his unique theory. He
showed that the weapons and tools
of the Eskimo were exactly similar
to those of the Stone Age inhabi
tants of Northern France, Germany,
Switzerland and Belgium. Placed
on exhibition in the hall were an
cient Eskimo relics, such as bear
spears, ivory picks, jade axes, etc,
that have been dug out of the
buried kitchen middens on Si Law
rence Island. With these he illus
trated his points. The numerous
reiice on eshibiticn were part of
the replete collection which is now
being stored outside, and which ob
servers say is the finest Northwest
ern Alaska collection outside of the
Smithsonian Institute. There were
many other proofs of the European
origin of the Eskimo, such as the
similitude of unburied Stone Age
skulls in Europe with those of the
cranial framework of the Eskimo.
Ho pointed out the difference be
tween the Eskimo and the Siberian
natives who live beyond the little
Eskimo colony at East Cape.
i Dr Neuman asserted that the
Eskimo had never invented new
tools or implements or improved
those he brought along, because the
conditons of life were too hard for
the development of ^inventive genius.
As a conscquenec the Eskimo of
the era preceding the coming of
the white man was no whit further
advanced than the migrating Stone
Age man of fifteen thousand years
ago.
Why the Eskimo left his ancient
home was lost in the mist of the
ages. The pushing of hostile races
is the most probable reason.
Walter Shields entertained the
audience with his magic lantern
slides of outdoor life in the north.
Pictures of native life on all the
Bering Sea Islands and the villages
of the northwest were shown.
That well known Eskimo, Doc
Aseruk, told an "Ipani'e” Eskimo
story that Dr Neuman introduced by
saying that he had submitted it to
the censors first and they had de
cided by a vote of three to two
that it was fit for the people of
Nome. The industrial Worker will
not take that responsibility and
suggests the reader interview Doc.

RED GROSS VAUDEVILLE
Every dtean upon the program of
the Red Cross vaudeville show
which was given In the Eagle Hall
last Saturday evening was a mark
ed success in every way.
Too much praise cannot be given
to Mrs Lewis Swing for the efficient
manner in which she had trained
each and every one of her pupils
who rendered some excellent selec
tions upon the piano at said per
formance. They were all good, but
the real star of them all was young
Carl Stevenson. He is what may
be termed the Paderwiskl of Nome.
Apparently the youngster is a born
musician of remarkable ability, and
under the tutorship of a lady who
has the ability of Mrs Swing he
evidently will develop into a genuine
professional. We believe tha't little
Elizabeth Holden was the next best
(at least she seemed to please the
audience to perfection) Her song
“Whiere do we doe fron here” was
surely very good. She deserves the
title of—Nome’s Mocking Bird.
Peterson, the strong arm man was1
a surprise His performance was
something unique for this town and
is was also very interesting.
The Southern scene was the main
hit of the evening. Everyone of
the young ladies did remarkably
■well. The club swinging exhibition
of Dick Kuhl’s was performed in
a scientific manner.
Dan Jones’ singing was equivalent
as in days of yore. The Scotchman's
dancing was done as though he were
20 years old. and he displayed the
agility of a squirrel in his rope
skipping stunt.
John Nicholas with is mandolin
was superb and Elmer Reed and his
male quartette reminded one of the
melodious opera singers of the South
Sea Jtes.
The music furnished by the
ochestra was excellent, and last but
not least, the speech of Mr. H. S.
Thompson was Interesting and very
appropriate for the occasion.
Mrs Swting, Elmer Reed and all of
the others who so ably assisted, de
serve great praise in so successfully
staging such a splendid show.
Doc Kemp as an auctioneer can
not be beatenr Doc’s peruasive
manner during the sale of the
White House wool seperatcd the con
testants $818.50. ■ Arctic Brother
hood $318.50, Mr J. J. Walsh $125 j
Judge Holzheimer $105.00, Arthur,
Laird $101 and $169 from the firts'
collection of 10 per cent from entire!
audience. Mr W. C. McGuire stated
that to date the sum of $1,689 has
been collected from various sections
of the Peninsula with several places
which has not as yet been heard
from. Mr Dean Chairman of the
Red Cross campaign committee, dur
ing the show read several telegrams
pertaining to Red Cross funds re
ceived.
It has been announced that the
Red Cross Drive for the week was
a success beyond expectations. When
the wool arrives it will be equally
divided amongst the aforesaid high
est bidders.
Just before going to press we
wore informed that a message had
been received from St Michael say
ing that Mrs. G. Browner was the
highest bidder for the St Michael’s
j proportional share of the White
j House wool. The total sum from
lover there amounts to $390,10.
