One Indictment
Anchorage — Une of eight
counts in two indictments
charging Stanley McCutcheon
and A. U. Hassman with
breaking territorial banking
law’s was dismissed Monday in
Third District Court.
The dismissal of the one
count came on the grounds
the charge cannot be prose
cuted under the statute of lim
itations. It accused the bank
ers of making an excessive
loan to the Matanuska Valley
Hotel on Jan. I, 1949. The
three year statute of limita
tions ran out Jan. 1, 1952, and
the indictment was not re
turned until the following
November.

Arctic Trading
Tricks Revealed
Traders operating in the
Arctic around the turn of the
century occassionally came out
on the short end of the deal in
some of their business dealings
with the Eskimos, Charles
Madsen told the Rotary Club
' Tuesday.
Rotary Club 5533 heard the
forth of a series of tape record
ings by Madsen following the
regular luncheon Tuesday.
Madsen told of the goods used
by the Traders, which con
sisted of flour, sugar, tobacco,
rifles, beads and other com
modities.
For such goods the traders
received seal, fox and polar
bear skins as well as ivory.
Black tusks of ivory were
valued higher than the con
ventional white and yellow
pieces, Madsen said. One tribe
of Eskimos found that by
burying the ivory in a certain
' lake that it would turn black
after a few days. i
Madsen traded tor such a
I piece but upon arrival at
Nome, where he sold the j
ivory, his black piece had!
turned yellow. He explained (
that after being removed from j
the mud and water and ex- j
posed to the air the blackness 1
disappeared. j
He told of another clever,
Eskimo who sewed a fox tail
to an Arctic hare skin and sold (
it to a trader for a genuine fox
skin. |
Madsen’s recordings will be
transcribed next year and he
hopes to have them published
in a book. He has written to a
publishing company and has!
made arrangements. j
Guests attending the meet-1
ing were Birger Nelson, Ernie;
Harding, Lcdr. Don Coogan, j
John Cushing, Dick Lightfoot |
and William Mills.
