PRIBIEOF NATIVES
BE MADE HAPPY
There will be rejoicing on the
Pribilof islands when the supplies
for next fall, winter and spring
arrive. New clothes for the men,
women and children, good things
to eat, ammunition for the rifles
and shotguns, household furni
j ture, medicines and other neces-1
sities will come by the ship load.
Enough to last a year. That is
the way the bureau of fisheries,
which has control of the islands,
buys. Bids on 1,487 different ■
articles have been called for by
the bureau.
Except for the employes of the
bureau of fisheries and the school
teachers, there are but few white
people on the Pribilofs; the rest
are natives. However, those of
the far North demand good things
to eat and wear.
Golf caps for men are specified
and nothing less than Paris gar
ters will satisfy the fastidious
dressers, of whom there are ap
parently twenty-four on St. Paul
and St. George islands. The
king of indoor sports on the is
lands, is smoking, and no less
than 3,125 pounds of the leaf
made famous by Sir Walter Ra
leigh are ordered in the specifi
cations. Cigars of the Manila
brand, 9000 of them, are wanted
in the North, and according to
the supply list ' ‘they must be at
least five inches long.” The St.
Paul islanders smoke “tailor
made” cigarets, while the St.
George men roll their own, in
consequence of which 1000 books
of papers are wanted on St.
George.
The women of the islands seem
to delight in fancy colored skirts,
but for some reason every re
quest, whether for gingham, per
cale or sateen, is marked, “send
no yellow.”
Among the foodstuffs 1240
pints of Worcestershire sauce,
1 six live turkeys, 100 pounds of
pickeled pigs’ feet, 24 pints of
sweet gherkins and hundreds of
iicans of apples, peaches, pears
and cherries hold forth visions of
repasts such as will be enjoyed
on the Fourth of July, birthdays
and Christmas.
The girls have not been neg
lected, either, for 180 cartons of
Wrigley’s chewing gum, 800
pounds of pailed candy and 24
pounds bonbons are called for.
It s a long and expensive bill
which Uncle Sam will foot when
the shipments go on their north
ern journey.
XI.WSliOYS TO ATTKMt
MOV IK SHOW TOMfiHT
R. E. McDonald, the movie
man, has arranged a very inter
esting and entertaining program
for the Daily Times news boys
for the first show tonight, and
will put on five reels for their en
jovment. The first reel will be
cartoons of the famous Newly
Weds, picturing “Lovey Dovey”
“ Snookums ” and" Da-da.”
This will be followed by a special
feature in which an artist laugh
ably sings so loudly that he
causes a hotel building to faii
down and then rebuilds it. This
reel is a scream and also carries
a moral. The Animated Weekly,
which needs no mention, will be
shown;'the Flash of Fate, a dra
ma of unusual merit and the
world-wide popular comic reel,
displaying the antics of "Mike
and Jake among the cannibals.”
These selections have been made
out of many other excellent ones,
and will appeal to the older peo
ple as well as the younger ones
and it is through the courtesy of
Mr. McDonald and the owners
that these rising young journal
ists will have the opportunity to
witness this extraordinary pro
gram. The chaperons, Messrs.
Smith and Bedell, of the Daily
Times, request the newsboys and
carriers to be at the Times office
at 7 o’clock sharp.

P. A. Boyce, formerly of Sno
homish, Washington, but now lo
cated in Anchorage, has just re
turned from a trip through the
farming district of the Matanus
ka valley and was very much im
pressed with the farming devel
opments in this section. He
spoke particularly of W. G. Stev-!
ens, who has an ideal piece of
farming ground four miles above
Matanuska Junction, and says
Mr. Stevens has put four acres
of ground in cultivation since
April 6th, and is experimenting
in watermelons and cantalopes,
in addition to planting the proven
crops of potatoes,barley and gar- ’
den truck, and will have a much
larger acreage under cultivation
next year.
Mrs. F. E. McKeage, who has
many friends in Anchorage, will
leave on the steamship Alameda
next week for Seattle. Mrs. Mc
Keage will spend the summer in
the States; making a tour of the
Yellowstone Park and the coast
towns, in addition to visiting her
parents in Salt Lake City Hon.
George Austin, Mrs. McKeage’sl
father, appears in the western
edition of “Who Is Who, ” and is
known asthe “Beet Sugar King”
throughout the west.
