SMALLEST VOTE
IN LARGEST
T
t
(By Associated Press)
NOME, April 12. — Point Barrow
precinct, the largest voting precinct
In the world, did not take part In the
territorial delegate election last fall,
according to Information just re
ceived from IT. a. Commissioner Rich
ardson, at that place.
Richardson explained that the five
voters there, including the illiterate
wife of a trader, decided that as they
did not know anything about the
qualifications of the candidates and
had no Interest at stake, they would
not put the government to the expense
of taking a vote.
The Point Barrow precinct include*,
all of Arctic Alaska. It extends from
the Arctic ocean on the west to the
boundary line of Canada, Including
about 200,000 square miles.
Point Barrow twenty years ago was
the port of call every fall of scores of
whalers, which spent from two to
five years in the Arctic. Recently it
has been visited only by an occasional
trader or relief expedition going to
look up some section of the Steffan
son party. It has hopes, however, of
future prosperity as the result of a
world-wide demand for walrus hide.

GIFT DIVINE.
If a man have not love in his heart,
far better that he never knew the
light of day. for even as God Is love,
and love is God. so Life is love and
love Is life; without this one essential
God-given attribute, man must pass
through this plane of existence, un
knowing and unknown. We know and
are known as we love to leve right,
we must think right, and to think right
Is to be right—for "As a man thlnk
eth in his heart, so is he." \nnahel
