BLONDE NATIVES
“THROWBACKS”
OF WHITES
SEATTLE, Dec. 27 (By Associated
Press).—Atavism explained the disco
very of “Blonde Eskimos" In Victoria
Land in the Arctic, reported by Vilh
jalmar Stefansson, in the opinion of
James R. Crawford, a member of the
second Stefansson expedition, who has
come out of the north for the first
time in 15 years.
The blonde natives are “throw
backs” of early white explorers,
Crawford believes. He expressed sur
prise that the existence of an entire
tribe of blondes was generally be
lieved. He was with Stefansson
when the blondes were discovered.
“In Victoria Land,” Cranford said,
“there are probably three hundred
natives, in which these light Eskimos
are found. But there are fewer than
a dozen of the blondes, so far as we
wre able to learn in the entire land.
They had grey eyes, light eyebrows,
reddish brown hair, and their skins
are slightly lighter than that of their
brothers, although not noticeably so.
“The natives made it known that
they had never seen white men be
fore, and probably they had not.,’*
Crawford said. “But their ancestors
did see white men, probably looking
for a\new land, who never lived to
get back to civilization.
“There was one little girl who pos
sessed the most pronounced markings
of blondness, the daughter of two
dusky natives, whose hair was black
and who had black beady eyes. The
parents knew of no reason for the
reddish hair and gray eyes of their
offspring.”
Crawford who was married shortly
after he had returned to civilization
on the steamwhaler Herman, which
had picked him up on a floe near
Victoria Land, intends to take his
bride north with him when the ice
breaks in the spring.
ALASKA ROADS
WILL GET BIG
SUM OF MONEY
-4 ~ ■■■—
Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., has about
completed arrangements with the
Department of Agriculture for co
operation in the road building in the
First and Third Divisions of Alaska
through which the Agriculture De
partpient will expend $128,000 on
roads in the sections mentioned
The expenditure will be under the
co-operative plan. The Territory has
agreed to expend $78,000 on the road
projects on which there will be co-i
operation, and the Alaska Hoard of
Road Commissioners have agreed to
put $14,000 of its funds in these roads,
making a trtal expenditure of about
$.20,000.
It is partly to complete the arrange
ments for the expenditure of this
fund that Major W. H. Waugh, head
of road construction for both the War
and Agriculture Departments, has left
fqr Washington, D. C. The money will
be expended under his direction dur
ing the 1920 season.
The co-operation of the Department
of Agriculture in this work will be
greater proportionately than in any of
the States. The rule of the Depart
ment is not to bear more than 50 per
cent of the cost of the roads that
are built through his co-operative
plan of Federal and State construc
tion. More often the percentage is
far less. In many instances it has
been as low as 10 per cent. The plan
arranged by Gov. Riggs contemplates
that the Department of Agriculture
will bear more than 58 per cent of the
construction in Alaska. The Territory ,
will bear something over 35% pet
cent and the Federal Alaska Fund,
under the Alaska Board of Road
Commissioners, a little less than 6%
per cent.
The Territory’s share of this co
operative fund will be borne by the
appropriation made by the last Alaska
Territorial Legislature for the bene
fit of the First and Third Divisions.
