Carnation. It is the most eco
nomical milk for cooking and is
remarkably convenient. One half
water, one half Carnation is the
correct formula for cooking and
drinking. For desserts and in cof

undiluted. Buy this good milk
regularly from your grocer.

NORMAN RUSSELL RECEIVES
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT
Norman Russell, messenger in the
employ of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, is the proud possessor
of a personal letter from President
Wilson, commending him for his
energetic work in boosting the sales
of thrift and war saving stamps at
a time when funds were sorely need
ed by the Government. The letter,
written at the White House on
October 26, 1920, reads as follows:
My dear young friend:
It gives me pleasure to tell
you of my deep appreciation of the
intelligent and conscientious man
ner in which you, as a member of
the Boy Scouts of America, have
secured subscriptions for Thrift and
War-Savings Stamps.
You have won the distinction of
having secured m ~e such subscrip
tions during the 1918 War-Savings
campaign than any other scout in
Alaska.
You have exercised couraged,
courtesy, thought and untiring effort
and in so doing have set an ex
ample for all boys—an example that
will surely aid in the growth of
valuable qualities of mind and heart.
I thank you in the name of the
whole country, and I wish to con
j vey to your parents, your commun
jity, and your Boy Scout Organiza
tion, my appreciation of the train
’ ing that has developed in you such
' * fine spirit of wholesome and
loyal citizenship.
Cordially and sincerely yours
WOODROW WILSON*

JACOBSON SAYS
TRAPPERS TAKE
WINTER LAYOFF;
- i
The slump in fur prices has re
sulted in a general suspension of
trapping along the lower Yukon
river, according to Victor Jacob
son, who arrived in Nenana yester-;
day from the Nome country, where
he was employed during the past
summer as captain of the mail boat
Sea Wolf. Both white and native
trappers, he says are very much
down in the mouth and the set
tlements are not nearly so prosper
ous as they were a year ago when
furs commanded a higher value.
Jacobson left for Bering sea in
the launch Peerless last spring, soon
after the opening of navigation and
the summer was spent aboard the
Sea Wolf, carrying mail between
St. Michael and Kotzebue.
Some very rough weather was
encountered during the season, one
storm causing the Sea Wolf to lose
two anchors. This happened when
the Wolf went to Sledge island, to
the rescue of the trader Colima,
which went on the rocks on the
island, resulting in the loss of a
$10,000 cargo. Owing to the posi
tion of the stranded craft, the Wolf
was unable to render any assist
ance and, after losing two anchors,
Captain Jacobson was compelled to
make a run for Teeler for protec
tion against the storm. Those on
board the Colima managed to reach
the island.
The Colima was equipped with a
40 h. p. engine and was regarded
as a staunch craft. The foundering
resulted from getting water in the
intake during the storm.
Jacobson did not get across to
the Siberian side of Bering sea
but he heard that Japanese pirates
| were giving considerable trouble on
the coast.
iuc uiavxun. is fault i quicw
this winter, Jacobson sa s, but the
people of Seward peninsula are look
ing forward to a very busy season
during the coming summer. Nome
is becoming an important center
for Bering sea traders and the
harbor work there, which is being
done by the Government, gives em
ployment to a considerable number
of men each summer, at top wages.
The scale is $1.25 an hour, for eight
hours, for common labor. Firemen
get $11 a day, engineers $12 and
bosses $14. Some of the men got
in 120 shifts last summer. i
Jacobson brought some old irory
with him from the Nome country,
his collection consisting only of the
better quality ivory. It is too far
to haul any other kind, he says. ]
The trip up river was made in
22 days, traveling time, with 17
dogs, attached to two sleighs. Victor
Jacobson handled one of the teams,!
and Ole Jacobson the other. Ole
and Gee-pole Larson operated their
sloop, Gertrude, during tho, past
season, trading and freighting.
Victor Jacobson expects to leave
for the Outside within a short time,
but will be back in the spring in
time to make a*" early start for the
lower country.
John Carlson, owner of the Carl
son roadhouse, on the Broad Pass
trail, arrived in town last night on
a business trip, and will return to
his establishment on tomorrow’s
train.
The Fairbanks train was two hours
late leaving the upper town this
morning.
