Correcting an item of the June
14 Gateway regarding the topo
graphy of Umnak Island:
There are two knolls of eonsid
eral size on Umnak Island—“Sno
wy Mountain” about 15 miles
from Nickolsky village rises about
7,000 feet above sea level and is
perpetually white. And “Tulik
Volcano” whcih rises several
' thousand feet high emits fumes
of sulphur gases and occasionally
steam p-fTs v huh indicate merely
a temporary P- p.
The eastern h 'f of the island
is largely plateau with lichens
and mosses covering the lava
scab rock. The western half is
largely covered with native grass
es, primarily beach rye, which at
* tains a remarkable height when
unmolested by sheep or cattle.
Vast fields of sphagnum moss are

( Editor’s note:We appreciate the
correction. During the Editor’s
recent voyage Westward, the many
stops, often for but an hour or so,
few opportunities to go ashore,
and hurried visit with those who
come aboard, it is indeed sur
prising that more errors were not
made. Villages viewed from the
drek of a ship cannot be done
full justice. Next year we hope
to make the trip again and, if
time permits, go ashore if only
for a few minutes.)

The is1 and of Umnak, once
peopled by 20 tribes is now popu

were “fish-eaters.”

Chesterfield offers richness, aroma, satisfying
flavor.
BETTER TASTE — that’s the answer; and
that’s what smokers get in Chesterfield in full
est measure—the flavor and aroma of mellow
tobaccos, exactly blended and cross-blended.
Better taste, and milder too!
