"The Danish Government thru its
consulate in Seattle has made appli

natives ot Greenland in the care and
management of reindeer when defin
ite arrangements have been made
with the Danish government as to sat
ary, transportation, etc.
“The contract entered into will
cover a period of four years and will
provide not only for salary, subsist
ence and transportation from Alas
ka to Greenland, but return travel
expense to Alaska. In all probabil
ity, the Eskimos selected will be first
invited to Copenhagen to receive fin
al instructions. The District Super
intendents have been requested to
make nominations to the Chief of the
Alaska Division of the best men avail
able.”

Placer Dirt Is Being
Exposed Glacial Stream
If the glacial stream continues to
cut down into the gravel at the rate
it has been doing during the past
ten days, without question there will
be a number of rockers seen in ac
tion. Some years ago, when the
stream went on a rampage, the grav
el was panned and the fact estab
| Hshed much gold was in the sands.
The present channel has now cut
down again to this sand, it is stat
ed. Business men shoud prepare for
the stampede when the first yellow
is struck.

LATOUCHE
Way in the North,
In the land of the Lord
In the Kingdom of freedom and gold,
Dreaming in dreams
Among glitter and gleams
Of days, that’ll come and of old—
There lies with his mountains and
streams and bush,
| That beautiful land—the Isle La
j touche.
The mountains so high
They reach in the sky,
So grand and with colors so gay
They want joy to come
Up there-where from
You can see the glorious bay
And Alaska Land—that’s so wide
and far
And so lustrous and free as the morn
ing star.
Oh, this scenery
And the lakes you see «
And streams a-rambling bold,
And the waterfalls
High over the walls
So clear and brilliant and cold
You feel like a man, so .free—so free,
In this land of splendor and mystery.
Some day, you may
Go away
To the South for a month or more
But, some day, my lad
You’ll be back and be glad.
And happy as never before
For Alaska, is just the place for you
As the land for the strong, for the
brave and true.
—WM. EMMRICH.
