NO TIMBER BUT
HOMES GALORE
BERING SEA NATIVES BUILD
THEIR HOMES WITH
DRIFTWOOD
Although there isn’t- a tree for hun
dreds of miles around, 20 timber
houses have been built by natives
under direction of teachers of the
bureau of education on St. Lawrence
island in the Bering sea, a bulletin
published iby Dr. J. T. Wagner! Se
attle chief of the Alaskan division
of the bureau, says.
Driftwood, patiently gathered from
the beach, has been used in most of
the new homes, although some lum
ber has been shipped in, in small
quantities, from Nome and Seattle,
Dr. Wagner says. Skins also are
used in home construction.
“Semi-subterranean huts and skin
covered tents, filthy beyond descrip
tion, formerly were used as homes
by the natives,” the chief says in
his monthly news bulletin. The bul
letin goes on to say:
“With the steady advance through
the years of the bureau of education’s
school system, and other civilizing
agencies, these primitive conditions
have gradually disappeared, except
in some of the remotest settlements
which the bureau has not as yet been
able to reach.
“In many of the villages as the
result of education, the old huts have
ben replaced by neat, well-furnished
huoses, the homes of self-suporting,
self-respecting natives, thousands of
whom are employed by the great
canneries of southern Alaska. The
fleets of power boats belonging to
and operated by the natives are of
great service in transporting fish from
the fishing grounds to the canneries.”
Saturday night the Jolly Three or
chestra will hold another one of their
popular dances at Odd Fellows hall.

Glen Burrelle, Fairbanks contrac
tor, who has been to the westward on
a business trip, and who returned from
Seldovia on the Admiral watson, de
parted this morning for the Interior.
Mose Drews, mining man from Bea
ver, on the Kuskokwim river is a Se
ward visitor, en route to the States.
Mr. Drews is registered at the Hotel
Sexton.
George Nelson, big game hunter and
licensed guide, checked out from the
hotel Sexton this morning, leaving for
Skilak lake, where he and his partner
Henry Lucas, have a homestead. Mr.
Lucas, who also was a visitor in town,
left a week ago. Both expect to re
turn to Seward about the first of next
month.
The S.S. Northwestern is expected
to arrive in port from Seattle Friday
night, according to today’s report on
:he vessel’s position.
It isn’t gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder and makes power.
It’s gas—air, mixed in the carbure
tor with gasoline to form vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark plugs
and cylinder walls.
That’s why you get better mile
age out of “Red Crown”—and a
cleaner, sweeter-running engine.
