AL'/AYS USA T":A BY-PRODUCTS -The cav
i cache that the Cash Store has been
[building to store food in during iiie
l‘coming 4 months tie-up on the R .R •,
| is core,It looks like a nisely tim
ber eo c vVc- inside, and outside it
[looks something like a cliff dwell
ing in Arizona..!' ladder standing up
against it makes it look mere sc.
The. man who made it is one of the
hardest workers in town,but he ne
ver likos to use pick & shovel if
he can do hydraulieking,^c he got
‘out fire-hose' 2-Ain. hose,pairs cf
hose-,and such,! began to make the
mud fly.He had HarryKing & Paddy
(King 2 fine native Workers to help.
Harry is Chief cf the- Copper River
tribe. You should have seen the big
boulders--washc d down by the sluiser.
They put on a dirt A sod roof 6 ft
thick. The stones are nise and round
and about- the size and shape of a
man*s head.It seems a shame for such
nise rocks to go to waste as the na
tives use them for sweat-houses,to
get the poison out of their systems*,
J.L.Clough likes to do things in an
Alaskan stile.A man knew about this
and took him over some stones so as
to build him a sweat-house.But J.L.
had to go Outside, too soon to do it.
LOTS OF HI YU MUCK MUCK - The fine
tcacher f or t he Natives ,Mrs ,Uelehant
has put in a small tin-cannery in
her house & the Natives use it to
can the vegetables they raised,fish,
wild meat,beries etc.Each family
has a private shelf in the kitchen.
It is new kalsimin &. a sea green*
They have mossberry jclly.lt does
not hive any flavor.But is a beau*
tiful purple so the Native3 flavor
it with oranges because that is gcc&
for their children.The best thing
of call is that they ca^heir cwnftocL
rVHHRN? - T7hen the 2 men cajne up to
!build the new Native Hpspit«al the
;G^v»t forgot to tell them where to
put it,The men wanted it on the tun
dra but Ur. Gillespie said no,They
that they’d take Ur’s advise and
jbuild t up on the bench a little
'this side of the School.They had to
iwire t - Juneau to see if it would be
aa, it was, so they have ibegun it.
