WALRUS
 CATCH
 SMALL

As compared with the walrus catch of last year, the natives l ave taken but few of these animals. Over two hundred were brought i14to the village year ago while not more than half that many have been killed this year. The ice-pacK uriven by U VI wind, ! ,,s.334 tinued so thick along the shores that the wal us kept to the ot er5ide of Fla = away Rock. k ot until about J1ne 1O5Il were many walrus seen. At that time the canoes with some sliIfic lily worked their way through the ice pach to Far away Rock They reported over two hun Ted passing northward within Il few hours. These canoes were fort unate in getting from four to SIX each at a catch.
 The skins are valuable for canoe covers and ropes. Four to six are used to cover a canoe. These are seWed to- gether with thong and stretched ov 4 the frame work of wood from twenty o thirty feet long, and four to six
 eet wide.
 Ootooktok has the banner catch. To date his canoe has caught 19.
 The large number of oogrook big seal caught by the natiyss will help out some, these taking the place of wal us for come of their work. Ana mokowaknot's canoe brought in twen- ty o1 one trip.

Two Canoes returned from the Lit tie Diomcdes today and reported e .glt steam whalers near the islands. They had caught several whales. None of the ships have visited the Cape, probably on account of the ice in the straits. They also report the pre5eace ef a small gasoline schooner. While ther1 she traded barrel or two of whi5koy to the natives.
 Eskimos Increasing.
 According to ths census of the pres ent year the Eskimo population Of Cape Prince of Wales is inc easing. The births for the year number B; deaths Il; making an increase Of Il III total population of 376.
 During the last fifteen years this will age together with the neighborlng villages on the coast suffered two epi- demics that carried away a large part of the population. The increase in mum bers since the last epidemic in 19O0,- has been slow, and largely due to the death of children.

The Vlsco Ranch was the scene of a lively time Thursday when wildcat was spied near the house. The cat was pursued by Nelson, the youngest mem4 Der of the family, a boy of nine, and his dogs.
