lraws harsh lines against such marri-
ages.
The young operators come up here
into the near primitive tortured by
their loneliness. The native girls,
many Of them decidedly attractive, bid
openly for their attentions. Their
greatest ambition is to marry a white
man. The love moon floats in the
northern skies. The fox, mink and
marten are mating, and the salmon
comes to spawn.
Old reserves are swept aside; the
tomorrows are not considered. And
abhorred the notion of marrying u
half-breed is swept away on his ILL
fatuation.
1t is for this reason that Uncle
Sam is interesting himself seriously
in the romances of his Alaskan en-
ployes-for the sake of his native
wards as well as the men entrusted
with his public service duties.
