The natives of Alaska are surely progressing. The Eski- mos of King Island make an annual pilgrimage to Nome, where they dispose of their ivory carvings and mukluks, in the manufacture of which they are expert. They usually make the journey to Nome in large skin canoes, capable of holding several families with their dogs and other belong ings. The usual mode of pro- pulsion is by paddling, at which every occupant takes a hand. Last year, while in Nome, one of the more pro- gressive of the natives pur- chased an outboard motor, which he attached to his canoe by an ingenious device, with the result that he beat the rest of the tribe into Nome
 this year by about two days.
