Anchorage citizens have been asking for word and some of them are expected to be here.
 The stage is well set. The dance floor has been greased, the bar is up; the roulette, faro, chuck-a- luck and crap tables are ready for the gamesters. The bartender will wear a clean white linen coat and the music will be a revelation. The committee has continually sounded the note that the guests should come in costumes as near ap- preaching the days of '49 as possi- ble. People carrying guns are ask ed to have them loaded with blanks because shooting out the lights is expensive and liable to damage the building.
 Tn the voting contest. votes will be received at the regular polling places until 9 o'clock tonight. The ballots will then be tallied at the hall and the voting will be carried on there until II o'clock, when the winner will be announced.

something mysterious happened
there. He began to carve cut pieces
OF fat and cooked and ate. The whale
did not seem to enjoy this sort Of
treatment. and so oraWled upon the
shore and died. This happened to be
near a town where two boys heard
the raven calling, cut it open and
set me free. The boys were fright
ened and ran to the town and told
the people what they had heard. The
people of the town rushed out to see
what the wonderful thing vas.
They heard the raven calling, Cut
II open and let me out" They did
that and found the meat of the
whale extremely good They divided
up the whale aud the town was hap
by for they felt that they had meat
slowed up for a long time. The
raven wanted it.So it with his friend
Kaque. appeared as a man and they
walked among them as strangers.
The people of the town rushed to
them and told them of their good
fortune. As they told the story Of
the whale and the raven, they all
began TO appear very serious and to
shake their heads. Then the people
asked, What is the matter?" Then
the raven almost in tears exclaimed,
That was what killed the people in
our town" Then the raven advised,
TO save your lives, you had better
leave this place and build town
somewhere else OF you will all die. -
Then the raven and the Kaque went
away, and the Kaque was turned
back into a bird and watched to see
what the people in the town were
doing. They had a council and de-
cided to leave and when they were
all gone. the Kaque gave notice and
the raven and his friends had all
the meat of the town to themselves.

to age. The carver uses his ingenuity
to arrange these models to illustrate
the story which he wishes to picture
It is an error to suppose for
minute that any clan ever imagined
that his clan sprang from the animal
which was chosen as his totem.
There is no legend that would in any
way suggest such an idea. The
Indians were animistie That means
that everything was peopled by
spirits that were much stronger than
men. And a family was considered
important TO the extent that one or
more of its members had come in
contact with one of these spirits. So
then Indian legends go back to
time when men were not far re
moved from these spirits. This totem
is headed by two birds called
"Ka-sha-kaque.'
These birds We're servants Of the
raven when he was going about get
ting the world in proper shape for
man to live in. The curved bill that
they have was due to the fact that
the raven desired that fire be
brought from the west. The redness
of the setting sun caused them to
believe that fire was originally in
the west. These birds put pitch in
their mouths and flew to the fire
and put their bills into the fire, and
in returning on account of their
bills becoming soft because of the
heat of the burning pitch, they
were curved downward. These birds
are in some places called the chicken
hawk
These birds could at any time be
made into a man whenever the ra-
ven so desired. This accounts for
the figure of a man under the birds.

fond of fat meat and he found out
in some way, that there is plenty of
it inside the whale. So he flew into

of the mosquito has several different
forms. The one here pictured, is
that Of the great man eater that
lived in the north. Man after man
had been destroyed by the man eat
er until two hunters determined to
destroy It. They went in the direc-
ton where the man eater was ope-
rating They found the trap that he
had set for men and one of them pre-
tended To get caught in it. The man
eater saw him there. and the COM

his tools to carve the man. and pre-
pare him for eating As soon as he
went away. both hunters waited for
The return Of the man eater and
when he came they drove him into
tree and began to collect fuel and
banked it up around the tree to
burn him. When they started the
tire. the man eater exclaimed. Tho
you burn me. I viii bite You. As
soon as the body of the man eater
was burned, the men threw its
ashes up into the air and exclaimed.

particle of ash became a mosquito

THE TAGCOOK
TOTEM
Contrfbuted)

The totem that has lately been
finished and Grated and will be
shipped to San Francisco on the first
southbound boat has been named
after the carver. Tageook.
Tageook had charge of the Indian
display at the San Francisco fair in
1916 and this illustrates the posi-
ton he has always Occupied in the
totem pole world.
The log that was used for the
totem was the pick out Of a raft of
a hundred red cedar logs. So the
very best stick possible was chosen
for the pole.
The pole was ordered last summer
by Chester Weaver of the studeba-
ker Company. San Francisco, and as
soon as Tagcook could be secured he
was set to work on the pole. He be
gan about the first of November.
Billie Hooker wasseeured as his help
er. The first step in the carving was
to make a drawing on the log. This
in itself was no easy task. The out
lines of a figure which is to be
carved do not look much like the
object itself, and this is especially
true when the relief is on a log
rather than on a flat surface.
After the relief is drawn. the
carver on a large totem then takes
Ratchet and begins to chop along
the lines of the relief This requires
the utmost skill. One mistake in
chopping might spoil the whole
stick. After this is done. the actual
carving begins. There are certain
standard types on a totem pole
which the carver seems to take for
granted. The ancient models seem
to have been handed down from age
