KING ISLAND AND ITS
 NATIVE POPULATION RICH
 IN HISTORIC VALUE

tSpeclal Nugget Correspondence.
 As is their usual custom at this time of the year, the King Island CTS visit Nome annually to dispose of their ivory and curios and in the fall depart again for nine long months of winter on an island situated in the middle of Boring Sea, where they are unmolested by civilization of any kind.
 In the near future the King Island natives will give an exhi- bition of their primitive and pre- sent customs in one of the local halls, and as some of their GUS toms are prehistoric, it should be interesting and educational, to see how primitive man, without any accessories of civilization oonquer- ed and thrived under the adverse elements of the Arctic.
 To understand and appreciate the exhibition it may not be amiss to give short sketch of the is land and its inhabitants.
 King Island is but a short dis tance of about 100 miles to sea from Nome. it's length about two miles and its breadth one and a half miles. It rises sheer from the Boring Sea to a heighth of eight hundred feet to fiat top that is possibly half a mile square and that would probably make q good airplane landing field with a little effort.
 The island is strewn with boul ders and has several caves, two of which are used as cold storages end the meat-walrus, seals and other mamals that are killed dur ing the winter months, as well as tish-cod, halibut, crabs, etc, are soon frozen and remain frozen during the summer time, thus as suring them of q plentiful supply of food at all times.
 Outside of the top of the rocky mountain, there is hardly a level spot on the island, and the cabins which they occupy, while comfor- table. look fantastic perched on poles on the side of the hill of rocks. The Catholic church, re- gently built by Fathter LaFortune is fifteen feet from the ground at one end. it had to be built so to obtain level.
 During the long winter nights the ivory, obtained from the wal rus. after seasoning is skillfully worked into many forms and dur ing the summer with other pro- duets of their industry, is sold during their summer stay in Nome
 Ethnically, they are of Mongo- Ian origin, but tradition lost in the midst of time, does not say from whence they come or when but the natives of the Diomedes who claim to be of the oldest stock, admit that the King Island CTS were before them.
 The earlier navigators, Cook Behring and others, noted this island, but its inhospitable ap pearance. prevented landing and later the whalers for similar reasons passed it by, and thus their blood is of the purest of the Eskimo, and as they are inuret to hardship, they are physicall! the best representative of the Els

CANADIAN POWER
TREATY REJECTED
Senate Committee Turns
Down Pact for Further Nj
agara Falls Projects.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Foreign Affairs Commit
tee today rejected the Niagara Falls
power treaty with Canada unanimously.
Tho treaty has been pending before
the committee for some time and pro-
vided for the ALLEGATION of additional
power from the falls to both Canadian
and United States power interests.
Chairman Borah announced the
committee desired to have the power
matter treated as a separate matter
from the other treaty provision relat-
ing to the preservation of the scenic
beauty Of the falls.
He related the testimony of Brig. Gen
Pillsbury of the Army Engineers that
the contract for power allowed under
the treaty would be worth SIS, 900 900 to
the power companies.
In a statement issued after the unani-
nous decision of the Foreign Relations
Committee, Chairman Borah said:
The Foreign Relations Committee
favors, however, all reasonable action
upon the part of the United States to
preserve the scenic beauty of the falls.
1T objects to this treaty because it
purports to enter into a contract with
private companies to do certain work
and for which they are given the use
of certain amount of water for power
purposes.
1T is the view of the committee that
the Government of the United States,
in so far as its part Is concerned, ought
TO do this work direct and not enter
into a contract with private power
companies and pay the price which Is
here proposed to be paid"

John w. Davis, Democratic presiden-
tial candidate in 1924, was selected to-
day to represent the Senate in its court
test of the right to Office Of Chairman
Smith of the Power Commission.
Davis selection and acceptance was
announced today by Senator Walsh.
Democrat, Montana, who has led the
Senate controversy with President Hoo
YER over the Power Commission.
The former presidential candidate
notified the committee he would be
busy on private matters for about a
week, but would arrive in Washington
as soon as possible to discuss the case
and open legal proceedings.
The selection of Davis, acknowledged
as one of the foremost lawyers OF the
country. assures a spectacular trial of
the constitutional conflict which has
arisen between the President and the
Senate over Smiths position.
The Senate rejected TIN nomination
of Smith after once approving it.
President Hoover however, denied the
legality of the Senate's reconsideration
and retained the chairman.
1t is believed that Attorney General
Mitchell may personally represent the
President in the court test, which mem
bers of the Senate Judiciary Committee
believe will eventually go to the Su-
preme Court.
The committee which selected Davis
is composed of Sena tors Norris, Repub-
lican, Nebraska; Steiwer, Republican,
Oregon, and Walsh.
It considered a number of nationally
known lawyers including Chairman
Wickersham of the Law Enforcement
Commission, who was Attorney General
under President Taft, and former Sen
ator Pepper of Pennsylvania.
