the country, and the natives here are anxious to get the paper also, and we have passed it around every time that 1t has come, and some times we have sent 1t on up the line as some of the folks do not take it up the line and they are always glad to get it, so they may see the local news as well as the foreign news.
 We have been much interested in the news from Kotzebue, as we tspent three years there and WS are we'll acquainted with your correspondent from there and we are glad that she has taken to this work as it will be great help to her in her every day education; more power to Angeline.
 This has been the best winter for mail service that we have had in the Territory, and we have been in it for 16 years, atho the mail carrier lost his team and the mail l once for a few days, it all came in and we were glad that he re- covered his team as we'll as all the mail, and outside of that the mail was right here on time and in good condition, we are really glad that the dog team maili is to last at least another year as we do not have any landing field here for planes unless the ice. happens to be good, this year it was all right but sometimes 1t is not good fand-then -we-do not-=have- any chance to send mail out, they can drop the mail in coming, but can- not pick up the outgoing mail, and until we get a place for them to land on the ground the dog team mail service is far better. Keep 1t up, MT. Curran. Last week we had as visitor from Shaktoolfk, George Oulie, who was on a trip to Golovin for supplies, and Henry Ivanoff and his brother-in-law MT. Brown. the husband of Emily Ivanoff who is we'll known and has been a successful teacher for some time for the Office of Indian Affairs. until a year ago last winter when she went outside and was married and returned to Shaktoolik with her husband and has spent the winter there, and we understand she is the proud mother of a big baby boy.
 This is the last trip of the over.

 winter, and 1t is due in tomorrow with Willie on the handlebars
 rather 1t Is due in on Thursday

 is up as we have had such good
 service.
 The natives of Film held theil
 regular Easter services on Easter
 Sunday and they had program Iof music besides the sermon, and 1t was well attended, and Nassuk and his son Daniel were present as visitors on the occasion from Isaac's Point.
 It is quite distance out to |
 open water in the bay, but the natives have been going out and getting some Oogrooks and some seals, and as this is a pretty hard time for the natives to get white mans grub it is fortunate that they can get their native food, and they are making the best of 1t.
 Our school closes next Friday, with closing day program, and the children are doing fine with their practicing, and. we are plan ming on a full house. We are iH the hopes that Misha Charles, one of our mail carriers will be able to be here this time as he never gets to see any of the entertain ments of the school in which he has four children.
 The snow is getting very soft in places in the daytime as the sun ise shining so brightly dbfing the day, but it freezes little at night.
