BAND SIGHTED BY FLYER ON LAKE GIVES INDIANS OP. PORTUNETY FOR FIRST MEAT OF WINTER.

Thanks to Noel Wien, Fairbanks aviator, Indians at Alatna now have a plentiful supply of meat. Flying from here to Alatna last week Pilot Wien sighted band of 500 to 600 caribou on a mile long lake about 30 miles from Alatna, according to a recent is- sue of the Fairbanks NeWS-Miner received via air mail this week.
 Upon arrival there he told of having seen the herd and the next day village hunters started out with 10 dog teams. They found the caribou still on the lake and bagged 43 of them. The meat was badly needed, since they had not had any for a long time. You fixed us up with lots of caribou" the Indians told the aviator. The caribou run does not always go in the direction of Alatna and for some time past the villagers have been confined pretty much to fish diet. In celebration of the successful hunt a potlatch was held with a big dance in the community hall.
