MATANUsKA POOLING THE CRITICS.

In view of the volume of adverse publicity which has been given the Matanuska Colonization project it is interesting to note report the undertaking from an Alaskan, which would indicate that despite admitted shortcomings of the enterprise, progress has been made and there reason believe it will continue to be made
 E. i.. esas.Iuson wei .,..own aiaskan banker and Republican National Committeeman for the Terri tory, has recently returned to his home after visit to the Matanuska Valley Commenting in the Anchorage Times on his visit, MT. Rasmuson said:
 They appear to work not only in perfect
 harmony with another but in a friendly
 and sympathetic understanding with both new
 and old settlers well
 The homes have good looking exteriors,
 cozy and comfortable interiors and are in-
 habited by cheerful families who laugh and
 express their surprise at the balmy weather
 they enjoying in Alaska against what
 their former neighbors are suffering in the
 States.
 Gun newest. Aaskans and neighbors talked
 freely and cheerfuly of their possibilities
 there. Large clearings around some of their
 homes and huge piles of wood evidence their
 strong arms and sincere intentions of making
 good for themselves and for their children.
 When of MT. Rasmusons knowledge of the north and it's conditions progress in the Matanuska there is ample to believe actual progress is being made and will continue to be made. The remarkable thing about the colonization
  reported Quickly conceived and hu1riedy put into operation it attracted the public gaze than any like enterprise in the history of the nation. Not since the gold rush has much publicity been given Alaska great part of it written by persons who spent couple weeks vacation the project and then did their worst with the aid of few mosquito bites and longing for the metropolitan atmosphere of Chicago New York. The natural tendency was to magnify mosquitoes the tent and the hardships while ,ipir Inc for eof too many obstacles. But it begins to be evident that most of the critics figured without the human element They overlooked the fact that the Coloniss who went to Matanuska just the ordinary run of Americans down on their luck. Like a similar group under like conditions there would be few who couldn't take it. the slang of the day goes But the average of the with staying qualities and grit in the Matanuska is high They have beaten the initial hardships, and in view of the furore that created around them throughout the United States, it is to their credit that they have what it takes When considers that the Alaska colonization program is little less than year old, the strides it has made are nothing short of astounding

Fleet Brings Back MiIady's
Shoes and Soap in
the Raw.

'Mllady, dressed in the height
of fashion, rarely thinks of the
storn-swept Arctic seas where
sturdy ships have been crushed,
burned, and blown up in the race
to fill staunch hulls of the New
foundland sealing fleet with seal
skins and fat, from which her fine
shoes, pinseal handbag, and costly
toilet soap may be made" says
a bulletin from the Washington,
D. c., headquarters of the Nation
al Geographic society.
"With the lengthening days of
March, thousands of mother seals
come up through 'bobbing holes
and bear their young on the shift
ing ice fields north of Newfound-
land. Innumerable little furry,
white puppies lie among the ice
pinnacles, gaining weight at the
phenomenal rate of two or three
pounds a day.
Daddy seal goes off with his
cronleS to boast about his young
.ster. Mother seal stays home and
does the work. Hour after hour
she scours the adjacent icy seas
for fish. She does not feed fish to
her young, but gobbles great
quantities herself so that she may
provide abundant rich milk for
her offspring.
''When a baby seal is about
two weeks old and resembles a
fat roll of butter, it may notice it's
mother shifting the air suspicious

hulk drifts close through shattered

but, as several of the intruders
draw near, it's startled mother

"Ear1y in March a small fleet
of SCARED, ice-breaking ships sail
out of the bottleneck of St. Johns
harbor, bound for seal-peppered
ice fields off Labrador. Steamers
smash their way through grinding
ice, guided by members of the
crew in lookout barrels high on

zied preparations among the mill
ing crews beneath.
cat the call, Over the sides!',
nirnble, raw-boned men jump out
on spinning pans, armed with dog
wood bats having iron hooks and
spikes, razor sharp knives and
light drag-ropes. Acres of moon
eyed white pincushions await the
fishermen curious and unafraid.
"The sealer attacks his quarry
with his bat, expertly husks off
the sculps (the skins and adher-
ent fat), leaving the carcasses
steaming on the ice. Three or
four sculps are strung on
rope, by which the sealer hauls
them to one of the colored mark
er flags where several men pile
their catches. Later, the ship
breaks through the icefieIds to
these piles. The sculps are hoist
ed aboard and dumped into fat
soaked holds.
"Back in port, the fat-layers are
cut off the pelts and rendered into
a fine odorless, colorless oil.
Rough skins are transformed into
fine leather. The oil is consti-
tuent of some soaps and also is
used as a lubricant, as an il1urni-
mating oil, as an adulterant of cod
liver oil and in treating leather.
Seal skins are cut and sewn into
boots, pocketbooks, and novelty
leather goods"

A HOME that was built on a

Fe trail where it passed near Ar
row Rock, Mo-, on. the Missouri
river. Though not quite completed
in single day, with the, help Of
his neighbors on that holiday"
about a hundred years ago, Henry
Nave got his cabin ready for his
family and the day after Christ
mas took them into his shelter.
Of course the house was built Of
undressed lumber, felled right on
his farm. When he had selected the
location this pioneer cut down
round poles for the walls, rafters
and joists-the framework.
Mr.. Nave had found some large,
fiat stones, and in the afternoon
they dragged these into place for
the hearth. Then of other suitable
rocks, by much putting and pulling
they built a fireplace-one of those
great practical ones which served
to heat the home and to cook ven
ison, buffalo meat, corn pone and
other ''victuals." The exterior of
this fireplace was wood, the stones
providing fireproof lining.
The mortar to bind the stones
was chiefly mud; to obtain even
this simple ingredient it was nec-
essary to build fire in the middle
of the half-constructed cabin and
thaw the ground.
