in the town the other day. His daughter, Dorothy,
is Mrs. Norb Nathe, now of Anchorage, Alaska !.
rush days look like a mild injection. Norb re-
ported last August that the $500 pop of Anchorage
had gone to 5000 from April to August. Carl
says that reports from his daughter are that
the town has been invaded by 10000. Imagine find
ing quarters for 10000 more people in this hamlet
of 5000 which compares roughly with Anchorage.
. He says that the Nathe's bunking four in
their house. one sleeping in the basement and an
other their davenport. And in one house,
she pointed out, that fellow has full basement
that nightly finds 10 in sleeping bags. It's new

blizzard. He put them out in the field, found
some days later they were being eaten. He
traced the scavengers. There he found-a den of
nine skunks-hdes of which partially remunerated
him for turkey loss during the storm period.
Jewery industry too feels the pinch of war, we
learn. It affects mainly diamonds watches, and
cut canoes. :. Diamond cutting done mainly
in Holland and England; the boys are trying to do
some here now. Canoes were an Italian product
and harder to get than toenails from q rattle
snake. -. Watches of the Swiss variety-of which
there are many-are suffering in imports. Which Is
giving the American watch industry chance to
show that its product is generally superior.
