splendor. The hands that carved it. during the past winter in the long low totem shed near Shakes Island may be Christian hands now but the blood Of those long dead anees- tors still runs in their veins. Their language is still the same gutteral and to a white man. uneomprehen- sive. Tlingit. One wonders if per haps they do not sometimes wish the white man had never come to rob them Of their old customs and tra- ditions.
 The story Of the Na-chee-su-na pole as related by Joe Thomas, an elder Of the Wrangen Indians. and pointed out in the carved figures is. briefly. as follows:
 The lowest figure on the pole. clasping the figure of 8 rat in his hands, Is In-ta-ka-ka-lin, which means flying under the water The rat was his strength, or spirit. This rat stole everything about the village and brought it to his master. When this spirit would come, the doctor would warn the people telling them his strength was coming and to tie up all their be- Iongings, salmon, oil meat, etc. or his strength would get them. This made the doctors people ashamed. They took council and decided the doctor must die. Taking a canoe down to the beach they filled il with the doctors belongings. his drum. tools and other articles, and laying the doctor in the bottom Of Iof the canoe placed a mat over him and padded out to sea. Now. In-ta- ka-ka-lin had a grandson who. when ' he learned they were going 10 drown ! his grandfather. cried all lhe time. The grandfather consoIed him by telling him that half a canoe would be his salvation
 Well out Co sea. the doctors rela- lives began unloading the doctors belongings over into the water When the mat was placed on the water, the doctor stepped on it and il began to revoIYe and disappeared under the waves AS soon as the mat had reYolyed out of sight a strong south wind arose breaking the canoe in half and all the relatives perish ed except the grandson who was blown ashore in half of the canoe. The center figure on the totem, the figure elasping the adze, is Ma chee-sU-na. He is the dominating figure on the pole because it was he who created the black fish between himself and the unfortunate doctor

While watching. recently. the raising Of the Na-ehee-su-na. the largest Of the totem poles on Shakes Island which rises straight and su- perl oYer the low roof of Shakes Community house, one could not help but give pause to try and Yisu- aIize the same procedure in genera tions past before white men's block and tackle were known to the na- tiYes Of Alaska.
 The Na-chee-su-na pole is fifty feet high with a circumference at the base of about ten feet. It is carved from a single. tall. straight cedar Standing in the warm, sun shiny afternoon, watching the men, like ants seurrying around a maze of ropes and tackle. shouting orders and warnings as the great pole slowly rose and feeling the strain of the ropes and praying that they would hold. the scene changed, in our minds eye, into generations long since past. The hurrying CCC crew turned into the brown, strong Hmbed. half naked bodies of their I5refathers grooming and sweating at their colossal task. The singing block and tackle became a row Of drudgery-worn slaves across the Community House roof tugging at native ropes made of cedar bark EhiIe from the ground below an ancient Shakes spirit seemed to have returned from the myth ieal Land Beyond the Mass to super intend a ceremony that meant so much to those who lived long ago. On the ground. nearby, one could almost see the trussed up slave, his dark eyes rolling, following the arc Of the Eagle atop the pole, as fl rose. He would be thrown into the deep pit first. as a sacrifice. One could almost hear the dull thud oi the butt of the giant pole as it fOl- lowed to crush his quiyering, bound body Then. as the pole finally shot home. standing before the House Of Shakes for all the world to see and admire, the hole was quickly filled and feasting and dancing would follow around the flickering light of camp fires that would cast the moving shadows into the quiet water of the bay and tree-lined shore. That was raising a totem in the days before white man and hls block and tackle; before the days when all men were free.
 However less romantic may be its erection in this modern era, the ma jesty and glory of Na-chee-su-na lives again in all it's yariegated

sea lion people could not see it whereas Na-chee-su=ua could. Ma ehee-su-na removed the spear. cur ing the boy and the sea lions chief gave Na-ehee-su-na a large blown up bladder containing the west wind and told him if he would gel inside the bladder would carry him 10 q grayelly beach ashore. Na-ehee-su- na did as he was told and soon found himself back on his home shore.
 Al night he returned Co his vil= lage and appeared before his wife. He told her to bane him his tools our in the woods and his wife did so. He built a sea pond that would hold water left from high tides ana saf down to create the black fish First he tried alder bark. but the usst only sank. Then he tried red cedar. but this would only swim and would not dive Then he took yellow cedar and the yellow cedar black fish would go up and down just like a fish He sent the fish to the village to destroy the peo- ple in revenge for having left him on the rock but told it never. after that to harm any one So. today you can go right up to a black fish in a canoe and it will not bother you.
 This story is no lie If you want to test it. take a piece of black fish bIubber and throw 1t on the fire and it will spark and crackle just as yellow cedar. IL is made of it. .f the old timers tell you.
 Next to the top figure on he to- tenn is Scow-qua. He belongs to the ! Killisnoo tribe He was a great hun : ter and ane day with two men. went hunting along the shore of Baranof . Island near Cape Omaney.
 Returning 10 camp they saw an eagle (the top figure of the pole) towing a seal ashore. Scow-qua took ] his paddle and hit the eagle over the head and started away with the seal. The seal regained consciousness and begged for a little piece of seal meat but the hunters refused. The , eagle. becoming angry said then neither should scow-qua or the oth- CT men have the seal meat.
 As you round the first point the eagle said, the man in the bow Of the canoe shall die. Around the next point, the man in the middle of the canoe shall die and you. Seow- qua will go back to the village and tell the news then you. too, will die"

Finds Relief From
Kidney and Bladder
Trouble

Il have been sick for two years. 1
have tried many things but could not
find any relief. I was troubled with
gas, bladder and kidney trouble. I was
tired out all the time and had to stay
in bed the greater part of the time.
I could not walk block before my
legs got so tired, and I was all in. I
was unable to get my housework done.
I suffered so much from headaches
and dizzy spells that I had to sit up
in bed, since I could not lie down
Several of my friends saw how my
condition was and the many things I
had tried without getting any relief,
and they suggested that I talk to
Wong Sun. After taking few weeks
of Chinese Herbs started to gain in
strength and now do my own house
work. I can walk now without any
trouble and feel so much better in
every other way. cannot say too much
for Wong Suns Chinese Herbs, as any
one suffering as I did and gaining so
in health can recommend his herbs
very highly"

as this woman did, try Wong Suns
