John J. CuIlivun Shares Caribou
 With Lonely Films on By-Gone Christmas

three of them came to his cabin on their trek toward Anchorage. They had stuck the lean winter out until then. They had man. aged to live on the catch from their traplines and counted off the animals they had eaten. John remembers we'll that there were seven foxs, six wolverines, one coyote and one lynx. They were ravenous when they arrived at Johns cabin and 'they cleaned me out. They ate up everything l had. One ate so much that when they struck out for the trail, he couldn't make it. He had to come back to the cabin and rest for a while as he just couldn't walk"
 John, old-timer here, first came to Alaska in the latter part of May, 1922, and he has never been Outside since. "This country is good enough for me-" is his re- joiner when asked why he has never returned to the states. He was born at Bolivar, Missouri, January 10, 1884.
 Probably y for gold" is his terse comment when asked what brought him to the territory. He started his trapline in 1923 in the Tazlina and Nilchino district in 1923 and kept at it until 1929, which was the last year he trapped "and that was the last good year for trapping in that country as there hadn't been any thing there since," John says. For the first two summers that he was here he did some placer mining and in 1929 went into partnership with George Belanzer in gold mine at Albert Creek in the Nil chino district.
 When Johin was trapping he used to get his dog team in the early fall at Chickaloon to go on to his Tazlina and Nilchino trap lines. That's the coldest country in Alaska" John recalls, adding that at Glenallen the tempera- ture drops to 75 below zero.
 At the end of the season Johr would load up his furs on his dog 1 sled and return to Chickaloon where there was a railroad untl 1882 when it was pulled out

 in the Valley with more than 200 families making plans for Christ mas celebrations in the new land. Many of them, homesick for old ties and old homes, went to extra lengths to make it a wonderful Christmas here.
 Construction on the present gymnasium was barely completed in time for the big Valley Christ mas party that everybody got together and planned. A Christ mas tree that stood as high as the balcony was decorated with a myriad of lights, ornaments and tinsel. A Red Cross worker who had accompanied the Colonists to the Valley supervised the decora- tions of the gymnasium, which were elaborate and beautiful. Lights tWinkled everywhere and Alaskan evergreens were com bined with tinsel for beautiful decorative effects on the walls. There was music, Santa Claus had a gift for every child, and everybody was turned out in his best "bib and tucker"
 It was a beautiful party. The traditional, the old and well-loved customs once again lighted the hearts of young and old and in [ them they found courage to go on and wrest homes from this new, magnificent, forbidding land

Handsome Uniforms for School Bend Are Now On Order From N. '.

By the time Fur Rendezvous time at Anchorage rolls around, the Palmer school band should have the handsomest of uniforms to wear when participating in the annual Alaskan event. The uni forms have been ordered from New York for the 32 school band members and should be here within the next six weeks, Will liam Zahradnicek, superintendent of the school, announced this week.
 The uniforms are of royal blue with snappy San Browne belts in white leather. White braid and shoulder cords with gold buttons complete the trim uni forms, which have been ordered for both girls and boys of the school band.
 Valley organizations who have made contributions toward the purchase of the uniforms include the KiWanis clubs donation of $25O; the Palmer Moose Lodge and Women of the Moose; the American Legion Auxiliary; Min CTS Union at Jonesville; Butte and Cheechako Homemakers Clubs and the Lutheran Church.
 The uniforms should be here in time, at least, for the bands annual spring concert, Superin- tendent Zahradnicek said. They are of excellent quality and with the proper care should last for ten years, he added. The school band is uner the direction of Paul

There was a train there once week then. When John first came to Palmer in those early days there twas no Palmer" There was little freight came in on the rail road and that's all there was, John reminisced from the hotel lobby as he looked out on Pal mer's busy preparations for Christmas.

the ArCLlC, uke the COlQ that pierces a mans heart when in the stiffness and whiteness of that Arctic the calendar tells him that it is Christmas and he knows that he is all alone. On Christmas mornin of 1929, John J. Gallivan stepped to the door of his trap per's cabin on Tazlina lake to look out on that unbroken Arctic Whiteness and stiffness and to wish that someone, anyone, might come along that he could wish a Merry Christmas and with whom he could share his Christmas din- her even though it might be only beans. It couldn't be much else, John reflected, as grub was get ting low. He had been on his trapline since September and re- maining supplies would have to be carefully rationed to last until it was time to hit the trail for civilization again.
 John had no more than made his wish when he spotted the huge figure of man making his way to his cabin and as he came closer John saw that he was a white man. His visitors told him 1 that he was one of three Films who had a trapline some eight miles above Johns line on Lake Tazlina. John doesn't even re- member the Finn's name, but "pll never forget how starved he was, he said.
 As John prepared food for the visiting Finn, he told his story. He and his two companions had gone in to their trapline at Tag lima by plane and had been flown there by Merrill, one of the first bush pilots in this country Merrill had got them in all right, flying them and their steel traps and camping equipment in in two trips. He was to return on a third trip with the winters grub but Merrill never made that trip There were no radios in trapper's cabins in those days and neither John nor the Films had any way of knowing what had happened tC Merrill but they knew that what ever it was it was bad" as he wouldn't fail on his promise tc
 bring grub to men. out on trap lines.
 John later learned that Merrill never started that third trip as when he got back to Anchorage he made an in-between flight tc
 Flat, which was his last journey On his return trip from the Kus'
 kokwim village he was lost over
 the Inlet and no trace has ever
 been found of him or his plane
 to this day. Merrill, who had formed a small company Witt
 two planes at Anchorage, was
 lone of the best bush pilots this
 country has ever seen," John re
 calls. Merrill field at Anchorage
 is named for him.
 But the Films, waiting desper
 ately for the grub that never
 came didn't know that Merrill
 was lost and Johns visitor hae
 set out to try and find out wha the trouble was when he came across the trapper's cabin. Johl had hauled his supplies anc freight to his traplines some IA miles from here, by dogsled. H. made his headquarters at th'
 mouth of Eureka creek for hi eight-mile trapline that extended also to Big and Little Nilchin' rivers. It took him nine days t make a round-trip on his trap line.
