Long Salmon
Ladder

Work on a 1,575-foot salmon
ladder, believed to be the longest
in the world, will be started this
fall in the Rama river, North Nor
way. Running through a 7-foot
diameter tunnel, to be blasted out
of solid rock, the ladder will en-
able the salmon to reach the 81
mile stretch of the Rama river
above the 90-foot high Ranfossen
waterfall. Sponsors hope that the
ambitious scheme will increase the
salmon stock by 1880 tons.
Light and ventilation shafts in
the 1,10O-foot tunnel will be used
as observation posts, where tour
lists may watch the salmon climb
the ladder. The tunnel-ladder will
also be equipped with a photo
electric counting device to check
the up-river flow of salmon.
Total cost of the project is esti-
mated at Kr. $4,000, of which
Kr. 100000 will be paid by the
State. Assuming that salmon ac-
tually will go on to the upper
reaches of the Rama river, it is
estimated that the increased yield
should pay off the cost in few
wears

IF the shadow falls on you,
be sure to look up to see what is
between you and the sun. Not
only the cloud can cast a shad-
ow." Eelaypuk (Orpham was told
many times by his grandmother,
who had raised him.
He was in the age when his
agility and energy knew no
bounds. One could determine that
he was not yet a man, from his
smooth rosy cheeks and warm
brown eyes that reflected happi-
ness.
The early morning was bright
and warm, and the mosquitoes
were in clouds around him. He
wished that he could take his fur
parka off, that he wore with fur
next to his skin, but he knew that
he was better off with it on. He
felt that it was better to be too
warm than to be chewed up by
these tiny pests that sang and

and mouth.

good this time. AS his canoe
touched the shore, the bird came
frighteningly upon him. There
was nothing he could do but
crouch lower into his canoe with
his head bent down over his chest
and the bird grabbed him by the
shoulders.
Eelaypuk felt himself lifted into
the air with legs and arms help
lessly dangling. Strangely, he did
not feel any pain as he had antici-
pated What was keeping him
dangling was his parka. The
eagles talons were clutching his
parka, not his flesh If he worked
himself loose he could make him
self drop to the ground. He looked
down to the ground, but they were
already far up in the air. There
seemed to be no hope for his sur
vival. But prolonging the end was
all he could do now.
He somehow had to work him
self out Of his parka, while hang
ing on by clutching at it. His arms
felt like they were about to depart
from his body. The sockets at his
shoulders complained painfully.
Still, little by little, hand over
hand he climbed up towards the
bird. Soon he reached the big
claws that chung tightly to the
parka. He did not dare look down.
With body slanted upwards the
Bird was sill climbing. If only he
could Sc to the wings.
When EelaypvE g1ined the
birds broad and slippery back he
chung To the feathers with his
head pressed against it, He was
cold with wind tearing at his
shoulders. He could be thrown off
at any moment, as the bird SHOOK
itself now and then. Eelaypuk
could tell that the bird was aware
of him being on its back.
He took his knife, that was. i'm
i-s case at his belt, and tried III
cut 4 wing feather from the OLE
at the right. He did this easily
enough so he cut another one;
then he shifted the knife to his
left hand and cut two from the

desperately with his other hand,

wondered. He knew that the birds
always took their captives to the
mountains. With big feathers
missing the bird was losing alti-
tude. Noticing this Eelaypuk
talked to it.
please, set us down close to
my canoe, and land while you
can. I am going to cut every one
of your feathers" The big bird
only shook its body more violent
ly than ever. But Eeelaypuk no
ticed also that they were going
around in a wide circle He looked
down and he could not tell where
his canoe was.
Now they were going down the
bird glided beautifully. The wings
would flutter then glide. AS the
wing feathers became fewer and
fewer it seemed to lose its ferocity
and Eelaypuk was almost sorry
for it.
'Please set US down close to my
canoe" He kept on begging while
clinging to its back.
They landed on a little hill and
Eelaypuk cut the birds throat.
He stayed with it until it was
dead.
Below this hill there was a large
camp where his grandmother
was. After he retrieved his canoe
he went to notify them Of the
dead bird. Naked down to the
waist, mosquitoes were swarming
around him, but he did not care,
he was safe again.
The eagles death was made
known to many campers along the
SelaWik River. There were many
hat gathered TO the little knoll to
see the bird that was big enough
ID fly off with a boy. Its feathers
were plucked and with utmost
care 1T was skinned. The skin was
thick with its fat. The openings
that they had pulled the meat
through were seWed 50 the oil

caldron that was half full Of water
to be boiled. Many fires were built
and the meat barbecued. Red-hot
stones were dropped into the call

filled with its boiling oil. The ex-
cess grease that fIoated around it
was skinned and put into wood
en- containers.
Many times Eelaypuk had to
tell just what had happened, as
the preparation for the big feast
was in progress.
Eelaypuk lived long, happy and
prosperous life. So many had
wished him this, when they par
took Of his catch.
From this day on, when a boy
catches his first game it is dis
tributed among people to draw
good wishes. Words that are said
in gratitude always came true. So
to make a boy lucky at hunting
his first catch is given up to be
distributed. To this day this is
still practiced by many.
The bird skin cooked in this
manner is called "kutleen." Kut-
