THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, I936 PARTY ARRIVES BY PLANE FROM NOME, DEERING Merchants, Enroute to States, Favor Manufac- ture of Goods in North (Continued 1rom Page One) tablishes a record for the King Is- landers. The technigue of rigging and ap- pliances included on the boat clearly demonstrates the ability tive carvers. Both old and new ivory were used in construction of the hull and parts of the equipment. The masts, spars and railings are made from the jawbone of a whale. The rigging is made from sinew and whalebone, and the sails are made of of oogaruk gut. The pegs with which the ivory is held in place are made from reindeer horns. Mr. Polet stressed the importance of changing the practice of exporting oaly raw materials from the Terri- to nd expressed the opinion that uch materials should be manufac- tured into finished articles in Alas- ka before export. As an example, he stated, the owners of the Nome- Douglas reindeer herd, some 300 na- tives in the Nome district, have com- missioned him to sell 2,000 raw rein- deer hides for them in the states. | These hides will bring a purchase price of only about 75 cents each in the raw state, he said, whereas if they were tanned they would be worth about $10 each, and if made | up into clothing—jackets, coats, gloves, ets—would be worth about 850, the difference between the last figure and the price of the raw hides representing the loss to Al- aska in labor-hire. The educational authorities of the Territory are doing a great deal to teach the natives how to make cloth- | reindeer hides, | ing from seal skins, Start the day right on Wings of the Morning —Schilling Coffee! Start right in the kitchen. Start with the right coffee— the correct coffee of the na- | and furs, Mr. Polet said, and the Indian school at Nome includes training of that sort among its regu- lar subjects. The Northern Air Transport, of which Mr. Polet is secretary of the board, now operates 11 planes from Nome to Fairbanks, he said, and there is a possibility that within the nea: future their operation will ex- tend ot Juneau. Mr. Polet has been a resident of ‘Nome since 1900, and his son, Alvin | Polet, now a member of the Nome City Counci, was the second student | from Nome to enter the University |of Alaska. His daughter, Mrs. W. A. Boucher, of Nome, was the first stu- |dent born in Nome to complete a (college education. Mrs. Boucher is a |graduate of the University of Wash- | ington. Trading Post Chain Boris Magids, who travelled from | Nome to Juneau by air in company with Mr. Taggart and Mr. and Mrs. Polet, operates a chain of trading posts in the Kotzebue Sound district, | with stores at Deering, his headquar- ters, Shishmarif, Kewallik, Candle, | and Kotzebue. He is enroute to the States on a buying expedition and expects to return aboard the Vic- toria. Mr. Magids is agent for the Standard Oil Company, the Alaska Steamship Company, and operates a lighterage business. Two tugs and a number of barges are used to re- Kotzebue Sound ports. “Every Way But Swimming” S. W. Taggart is proprietor of a lumber and building material com- pany in Nome. The present trip is his fifth journey by air between Nome |and the States in the past 2 years. { “I have travelled in and out of the north by every possible means,” he said, “except swimming. I have never done that yet.” Mr. Taggart left Dawson, after a residence there of |5 vears, in 1902, and left Fairbanks in 1907. The four air travellers left Nome |on Friday the 13th, and were forced by weather conditions to fly for sev- jeral hours at an altitude of 13,000 | feet. | Pilot Barr, who brought the Nome | passengers from Fairbanks to Ju- neau, arrived in Fairbanks several Wweeks ago to meet Hugh Brewster, Aeronautics Inspector, for the pur- | pose of having his plane, which was brought from Texas last winter, re- -'mensed However, Mr. Brewster was {duarantined in Anchorage during ‘the recent scarlet fever epidemic, |and was unable to go to Fairbanks, ‘so temporary relicensing was accom- | plished by telegraph. i Pilot Barr brought the Pilgrim | from the States equipped with wheel landing gear and shipped ski land- “mg equipment direct to Whitehorse. | He changed from wheels to skiis on |his way to Fairbanks, and changed |back to wheels at Whitehorse on the journey from Fairbanks to Ju- | neau. He landed at the PAA airport vesterday on wheels without diffi- culty. | Customs Office For Atlin { It has been feported that a Can- |edian Customs Office will be in- |stalled in Atlin, B. C., in the near future, Pilot Barr said, and he will ’probably fly between Juneau and Atlin this summer. He expects to remain here until after the arrival | of the Princess Norah. Mr. and Mrs. Polet, Mr. Taggart, move freight from steamships to ' ‘CHARLIE CHAN' NEVER IN CHINA PLANNING VISIT Warner O]and a Swede, | Taking Trip to Orient with Hisi Wife HOLLYWOOD, Cal, lie Chan, in the person of Warner Oland, a Swede, has set out to see | China for the first time. As Chan, in pictures, Oland has been to Shanghai. For that matter he has well nigh covered the earth on film. Any countries or capitals he has nof so visited will be accounted for in the future, for the Chan Film | series shown no signs of losing pop- |ularity. “Charlie Chan on Mars’ inot such a remote possibility as it | may seem now .

Asked how he can appear convinec- ingly the aid of make-up, he said: “It may sound ridiculous, but I've decided it may be because I've played the part so often. I have noticed that Chinese and Japanese children rear- ed in this count: Criental appearanc ble the thing wo too So it is poss: the other way No Chinese Blood “I discredit,” he chuckled, “the guess Bob Wagner once made in hi magazine that at some time in c turies past some of my Scandinav- ian ancestors must have sailed too far east. But I do not deny that I may show, to some extent, Chinese characteristics.” Well read in many fields, Oland has been spurred by Charlie Chan roles in the last several years to cover considerable ground in Chi- nese philosophy. Keye Luke, Chan’s eldest son in recent films, and Frank Tang, one of the Ciian sons in sev- eral pictures, frequently bring books on the subject to his attention. Oland has been on stage and screen too long to be suspected of an “act” where his Chan roles are concerned, and he is sincere in his preparations for the role. While a Chan film is in the making, Oland foregoes social life and even—in the interest of greater concentration— |brings lunch from his home and eats in the seclusion of his dressing room. Concentrates On Roles “Sincerity should not be con~ demned,” Oland said, “and I find I actually can almost be Charlie | Chan when I give myself the chance | to concentrate.” | Chan is a very real person to his screen creator. “Charlie Chan at the Circus” is the eleventh of the series which begar r 1931. Oland ‘and Chan have “uved together” consid- erably.
