MILD WEATHER 18
PUZZLE TO INDIAN8
It is frequently said that winter
weather such as the district is
enjoying this season has been
noted here in the not distant
pant, but tho evidence of the na
tives is to the contrary.
Yesterday two members of the
Chena tribe were questioned as
to whether they discussed the
weather in their camp, and they
replied that they did. Asked if
they remembered another such
mild winter, they answered in the
negative. Further, they Haid that
not in the memory of their fath
ers or of their grandparents bad
there ever been such an open win
ter, nor is there any tradition of
the tribe to that efTeel--Fairbanks
Times.
