The neatest crop- of apples in
Southwestern Alaska was harvested
last? fall by Elmer E, Carson, a well
knofen oldtime resident of Hope. This
mattes the third crop he has toaken
>ff 4iD trees, which are of the trans
oarint and crab varieties? and in com
jmrtson with the crop harvested the
previous fall are much larger, have, a
■vondorful fragrance, and are firm.

For eight years Barlow lake has
booh fish less, says the Dawson News.
In former years, .before 1917. the lake
used- to teem with whitefish and gray
ling, but sudilenljt they disappeared.
Some say *h*t a sudden explosion
caused the death of all the finny in
habitant.-* of the hike, while others
contend that the lake froze so tightly
i!W winter- that the fish were suffo
?aied At any rate the fish have re
turned to Barlow lake. W.hitefish and
grasyling are now swimming in this
ooiJ yof watar which was without a
single trace of any of the fish specie*
for so many years. Undoubtedly the
high water last spring vas-the cause
of <the fish returning to the lake
whore they once .flourished in great
numbers.
