TELEPHONE ANDY SIMONS, LAKE KE NAI ANYTIME, DAY OR NIGHT : Unless the natives along the lower Yukon river lay away re serve supplies of dog salmon of which there has been an unusually plentiful supply this summer, there will be some very hungry families during the coming winter, accord ing to Charles Gerhart, oldtimer of the Interior, who was in Anch orage recently on his way to the Mayo clinic for a consultation with the specialists at that institution, says the Anchorage Times. Mr. Gerhart is an oldtimer of the Interior and for a number of years past he has been operating a trad ing post at Holy Cross. Scarcity of furs and demoralized •market conditions have cut into the incomes of native trappers to such an extent that they have strained their credit along the lower river to the limit and there is the prospect of a hard winter ahead unless the natives take full aavantage of the food supplies which a bountiful nature is pro viding this summer.
