Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Kaufman, 6504 94th street, gave a New Year’s dinner to friends, fol lowed by a Christmas tree party for about 30 children belonging to frienrlj and neighbors. The tree was filled with goodies and presents to delight the hearts of the youngsters, and was enjoyed b- them to the limit. Games and music by the children furnished the entertainment, which was v-:»j.TA «I bv all fortunafe enough to Ge present. Violin duets by Master« Louis Levett and Ed ward Kaufman and singing by Miss Zena Levett and recita tions b’* Master Ralph anil Miss Ruth Kaufman were especiallv enjoved. Delicious refreshment« were served, after which all the children danced * around the Christina« tree and sang "Amer ica.” Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Grubman and family. Portland.

Good old-fashioned dance music on the violin was rendered during the evening by Merritt Seeley. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Nelson, of 8 1st street and 67th avenue, have had as gtiests Mr. and Mrs. Reinier, of Marshfield, and Mrs, Nelson’s niece and husband, Mr. and Mrs. James Cox and chil dren, of Alaska. Mr. and Mrs. Cox have been in the government service teaching the Indians In Alaska. Mr. Cox carried mail. Mr. and Mrs. Cox and their two boys who were there, one having come out about two years ago to live with his grandparents at Marshfield, were very sick witli the flu while it was so bad among the natives in their little settlement. The Indians died off like flies with only such care as Mrs. Cox .could render with the facilities she had. When she was stricken they had no one to help and many just starved. It was a pitiful sight to see the mothers being taken to the little burying ground to lay beside their dead babies and the older children. They dug a trench and wrapped their dead in a blanket for bur ial. Mrs. Cox says she never wants to see such suffering aggin. There were «inly a half dozen grown-ups of the native« to take care of the little ones left—nearly a hundred. Nurses and doctors were sent up there by the government but for some reason they did not seem to re lieve the stricken people. They made only one call on Mrs. Cor. To add to their suffering, in addition to hunger they did not have sufficient clothing to keep them warm. Mrs. Cox went to Alaska five .years ago to join her hus band, and after she was on the boat she was stricken with black measles and only recovered enough to change boats when her boy two years old was stricken and nearly lost his life. When they finally reached the point where her husband, «set them with the government launch Mrs. Cox and son were about exhausted. Then a storm came and nearly wrecked their heavily-loaded boat. To add to their distress engine troubles arose and Mrs. Cox had to stand at the wheel while Mr. Cox re paired the trouble. They landed safely at last at a house so dirty that it could not be occupied until it was fumigated. She is a brave woman and has no fear of these adventures. This is not their first experience as Mr. Cox has been in the employment of the cartnerv company for sev eral years. When they came out the trip before this the cannery company boat was lost for three weeks in the Behring sea.
