Eskimos Move Northward To Arctic Bay After Trading Post
Canada reports eastern Arctic Eskimos have migrated north from Southern Baffin Island over five years. Eleven families from Baffin Island settled briefly on Devon Island after a Hudsons Bay trading post opened there in 1934, then moved to Arctic Bay in 1936. Despite initial plans to return them, better hunting near Arctic Bay led to more Eskimo families joining from Cape Dorset and Lake Harbour in 1987.

Bing Cherry Named for Chinaman Ore by Lewelling
In a Milwaukie orchard Seth Lewelling renamed a new Bing cherry after his Chinese servant Bing who aided in cultivation. The nickname arose as the cherry matured and a remark by Lewelling solidified the choice, honoring Bing’s years of service before political limits blocked his return to China under the Chinese Exclusion Act.
