!! TUNDRA
►
l By AUDREY HENDERSON
►
bi — ..—
► Walking down Front Street this
b morning, the first real snow flur
ji fies of winter fell upon my new
* parka jacket, like feathers from
► the blpe. Snow flakes kissed my
► cheeks and melted like winter's
► tears. What’does snow mean to
t you? Webster’s dictionary says
r that “snow is a crystalized vapor,
b particularly watery particles con
► gealed into white crystals in the
j| air and falling to the earth.” But
► to we in Alaska, snow means the
► .beginning of the ‘freeze-up.” It
j| means the beginning of a snowy
H desert spreading over the vast
► tundra, where restless winds
t sweep with untamed force across
tithe rising summits. Sometimes
F dropping but never growing still.
I To sharp spires of ice purely
stained, where the aurora bor
ealis, the midnight candles of the
, North, rain fire in sharp bril
liance. Illuminating the hills
i and hummocks of snow in grand
eur. And a fiery red moon shin
ing down over the icy fields like
nowhere else in the world.
Can’t you hear the grinding
[| and singing sled runners and the
► sharp barks of dogs. And the
► anxious cry of “hike” by the
b1 driver as the dog team disap
* j pears ver a distant rise of hills.
■ | And when you look out over
it; the Bering sea and see a blizzard
J * approaching Nome with roaring
•J j sound like some wild monster
• | screaming in pain and fury. And
. j the snow is flung at your head
l hard as sand and fine as flour,
jj slapping your face raw, clinging
► to your eyelids in thin crusts,
i and your cheeks feel like stiff
’ frozen parchment. And your soul
• cries out in anguish like a ban
• shee in the night. And suddenly
! the storm is gone and days upon
’ days of red sunlight brings a
j rosy hue to the snow desert,- Mi
11 rages dance before your eyes and ]
| you think.
) “And out of the silence deep
• and sweet
► ! Come memories of time gone
y by. ,
• Images
!* '
b Like shadowy wraiths, wander as
j! in a dream—
> For the winged would strew up
l j memories
’ That wake and breathe—faint as
|! a whisper.
► Memories precious as the soul
'; itself—
: Sanctified in the twilight with
j>! its dreams.”
.! And then far out over Norton
l Sound you see in the distance, a
£ leaden sky and the snow and ice
► I reflect a glimmer in the gray.
1 You will know that there is an
l open spot where the mighty ,ur
'? rents of the Bering sea push and
j* grind and break an opening.
j! And when you see that black
jj pencil stripe on the horizon you
* will know the breath of eternal
b spring is here once again.
I wonder if we will have a
> man winter or a woman winter?
► To the man and woman on the
£ street—“Winter comes too soon
j* to suit me.”

LETTER RECEIVED
FROM OLDTIMER
The following are a few ex
cerpts from a letter received by
our postmaster, S. David Mazen, !
from Fred Mefoes, well-known
miner of the Council district. I
Mr. Mebes writes: ‘There
seems to be no. way to come to !
Nome this summer. I would like
to be up there and see all of my j
friends. Hope I can be there next
year. My present address is 4886
nice here, the weather is excel- 1
nice here the weather is egcel- !
lent but too warm for me, but j
some are wearing overcoats.
Some of the fair ones have even
fur coats. I don’t know how they
can feel comfortable. Then some
of them are the other way, they
hardly have anything on.
“I have been to Seattle and j
saw some Nome people: the Sillli
vans, John Litchenberg, Dune
McLean and Harry Phillips. I
saw some in Portland, San Fran-1
cisco, Los Angeles and Long
Beach. They are all fine and
making good money. I presume
there is not much mining going
on. Hoping the war will be over
so I can go to Nome and Coun- t
cil again, I wish to congratulate
yo«u for your postmastership. '
“Don’t know of anything else
to write. Please say hello to all
my acquaintances and to the Odd
Fellows and Rebeloaha and to j
your family.
Yours very truly
FRED MEBES." i
