/ROM SATURDAY'S DAILY
A pretty little story of the
Northland is told by the Daw
son News as follows: Facing
a mush of 150 miles over a
long winter trail. Mrs. George
Cunningham will leave here to
morrow morning with her six
weeks-old babe. Mr. Cunning
ham and their two other young
children will also make the trip
Mrs. Cunningham has been]
here since the last steamer
came down from Mayo this fall
This is the third time she has
made the trip from Dawson to
Mayo in winter practically walk
ing all the way, and on each
trip she has taken back a
bright little bairn, until today
the thirl member of the cheery
family is with the party. The
route for the most of the dis
tance is without a roadhouse,
hut has refuge houses at which
the travelers can put up at mid
day and at night. Each cabin
is provided with rough board
bunks without blankets. The
or.lv other equipment in the
place is a small crude frontier
stove, put there by the govern
ment. Each musher passing
that way according to the law
of the trail, leaves a little pile
of kindling when departing in
the morning, and that makes
it possible for the next visitor
to start the fire quickly on ar
riving on the long tedious mush
on the cold trail. Although the
Cunninghams are taking a
horse attached to a light rig.
they expect to walk much of
the way this trip. Mrs. Cun
ningham is quite equal to the
task. The first time she went
over the route, eleven years
ago, she mushed every step of
the way. She is a rugged
daughter of the land of the
heather, and delights in the out
door life. Mr. and Mrs. Cun
ningham have been in the
store and hotel business a*
Mayo for years.

Secretary of the interior Frank
lin K. Lane in his annual report
approves of government con
struction and operation of Al
nskan railroads. He says that
various 'fates throughout the
Union build wagon roads, not
for revenue to the state but for
the gereral good. He believes
that the construction of gov
ernment railroads should be
under the control of a board
of directors which should re
port directly to congress. He
believes that Alaska should
have a federal budget of its
own; paying its own expenses.
He also favors the opening up
of Alaska coal lands immed
iately.

“Millions of dollars' wirth of
kelp were destroyed and the
growth of the seaweed greatly
retarded in Alaskan waters by
the clowds of ash and dust
from Katmai volcano last
July,” said Prof. T- C. Rigg, of
the botany department of the
University of Washington. The
movement of the ash over the
water tore the kelp plants
from the fastenings, covered
with sediment the rocky bot
tom necessary for kelp growth
and in more distant sections
hindered growth by volcanic
ashes.”
Illustrating the old time
honesty of the average Alaskan
miner, the St, Michael corres
pondent of the Seattle P.-I.
tells the following typical story
of the Northland. The close
of navigation this year caught
the steamer Herman, of the
Northern Xavagation Company
fleet about seventy-five miles
from St. Micheal. The pas
sengers were lucky and man
aged to catch the last ship for
the outside, but the company
was unable to transfer the bag
gage and express. One man
was left to guard the gold. For
a distance of 73 miles in all di
rections there was no human
habitation, aside from tin oc
casional Eskimo shack. The
news filtered back to Marshal
City, the supply base for the!
new gold field but, unlike an
outside community, there was
no attempt to gain possession
of the gold, there was no at
tempt to get a single speck of
the metal, although there were
pokes and pokes, cram full of
nuggets and dust. After a
month's storage in the isolated
cache, the gold was freighted
to St- Michael by dog team, and
when the trails are in good con
dition, the gold will be started
over a two thousand mile trail
to Southwestern Alaska, head
ed fur the money markets of
the south.
