NEWSY LETTER FROM
Kf VALINA MISSION
The following Interesting letter is
from the pen of Dr. C. S. Repogle,
who is In charge of the Eskimo school
at Klvaiina. the uatlve settlement es
tablished last summer In the Klvaiina
river section which lies about midway
between Kotzebue and Point Hope.
Klvaiina, Nov. 22. 1815...
Editor, Nome, Nugget:
We have been anxious readers of the
Nugget now for more than a year and
us we are somewhat Isolated from any
postotnce, we have recelvod but a
limited amount of the papers. The
few we have received have been care
fully perused by us first over and over
again, then handed to some of our
natives who read well and they read
them then tell the rest of them about
the things which they have read. So,
In this way, the natives of our village
ill get the newt.
We wish to express our thanks to
the Nugget for complying with our
request In putting Into the columns
of your paper the going prices of food
stuffs and they were eagerly sought
lor by all and all were pleased when
they saw It or heard them read, and
we would be glad for a repetition of It
this year We have Just found the
account of the government fur sales
of Alaska at St. Louis and the Eski
mo were very much Interested In the
news.
If the natives had the money they I
would become subscribers to the Nug
get but they have no money to buy
even the necessary articles of life.
We have had open water in front of
our village all the lime ao rar thla fall,
except a few days, one now and then.
We have had only a little cold wea
ther so far thla winter. One morn
ing It was down to 10 degrees below
zero and most of the time lu Novem
ber we have had Ideal weather for the
trail and In consequence of this the
government physician, Dr. H. N. T.
Nichols has visited Selawlk, Klvallna
and N'oatak already this fall. He says
he has found It quite pleasant travel
ing this time of the year. We have
caught no seal., here this fall since
the Ice began to flow and our natives
have left the village for their trap
ping grounds for the winter which
leaves only the women and children
of their families here now and our
number has diminished considerably
inf this account. Also, some of our
families have moved to Noatak on
account of wood and the stormy
weather here on the coast. We hope,
as the prices of furs are up some,
that the natives will be successful in
capturing a goodly number of the
best furs that Alaska has for the mar
kets so they may buy the food and
clothes that they need and pay cash
for them as we believe It is better
for them not to do a credit business.
With this we will close for this time,
j We remain yours for service.
