FREEDING
TALKS ABOUT
KOUGAROK
Conrad Freeding, the well known old
timer, merchant, politician and opti
mist, has returned from a five weeks
swing around the circle by water to
the Fort Clarence district, to the Kou
garok and back overland to Nome by
dogmobtle. He was at Teller five days
waiting the arrival of the Valdez
which had tho supplies for his store at
Taylor, recently acquired by him by
purchase from Dave Johnson. Freed
ing stopped at Kennedy's hospitable
curavansary and says that he enjoyed
every minute of his stay at Teller. (
After his supplies were lightered from {
the Valdez by Whlttard and Barnett j
he accompanied them to Davidson’s
lunding where he stored them In his
warehouses. Then with two four horse
teams of his own he went on to Coco |
where Matthews has a camp and barn 1
and built a barn for his own use. He |
says that Tom Evans has built this
season a tine road from Davidson’s to
Coco at a cost of only three or four
thousand dollurs to the roud commis
sion and that too much praise cannot,
be given to this Job. From Coco
Freeding went over the ‘'dreadful'1
Coco hill, which is suggestive of Chll
koot pass, to Lincoln on horse hack
and thence on to Taylor.
Freeding is full of praise for the peo- j
pie and the climate up there. He says |
that the Valdez people and Whlttard
and Barnett handled his stuff so well
that not a particle of it was damaged
in the least. At Davidson’s they were
growing all kinds of vegetables with
great success. He says that these <
vegetables are in all respects the equal
of those of the so called banana belt
in tho Matanuska country. The cub
bages, carrots, and turnips are larger
than any he saw in the state of
Washington and of superior flavor and
texture and with not a worm or other
parasite to injure them.
At Taylor, Freeding spent a week
looking over tnu country. He found
everybody prosperous. The Matthews
dredge, which was pounding away day
and night taking out the yellow metal,
was typical of the other operations
all busy and doing well. And he is
convinced that the development -of
this Kougarok country is only Just
starting. He says that there are
many gold bearing creeks unprospect
ed and untouched and that there is a i
great deal of known profitable ground :
awaiting men, money and machinery. I
It amazes him to hear of people rush- |
ing off to the Yukon and distant camps I
of unproved value when right here at
home is a fine proven field of large
extent. Ho says that the chief cause
of the failure to open up all the im
mense resources of the Kougarok is
lack of transportation. The govern
ment is building a railroad for the
benefit of the interior of Alaska and
it is a good move, ho thinks, but tho
government ought also to build roads
of some sort to develop Seward Pen
insula from which a larger proportion
ate return would bo made. As fai
ns Taylor is concerned,Freeding favors
two roads, one a summer road from
Davidson’s Landing to Taylor, tho
other a trunk lino from Nome to Can
dle. In building tho latter, ho thinks
that the railroad to Shelton should be
rehabilitated and that then cither a
railroad or a turnpike should be put
through to Dahl, to Taylor, and on to
Candle.
Freeding says tb&t during liis stay
at Taylor it was bright and warm,

“ALASKA DRY" j
..This column is printed day after day!
to place before the voters of this sec
tion of Alaska the facts and figures of
the Liquor Traffic and the ACTUAL!
RECORD of Prohibition.
We believe that these facts and fig
ures present such a ghastly array of
sacrificed lives, hopes, ambitions, honor
and wealth that none but the fool
would exaggerate them.
Prohibition is no new experiment in
actual working effect in over 72 per
cent of the area of the United. States
and its effects have been so clean, so
wholesome, so beneficial to morals, to
health and to business, that we believe
that if the voters of Alaska had access
to the simple facts of the liquor traffic,
and the bona fide record of its Prohibi
tion they would in the coming Referen
dum, on November 7, Vote overwhelm
ingly for “ALASKA DRY.”
