LATE NOTES FROM
THE KOBUK SECTION
Special Correapondanca
The bureau of education is going to
move the Esklmus from Deering and
other villages to a tract of land set
aside by congress as a reservation for
the natives, below the native village
of Oxsik. Then they contemplate the
building of co-operative stores, and a
saw mill. This reservation like the rest
of the Kohuk river, is well timbered
and abounds in ptarmigan, rabbits,
geese, ducks and game of all descrip
tion. This is a native paradise for
hunting and lishing, and at one time
was covered with villages and igloos
by the hundreds. Of the many thou
sands of Eskimos who one time lived
on the shores of Kotzebue sound and
the adjacent streams, only a few scat
tering hundreds are life. The mis
sionaries and government school teach
ers have done n great work amongst
these people in the last fifteen years.
With the concentration of the Eskimos
on the reservation the natives will lie
directly under the watchful eye and
supervision of the government doctor,
the sanitary conditions will he greatly
improved, and the dreaded disease of
tuberculosis which has killed off so
many in the past, under proper sani
tary conditions will he reduced and In
time he stamped out altogether.
With the increase of the natives on
the Kohuk river, this remote section
is badly in need of n good substantial
staking of the trail, from Kotzebue to
Long Beach. The road commission has
done good work in the past staking
from Kcewalik to Nazurik channel, and
from Kiana to Kleary creek. But this
blizzard swept section within the Arc
tic circle ts In need of more trail stak
ing, as the lives of many whites and
natives depend on a few stakes placed
in the ground permanently by the com
mission. The cost of the same is trif
ling compared to what this section pro
duces yearly in gold and valuable furs.
The Kohuk is badly In need of n
money order office at Kotzebue and a
postofflee at Kiana.

Never before did the weather play so
mean a trick upon us as it did Tues
