Mrs. Annie Strong
c
Former Nomeile
Back from Trip
Fresh from a trip around the
world, Mrs. Annie H. Strong,
widow of the late Gov. J. F. A
Strong is in Seattle and writes j
that she is surfeited' with foreign ;
Land* and alien waps and that
her next journey of any conse-!
quence wfil be to Alaska
She enclosed in her letter a j
clipping from the Seattle Post
Intelligencer showing the picture’
of a pretty young woman, with
the announcement of the latter’s
approaching marriage. The young
woman is Miss Hazel Kastner,
whose father O. F. Kastner was
one of the owners and managers ‘
of the Dawson Daily News in
the hurrah days of the Klondike
camp.
Wild Trip Around World
Mrs. Strong in her letter says,
in part:
“I aim just back from a wi!ld;
trip around the world which in-!
eluded earthquakes and 16 days'
quarantine for cholera off Chee-.
foo in Pohai waters, China. I i
' was held four days in flooded I
districts in North China and Man
choukiuo—on scant rations ol
straight rice, no salt. Last and
most strenuous was the journey
across Siberia and part of Euro- j
pean Russiaa by the Trans-Sib-i
erian Railway.
“On the Negoretoe border, the
Russians relieved me of all my i
diaries, notebooks, films, etc.
“Taking it all in all, Til nev-1
er go there any more.’
“My next trip will be ‘home’ i
to Alaska. I hope June 1039 will
find me floating down the old Yu
kon, up the Tanana to Nenana
and thence travelig over the Al
aska aRilroad to Fairbanks. By
motor car, I plan to traverse ov
er the Richardson Highway to
Valdez for steamship embarka
tion to Seattle.
Came North in 1897
