Meet Your Legislator Eben Hopson j
SEATTLE, Oct. 31—Part-time
whaler, “catskinner” and recently
elected to Alaska’s Territorial
House of Representatives is the
record of 1st Lt. Eben Hopson,
commanding officer of Company
D, 1st Scout Battalion, Alaska Na
tional Guard.
A friendly and agressive Eski
mo, the lieutenant is currently
attending the battalion’s annual
encampment at Camp Denali,
Fort Richardson, Alaska.
From a Whaling Town
Hopson, who ran on the Demo
cratic ticket, makes his home in
Barrow, on the Arctic Ocean, the
most northern point in the terri
tory. Barrow, a town of 1,200
population, is among other things
a whaling town.
Hopson’s Natiohal Guard com
pany and the 2nd Judicial Divi
sion in which he was elected, are
stretched over hundreds of miles
of rugged Alaskan terrain.
The newly elected representa
tive claims he had some stiff op
position during his first try at
running for public office. He cam
paigned from dog sleds and skin
boats but mostly by direct mail.
He will serve in the House of
Representatives for a four-year
term.
Far-Sounding Names
Most of the guardsmen in Hop
son’s company come from widely
separated villages with far-sound
ing names such as Wainwright,
Point Lay and Barter Island.
He and most of his men are
whalers during the season that
runs from April to September.
After the whaling season, walrus
arc hunted by the men. Most of
the walrus hunting is done fronf
skin boats or umiaks.
During the period from Se
tember to April many of the m<
of Company D hold construction
jobs on projects such as th<^pis-t
tant Early Warning System (DEffl
Line'. Hopson worked as a “cat-;
skinner” and grader operator ofl
the project. During the off hours
many of the men engage in hunt
ing and trapping.
When asked if he were married,
Hopson replied:
Quite a Family Man
“Yes, and I am quite a family
man—I have eight children.” The
oldest is 13 and the youngest is
one year old.
“I have evened things up novb.
and will stop,” he added. When
asked why, he replied,
"Well, I have have an even
number of each now—four tooyd
and four girls.”
Hopson, who has a brother iri
his company, a 2nd lieutenant,
has been in the National Guard
since 1949. During the war he
served 39 months in the Regular
Army at Nome, Port of Whittier,
and on harbor oraft in the Aleu
tians.
