SUFFERING IS
REPORTED AT
UNALAKLEET
I "" 1 *
UX A LA K1 ,KKT.—(Special Corres
pondence to Nome Worker.) — Much
illness prevails here particularly
among the youngsters. Several peo
ple died during last tail and it is felt
that one to two of the lives could have
been saved and lots of suffering
among the cnildren avoided if the
Bureau of Kducation would take a lit
tle time from developing the reindeer
industry and spend it in building a
hospital here, putting it in charge of
a trained nurse.
It is true that the Bureau has a
very able doctor at Nulato but Nulato
is but the center ot* his beat, and the
doctor is located one hundred and
thirty miles from here. 1 he doctor
has no aeroplanes nor is he trained
as an aviator.
If they would quit conning about
the higher education and get down to
practical and necessary needs, it
would do a Jot of good. The material
for a hospital is here; including logs
and medicines. Whoever is ill must
depend upon the school teacher and
his knowledge of medicine is admit
tedly small and in attending to the
needs of the sick, he cannot devote the
proper time and attention to his pu
pils.
Mrs. Van Ness who is not at all con
nected with the Bureau of Education,
devotes all the time she can spare to
the people that are ill. Ihe bureau
may tind the Eskimos decimated by
the time they are educated.

EXTENSION OF
WINTER MAIL
ROUTE ASKED
ID1TAU0D.—Duke E. Stubbs, post
master and United States commis
sioner at Aniak, on the Kuskokwim,
who has been in the city for a couple
of days this week, is endeavoring to
call the attention of the postal auth
orities to the miserable service pro
vided for that section of Alaska. As
has been noted, it is not unusaul, be
cause of lack of proper facilities, for'
mail addressed to residents of that
section to be chivvied around for
periods of from one to two years, and
on more than one occasion Kuskokwim
mail has been brought to Holy Cross
near the close of the season, and then
i
sent back outside to Seattle, to be dis
patched the next year for a second
trip to Alaska. The citizens of that
section complain that merchandise
ordered by parcel post is sometimes,
worn out before it reaches them be-;
cause of being handled so often.
Stubbs sent a telegram to Charles j
i
Ross, who is now in Seattle, urging J
him to interest the Seattle Chamber j
of Commerce in extending the Sew-[
ard-Iditarod service so as to include
Marshal and Aniak. Such a service
would take in Bonanza, Smeaton’s,,
Crooked, down the Kuskokwim to,
t
Aniak and across the portage to Mar
shall, and consume five days. Mr. j
Stubbs was induced to take the mat- |
ter up with Mr. Ross because that i
gentleman had already interested
himself in an endeavor to secure a
service for Marshall via lditarod.
