HUDSON STUCK
ENDS TOUR OF
ARCTIC WASTE
FORT YUKON, May 1 — Arch
deacon Hudson Stuck has arrived heie
from a winter journey of six months
duiing which time ho passed entirel)
around the Artie coast from Harrow
to Hersche! inland. The Archdeacon,
who is an Kpiscopal missionary to
Alaska, visiad many posts established
by hi> church.
An ni; aeon Stuck i> known over Al
aska ;is a writer and a hard traveler.
In 11> 1 -i he was at the head of the
fir.^t party that ever reached the high
est point of Mount McKinley, said to
be the highest point on the North
America continent.
According to roegh estimates made
here, it is probable the archdeacon
co\ered between 1. '»00 and -,000
miles. It is thought he left the Yuk
on River late last fall, journeyed up
the Kotzebue, a tributary, crossed the
divide to the headquarters of the
i\ *busk River and foPowed that river
to its mouth on Kotzebue Sound.
From Kotzebue he probably journey
ed overland to Point Harrow, up at the
cornel of the continent. It is believed
pronably that he went eastward from
Harrow to the Mackenzie. From the
Mackenzie he probably came out over
* he Rat Portage across the continen
tal divide and down the Porcupine
j Stiver to Fort Yukon. j
• From tho time he touched the Ko-:
I buck Ui\er until he left Fort Yukon he
was within the Arctic Circle.

Five thousand Chinese victims of last

v the American Ked Cross Flood h„
• •f Committee, under the chairman
ship of the American Minister, Dr.
Paul S. Keinsch, aided by the Ameri
can troops stationed here, in an im
p wised camp in the edge of the Ger

esidents of Tientsin against the
; * imping of these refugees here have
: eon rondeied pointless by the elficicnt
I a Imir.ist ation of the camp by Colonel J
!.. P. WiMer which has prevented its
becoming a menace to the health of
the community.
Within a tract perhaps five acres in

const meted out of reeds and mud far
t ne housing of the unfoitunates. R.

In the last mail was received a copy j
I of the Ruby Record-Citizen, which has

j October, due to the death of J. J. Fil- j
bin, one time owner and editor. Gus 1
Lynell, formerly of Nome, is the new
editor, and from the newsy pages re
ceived Ruby is fortunate in having
him at the helm of its periodical, as it
(ills a much needed want.

clerk of the mail service at Tanana,
