Mr. George Albert, who is now in
Seward waiting for the departure of
the Dora to the westward is one of
the “old school” of Alaskans. In 1890
he hit the Alaska trail—by boat. In
time he got established in the fur in
dustry. In the past twenty years he
has shipped out over $200,000 furs.
A boat, not boats, calls at his place
once a year with supplies ami takes
out his year’s “catch”. Each year he
goes to Puget Sound and orders his
annual supplies. It is a particular
, job because if he forgets anything
i essential it affects his business for
the entire year. Every year requires
over $1,000 of ammunition. One of
I these years a long time ago, the com
' pany to whom he gave his order, sent
the powder and shot and wrote that
the wads would be on the next boat
j The next boat came the next year.
1 Every year, in the summer with
canoes, in the winter with dog teams,
his men cover over two hundred miles
of the coast of Bristol Bay. This year
there will be no boat on account of
ice, for an e.\‘ra shipment which he
has to come out This shipment,
nearly $15,000 worth, he will go in
and bring out by dog team to Chignik.
lie expects to be out by the end of
February. From the time of leaving
Puget Found until his return it means
two months of travel, over three
thousand miles by water, over 200
!
miles by dog team through the snow*
in a country where the temperature
will be far below zero. Many people
would call this a hardship; this old
. l
Alaskan looks at it as a pleasure trip.

That is the kind of human stuff that
