DESCRIBES GOVERNOR’S IDEA
Fairbanks Man Had Premonition of
What Hoggatt Would Do.
When Gov. Hoggatt was in Seattle
last fall on his way to Washington, a
Fairbanks man, A. E. Light, was in
the Sound city at the same time, and
from chance remarks by the Alaska
executive and his general bearing Light
obtained a remarkable premonition of
what the governor would try to do in
the national capital. Whereupon to
relieve his feelings Mr. Light wrote
as follows to the Fairbanks Times:
"The city is full of AJaskans from
all quarters, many departing for all
points to spend the winter. Gov. Hog
gatt, Marshal Shoup and other Juneau*
ites are here on their way to Washing
ton. The governor feels that Alaska
is not properly represented by the
election of Mr. Waskey and Mr. Cale
as delegates to congress, and that the
responsibility of securing proper legis
lation will rest largely upon his mag
nificent shoulders. That the federal
patronage to which the district may
be entitled must be doled out by him,
as being the most lofty specimen of
Republicanism and administrative
harmonizer in the north. During the
course of an address delivered by him,
the governor, at Ketchikan, on Alaska
Day, Oct. 18, he took occasion to make
several disparaging remarks in refer
ence to the selection of Messrs. Cale
and Waskey as delegates, and their
unfitness for the position. I very
much fear that the governor and a
certain coterie intend to become gen
eral obstructionists to any proposed
measures not in exact conformity with
their own view or to their own ad
vantage.”
Dr. F. M. Boyle came over from
Valdez on the Saratoga to look after
his interests in Seward.
ZERO WEATHER
AROUND INLET
Coldest at Kahiltna Station 32
Below and Much of Time
Above That Mark.
Kahiltna, Dec. 2x Since the snow
storm of November 14 the weather has
I been clear, temperature raneiny
I around zero, dropping to 32 below zero
December K. On the 12th it was f>
above zero, on the Kith 22 below, and
on the lfUh 13 above. The second
snow storm occurred December 21.
|«\ I*. Johnston and Charles Harris,
who are camped twelve miles above
here on tin1 Kahiltiiii, left their camp
a few ilaysao'o, yoinjf in a northeast
erly direction. After erossin;f Croto
creek, they reached the Tokositna
river. They say the distance from
their camp on the Kahiltra to the
Tokositna river is only about fifteen
miles. It bad been generally supposed
the distance was much greater between
t hose ri \ ers.
Chris SchilTcr is moving some hay
ami machinery for the King' lliver
Mining Company from their cache
near the month of the Yentna to lyke
creek by horse team.
Mr. Densmore and three other men
pass- (1 down the trail December 11
from the i 'ache creek country, bound
for the outside. They report having
found pay gravel on a bench, hut did
not indicate the location where found.
They say the trail is broken as far as
Cache creek and eight or ten outfits
have reached that far.
Natives Bring in (iame
Fifteen or twenty natives came down
from the Skwentna region December
is, pulling several sled loads of caribou
meat, but very little fur. It is the
practice of the natives to go up the
river in boats before navigation doses
to limit and trap, returning to Susitna
in their sleds for Christinas. Then
they go to tin* hunting grounds again
in February and lloat down the river
as soon as the ice goes out in the
spring. Around the holidays the na
tives from till up river regions assem
ble at Susitna for their “(iroiisky,”
which is a celebration similar to the
potlatch of the southeastern coast
natives.
Several of the boys who are camped
in this vicinity have made trips to
Knik and hack in the past few weeks.
They >ay there is very little snow be
tween Knik and Susitna so far.
H. \V. Hawes and 1*. .1. Collins, who
came up the river in October and have
since been on the upper branches of
the Kahiltna. returned here December
l-1. and are now preparing to move
their outfit which has been cached
here to the upper creeks. The object
of their visit to the creeks this fall was
to complete their assessment work and
prepare camps for next season’s work.
They say the weather was extremely
cold in the early part of December and
Collins' feet were frost bitten while on
one of their mushes near the Kahiltna
glacier.
River Froze November 10
Kahiltna, Nov. 20 The weatherhere
during the latter part of October and
first part of November was clear and
frosty, the mercury dropping nearly to
zero on two occasions, moderating on
November 14, on which date a south
west wind brought the first snow of
the season. There is now twelve
inches of snow on the ground. About
November 10 ice formed on the Susit
na and Yentna rivers, so that those
who were ready with their outfits had
good sledding from Susitea station to
this point.
Among the old timers who are here
or moving along up the Kahiltna at
this time are Jim Davison, Gus Peters,
Walter Nelson, Pete Jackson, W.
Peterson, Ed Davis, W. E. Lennox,
Tom Freeze, Fid Cohn, Harry Miller,
and Hammersmith, Gadigan and Hud
dleson. There are a dozen or more
others who are making their first trip
into the country, including two women
camped at different places.
The Wanberg party worked on the
bars of the Kahiltna until the freeze
up, taking out about $600. They work
ed a line of boxes fed by hose from the
river. In the boxes they use the wire
screen with burlap underneath. This
has proved a good gold saver, very
little or no gold being lost.
Mr. Huddleson is the champion
hunter, having four bears to his credit.
Several moose have been seen, but so
far no one has been able to get one.
Some foxes and lynxes have been
trapped and several rabbit robes have
been made.
Maj. J. F. A. Strong, formerly editor
and owner of the Nome Nugget, has
started the Greenwater Miner at the
new copper camp in Inyo county, Cali
fornia, just across the state line from
the big Nevada gold camps.
E. G. McMicken, general passenger
agent of the Northwestern Steamship
Company, has been placed in charge
of the freight department also and his
title is now general freight and pas
senger agent.
