FOR DENTAL WORK
Finally, with the aid of a crowbar,
one might say, The Gateway has been
able to pry loose from Oddie Hallson,
game warden in the Bethel district
in the far-away Kuskokwim country—
details of his recent long overland
trip to Kanatak, htenee by steamer to
Seward.
It is a trip few sourdoughs in the
country can boast of having made and
for that reason this paper wanted to
know about it.
His dental work being completed,
Mr. Hallson plans departing tomor
row on the first leg of the journey
back to his isolated post where he is
guardian of a vast domain for the
Alaska Game Commission.
It might not be amiss to state here
that Mr. liaison pays Dr. A. R. Rob
erts, Seward dentist, a signal compli
ment upon the eve of his departure,
for, he says, “If I have to have more
dental work done I would gladly trav
el the 1,000 miles over the snow trail
again in order to have him render
such service.
The circumferential route to Sew
ard from Bethel, as related by Game
Warden Hallson, follows;
Mr. Halson intended to accompany
Carl Lottsfeldt, Superintendent of the
Alaska Road Commission in the Ta
kotna region, over the trail, but was
detained at Bethel four days after
they left. He got going, however, on
Christmas morning in a blinding snow
storm traveling as far as Lomavi
gamute. There he tried to get a native
to guide him out to the tundra land
but could not persuade any regardless
of price offered.
So he left alone, crossing big lakes
and tundra. He lost the trail! He was
unable to find it again so back-track
ed. So closely had he to watch the
trail that his nose and cheeks were
frozen.
In this vicinity of the Kuskokwim
region, he found foxes to be quite
numerous; also around Cape Newen-j
ham and along the Bristol Bay as far J
as Togiak.
Aiso, in this district, he had a num-«
j
her of wild rides running thru small j
bunches of reindeer, before arriving
at Good News Bay.
The shelter igloos and tripod mark-j
ings marking the Pass trail through
the Akklun mountains, between Good ]
News Bay and Togiak on Bristol Bay, i
are of no benefit to travellers, Mr.
Hallson stated. The wind blows the
•snow thru the chinks in the igloos and
the second igloo had been blown com
pletely full. That night he was com-;
pelled to camp out in the Pass sleep-1
ing in the sled. Most of the tripods1
have fallen down and are now miles
apart.
About at this point he began to get.
the impression he was gaining on
Lottsfeldt, and his driver, Ingerhard,;
for he saw' his trail with two tracks •
leading toward the left. He had been j
depending almost entirely on a com- i
pass as the trail showed only once in >
a great while and then very faintly. |
The next morning he started out in a!
| heavy fog and later, when the fog had
! lifted, he saw a number of tripods •
| about one-half a mile to the left. No
'other tripods were found until going j
j down the bank of the Togiak river. So •
jhe crossed over the trail without1
! knowing it. This trail is used very *
little, he said, altho shorter than'
