The Year of Grace. 1033. started
along Nushagak estuary with a
Boreal bang. Snow until further
orders and the mercury coyly bob
bing in and out of the bulb.
Dog teams and reindeer sleds
have been much in evidence. A
drive behind a good team of male
mutes. on a clear day over the'
present perfect trail between
Wood River and Kanakanak is a
sub-Arctic symphony.
The mile-wide river packed full j
of drift-ice surging and grinding j
inland with tin five-mile-an-hour |
flood or slipping smoothly seaward i
with the ebb. The low Labrador
like coast line from Beauty Creek
to Myokavik. the Cape York-look

Among recent visitors to Kanak-'
anak were Leo Schrammeck and
Chris Peterson of Togiak. Ed. S.
Morgan and Peter Krause of Kulu
kak and E. W. Hunnicutt of Ek
wak. Reports from all three places
mentioned are that there has been j
x very small catch of red fox.
Owing to ill health, Mr. Henni
eutt has resigned as teacher of the
school at Ekwak, and is now well
on his way to his old home and
old friends in the beautiful San
Juan Islands. After a needed rest,
he plans, it is understood, system
atic writing on Alaskan Native
lore and kindred themes. Using
as a basis many and copious data
and memoranda collected during
his wide and busy sojourning from
Ketchikan to the Kougarock.

Office of Indian Affairs school j
at Ekwak is now in charge of C. i
Nelson, well known in Seward and j
points to the Westward. Mr. Nel-1
son will oe remembered, not only J
as a giaduate of the Seward high
school and of the Jesse Lee Home, j
but as a young man of unusual at- j
tainments and character. Mr. Nel- j
son was married last fall to Miss i
Sarah Hurley, oldest daughter of j
William Hurley, merchant at Ek- j
wak. and a pioneer of pioneers in
this section.
Wm. Hurley. Jr., arrived in Ek
wak the 17th from the middle
Mulchatna. where he has been

and dangerous trip down the.
treacherous Mulchatna, there be
ing much open water. The fox
take among the up-river camps;
has also been light, there being
so far as known, but one catch 1
worthy of the name; that of Pauli
August and Ben Merrithew who j
had, early in January, 19 reds be- j
tween them.

A new baby arrived safely and
well,, just before Thanksgiving,
making the day more than usual- j
ly happy and complete.

Hugo Osterhause, wife and baby, |
and Henry Mischka are at Pike
creek and all are well.
Bob Kallenberg, Blaekie Rawls
and Fred Johnson are at Old Man
creek, and have the only lynx so;
far taken on the river. And this.1
notwithstanding rabbits are very
plentiful.

R. D. Murphy, the sage of Snag
Point, nestor of all Nushagak pros
pectors, and his partner, the be
loved ‘ Red" Vail are not far from
the mouth of the Chilchitna river
and are equipped, it is understood,
to remain with their placer oros
pecting thruout the season. Every
one who knows this sterling pair j
wishes them the success their in- '
domitable souls and efforts deserve.
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. “Butch”j
Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Smith on Swan river are also
showing their faith by their works
and one of these days we expect'
to hear that “Butch” has brought1
in another pay creek.

Mr. and Mrs. Perry Wanzer and ;
son are comfortably housed above
the Koktuli and have made a good
catch of mink and otter.
Harry Stevens and Frank Fleck
are somewhere in the Tikchik lake
sections, and have some tangible

south of the Kuskokwim and west
of Cook Inlet. The district has been
in part surveyed by the U. S. Geo
logical Survey and until recent
years had a small native popula
tion. Eut this winter these men
are the sole inhabitants of a wide
stretching alpine and alluvial ter
raine from which might be carv

in the days of yore; “I am the
Empire of my own survey.”
