IS EN ROUTE TO STATES
MR. AND MRS. J. C. LOWE “MUSH’'
350 MILES IN RECORD TIME
OF TEN DAYS
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lowe, of Dill
• ingham, Alaska, are registered at
the Van Gilder hotel waiting for the
S. S. Northwestern which they in
tend to take for a trip to the States.
They mushed with deg team from
. Dillingham to Kanatak, a distance
j of 350 miles, making the trip in 10
j days from the time they started.
This is the quickest trip that has
been made with dog team for sever
al years. They had intended to make
the trip down the Peninsula buying
furs, but were obliged to omit a
part of the itinery as there was no
snow nor ice.
Mr. Lowe reports the mail carrier,
R. A. Smith, having an extremely
difficult task to make his trips.
On one trip, on Beacheroff Lake, for
a distance of 70 miles was destitute
of snow and ice and the mail carrier
was obliged to take the mountain
route where he got caught in a
severe rain and wind storm and
was without food for himself and
feed for his dogs for two days. He
waded rivers up to his shoulders
carrying the mail across to keep it
dry and finally walked over the sum
mit of Mt. Kanatak into town to get
horses and wagon to deliver his
mail safely.
Mr. Lowe reports that business
has been good in his section the
past year but that there is an ex
tremely light catch of fox from
Naknek to Bethel on the Kuskokwim.
The catches of fox seem to run in
cycles, there being a scarcity of
fox every seventh year.
It was reported a year ago that
Mr. Lowe had suffered a stroke of
paralysis, but the report was entirely
without foundation and he does not
understand how such a report ever
got started.
Mr. Lowe believes that the Bering
Sea side of the Peninsula and the
Kuskokwim districts are rich in
natural resources and capable of
sustaining a large ’ population, but
in order to secure this, the Govern
ment must pave the way for settlers
by giving air mail service, building
bridges, establishing wireless sta
tions, erecting hospitals, establishing
an experimental agricultural station,
and the appointment of more effi
cient and capable agents in the De
partment of Justice.
Mr. Lowe says that statistics show
that the Bristol Bay district is in
the front rank in the payment of
both Federal and Territorial taxes
•but that the Government expends the
least money in that region of any
place in Alaska.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowe expect to go
direct to New York with their ship
ments of furs.
