around by the coast; the coast trair
is routed from village to village.
The Pass trail, coming thru the
end of the Alaska range, is subject to
severe storms. Arriving at Togiak he
was surprised to find he was but two
days behind Lottsfeldt and Indegard.
The morning they left Dillingham
he arrived at noon. He says he would
have caught up with them at Kog
giung but was caught out in the open
country between the Nushagak river
and Koggiung during a raging, north
erly storm. Here he lashed himself to
the sled during the night. The next
day he mushed but a few milas. Snow
was drifting and blowing so hard at
times that he was unable to see the
leader dog. His fingers became frost
ed during the night when he had to
roll out and stop the dogs from fight
ing.
The teams travelling on ahead,
with the wind blowing in from the
coast, were able to travel only a short
distance betwwen the canneries. The
“Coffee Route,” between the canner
ies, is a pleasant diversion after the
monotony of traveling alone thru the
isolated country. Mr. Hallson encoun
tered another storm between Naknek
and Egigik but with milder weather
that delayed all the teams. He ar
rived at Egigik the second day a few
hours after Lottsfeldt and Indegard.
From this point he travelled in com
vvith Shirley until the next day when,
on account of Shirley being heavily
loaded, he took the lead along Bech
aroff lake. The ic$ along the shore
was poor; so poor that “Glass-eyed
Billy” slid down the bank into the
lake, sled and all. The others travel-1
ling with him puled him out.
Hallson was travelling on skits with j
a gee pole behind him so had no dif
ficulty there. Shirley, coming be-,
hind, also went over the bank. The ■
native with him unloaded the sled
standing in water to his waist. Hall-:
son caught up with the mail, and the |
road gang again, at the cabin of Me;
Cullough and Harry Taylor. He went
over the Summit where one gets a
real kick coming down the steep zig- j
zag tral on the other side.
Arrived at Kauatak, just after the
noon hour, where he greatly enjoyed
the warm hospitality and wonderful
culinary ability of Mr. and Mrs. H. M.
Evans. He remained there until the
arrival of the S. S. Starr, Seward
bound.

ways in evidence along the Kusko- i
kwim and Bristol Bay. Hallson was of j
the opinion that section of the coun- j
try, where travellers are treated like
the prodigal son, would be a short
life and a fat one for the fatted cal
ves.
The method of. travelling ahead of
the sled on skiis and stearing with a
gee pole, attracted a great deal of at
tention, especially among the natives.
They examined the equipment very
closely which apparantly met with
their approval as was evidenced by
their immediate activity in making
skiis.
The scarcity of dried fish in all the
lower Kuskokwim and Bristol Bay,
was rather a problem at times but
the same generous attitude toward
the traveller was shown by the res
idents permitting their own small
store go to feed the teams on the
trail. This meant the the villagers
had to begin the cumberson task of
cooking feed daily for their dogs. »
The membership drive of the S. A.
C. is coming along in great shape.
More than 30 new members joined
last week.
MRS. LOWDEN LEAVES
Among the local residents who de
parted for Anchorage the first of the
week was Mrs. Lowden, professional
nurse, who has been employed at the
Seward' General hospital for some
time. Anchorage is her home town
ard in all probability she will again
reenter the service of the govern
ment hospital.
The freight train and rotary arrived
in town last night.
The next regular business meeting
of the S. A. C. will take place next
Monday night, at the hall, at 8 bells.
