| It is only thru such Oldtimers
ias Mr. Le Rouge—and they are
{extremely scarce— that the his
tory of Alaska will be compiled;
| by means of the printed word
j How many Alaskans know of
an eider-down industry in Bering
iSea; of the black small pox
scourge which decimated entire
.villages; that the upper Yukon
; Indian dialect is fused with that
;of the French-Canadian; that
the great Hudson Bay overland
I trail into Alaska from the Me
Kenzio, Porcupine and Fort Mc
Pherson, in Canada, ended at
Fort Yukon; or of a place in
Alaska where cash is practically
unknown and where products
from the sea are used as barter.
These and many more interest
ing things about the Northland
are learned from Mr. Le Rouge,
the first article which now fol
lows.
Adventure called to his father,
George Robert Le Rouge, of
French descent, as in 1851 he left
Nova Scotia and under the flag of
a Russian-American company, as
captain, sailed a schooner to Ber
ing Sea. As the date reveals the
Territory was then owned by Rus

Via. The succeeding years were
Vpent sealing until 1868 when the
company dissolved and the Hudson
Bay people came in and opened op
erations under the name of Hut
| chinson-Kohl Co. There was also
t another company operating at
| that time. Mr. La Rouge recalled, !
by the name of Williams Haven & !
Co In addition there were
I a few others, consisting in the
; main, of small Russian and Jap
| anese companies. At about this
! time the Alaska Commercial Co., ]
! entered the field
! The scene then shifts to San
! Francisco where Captain Le Rouge
I moved the family- There, for
I a brief four years, Gene attend
| ed school- Four or five years of
| life in California was sufficient
;for Captain La Rouge so he
brought the family back North J
locating first, with a large trad- i
ing outfit, East of Point Barrow, j
at the mouth of Colwell river, i
They remained there for three;
years after which Gene’s parents j
left and from that time on the !
lad was on his own.
Gene went to work for the,
Hudson Bay company at a trad- |
ing post located at the mouth!
of the McKenzie river where a j
village, Aklavik, was established.
This was in 1895. The following
year saw him down the Yukon,
at Holy Cross, which point he
! reached by traveling over the i
old Porcupine trail. Le Rouge
traded up and down the Yukon .1
river for a while, then came
down to the Cook Inlet district
during the 1898 stampede; tiring
of this country he went up to
Nome where, for a long period,
he was associated with Dr. Lopp,
then head of the Bureau of Ed
1 ucation work in Alaska,
j For the next few years Gene j
I could be likened somewhat to a
flea jumping hither and yon but
always in the far northern lat- j
titudes where he first saw the
light of day. He was at Circle in
1905 representing the A. C- Co
Then to Fairbanks in the freight
ing game- Again down the river
to Holy Cross where he lost his
wife. Up the Tanana river and
out over the range down to the
Inlet country again, was his
next move and this time he re
mained for several years work
ing for Nagley, at Talkeetna.
The N. C. then called him back
and after having charge of a (
number of their posts he was;
transferred to Nelson Island, on (
the west coast, near the mouth j
of the Yukon. The A. C. Co.,
formerly had a post there but
not so many months ago the N.
C. stepped in buying out the big j
native trading store and it is |
there Le Rouge has lived ever
since.
This has been more or less of
preface to Mr- Le Rouge’s story i
which will hereafter continue,
in part, from day to day- The
next installment will appear in
tomorrow’s issue.
