Judge E. Coke Hill held a brief ses
sion of court on August 4, coming in
on the evening tide and 'leaving on
the morning ebb. Quite a number of
naturalization papers were granted.
For the first time in the history of
the Nushagak river, the run of salmon
was a complete failure, some of the
ships having to take on ballast to
make good sailing home. Something
besides Wm. Paul’s berating and Hen
ry O’Malley’s boasting must be done
or the fisheries of Alaska, which have
been Alaska’s greatest asset, will
soon be a thing of the past.
Frank Warren of Portland, Ore.,
president and major owner of the
Alaska Portland Packers Associa-;
tion, spent the summer making many
improvements in his two canneries
of this district.
Rain, rain, nothing but rain So
much rain that even the web-footed
1 Oregonions were glad to get on the
steamer North King and start for j
: home.
Some of the radio fans have in
stalled new eight tube Super-Heter
odyne radiolas and report wonderful
reception. K G O of San Francisco,
K O M O of Seattle and Anchorage,
being the favorite stations.
Prospecting took place on a larger
scale last year in the Nushagak re
gion than ever before Activities took
place on Wood river lakes, Kalkwalk
river, Mulchatna river proper and
other streams. So far as we have learn
ed, the only strike made wasi by R. A.
Smith on Bonanza creek. Smith was
the discoverer, some ten years ago,
of the Watermoose placer finds on
Good News bay and has discovered
other good paying placer claims.
The catch of furs on the Nushagak
river the past year was the lightest
ever known. Red fox seeming to be
almost exterminated and the same con
ditions are reported to the north coast.
Old trappers hold to the theory that
the red fox are annually migrating to
Uimak island, where thousands are
trapped every season and shipped to
the Seattle and Tacoma sales.
J. G. Fleckenstein recently took
charge of the Dillingham jail in the
capacity of deputy U. S. marshal. He
promises to fill this important posi
tion ably.
Arvid Sakrisson and Charles Ander
son, jr., two highly respectable young
men of Snag Point, while trapping
beaver up the Nushagak river, some
250 miles, lost their lives. It is thought
they capsized their canoe and were
drowned. Sakrisson’s body was found
and brought to Nushagak. A coroners
jury was not impaneled. There was
some doubt expressed, it was stated,
in the minds of many as to the ques
tion of foul play. Anderson’s body
has not been found.
Mrs. Alfred Wickstrom, who has
been operating a trading post for a
local fur dealer, left July 28, on the
steamer Costa Rico for a visit in Port
land. Mrs. Wickstrom formerly held a
responsible position with Meirer &
Frank’s department store in Portland.
Members of the last legislature
were very solicitous about the can
nery interests in order, as they claim
ed, not to discourage the investment
of capital in Alaska. But what does
this investment amount to ? In Bris
tol bay, the cannery companies bring
up all the cannery help, practically!
all the fishermen, pay all this help in
Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, or
wherever their offices are located,
and run stores for what little goods
the men need during their stay here,
while some of the companies operate
stores all the year around and actual
ly more money is taken out of this re-1
gion than the cannery companies j
spend here. How can the Bristol bay]
region ever become settled or built
up, if the cannery companies take all
the Resources out of Alaska and leave
nothing here to encourage those who
desire to make Alaska their home.
