NOTES FROM THE
UNALAKLEET SECTION
(TJie following items of news from
the Unalaklet section were received
under date of February 17th. Ed.)
l’ete Curran, the well known mail
carrier and all-around Alaskan, sur
prised us with a visit on the last day of
January. His magnificent team of SI
berian and half breed dogs Is a credit
to tiie mail service and himself. His
only trouble in driving here was that
he had to use field glasses to see the
leader much of the time.
Deputy Marshal Eric Johnson ar
rived here from Council on February
4th, on his way to Marshall. The
genial Eric was busy from the time of
arrival to departure renewing friend
ships and being entertained by his
many old friends.
J. C. DeRossi. fur buyed from Coun
cil. passed through here on February
9th, enroute to Nome via Council. He
reported a successful buy. especially
with respect to mink pelts.
Our wide-awake purveyor of public
necessities has done such a thriving
business this winter that he is now
running short. From now on. unless
the dog teams make good the short
age. our only light during the dark
winter nights will be the ••light" in
the eyes of our fair one’s. There is
also a shortage of vegetable supplies.
The salmon shortage in tills section
and along the lower Yukon is working
a severe hardship on travellers who
fail to bring along their own dog feed,
not to mention the effects on the un
complaining canines. Unless Mr
Thomas Cod and the sportive seal sup
plies live shortage later on many dogs
will have to be killed—"to save their
lives,” as somebody said! There were
plenty of fish in the river this summer
but, owing to high water,- the people
could not seine. Also the greater
part of the fish caught with gill nets
could not be dried because of the con
tinuous rain during the fishing sea
Whaleback, a widely known old ks*
kimo, after whom the stopping: point
known as “Whaleback,” located be
tween I'nalakleet and Kaltag. wa«
named, died recently. He was buried
at I'nalakleet on the 8th. Whaleback
was a unique character. He was bent
nearly double and had an enormous
hump on his back. But he did the
work of any man despite his physical
afflictions, asked no charity from any
one and was always ready to give to
the needy traveller. His death will
be deeply regretted by many who have
enjoyed his hospitality while on the
winter trail. His wife died a couple
of years ago from blood poisoning, fol
lowing an operation, leaving him with
four children who are now orphaned.
Ohas Carlson, of the N. C. Company
is now in the Iditarod section on hie
way back to St Michael. Charley left
for the Outside on the Cordova last
fall to secure specialist treatment for
an ear trouble. His return is some
what sooner than expected. Perhaps
the “lure of the North” has something
to do with it. Fred Webster, another
old timer, is with him. We have had
cold weather here and latterly, strong
winds and snow. Now the trails are
Best described as "on the bum.”
