In an article written for the Seattle Post Intelligencer and printed
in the Sunday edition of June 17th a writer who signs Francis J. Tietsori,
writes of Amundsen's attempting to fly to the North Poie. The writer
in a long drawn out articte about the frozen north and the many hard
ships real and imaginary that Amundsen was undergoing wnile making
the attempted flight states in one paragraph, “It is 20u hundred miles
from Nome to Wainwright, but with most of the snow gone now. a small
crowd in automobiles is expected to go up to Walnwright to see the his
toric event of Amundsens departure.'*
This writer continues with. "Temporary wireless arrangements
aT€ expected to be made at Wainwright to flash to Nome word of Amund
sen’s departure. In any event an automobile courier will dash back from
Wainwright to carry the word that will be flashed over the wires to all
the world.”
The Nugget has commented on this story in another issue but since
that time we have received a copy of the Post Intelligencer and read the
story ourselves printed under the name of the Writer already mentioned
Who this writer is and what he knows about Alaska can readily be seen
by any one who has the most remote idea of the conditions that exist in
Alaska from Nome North both in the summer and winter. Any one who
has read anything of travelling conditions in Alaska north of Nome
should know better than to print or allow to be printed such an -liter
impossibility of any one travelling from Nome to Wainwright by auto
mobile.
This writer refers to Alaska in words that would seem to give any
one reading the article who did not know Alaska the impression tJiat the
writer was thoroughly familiar with conditions in Alaska both as to
travelling and the facilities for transmitting messages. But to the
person knowing Alaska as it is, the article is a huge joke, but it is no
joke to Alaskans by any means. This article not only does an injustice
to Alaska but It screes to place in the minds of the outside world a mis
representation of Alaska as it really is. If it were possible for the
Events to take place that have been mentioned by this writer th^n the |
outside world should have been informed of Amundsen’s attempted :
fright weeks before they were. This being the case then what would |
the outside world think was our intention in holding back the information j
that is of such great importance to the world at large. It is in this way I
that an injustice has been done to our Territory.
And why a paper with the circulation that the Post Intelligencer has and
also being printed right in the gateway to Alaska should let a stor> of this
Ilk get by is more than any of us can understand. The writers idea of
the distances between places in Alaska remind one of the cowboy who
rode half the distance across Texas and then said, "If the world is as
big the other way as it is the way I’ve rode she is some sine." This writer
has evidently read some of the late Jack London stories on Alaska and
then dreamed the rest. If this is not the solution to the problem then—
where did the writer get his information?
