I last Sunday morning at 10 o’clocl
i after a delightful trip, except foi
! • little of the usual rough wea

j party found it necessary to pm
i into Golovin for a short time or

i The party reached Holy Cros>
i Saturday morning September 13.
! and after unloading the passen

having Holy Cross consisted of II
G. Gabrielson. Purser. K. K. Jo

'end Cus Holmlierg. chief steward
commissary and super cargo.
They picked up a lot of fresl
• atabb's at Holy Cross consistin'-:
of cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes
radishes, turnips, rutabagas and
ail sorts of green stuff.
The party bagged a good catch
of game plenty of ducks and
geese, and the friends of the hunt
ers were well supplied with game
upon the arrival of the Genevive
ia Nome on the return trip.
They say that the new road from
j Kaltag to Unalukleet is badly need
ed. and when completed will be a
| wonderful aid to travel in this sec
| tion. The portage, which is now
[ being surveyed by the Territory
1 under an appropriation by the last
| s> ssion of the Territorial Legisla
J lure, will be about On miles in
j length and would save over three
[ hundred miles of hard travel on
! the river and salt water. The trip
lc Holy Cross, which now requires
i about five days, could be made
over the portage easily in two
! days. These gentlemen recom
mend that the people of the Sec
ond Division get behind the move
ment for the tramway across tlie
portage and boost until it is put

The Genevive made the trip from
