$200,000 WORTH IF
MW FURS SHIPPED
On the last sailing of the Victoria
a very representative shipment of
Alaskan and Siberian furs- left Nome
for the Outside. Approximately
$200,000.00 worth of raw furs were
shipped thru the American Railway
Express office by the Hudson’s Bay
Co., Swenson & Co.. West Coast
Grocery Co., National Grocery Co.,
and numerous smaller shippers.
The Hudson’s Bay Co. shipped to
Vancouver, the Swenson & Company
to Seattle; West Coast to Tacoma
and the National Grocery Co. to
Seattle. Smaller shippers consign
ed to England, Canada and the Unit
ed States.
C. S. Crider, route agent for the
American Railway Express Company
came down the Yukon to Nome, ar
riving last Saturday evening on the
Victoria. He stated that his com
pany has opened four new express
offices along the river and that the
furs shipped from the express offices
on the Yukon this year exceeded in
quantity and value that of four
years before. Muskrats are plenti
ful while beaver and martin consti
tuted a very large part of the ship

While the furs sent on this Vic
toria are exceedingly valuable it is
reasonable to presume that before
the.season closes the total amount
of furs to leave the port of Nome
will be close to one million dollars
in value. The fdr shipments are
handled in such manner that the
average person has no conception of
the tremendous values expressed.
Shipped in containers they occupy
little space and seldom are displayed

hut as I see it. and as the facts seem \
to prove, this is only a disguise for ,
territorial exploration and aggres- j
sion. Were the work of these men 1
carried on from the countries of
their birth or adoption but little ob
jection might be made, but under
the pretense of “science" all the ob
tainable facilities of various depart
ments of the United States Govern
ment have been used to forward
their plans at the expense of the
United States.
In September 1921 Stefansson
hastily organized a party and took
possession of Wrangle Island for
Great Britain. Stefansson has been
under fire from Professors O’Neill j
and Anderson of Canada, over the
Karluk expedition of 1912-14. and
one of them had definitely charged
Stefansson with having "subordinat
ed the interests of science to his own
| personal advantage." during the Kar
luk expedition, which was under
Canadian auspices. In his exploit
of "taking” Wrangle Island Stefans
son perhaps saw a way of rehabili
tating himself with Canada and
Great Britain owing to the great
value of Wrangle Island as an air
j base for flights across the Arctic.
Alaska and Siberia effectively clos
ed the air exit of Great Britain or
Canada from the Atlantic, across the
Arctic, to the Pacific, on the main
littoral, so that Herald Island, a
small granite rock, unsuitable for
an air base, and Wrangle Island,
which is 70 miles long and 30 miles
wide, assume intense strategical im
portance. To Herald Island the
British may lay fair claim by right
of Lettett’s discovery of it except
for the implication of the northward
extension of boundary lines of na
tions abutting on the Arctic, a claim
for which northward extension Can
ada makes for all the territory' lying
between the 60th meridian west, and
the 141 meridian west, running from
the known lands therein to the
North Pole.
On November 9th. 19 21, at Kan
sas City Stefansson announced that
a party had been sent from Nome.
Alaska, to Wrangle Island, about
100 miles north of Siberia, to estab
lish a base for what he said would
be a hugli British exploring party
into the north, and arrived safely at
its destination.
Stefansson sent his “expedition”
out in an Amerioan vessel, flying the
American flag, the SILVER WAVE.
OF NOME. Alaska. He cajoled
three Americans to join the party
under~a Canadian leader, without
explaining to them the object of his
expedition, to take Wrangle Island
for Great Britain. This was in
September 1921. The Stefansson
party can not get out from Wrangle
Island until July or August at the
earliest this year, when we shall
know surely if the Americans in
Stefansson’s party raised the Amer
ican flag as the captain of the Silver
Wave said they did. when the Can
adians raised the British flag over
Wrangle Island on landing.
