CANDLE MERCHANT
ARRIVES AFTER
STORMY TRIP
Hilkey Robinson, of tho mercan
tile firm of Greenberg and Robinso?!
arrived in Nome this week on busi
ness matters relating to his firm.
He left Candle on April 12th, com
ing by the way of Deering. Shish
nraref and Teller, and succeeded in
procuring a large number of ipritmc*
skins. (
Referring to the weather the
traveler states that blixaards have
prevailed irn <the -north country for
a long period of time. He himself
had an experience that illustrates
the many dangers besetting a mush
eT thru the bairren wastes of the
•north. After leaving Teller iin the
morni/ng a storm sprung up. but h<»
thought that he could pass thru it
without difficulty. Instead of abat
ing the storm increased and after
traveling until 5 P. M. Robinson,
now unable to see the trail stakes,
stopped his team, unhitched the dogs
and climbed iin-to hie sleeping bag.
In the morning he discovered that
his dogs were missing. The wind
was'still blowing hard and one couhl
see but a few 'feet ahead. Follow
ing the trail stakes for a few yards
a dark object loomed up and a few
feet farther on Robinson found the
shelter cabin and all of his dogs, wh-o
sensed -the presence of the shelter
land during the might had gone to
jit. The cabin mentfoned is’called
^the Douglas cabin and Robinson had
{slept im the open the night before
{within 100 yards of his objective.
vA man Hess experienced on the trail
{would have no doubt become lost im
{the storm and wandered far from
{the path and likely perished im the
istorm. Following the old precept
tof experienced travelers, Robinson,
when once (the trail 1 was lost or lin
ger tain, stopped and campod until
conditions changed.
Coming down the west coast Sam
.Torkelsen and Mtes CochTan were
.met at Sim rock, where tthey were
snow bound. Mins Cochran is en
,route to Teller to visit her former
associate Mrs. John Reade.
E. E. Pierce‘and wife, who have
.mushed in over.-the trail from Nona
ne, were at Uraalakleet a few weeks
ago atnd by this time have arrived
ait Candle, where Mr. Pierce is in
terested in a dredging project.
Referring to conditions in the
Candle district Robinson states that
a prosperous fur season has panned
and all the residents are preparing
, for a successful summer’s mining
Mr. Robinson will remain hi Nome
until the first rtf May, returning to
Candle to resume his business af
fairs there.
ALASKA D06 RAGING
RESULTS III BETTER
BREED Of DORS
SilMM-iiui !><*««• Air Sni«l u> bo Far
Superior to Mu In mute or
During the visit of Colonel Jufou
C. Ga.twa.Is in Cordova recently, says
th** Qordova Times, many compli
mentary remarks were made to him
about his Siberian do*;. “lei." The
colonel stated that “lei" is French
for “(Tome here." and he secured
the dog in Nome from Leonard Sep
paia, it hire-‘-it Dm e winner of tihe Nome
sweetpstaJtes. and one of the most
famous dog m ushers the North has
ever produced. “Ici" was bred from
Seppala’s best racing team and is
from a pure bred Siberian rttraiin
developed by the natives of Siberia
in the region west of Alaska.
The Siberian dog ifc said to be
superior to other dogs on the winter
traiil in spirit, inttolligence. speed and
endurance. They are more highly
developed than tihe so-called Alaskan
husky or malamute dog. Siberian
dogs can hark, whereas the tnala
mute and the husky howl.
The cotoueTs opinion of t.he Siber
ian dog is 'that he comes from the
same stock as the Belgian police dog.
that they are nott well fitted for
heavy work, such as freighting, as
the larger type of the Alaskan dog,
but for other purposes he believes
they are hiighly superior. The Si
bertan dog is called by the old-tim-*
ers of the Territory,, “an alll-day
dog,” meaning that they are good
every day from morning till night, '
for from'six to eight miles an hour :
and aTe apparently as fresih at the f
end of the day as when they started
in the morning.
Colonel Gotwals believes that with
the revival of the Alaskan sweep
stakes race. 8t will serve the purpose,
of areat'inig a better breed of dog54
That these "Little steeds of the
north" are absolutely the only means
oC transportation into remote regions
in winter, or until that time When
roads and trails will completely tra
verse Alaska.

U. S. FUR WARDEN
RETURNS FROM
EXTENDED MUSH
Frank Dtiffesne. Fur Warden and
U S. Game Ward on, aoco.ni pen ied by
ICnas. black man, returned to Nome
(Thursday after an extensive busi
ness trip Into the interior of the Yu
kon country. Leaving here on Feb.
10th tho Warden traveled ovot 1680 ,
miles. goLnig as far up as Tacofcna, |
near McGrath. The Innoko river!
district was also included in the trip.
Thruout the trip heavy trails were
eucountered and snow shoes were
u«ed for many weary miles. In the
Kuskokwim country the snow lay
eight fa«Jt deep on the level and
trails were entirely obliterated.
When, snow shoeing whs necessary
a distance of only 2*4 n*ile3 per hour
v-ais rrtade. In orae instance Mr. Du
freene took a sled deer Tide that
brought Kim several thrills. Hav
ing a distance of only fourteen miles
to accomplish he started off at a 20
mile gate, but his snow jitney was
li! such contrary mood that if took !
seven hours to reach his destination. '
Mr. Dufresne concluded that walk
ing was much ft** tor and more rauVid,
The purpose of this trip was to
acquaint the people of the Yukon
Inferior .vr*Lth the new fur and game
laws. Realizing that for vears no
direct communication has been had
with these people; 'that they wore
ignorant of recent legislation and
feeling that »if properly approached
they would readily pee the value of .
oi.i daence. Mr. Oufresne .took this i
tnp in the .spirit of a missionary. In f
com men ting on the manner in which :
he was received he stated that with f
the exception of a few selfish White
trader* the people were willing a.ml
eager to obey the law. The recal
citrant whites, and a few undesdr
aldes among the natives, are averse
to observe the law governing Reaver
bu! after more cool deliberation,
have decided that respect for the
Law is the hotter policy’.
It became the order of .things to
enter a village or settlement and
in due hi me hold public meetings to
v hnch the entire community flocked,
as many as 200 have attended these
meetings. In some Instances a de
bate was held between the Warden
and the natives, the latter stating
their objectiions and caserns for op
tposrltion to the law. In all oases
Jthe meetings resulted in the old
hh>efe promising peaceful suKmfs
Ncn to the laws, .this submission in
cluding themsdlves and their people.
jAs Mr. Rufresne gave them to under
bland that hks mission was not to
Inunish offenders, but to cm li ghten
Ithem as to the reasons why their
pbedli-ence would benefit themselves
as well as prove their loyalty to ex
isting laws, he feeds that his trip
ihas been highly successful. Now
Hint the people understand that the
llaw exists and has back of Kt the
panction of the government there is
pvfsry reasoQ to believe that they will
Aceep faith and abolish their former
practices.
The various articles appearing in j
ithe Nome Nugget, relative to tihe
iformation and actiivifios of the N. W '
iFur, Game and- Fish Association,
ihavo been widely circulated and i
(eagerly read. Hearty approval of
