Haycock News
By Irene Cornue
The month of June passed quickly
in Haycock due to an abundance
of air and tractor traveling.
Lillian Porter arrived home
from Mt. Edgecumbe June 8. We
had long awaited her arrival and
it is a pleasure to all to have such
a vivacious young girl in the com
munity.
Reggie Joule took Oscar Swan
son to Nome on his return trip.
It was with a bit of reluctance that
we bid Oscar farewell. Spring on
The Koyuk had been exceedingly
pleasant, thanks to the hospitality
of the Swansons at their Landing
Home.
June 10—Sophie Rylander en
tertained for Daphne’s 7th birth
day. Cake, cookies, ice cream and
root beer were enjoyed by the
guests.
June 13—A little yellow plane
circled Haycock and we all stared
in amazement at the Beltz Line.
It was pleasure for us to see John
ny again and to meet Fred, his
pilot. As usual, the Beltz Line en
trepreneur was the butt of many
jokes. Henry Moon chose the same
day to return to Haycock from the
Koyuk River. Needless to say, it
was a “hilarious” night with the
Beltz Line in town. Johnny and
Fred flew to Nome the following
day but returned shortly with in
teresting packages for his near
neighbor.
It was a bit difficult to celebrate
Carl Swanson’s birthday when he
was at The Landing, but the cake
was enjoyed at any rate. Carl
gathered rhubarb and did some
fishing.
After the oil was freighted from
the Landing to Haycock Ren Dahl.
Peter Charlie and Slim Evans
made several trips to Bear Creek.
The weather and trail were both
accommodating. Henry Moon and
Jim Baldwin completed a go’-devil
with Bill Porter’s able assistance.
Wallace Porter and Irene Cornue
may be said to have inspected the
work, but their thoughts reverted
to coffee time and American
League broadcasts.
Willie Foster flew Charles West
and Art Nessit of U.S.G.S. to Hay
cock. From Haycock they secured
transportation to the head of Peace
River with Ben Dahl.
Reggie Joule honored us at
lunch one day while his passenger,
Dr. Hanson, botanist of the Cath
olic University, Washington, D.C.,
quickly surveyed the growth of
reindeer moss on the surrounding
hills. He reported an abundant
growth of the lichens. This was
valuable information to one local
miner.
Rev. Carlson and Amundsen
honored us with a visit one even
ing. Sophie Rylander entertained
them for supper and church was
held at the school. It was most
inspiring to listen to Rev. Carl
son’s message and Rev. Amund
sen's solos. We suddenly realized
how much we had missed in spiri
tual guidance.
George Leonard, Sr., was ailing
for a few days. We wish him a
speedy recovery.
Ray Co'nnel of California has
joined the Dahl mining crew as
an employee for the summer. Ray
spent last summer working on the
Alaska R.R. He is a pre-dental j
student.
Charlie Moon arrived at Hay
■
cock June 23 from the Kovuk via
Death Valley. That afternoon many
of us journeyed to The Landing ,
for a load of oil and greyling-fish
ing in Kenwood. The fishing was
excellent, the Haycocks were
abundant with flowers <and a few
i
empty tanks) and the trip was
enjoyed by all—even little Gloria
Leonard.
The Swansons, Georgie Leonard
and Irene Cornue spent the day
fishing at Peace River Crossing
while Henry and Charlie Moon
and Jim Baldwin took a load of
oil to the top of Moon Hill. Dahls
and Porters at various intervals
have spent evenings at Peace Riv
er fishing greyling. Thanks to the
kindness of those people who own
transportation, all the village has
enjoyed excursions and trips away
from town.
I
John Winder flew in from
Sweepstakes on the Beltz Line
June 24. After an overnight in
town he chose to resume his work
on the creek the following day.
The Beltz Line brought Helga
A. Pederson to Haycock June 25
from Koyuk. A dance was held
at the school house. The music
was a bit distorted and a few
people chose to remain at home,
but we who wished to dance had
a fine time. And Carl Swanson
does make" excellent ice cream—
a perfect dessert for such a warm
evening.
June 27—The Bernard and Dahl
mining outfit and Baldwin and
the Moons bid farewell to Hay
cock for a few months and de
parted for Bear Creek and Sweep
stakes. Such queer-looking “cara
vans” started from the top of the
hill to pursue previously-made!
trails to their respective destina
tions. In retrospect, Haycock ap
peared peaceful, friendly and pic
turesque as it was nestled under
the bulk of Headache Hill.
Broadway hos become a syno
nym for the New York theatrical
district, and yet there is not a
legitimate theatre on the street
today. They all are on side streets.
The only theatres on Broadway
are movie houses.
