TROAST REPORTS ON
TRIP OF INSPECTION
BUREAU ACTIVITIES
’ •. ,
Returning from one of the most
extensive inspection trips ever made
by a government official through
the territory, N. L. Troast, Archi
tect and District Superintendent for
the United States Bureau of Indian
Affairs, arrived in Juneau recently.
Mr. Troast made the trip for the
purpose of inspecting all PWA pro
jects in the Interior, Northern and
Westward districts for the Bureau,
says the Juneau Daily Empire of
December 19.
Covering thousands of miles by
plane and steamer, among the com
munities visited by Mr Troast on
his trip were Cordova, Copper Cen
ter, Fairbanks, all by plane. From
Kotzebue, he took the North Star
to visit Kivalina, Point Hope, Wain
wright, Point Barrow, Point Lay,
Tigara, Shishmaref, and 6ack to
Kivalina. At Kivalina he again
took a plane and stopped at Kotze
bue, Kiwalik, Candle, Deering and
Nome. At the latter place he again
boarded the North Star and made
a' trip with stops at King Island, Dio
mede Island, Cape Prince of Wales,
Tin City and Teller.
From Nome, Mr Troast visited
Unalakleet, Shaktoolik, Koyuk, Ega
vik, White Mountain, Buckland,
Baldwin, Igloo Point and Nunachek.
PWA projects which he inspected,
included new school buildings,
roads, trails, clearing, draining and
constructing of playgrounds, were
located at Cordova, Copper Center,
Wainwright, Point Lay, Diomede
Island, Nome, Teller, Wales, Shish
mareff, Unalakleet, White Moun
tain and Kivalina, and involved the
■expenditure of a large portion of
I the $100,000 PWA appropriation to
Jthe Bureau
Diomede Island Work
“Among the most interesting places
j I visited was Little Diomede Island,
j where the Eskimos, under the direc
tion of the Eskimo teacher for the
Bureau, have built walks, streets,
steps and walls, all of cobblestones.
They have also built a trail to the
end of the island from the village
and it all presents a most attractive
appearance. The new school house
there, which was constructed by
Steve Raymond, of Juneau, is now
in use and is a fine building I also
inspected new schools at Unalakleet,
and Buckland.’’
In addition to inspecting projects
already completed, Mr. Troast selec
ted sites for proposed new school
buildings* at Shaktoolik, Teller,,
Kotzebue, Kivalina, Point Hope,
Wainwright and Point Barrow. He
also selected the site for a hospital
at Unalakleet.
Appointed New Teachers
Among the work accomplished by
Mr. Troast was the appointment of
new teachers for schools located
throughout the northern district.
Appointments were all made from
among Alaskan residents and in
cluded Mr. and Mrs. Tom Anvyah,
of Nome, Eskimos who were educat
ed at Chanawee and Bellingham
Normal in the State of Washington,
to teach at Little Diomede Island;
Mr. and Mrs Harry K. Brandt, of
Nome, to Koyuk;^Mrs. Havercamp,
of Nome, to Teller Mission. The last
school has been reopened after
being- closed for a year. Mr. and
Mrs William H. Albee, of Fairbanks,
received appointments to Cape Prin
ce of Wales; Ada Springer, of Nome
was appointed as assistant teacher
at that place and Mrs. Andrew Ny
len, formerly of Juneau and now of
Solomon, was appointed as teacher
for the Solomon school. The school
at Solomon was furnished by the
Eskimos and has but recently been
opened. All Bureau schools thru
out the- Territory are now supplied
with teachers, Mr. Troast said.
During Mr. Troast’s absence he
took care of the closing of the Bur
eau district offices at Kotzebue and
at Nome. All of the Bureau work
in these communities will be super
vised from Juneau henceforth, he
said.
Mildest Season
On December 11, Mr. Troast made
a trip, said T>y oldtimers to be a re
cord, when he went by steamer
from Unalakleet to Egavik. It is
said to be the latest date the trip
was ever made by boat. “There is
still little ice at Nome, and it comes
•and goes, Old-timers in the Bering
Sea region say it is the mildest year
ever recorded. In fact, it has been
a mild year throughout the Interior
and North, with practically no ice
at Point Barrow, as yet. All planes
are travelling on wheels and some
delay was caused when it became
necessary to change back to them
from skiis used for a short time,”
Mr. Troast said.
“While many families are still
doubled up in houses, everyone in
Nome is taken care of with shelter
for the winter. About twelve new
houses have been constructed, of
which ten were built by the Red
Cross and turned over to families.
Two made of cork and steel, were

put up by the Lomen Company for
rent or sale and a number of cabins
and houses have been brought in
from the creeks, and set up on va
cant lots. One family even brought
in a boat from Nome River and had
it placed on dry land for a home.
Other housed have been revamped,”
Mr. Troast declared.
Mr. Troast was at Kivilina when
the fire occurred at Nome on Sep
tember 17, supervising the loading
of reindeer on the North Star, and
did not arrive in the famous city
until a week later. Since Septem
ber 24 he has been in and out of
Nome most of the time assisting
with the rehabilitation work, mak
ing a study of the conditions for the
new Federal building proposed for
the city and estimates of the cost
of the building. For the last -six
weeks, before leaving for Juneau,
he was doing special investigation
work for the Secretary of the In
terior, he said.
Conditions Good
“Conditions are good in Nome and
the cooperation shown by the peo
ple was splendid. The residents are
looking forward to a better commun
ity than existed before the fire, with
an improved water system and fire
prevention system and better build
ings, erected so as to fit the condi
tions of the section and climate.
"The people were very apprecia
tive of Gov. Troy’s prompt action in
securing the immediate appropria
tion of $50,000 for emergency and
relief. The money was used main
ly in clearing up the debris, provid
ing a temporary fire extinguishing
system and other work that needed
taking care of at once,” he said.
“Altogether ninety-two families or
individuals living by themselves,
lost their residences and all their
possessions in the fire, though the
only evidence remaining now are a
few old vaults which are still stand
ing, and the empty spaces. Streets
have been graded, widened and
straightened, telephone and light
poles are up and the temporary fire
fighting system is in effect.
“There was considerable conges
tion before those leaving for the
winter got away on the last steam
ers, but after the sailing of the Vic
toria, Delwood, Forest King and
Baldwin, conditions were easier.
“For social and other public gath
erings, the Bureau school has been
thrown open to the public, as every
other building large enough for
functions of this kind, were destroy
ed,” he declared.
On his way to Juneau, Mr. Troast
flew from Nome to Cordova, by way
of Fairbanks, adding more mileage
to the many he has covered by
plane since leaving home.
