About Alaskans
Although more than 100
persons went down to tl^e
station at Fairbanks, to bid
goodbye to acquaintances,
and not six stayed to see
them off. “All aboard,”
said the conductor. After a
chorus of farewells the as
thmatic engine wheezed
and groaned but it did not
move. For several minutes
the locomotive bucked and
backed and went ahead,
but the train did not move.
After an additional engine
was placed on in front of
the other, the cars were
finally pried from the froz
en tracks and the train
moved away. Several pas
sengers were left, includ
ing Mrs. Roy B. Earling &
daughter, who phoned to
the University, stopped the
train and made the trip by
auto to College. The diffi
culty in moving the train
was caused by the mercury
being 53 degrees below
zero.
Great gains are reported
in the finances of the Terri
tory by Oscar Olson, terri
torial treasurer. His report
for last month shows a cash
balance in the treasury of
$716,050. The uptrend was
made decreased much great
er expenditures.
Frozen feet have put Chas
A. Trundi. U. S. Commiss
ioner of the Kantishna dis
trict, in urgent need of a
plane to get him to medical
care. Fog prevented planes
from going after the injur
ed man. Bringing news of
Mr.Trundi’s condition from
the Kantishna to McKinley
station John Rushmore,
park ranger, was nine days
on the trail in bitter cold
weather.
Among the major placer
mining developments of A1
aska for the year 1935 and
of the last several years is
the entrance of the McRay
interests into the Yukon
River area. The enterprise
involves one of the heavi
est investments made in
the territory in many yea
rs. Operations of the Mc
Ray company during the
past summer have centered
on Coal Creek, a tributary
of the Yukon which comes
in 60 miles above Circle.
Coal Creek is 140 miles by
air from Fairbanks.
Twenty thousand years
ago the climate and vege'ta
tion of Alaska were much
the same as they are today.
Spr: e, birch and diamond
willows flourished in Alas
ka 20.000 years ago and
herd: of caribou and mcose
roamed the plains. Bison,
the most numerous ol rhe
animals of that day, have
disappeared. Also horses,
once plentiful in Alaska;
lions very similar to those
found in Africa today, and
a giant bear at least twice
the size of the Kodiak bear,
have all vanished. Dorsh
has a theory that all animal
life became extinct at one
time in Alaska. He believ
es that those now here mi
grated back from other dis
tricts.
