j Bishop Crimont Of
\ Alaska Relates Do
in<zs At Matanuska
Rt. Rev. Bishop Joseph R. Cri
mont. Catholic B hop of the Terri
tory of Alaska, whose headquarters
are in Juneau, arrived in Fairbanks
on '. i it all Cath
olic mission in Alaska, says the
Fairbanks News-Miner of July 1st.
Afti r remaining in Fairbanks 10
days, the Bishop will go down the
Yukon to visit missions along the
river and on the Arctic coast,at such
places a Nome, St. Michael, Aku
lui:ik. Hooper Bay, Pilgrim Springs
and Kotzebue. lie will return to
Fairbanks in about six weeks or two
months.
Iii North 11 Years.
Bishop Crimont has been carrying
on missionary work in Alaska for 41
years, having been put in charge of
tho mis-mn .it Holy Cross in 1894.
He recalled today his first visit to
Fairbanks, which was in 1904.
About the only frame building
here then was the courthouse, he
said. Most of tho dwellings were
tents. I remember that on the 4th
of July they cleared off a space so
they could have a procession in the
town, said the* Bishop.
Tells of Matanuska Colony.
On his way north the Bishop vis
ited the Matanuska farm settlement
where Father Francis Merrill Sulz
man is in charge of the Catholic
Church work. Tn giving his impres
sion.. of the colony today he said:
I found much confusion there, as
they are behind on the schedule of
work that was planned. That is
why a certain number of the colon
ists began to fret and worry. They
are afraid that they won't have suit
able buildings constructed before
winter comes, and that the school
building will not be completed on
time.
A plan like that is a great under
taking and needs to be thought out
well beforehand. I think that the
details were not prepared long eno
ugh before the actual work was be
gun. However, no one is to blame, i
11 has just been hurried loo much.
Well-Digging Problem
What puzzles the settlers is the
problem of securing water. The
Matanuska River is a glacier stream
that is full of silt. Digging of the
wells is slow. In some places wat- ,
or is reached at a depth of 12 feet,
and on other farms they have driven
down as much as 50 feet without find
ing water This drawback is com
pensated by the fertility of the land
The soil reaches a depth of 20 feet
in places. They can raise anything
on it. I
Satisfaction and optimism, howev
er. i. the general attitude of the far
mers '
S ime of the farm sections allotted
wi e not good because they were |
selected from a map and not all
of ti o ground was inspected first.
The families have all they need,
as they can get any supplies they
want from the commissary. Np mon
ey involved in the transactions,
a- each family has an account of
$3,000 from which the purchases are
subtracted. My guess is that the
government will have to add anoth
er $3,000 for each family, for hom
v with 4 or 10 children in them need
a lot of food. Their farm imple- ,
nv ::ts are borrowed from the admin
is*. at the colony center. Some
of the colonists say the goods are too
They me not accustomed to I
p es, and they see their ac- |
c amts shrinking too fust. j
All Doing Best
1 have no criticism to make of
the work there. The officials show
a desire to serve, and the farmers
aiv doing the best they can. The
trouble is that they do not have
enough time, which results in a lack
of coordination. Eugene Carr, ar- .
rived at Palmer from Washington, .
D. C., a few days before I got there, j
to see to a thorough organization of
the work.
A building that serves temporar
ily as a community church where
services are carried out by alloting
a certain time of the day for each
religious denomination represented
there.
The colonists generally, it seems
to me, are happy!
