Engineer Tells
Soviet
Ship at Barrow
Ole Berlin of the Public Survey
Office, accompanied by his assist
ant Ray Grasser, who returned
today via plane from Kotzebue,
told of meeting the Commander
of the Soviet Icebreaker Krassin
at Point Barrow, and the arrival
of a mammoth twin-engined fly
ing boat to participate in the
search for the missing Soviet air
plane which left Moscow, Aug.
I3th for the United States via the
North Pole.
Mr. Berlin and his assistant
made a voyage to Point Barrow
aboard the Indian Affairs vessel
North Star, Captain Frank Whit
lam, and then returned to Kotze
bue, from where he flew to Nome
by plane.
The North Star returned to
Kotzebue last Saturday, Sept. 18,
after being successful in its voy
age to Pt. Barrow. While at Bar
row the Icebreaker Krassin came
into port and visitors from the
North Star went aboard the cele
brated vessel, and the Soviet
members of the expedition re
paid the call.
Mr. Berlin declared that to his
knowledge, the Krassin had pen
etrated as far East as Herschel
Island, and several hundred
miles north of there into the Arc
tic ice pack without finding any
trace of the missing Russian air
plane or its crew of six aviators.
He stated, he believed the ice
breaker would possibly winter
along the northern Alaska coast.
It was also declared in other quar
ters that the Krassin was to have
contacted a coal steamer from
Vladivostok near Icy Cape and
transferred nearly ten thousand
tons of coal to be used during
the winter.
Berlin and his assistant expect
to embark by plane for Fair
banks and his office in Juneau
either tomorrow or the next day.
The North Star is at Kivalina
now, it is understood, and will
remain there loading reindeer
and discharging supplies for the
next week or ten days, according
to reports.

PLAIN PEOPLE VS. THE DEVIL. Into a courtroom for the first time in .300 years
came Pennsylvania’s bearded, self-styled “plain people,” the Amishmen. They went to make a last
diteh stand against “worldly” things, which they said their faith prohibits and which, in this instance,
was the new Hast Lampeter school which would take their children farther from home. They sought
to continue a one-room school.

Completes Good
Season Mining
Close to Nome
Albin Poison who has been op
erating underground on the old
Corning claim, located about two
miles north of the city of Nome,
during the past summer, stated
today that operations would pro
bably cease for the season about
October 1st.
Since March 1st, operations I
have been going on in the mine
which has four stoeps down 32
feet from the surface. He has
been operating here for the past
three or four years. The dumps
taken out this season and sluiced
up have been fairly successful,
said Mr. Poison, and it is assur
ed that operations will continue
there during the next three years.
j Shortage of water during the
months of June and July hamp
ered the cleanup and operations
considerably, but since August
everything has been going full
blast, he declares.
Increased cost of operations,!
entailing supplies, equipment.!
men, (of which he had 10 all
summer), have made things rath
er tough, it was learned, but
still, it is a good proposition and
he expects to continue next year.
Mrs. Poison and daughter Vesta
who have been out on the claim
with him all summer will be re
turning to their home in the
city the first of October.
