(Continued from Pm One)
of wliat were at one time the
finest fiver steamers "in the world,
and recalled to mind the days \>f
th* ir magnificence and strength,
Buildings, warehouses, docks .all in
a stale of penile and decay, how
evr, ;the spirit of the oldtimer is
still there.
Charley Becklahd who has been
operating the X. c. Store has
severed his connection and is to
institute a trading venture of his
own at Kotltk. Dick Negus, Tom
Johnson, Jim Smith, all residents
for the past 35 years are still
carrying on with apparently the
same optimism and adventuresom
spirit that brought them to Ala
ska in the nineies. The genial
Henb Johnson, Commissioner and
Postmaster, together with his
bride of last summer, think St.
Michael the finest plgce in Alaska.
(Mr. .Wallen, the choolteacher,
is completing his fourth year of
service with the Territorial school,
his good wife sends her grt fet
ing.s to all her former Nome 'tri
ends.
On the way to the Yukon I
stopped overnight at the shelter
caibln maintained by the Road
Commission at Pt. Romanoff about
35 miles from St. Michael. It
contained a floor of solid ice.
which on my return about May 1
had, by the alchemy of nature,
progressed or degenerated, (take
your choice) into an oozy mass of
mud. It would be a decided im
provement, If the Road Comhais
sion has the necessary funds, to
place a floor in this shelter cabin.
At Chenelluk I had the pleasure
of a short visit with Lusy Petrie,
the Government nurse and teacher.
Mrs. Petrie is the former Lucy
Fredricks, daughter of Captain
Fredericks, for many years a trad
er at Andreasfky. Otto Ponlty,
•aon -of Captain Poulty of early
Yukon river fame also resides
here. An abandoned wireless
station is also close by. ^
My next stop was at Kotlik
where I visited the Kameroff fam
ily who have resided here for
many years, engaged in trapping,
fishing and trading. -Kotlik was
for some years the location of
Brunnell’s trading post, but the
since the dea h of A1 Brunnell
the family has resided in Nome.
Proceeding up the Yukon and
bearing a bunch of yelping dogs I
turned off and up a slough. Com
ing to the center of the disturb
ance, I made out the towering
patriarchial figure of Tom Gray,
former Nomeite, who has resided
on the Yuikon for the past twenty
years. He is full of years but In
excellent health and sends regards
to all his old time friends.
At Hamilton, which seemed to
■be quite a thriving village, I en
countered another >Nomeite, Mr.
Holmgren. He left Nome aiboii
1918 having served _ in the fire
department for some time prior
to taking up residence on the Yu
kon. He was in spite of his ad
vanced years, busily engaged In
completing a power scow with
which to pur-tue his fishing during
the coming season. I enjoyed a
heme cooked dinner and an even
ing of radio at th^ home of George
Butler, Manager of the N. C. Co.
store. George and his charming
wife are the proud parents of four
sturdy youngsters, all of them
native sons and daughters.
Mr. Butler is enthusiastic over
his section of the second division
and say* that if there Is a de
pression Is must be around the
well known corner that we hear
so much aibotu.
Alee Kashevinlkoff, a playmate of
my boyhood, has lived In Hamil
ton for many years, operating the
N.C. boat, Aguileet, during the sum
mer and carrying the mall from
•t Michael to Marshall daring the
winter.
I had the opportunity of spend
ing several days at the home of
Mtb. Rosie Kameroft, who, prior
to her marriage to Frank Kamer
oft made her home with us at 8t.
Michael , for a period >ot five years.
During this thne she became both
mother and , nurse to my young
sister and myself, following the
untimely death of our mother v
She Ik of the. finest type of true'
Alaskan womanhood and is very
h: hlv esteemod by all the seat
i< red resid.en s of the lower Yu
kon. Her oldest daughter. Paul
ine is the Government teacher in
this community'.
Mr Kitzliugh formerly connected
with Hie. HA Co. is one of the
progressive residents and is grad
ually accumulating a sizeable fox
farm ■ Waska Kamernif, another
old timer of the Gold Rush days
make|j home in this village.
Frhnk Korn. Andy Olsen. Pete
Jorgenson. Johansen the Lap and
John Monohan, formerly the
proprietor of the Elite Bath House
all live in the Same district close
to the South mouth of the Yukon.
(To be continued next issue)
It is the notion of E.W. Prtckard
the non-active Poet Laureate of
this col’n. that some of our fav
orite quotations are incomplete.
So comma rolling up his sleeves
and reviving the war-time slogan
[of "Sure, we’ll finish the job.” he
I turns out first "Man works from
jstrrr.to sun, but woman’s work is
I never done unless some man does
it” and challenges some other
phrase-mender to beat that one.
A millionaire who wrote a dread
fully illegible fist took a shoot in
the North of Scotland.
One night before retiring he
sent the head keeper detailed in
strucions for the morrow.
Next morning he was awakened
very early by the persistent skirl
ing of bagpipers beneath his win
dow’. ,
Summoning his manservant, he
said testily: "What’s that dread
ful racketT’
"Oh.” said the man, “that’s
Donald the keeper playing that wee
bit tune ye sent him last hight."
The old-fashioned fellow who
never thought anything of Tralk
ing eighteen or twenty miles In
the afternoon has a grandson who
never thought of• it- either.
