Monroe Reports In
A short wave radio message
addressed to Geo. S. Maynard
was received today from R. B.
Julian at Egavik, by amateur
station K7BUL at Nome, Gordon
Smith. Following is the message:
Ray Monroe and party arrived
at Ohogomute tonight. I talked
with him over Sid Moore’s station
KIOJ. He said they were all
well, but the dogs were getting
weary. They expect to arrive at
Bethel next Saturday where they
will get extra dogs. He said they
had to break trail all the way and
that none of the trails are staked.
They send regards to all.
Signed: R. B. Julian

the Russian American Company,
established a post at New Arch

north of the present Sitka. This
post was destroyed by the Indi
ans in the Sitka Massacre of 1802.
“The site was practically un

The several hundreds of various
relics were preserved carefully
and their location noted in detail

Rare Find
The climax of Dr. Robe’s lec
ture was a description of a sheet
of iron plate buried behind the
site of the stockade by the Russ
ians. This plate was “No. 12” of
about nineteen buried along the
Alaska coast to indicate that the
land was owned by Russia.
A cross, the number of the plate
and a brief inscription, all in
bronze, were rivited to the plate, j
Dr. Robe declared the investiga-1
tion was a prime piece of research
and the find was the most import
ant of its kind in Alaska. Not
one of the other plates has been
found.

It is prophesied the coming win
ter sport in Alaska will be wolf
hunting by airplane. Pilot Maur
ice King and Archie Ferguson of
the Ferguson Airways have al
ready bagged four in the Selawick
district. Said pilot King “it is a
great sport”. The wolves are prov
ing a terrible menace to the
deer in this part of the country.
Pilots report the herds have dim
inished to about one half the
size of last year’s herds, and un
less a vigorous campaign is
launched immediately to wipe
out this destructive animal, it
is feared the deer will eventually
be exterminated.
More snowfall has been report
ed in Caindle and vicinity this
year than in any previous year,
according to many of the old tim
ers.
