ROMANTIC NORTH STILL LIVES
FOR FORMER SIXTY. ALASKA
Wrangell Cannery Head
Has Colorful Life Replete
With Hardship and Endur
ance as Mail Driver.
The heritage of Alaska
that was, although fading
with the memory of man,
is a long, long way from ob
livion. The approach of
regular air mail, the Pacific
coast highway, and the ten
acles of a persistent civiliz
ation simply accentuate the
wild, roistering and rugged
youth of the country.
In Juneau is a man who
came to the Territory as a
tall, square-shouldered man
with the lust of adventure
in his veins. Now, as Karl
Thiele, president of the Dia
mond K Packing Company
of Wrangell, he is one of
Alaskan’s leading and high
ly respected citizens, with
years of public service be
hind him.
Thiele came to the north
with the gold rush, but the
simple process of extract
ing yellow ore from mother
earth, did not hold him for
long.
Newspaperman
He settled in the Fair
banks region, and for sever
al months he distributed
the daily newspapers of the
interior city to miners on
Ester Creek by dog team
and in summer by horse
and blackboard.
It was on the trail with
the dogs that Thiele found
a life which still retains for
him a thrill which pursuing
their adventures on the
printed page in an arm
chair may imagine but nev
er really appreciate.
Thiele is still a young man
but his eyes light up as he
recalls the days when he
packed the United States
mail on the last leg of its
great sweep about the Terr
itory. For years he had the
500-mile run from Bethel,
on the Kuskokwim, over
land south-eastward thru
the lake area to the mouth
of_ Bristol Bay, and then a

long the coast to Dilling
ham and Cape Constantine.
Had Hard Sledding
The whole story of those
runs, and the adventures
experienced enroute, will
perhaps never be told. But
one occasion stands vividly
in his recollection—when
1 he snows were so deep,and
the blizzards so strong,that
he left Bethel in mid-Nov
ember and aurived with his
dogs on New Year’s Day at
the end of his run.
And all that time on the
trail, with a tiny canvas'
pup-ten1 made out of sled
equipment, sleeping on the
snow in temperatures that
hovered around GO and 70
degrees below! He learned
to love his dogs deeply on
those runs.
“Ah, but we were young,
and didn’t care!” Thiele re
minisces. His story is not
one to be told in unemotion
al type. It is one for the
hour of relaxation, the cof
fee and the cigars. And if
it has any equals, they are
to be found only in such a
place as Alaska.
Since then Thiele has
spent several years as sec
retary of Alaska, and when
his term expired he devot
ed his full time to the cann
ing business, in whose in
terest he is now visiting
here.
Karl Thiele is one of the
Territory’s self-made men,
and one who has lived to
reap the rich reward Alas
ka offers to those who
know how to win her affec
tions.—The Juneau Alaska
