JAPANESE SURVEY
ANADYK SECTION
(Nome Nugget)
The White Mountain, owned
and controlled by Toney Gris
co and San Malsago, left Nome
June 27, bound for Siberia on
an extensive trading expedition
and returned to Nome July 19th
for further supplies.
The boat landed at Whalen,
the first stop after leaving
Nome, and found that due to a
severe winter no furs had been
caught and without either furs
or money the natives were un
able to do any trading. __
After leaving Whalen the
White Mountain went te Ana
dyr and there found that a
Jap gunboat had landed a large
force of surveyors and were
platting the entire Anadyr sec
tion.
No one seemed to know def
initely what was the purpose
of this activity , in fact, the peo
ple were afraid to enquire.
Japanese surveyor flags dot
the entire -hillsides about the
town. After some days’ activity
in the Anadyr section the Japs
moved twenty miles up the
coast to the bay of Nicoli, where
they established land camps,
surveyed the country and e
rected a wireless outfit.
The Jap boat then left for
other parts., but left behind
them the Camps of surveyors
arid wireless men.
John Pitcher at 97 Still In
Public Service •
Heres a man who refutes the
idea that elderly persons should
be out of the deck of life around
about 70 and placed in a com
fortable rocker to nurse their
memories of young and active
days, John Pitcher, 97, justice
of the peace for Half Moon Bay
township, attends regularly to
his duti es with every indica
tion of keeping them up for
some time. He has held this po
sition since 1873, which is a fair
ly good indication that he has
pleased his constituents.
In ’61 he took up farming in
the Half Moon bay district, near
old Spanishtown. Here he re
mained the long years since,
rearing his family and leading
the community in a spirit of de
velopment. On a recent trip
through the State, Governor
Stephens paid the veteran office
holder an unusual compliment.
The two were photographed
together, and the Governor said
a fitting caption would be:
“Here stands the Governor &
the man who ought to be.” Bsc.
