BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Charles Sinclair, sentenced
last December to imprison*
ment for two years in the fed
eral jail at Juneau, made hie
escape from the jail recently.
Sinclair was convicted on four
counts of violation of the Alas
ka liquor law, and in addition
to the jail sentence was fined
$1,500.
Louis Christensen was recent
ly adjudged insane in the U.S.
Commissioner’s court at Cor
dova and w as sent out to the
Morningside Sanitarium.
The 42-years-old Star of Alas
ka, a square rigged ship re
cently won a race from San
Francisco to Alaska from the
bark Star of England. The
ships, which started the race
on April 3, are owned by the
Alaska Packers Association,
and were competing for a $500
purse. Word that the Star of
Alaska had passed Chirikof
Island^ first on April 24 by the
company, which announced
that more than $25,000 had
been bet on the race, including
a month’s pay, which was won
by Captain Mortonsen from
Captain Weise.
The body of an unknown man
was recently found at Funter
Bay. A description of the body
received at the office of the
U. S. Commissioner a Juneau
said the weight was about 190
pounds, height about 6 feet,
no teeth in skull, flesh entirely
gone. The clothing consisted
of a pair of red rubber boots,
with white circles at the top,
grey wool pants, grey wool
shirt, suspenders, and a macki
naw. Money to the amount of
$285 was found in the hip
pocket but no other papers.
Disappointed with the result
of its efforts to promote rein
deer grazing among the Indian
tribes of interior Alaska, the
Federal Bureau of Education is
about to abandon the work
and dispose of its experiment
al herd. Caribou are too plenti
ful and easy to slaughter for
the Indians to take an inter
est in the care and breeding
of the domesticated animalsu
Sgme years ago the govern
ment brought a herd of sev
eral hundred deer from the
Kuskokwim with a view to in
troducing the breeding and
grazing industry along the
line of the Alaska Railroad. It
was located at Cantwell,
where grazing conditions were
favorable. The herd thrived
and had a normal increase
but the Indians whom it was
sought to interest were indif
ferent to begin with and re
mained in that state. They
could not understand why it
was beneficial to them to play
nursemaids to a drove of do
mesticated animals when, all
they had to do if they wanted
meat to eat or skins for use
for parkas or other clothing

Alaska
was to step outside of their
villages and slaughter a few
caribou, the wild counterpart
of the deer. Thus faced with a
lack of interest among the
people it was seeking to edu
cate, the Bureau of Education
has decided to go out that line
of endeavor in the interior. It
will bequeath the herd to the
three Eskimo herders and one
apprentice who were brought
to Cantwell with the herd, ex
cept for a small band of 15
deer, which has been donated
to the Alaska Agricultural
College and School of Mines
for experimental purposes.
A run of red salmon in the
Chilkat River that lasted five
weeks, during which time
thousands of the fish ascended
the stream, was reported re
cently by Capt. M. J. O’Con
nor, assistant agent of the
Bureau of Fisheries in South
eastern Alaska. It is the first
time in the history of the
stream that there has been a
winter run of reds, he declar
