PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Richard Windmuller, for
many years a resident of Val
dez and the Copper River Val
ley, was stricken with paraly
sis recently at Juneau. Mr.
Windmuller is 73 years old
and for some time past has
been employed as a boat hand.
R. K. Stewart .Territorial
predatory animal hunter, and
Jimmy Rhodes, engineer, had
a narrow escape from death
recently when their boat, the
Comrade, was driven ashore
and wrecked on the beach at
Lung Island. During a heavy
blow the boat broke loose
from its moorings and before
Rhodes could get his engine
working the vessel was blown
ashore. It struck with suth
force as to break the gas feed
line and escaping gasoline was
ignited by a lamp on the boat.
The explosion hurled Rhodes
clear out of the boat into the
water. He was picked up by
Stewart in a skiff. The two
men made their way to a fox
ranch on Lung Island and were

There is a marked scarcity of
fur in the Interior country, ac
cording to Walter Scott, well
known oldtimer of Fairbanks
and Nenana, who left for the
States recently. He came north
several weeks ago from Seattle
intending to spend the winter
buying furs along the Yukon
and Tanana rivers, 'but reports
received by him while at Fair
banks indicated that such a
trip as he planned would not
prove very profitable and he
decided to return to his head
quarters in Seattle. The re
ports indicated that the season
has been very backward in all
sections, with mink especially
scarce and very few foxes in
evidence. The scarcity of fur
extends even to the Fort Yu
kon country, where normally
there are all kinds of fur in
abundance. Trappers have
done very little up to the pres
ent time and the outlook for
the remainder of the winter is
not regarded as very encourag
ing. The fur is of inferior qual
ity at present owing to the |
mildness of the season.
Pete Farrell, better known as
“Montana Pete,” passed away !
recently at Juneau, at the age
of 81. Of the 81 years that j
made up his life 60 were j
crowded with the most hectic!
of adventures. Farrell was
given the name of Montana
Pete when he was driving
stage coaches during the early
days of Montana. After several
years of driving during which
he had many experiences that
would go well in a novel, Far
rell went to California, where
B
he took part in the glamorous
gold rushes that filled the
years from ’49 until the latter
part of the century. From Cali-,
fornia Farrell came to Alaska
and during the 40 years he
spent in the Territory he took
part in practically all of the
larger gold rushes, always in
search of adventure. As a gam
bler during the days when gold
dust was the stake to be played
for, he enjoyed the reputation
of being the winner of large
sums. It is said that in one
game of solo he won $25,000.
After the big rushes were a
thing of the past, Farrell went
to Southeatsern Alaska, where
he had resided some years.
Death was due to old age and
a failing heart. His only sur
viving relative is a brother who
lives in California
Joe Former, who went to
Dawson in 1898 and had not
been outside since, died sud
denly at Bear Creek December
17. Former was 65 years of
age, and was born in England.
A press report from Point
Barrow gives interesting de
tails of the manner in which
the Eskimos of that farthest
north settlement under the
United States flag celebrated
Christmas. With excellent trap
ping conditions and general
good health prevailing in the
community, the quaint, brown
people, observed the day in
much the same manner com
mon to the white races. There
were school and church pro
grams; gifts, generally whale
blubber, reindeer meat, frozen
fish, seal-skins and ivory, were
given although a few gave
home-made dresses or trousers.
Popcorn was the big treat of
the day. Some of the Eskimos
are said to have mushed 100
miles to attend the festivities,
of which a big native dance
was a feature. The temperat
ure during the day ranged
around zero.
