BREEZY NEWS LETTER FROM
UNALAKLiK CORRESPONDENT
I
UNALAKLEET, Jan. 15.— (By
Mail). Walter Johnson of the
Bureau of Education arrived here
last night and left this forenoon
for Nulato. He will return in time
to make the necessary arrangements
for the reindeer fair at Sliaktolik
on February 7. He left St. Michaels
upon his semi-annual trip to the
.Kuskokwim reindeer herds, visiting
Bethel, Akiak, Hooper Bay, Good
News and other reindeer centers,
returning to St. Michaels by way
of Mountain Village and the Yukon.
* * *
The miners on the Kuskokwim
are steadily working and a fair
output of gold is anticipated.
Fred Willis and Victor Jacobsen
(the Scurvy Kid) returned from St
Michaels on their way to Kuby on
January 7.
A rumor has reached here that
a good new strike was made on
Disappointment creek in the Marshal
district.
* • *« *
The coldest report from the
Yukon during the cold spell was 86
degress below zero, one of the cold
est of records.
• • • •
Natives reported that Marshal Jor
dan took a native prisoner from
Egovik, a village fourteen miles to
the west. It is not generally known
what he was arrested for.
■ • • •
Mr. Johnson referring to an ar
ticle in the Worker said that he
was in favor of an hospital in
Unalakleet and also in all large na
tive centers. Lack of the necessary
funds was the cause of their ab
sence.

A new strike of considerable di
mensions is reported from the
mountains back of Good News bay.
It seems that for several years a
small party was mining there but
kept the news to themselves. This
year the news leaked out but there
was no stampede.
Mr. Johnson reports a food
shortage possible among the coast
natives owing to the high tides
making the marshy lands brackish
and driving the game towards the
higher lands for new feeding
grounds.
* * *
Heavy winds all around the com
pass with high tides have made the
the trail all but impassable. Heavy
snow fall followed by rain- upon the
Portage and the Yukon have made
the Portage a slush pond. The re
sult was that the outside and St.
Michaels mail arrived a day late.
But F. Buson, one of the Nome car
riers thinks that he will be able to
make up the lost time and Nome
will not have to wait for its regular
mail.
■ • » »
A wave of emotionalism, working
around Unalakleet during the holi
days and directed by the Mission
resulted in an intense spiritual out
pouring. Many of the congregation
cdnfessed their sins (no devious
cases will be tried) and professed a
belief that they were saved. Men
and women, old and young seemed
to be imbued with the same spirit.

NEWS REPORTS pshrdl shrill shril
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Cabled
dispatches from Petrograd via Lon
don and wirelesses from Berlin in
dicate that the Russians with power
ful counters have compelled the Bul
gars to withdraw in Dobrudja. Both
accounts are lacking in important
details.
BERLIN, Jan. 24.—German
gains are reported along the Sereth.
The Russians are battling with
determination along the entire Ru
manian front.
BERLIN, Jan. 24.—The Germans
initiated determined fighting in the
Riga region hurling a powerful of
fensive against the unexpectant Rus
sians. The latter were taken en
tirely by surprise and compelled to
retire but they failed to escape be
fore fifteen hundred were bagged
by the Germans. The Germans
are making a determined effort to
capture Riga this offensive and are
well prepared.
LONDON, Jan. 24.—Because
Great Britain needs all the shells
that can be turned out, the govern
ment compelled Hadfields, Limited,
to surrender their contract to make
shells for the American navy. It is
understood here that American mu
nition contractors were able to bring
pressure to bear upon the British
government to prohibit Hadfields
from fulfilling the United States gov
ernment contract. This, of course,
would he easy as the threat to re
ject all Entente contracts would be
quite sufficient upon the part of the
American munitionists to secure the
support of the British in this mat
ter.
