Mr and Mrs Allen,teachers at St.
Micliaels.sf ent a few dais with us
thisf.ill.lt was indeed a very j;rent
treat to ns. In compliance with a
reqnest of Snpt. Johnson Mr.Allen
and my self investigated the reindeer
moss conditions along North River
for a distance of some thirty miles.
The mountains on both sides of the
river are carpeted with the finest
reindeer moss we have ever seen,
Quantities sufficient for thousands
of deer for years to come. Bear tracks
were so numerous that we called our
first camp“Catnp Searmn. ’’
The poem to the memory of James
Wlutcomb Riley was a clipping sent
us by Mr. A.N. Evans Following is
u comment by Mr. Evans which we
take the liberty to nse, for in it is
couched a truth both beautiful and
fitting. “Anyone of a thousand men
in this t ountry could be President,
and there arc numbers of Kings but
only one Rilev,and he well deserves
all the homage that can be given a
man who has.added so much kindli
ness and re d affectio » to the world.
Riley was a bachelor and nearly
seventy years of age. All the affec
tion he would have given his family
is in his poetry.”
Supt. W. H. Johnson after spending
some weeks out *ide has returned
to his work bringing with him his
brother who will travel with him over
the Kuskokwim region.
For this trip they are equipped
with a small power lxxit which they
will use in ascending the Kuskokwim
to the portage which they will cross
and then come down the Yukon to
St. Michael. A trip that means lots of
experience and SOME WORK CA?
