NEWS NOTES FROM OUR
UNALAKLIK CORRESPONDENT
Our Unalakleet correspondent
sends the following interesting
items: “Dan Jones and John Heg
ness left here for Marshal on De
cember 14th going by way of St.
Michaels. They left Louis Erickson
and Murdo M’lvor here to attend to
the staking of the trail between here
and Bonanza”.
. • • *
“The double mail is now running
upon the star route between St.
Michaels and Gibbon and will start
from here for Nome about January
!lst.”
i ...
“One of the wolves, a large grey
one, that killed so many deer was
trapped by Ole Buhr a few days ago,
her mate was close by but moved too
fast for Ole’s second bullet to over
take.”
• • * •
“The trails are now good but
travel is slight.
. * . •
I “The ice claimed another victim.
W. Lawrence, who passed through
here for St. Michaels upon the first,
and who later left St. Michaels for
Nome, was caught in the ice around
Kilicktarik and that Is all that is
known of him. Six of. his dogs
with chewed tow line showed up.
Surmises are many but yours is as
good as mine. All that could be done
to learn or help was done.”
“A rumor reached here tonight
(December 21) that a partly eaten
arm was found close to Klictarick.
It is supposed to be the arm of Law
rence. His dogs may have lived
upon the unfound body. Lawrence
left St. Michaels December 6.”

“Much illness prevails here parti
cularly among the youngsters. Sev
eral people died during last Fall
and it is felt that one to two of the
lives could have been saved and
lots of suffering among the children
avoided if the Bureau of Education
would take a little time from deve
loping the reindeer industry and
spend it in building an hospital here,
putting it in charge of a trained
nurse. It is true that the Bureau
has a very able doctor at Nulato but
Nulato is but the center of his beat,
and the doctor is located one hund
red and thirty miles from here. The
doctor has no aeroplanes nor is he
trained as an aviator. If they
would quit bull conning about the
higher education and get down to
practical and necessary needs, it
would do a lot of good. The ma
terial for an hospital is here: includ
ing logs and medicines. Whoever
is ill must depend upon the school
teacher and his knowledge of medi
cino is admittedly small and in at
tending to the needs of the sick, he
cannot devote the proper time and
attention to his pupils. Mrs. Van
Ness who is not at all connected
with the Bureau of Education, de
votes all the time she can spare to
the people that are ill. The Bureau
may find the Eskimos decimated by
the time they are educated and the
reindeer waiting and ready for the
hands of capital”.
GEORGE IS SILENT ON
ENTENTE PEACE POLICY
- i
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—London
advices indicate that the George
government is maintaining an in
scrutable silence on its part in the
peace negotiations. Not an iota of
real information has leaked out
which would indicate whether or
not the Wilson note will be answer
ed in such a manner as to leave
open the door to successful nego
tiations.
