j A FOX FARMER WRITES A
LETTER
Wants to Know if He Can’t Have
Mail
Uncle Sam, we are asking for just
ice. It is our duty to explain why
tilings aren’t right, and Uncle Sam
knows we are talking the truth; he
will act and say: “Those boys are
going to have just what belongs to
them.”
We are your tenants ai^d have no
one else to talk to. We are not
Kicking on the rent we are paying,
and the license we have to pay is
wonderfully cheap. We are thir
teen ranchers on fox islands, who
have been lighting for seven years
to make a go. We are all on our
feet producing $15,000. a year. The
desert that grew nothing before
looks like a park. There is life all
over. Every one has a nice garden,
blue foxes, silver foxes, mink, mar
ten, goats and cows. Good many
larauies wun cniiaren, out i win
say that it is rather hard for fami
lies row since they took the mail
route away from us.
We had the Monte Carlo mail run
once a month for a year. We had
a chance to send mail and receive
mail once a month, it took us two
months to answer a letter, but the
mail boat always came, and we de
pended on it. As it is now today,
if a boat breaks down or a boat is
lost, or a man should be sick, who
could run the boat? Then they are j
condemned to die.
Hoping some of the government
employees will read this letter, he
will say that these boys are asking
for justice and are going to have ,
it. One letter to us is worth more I
than a hundred pounds of catalogs
and advertisements.
Ketchikan and Juneau are asked
to print this piece.
FROM A FOX FARMER
Advertise in THE ALASKAN.
It is reported locally that the big
sawmill at Wrangell is soon to go
in commission again and operate od
a full time schedule. This not only i
helps the Stickeen city, but indirect- j
ly it is an aid to all of this section j
of territory. It’s good news. I
|
Down at Hyder recently they had |
a blaze that ran up a loss of close j
to $7000. The fire was in the ware- ;
house of Spaulding and Talbot where j
there was a large quantity of oils
and compounds, fuse, caps and
dynamite. The explosive burnt
without disturbance.
Harold Iutok, wife and three chil
dren are on their way home from
New York where they advertised
the Christmas holiday with a team
of reindeer. The family is from
Kotzebue Sound country. They are
Eskimos. Iutok said that New York
is a place where people are killed
pretty quick if they don’t stay in
side the hotels.
The motorship Bellingham came
into port Monday forenoon and load
ed on 500 bbls. frozen herring at
the cold storage wharf for Ketchi
kan.
On Saturday, the 4th, the Alaska
Native Sisterhood had a social, dance
and a spread at the Pioneers’ Hall
that was well attended. The “eats ’
were certainly beyond the average |
for dance parties and there was
more than enough for the merry
makers and their neighbors.
Eric Larson, Seymour Canal fox
farmer, was in town for a brie?
visit recently, and looked a3 pros
perous as ever. He was Juneau
bound to buy a new gas boat. This
one, so sayeth Eric, is a speed de
mon with a Hall-Scott motor and
\
hikes along at—; well he doesn’t
know just how fast it will go, but
something under 60.
