ARCTIC TRADE j
IS EXPE ED
Dr. James II. Condif. superintendent
of Presbyterian missions in Alaska,
has just returned from an extensive
itinerary which took him the length
of the Yukon river and north to a
point one degree south of Point Bar- j
row. He returned by way of Seattle, j
where he had the privilege of hearing
President Wilson speak at the Arena,
and traveled about 9,000 miles in his
summer journey.
He reports that the interior country
is very quiet just now, because of con
ditions imposed by the war. Prices
on supplies and labor are so high that
most of the ground will not bear the
cost of production. The owners have
therefore suspended operations until
| conditions are again normal. The fa.il
j ure of the railroad appropriation was
I a severe blow to Nenana and Anchor-1
age. However, those who remain in j
the country are expecting and plan
j ning for the return of prosperity when
! the railroad work is resumed and ;
prices are lower.
I At Nome Dr. Condit met Ijr. John j
• A. Marquis. secretary of tin* hoard of
I home missions of tin1 Presbvtrrion
; church, who came from New York to j
'make investigations regarding the i
establishment of a hospital at Point
Harrow. From Nome north the jour
ney was made on the United States |
! revenue cutter Hear. For the second!
time in succession the Hear was un- ;
able to reach Harrow because ot ice \
conditions. This year the Arctic ice
pack was as far south as i he Toth de
gree on August id, and on this date.;
after cruising back and forth for eight
days in a vain search for a passage .
Captain Fheroth reluctantly gave or-I
ders to sail southward. Not since
early in thr* last century had the ice!
been so far south on this date. Dur-j
ing the entire time that tin* Hear was!
in the ice the wind and current were!
strongly from the north, whereas they,
should he strongly in tile other direr-‘
tiou at that time of year. Thousands
of walrus were observed which had
floated south with the ice
Supplies Unloaded
The supplies which ihe B--ar had
lor HaiTow and other northward j
points were unloaded at Point Hope.
The condition for the teachers and
missionaries is not as assuring as it
might be. Coal can he had at Wain
wrighl. one hundred miles from Bar
low. There is also a fair chance that
either the Herman or the Bender
brothers, both of which w, re in lb
ice on their way north when the Bear
turned back will eventually make
their way through. Arrangements
were made at Point Hope to have the
medicines sent through, together with
a few other urgent necessities, by
dog team, leaving about the first, of
November.
Many Eskimo villages were visited
and much valauable information gath
ered relative to missionary needs. One
of the results of the trip was the de
cision to reopen the Presbyterian mis
sion at St. Lawrence island. It is
likely that other Presbyterian mis
sions will be established among the
Eskimos as the result of this visit.
There are some 7,000 of these people,
and no native race is more deserving
of kindly consideration. Amid hard
conditions of life they are cheerful,
brave, self-reliant and self-supporting.
Intelligent and ambitious, they re
spond most encouragingly to educa
tional and religious effort. The influ
enza made terrible inroads upon these
people to a point between Prince of
Wales and Point Hope, where quaran
tine was successfully established and
maintained. At Nome 192 natives
were uurieu in one grave.
Prince of Wales 122 were interred at
one time. In Bristol bay one-half of
the adult population died. In other
communities the proportion held. The
fatalities were almost entirely among
adults. As a result a large number '
of orphans have been left to the care
of the public. Various institutions
have come to the relief of the orphans.
At Nome the Methodist mission has
some seventy-five children. The Lu
therans, at Teller, are caring for <
thirty or more, and the Catholics, at
a recently purchased property near
Nome, have some twenty or more. In
Bristol bay the packers cared for the
orphans of that district until the bu
reau of education could erect the two
1
and one-hal story orphanage recently !
sent in.
The Reindeer Industry
,
Dr. Condit said: “I was much im
pressed with the rapid growth of the
i
reindeer industry. Several ten-loads^
*
if frozen reindeer meat were shipped 4
m the Victoria, billed to Minneapo
is. There are now in the neighbor
lood of 160,000 domestic deer in
\laska, f.O per cent of which is held
>y natives. Lomen Bros., who are as
sociated with Jafet Lindeborg, own
ibout 10 per cent. The increase is
ibout 50 per cent annually, as the
lords double every two years. As
here are unlimited areas on tin1 A re
de slopes adapted to reindeer grazing, j
i requires no prophet to foresee what
this new meat supply means to the
United States and to the world. Dr.
Sheldon Jackson, who introduced the
reindeer into Alaska, and who was so
maligned and abused by penny politi
cians, deserves the gratitude of every
Alaskan for his wise provision, not
only for native needs, but also for
whites.” I
A very large trade in Siberian fur
has characterized the year at Nome.
A number of schooners have carried
on this coastwise trade during the
year, and have been very successful.
It seems that this business will be j
greatly increased next year.
Nome is counting much on the har
bor improvements now under way.
The mouth of the Snake river is being
dredged out to admit the entrance of
small vessels and lighters, and a har
bor is to be also dredged at the mouth
of Dry creek. Revetment work along
the river and especially constructed
jetty extension into the sea will, it is
hoped, overcome ice attacks in the
spring. If so, one of Nome’s great
hindrances and problems of the past
will be solved. Nome is not the city
of the past, but. is still hopeful, and
with cause. With its fur trade, rein
deer industry and mines of tin and
silver and gold, it may well be opti
mistic as to the future. Juneau Em
