The moose and the bear roamed un-|
disturbed in the wilderness where now
stand the towms of Seward, Anchorage
and Cordova, and Nome was only a
small group of tents and driftwood log- j
cabins on the bleak coast of Bering
Sea, when Thorulf Lermann, urged!
by the daring, adventurous spirit of|
his Viking ancestors, pushed down the
lonely Yukon to the new Eldorado of
the North. Last Saturday Mr. Leh
mann sailed from Cordova on the
' — ■" 1 ■ — - -"
Alaska to the southland which he has
not seen for nineteen years. Only
once—in 1901—had he left Nome since
arriving there in April, 1899.
On the present trip he left Nome
on January 23, behind a team of Siber
ian dogs, driven by the well-known
musher, L. Seppala, and believed to
be the swiftest dog-team in the world/
Through the polar cold and dark
ness they pushed on, finally arriving
at Fairbanks on Friday evening, Feb
ruary 6, a distance of 800 miles in
14 days. At times they made as higtj
as 70 miles per day. The costly and
disastrous Times building fire occur
red while Mr. Lehmann was there pre
paring to continue his journey. He
left Seppla and the dogs, and started
out south bound over the government
stage trail. All went well until he
reached the McCallum road house,
where he was delayed six days on ac
count of the proprietor’s not having
horses ready. Finally reaching Chi
tina, he boarded the train which
brought him to Cordova.
Mr. Lehmann says the popular be
lief that Nome is a thing of the past
is not correct. “We sent out over a
quarter of a million in valuable furs.”
he said. “Many furs are shipped over
from Siberia, the costly sables, for
instance, which are not found in Amer
ica. Herring and salmon are abun
dant around our coast, and the rein
deer industry is going to be a very
big thing. Lomen and company now
own 16,000 or more head.
“It is not true that the Nome news
paper has stopped publication.. We
have a small sheet of daly telegraph
news and a larger one on Saturday.
The government is building two large
jetties, about 400 feet long, into Ber
ing Sea to serve as a breakwater and
permit the mosquito fleet to anchor
in the mouth of Snake river.”
We think coal is expensive enough
here in Cordova, but cheer up! At
Nome, says Mr. Lehmann, it costs $40
a ton at the docks. By the time it
arrives at the mines it cost $50 or
$60.
“I want to see an airplane”, re
marked Mr. Lehmann, “and that Smith
building I’ve heard abotif and it cer
tainly is fine to see a tree after you’ve
been without them for nineteen
years.”
