ARCTIC SUNRISE
(Continued from Page Two)
it’s gone,’ they cried regretfully,
staring at the spot where the yellow
rim had appeared to rest; hut only a
lightening of the gray clouds re
^ mained in evidence of the glad fact
that the polar night was over. It
was 38 below zero. Three months of
winter yet remained, but what mat
*’tered that? Their souls had thrilled
once again to ‘God’s smile,’ and hope,
joy and expectation mingled with the
regret on every youthful face.
“Training untutored minds is not
a teacher’s only duty in Alaska.
‘Teacher! There’s a man hurt in the
sawmill. They want you quick,’ pant
ed a youth one Sabbath day as he
reached the lone teacher’s cabin
high above and back of the camp.
The teacher stuffed her pockets with
bandages and antiseptics and ran
down the hill to the spot where a
soldier lay, the ligaments and arter
ies of one arm severed at the wrist,
the biceps muscle gouged out and a;
piece of dirty rope and a rusty file
fashioned into a tourniquet, holding
back the life blood with which every
thing was stained. Twenty minutes
later a long Yukon sled drawn by
seven powerful dogs and guided by
a haif-breed who knew the river and
its dangerous condition, carried the
* wounded man toward the nearest hos
pital—seventy-five miles away. A
white miner accompanied them. The
. ^ ■« . <• __ _x __
going was ruugu, me cunatc naici
on the ice of the river in some places
was two feet deep; the ice bent and
cracked, but. they never stopped un
til sixty miles were covered and a
relief sled from the army hospital
summoned by another soldier youth
who ran ten miles to tap a telegraph
wire, was met, and after twenty
hours of excrutiating agony the hos
* pital was reached.
“That was the last day of April.
Had the accident happened a few
days later nothing could have saved
the life of the injured man; the ice
would have gone, and the breaking
ice on the river was the only avail
able trail at that time of the year.
The half-breed was the best man who
dared to make the trip. His Indian
mother’s power of endurance and
« knowledge of local conditions, cou
pled with his white father’s intelli
gence and dominant spirit, gave him
a high degree of efficiency for such
an ordeal.
“Rendering medical aid is a part of
every teacher’s swrorn duty in the
Alaska school service. Government
supplies are often the only medicines
obtained in cases of grave emergency
for whites as well as natives.
“A knowledge of law doesn’t come
amiss at times. In places remote
from the jurisdiction of courts, the
teacher is frequently the only law
giver of the community, as wrell as
the only doctor. She is census taker,
keeper of vital statistics, arbitrator
of quarrels, health officer, peace of
ficer, friend and confidant of every
one in distress. The teaching of
sanitation, hygiene of a practical na
ture, economy, thrift, domestic sci
ence suitable to environment, manual
training calculated to utilize the
products of each particular locality
and civics, to fit the natives for
future citizenship, are all included in
the work of the service.
“Each section of the vast territory
presents a different problem; each is
rich in a different way; each must
be settled and self-sustaining in the
future.”
DEEPEST PRODUCING
OIL WEL IN TEXAS
AUSTIN. Tex., May 28 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The deepest produc
ing well in Texas is claimed for the
Arnold No. 1, recently brought in by
the Texas Company in Young county
• at 4,700 feet. The report on this
well, filed with the railroad commis
sion, said:
‘We invite your attention to the
log of Arnold No. 1, as we believe
this is the deepest producing well in
Texas, if not in the United States,
same being a producer at 4,700 feet.”
