KETCHIKAN RECEIVES VISIT
FROM FIRST SOVIET SHIP
Bound from Anadir, Siberia, to
Seattle, the power schooner Alaska,
of Petropavlovsk, arrived at Ketch
ikan recently, marking the first ent
ry at that port of any vessel under
Bolshevik register The craft, says
the Ketchikan Chronicle, was under
the command of Captain Charles
F. Weekman. He formerly owned
the schooner, but last spring took
her to Anadir where, under permit
from the United -States Shipping
board, he sold to Alexander Khar
leff who, with his brother, owns
the largest trading outfit in North
ern Siberia. The schooner was then
placed under soviet register and an
old imperial Russian flag hoisted, in
the absence of a Bolshevig flag.
“There is no doubt about the
Bolsheviki being in power for good”
said Captain Weekman to a repre
sentative of the Chronicle. “The
people with whom we came in con
tact were so tired of the old rule
that they were glad of any change,
and in the far north conditions are
running along smoothly. There is
good order and the laws seem to
be generally observed.
“Anadir is a small town in
Northern Siberia, having about 300
population, made up mostly of trad
ers, fishermen and a few prospect
ors. Men on the Alaska report it
to be a thrifty little place, with no
want in evidence. The natives work
ing out of there in their trapping
to the North and Interior were all
doing well.
“It is a remarkable thing how
hospitable the people of that sec
tion are, and an American especially
is welcomed with open arms. They
realize that there will ultimately be
a great deal of trade with the
United States and they are anxious
to maintain friendly relations. They
watch everything American and the
news of America with much interest.
They care not about Germany or
England or France or any other
nation, but there is nothing per
taining to the affairs of the United
States that does not interest them.”
Anadir is so far removed from the
rest of Siberia and Russia that the
men on the schooner could not learn
of conditions except in that little
settlement, and did not attempt to
say what they were at the time of
their departure for the South.
During the trading along the
Siberian coast the schooner stopped
at the small town of Kolima, which
is a settlement of only a feew Rus
sian traders and a number of natives
There they found one of the most
ideal fishing spots in the world, ac
cording to their report. There is a
TRAPPERS ARE URGED TO
WAIT FOR BETTER PRICES
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 25—The Inter
national Fur Exchange has issued
a circular in which trappers through
out the world are urged to stop
trapping as a means of checking
the rapidly declining market for
raw pelts and the rapidly diminish
ing supply. The circular points out
that the supply will be doubled if
they are at the present t\ne.
It is claimed that one of the
chief causes of the present low
prices is a strike among the employ
es in the manufacturing branch of
the industry.
great lagoon leading up to the
mouth of a large river which was
thick with millions of red salmon.
The river was reported to be navi
gable for a thousand miles or more,
so far, in fact, that no native there
knew its extent.
Once affairs become settled in
Russia, with some government in
control that the United States will;
feel safe in recognizing, and com
merce resumed in normal channels,
Captain Weekman expects to see
a great new business for America.
Nome, he predicts, will become . a
center for trading with Siberia, but
the bulk of the business will go
either to Seattle or some more south
ern port that is prepared to take
care of it.
The Alaska was enroute to Seat
tle to have a semi-Diessel engine i
installed and will return to Siberia
next season. Captain Weekman will
not take the boat back, however, j
as his contract with the owners ex- j
pires upon his arrival at Seattle.
