THOMAS HNS
FROM FAR NORTH
ON MANUAL TRIP
Rev. William A. Thomas, Episco
pal missionary, who is making the
rounds of Interior Alaska missions
this • winter in place of Archdeacon
Hudson Stuck, arrived in Xenana
yesterday from the lower river and
will remain here until Friday, when
he will go on to Fairbanks by train,
and thence across country back to
the Yukon. Mr. Thomas will con
duct the Easter services at St. Mat
thew’s church, Fairbanks, on Sun
day.
The start on the long winter
journey was made from Fort Yu- i
kon, with the dog team used by the j
archdeacon on numerous previous
winter excursions. The places vis- j
ited included Circle, Stephen’s Vil- j
lage, and the Koyukuk, into which
district the missionary traveled by
way of Beaver, the northern trip !
ending at St. John’s-in-the-Wilder
ness, on the Allakaket. It was the
intention of Mr. Thomas to con-1
tinue on to the Kobuk, but be
cause of the absence of travel in
that direction and the difficulty of
breaking trail through the wilder
ness, the trip was abandoned and
Mr. Thomas returned to the Yukon
after a visit of two weeks at the
distant mission.
Mr. Thomas followed the regular
river trail back to Tanana, fol
lowed the Yukon up to Rampart,
and then crossed over to the Hot
Springs district, following the mail
trail from there to Dunbar's, where
he caught the train yesterday for
Xenana.
Upon his return to the Yukon
i from Fairbanks, Mr. Thomas will
| visit Christian village.
In addition to visiting the vari
I ous districts as missionary, Mr.
j Thoma also represented the census

Mr. Thomas states that during
the months of January and Febru
ary. which were consumed on the
trip from Beaver to the Koyukuk,
and out to Tanana, only one sled
party was met on the trail. It was
a proposition of breaking trail ev
erywhere one went, and the snow
fall was very heavy. There seemed
to be an absence of game of any
kind everywhere except at Caro,
and that vicinity on the Chandlar.
All along the part of the Koyukuk
visited the natives were having a
very hard pull to exist. At the i
mouth of the South Fork they were |
subsisting for the most part on I
muskrats, which also was the only |
kind of fur being caught. At the j
Allakaket, the natives were hunting j
as far as 75 miles out, and were j
seeing no game, nor game tracks, j
Only thirty half-starved dogs re- ‘
mained at the Allakaket village,
and this was only a fourth of the
usual number deemed necessarv for
'
the needs of the population. The i
situation at one time during the!
^winter was so desperate that the j
(mission was giving out food to each i
family in distress. One white trap- .
iper with a familv was met on the'
1 ;
trail, and he said that the only'
thing he could get was a few ptar
migan each day. The failure of
the fish run is attributed to the
presence of the cannery at the
mouth of the Yukon, seems to be
the unanimous opinion of everyone,
as there never was a time previous
to last summer when the catch of
[salmon was so utterly disappointing.
