ON WAY OUTSIDE
D. E. Crowley, pioneer merchant
of Nome, arrived in Nenana last
night from his Seward peninsula
home, enroute to the States on a
combined business and pleasure trip
which will keep him Outside until
navigation opens. He left Nome
on December 10 and is making the
long trail trip with the famous
Fred Ayres racing team of nine
dogs, which has carried off the
honors in a number of Nome Der
bies, and which is entered in a big
track event scheduled to take place
in the spring. Mr. Crowley will
take the team to Talkeetna or Sew
ard, and Fred Ayres, the owner,
who is now in San Francisco, will
drive the dogs back to Nome.
Mr. Crowley says he had a good
trip up the river, finding the trails
in fairly good condition all the way,
with the exception of a short stretch
below Johnny Campbell’s, where he
encountered considerable soft snow.
In spite of this handicap, however,
he traveled 45 miles yesterday.
From Nome he followed the beach
much of the distance down the
coast to Unalaklik, thence across
country by way of the shortcut
trail to Kaltag, and then along the
Yukon river trail to Tanana. He
lost about two weeks enroute on
account of the sickness of several
of his dogs, and encountered some
very cold weather, which also de
layed him somewhat.
Nome is quite lively this winter,
Mr. Crowley says, in spite of the
fact that many oldtimers left fo(
the States last fall. There are about
500 people there at present, he esti
mates, and business conditions are
very good. There is very little
mining in progress, but quite a
number of men are spending the
w inter prospecting and a lively sum
mer is anticipated.
Trade between Nome and points
on the Siberian coast has been de
veloping steadily during the past
several summers, according to Mr.
Crowley, and now runs into big busi
ness annually. When conditions be
come more settled on the other side
of Bering sea, this trade will be
given a tremendous stimulus and
Nome will benefit accordingly.
The shortage uf salmon on the
lower Yukon, Mr. Crowley says, is
being felt keenly this winter by the
natives, and the Carlisle cannery is
held responsible for the condition
by nearly everyone The natives,
in many instances, have been forced
tb kill their dogs because of the
light salmon catch, and he says he
found it rather difficult to obtain
feed for his dogs. He paid from
20 to 25 cents a pound for all that
he purchased enroute.
Questioned regarding mining con
ditions along the river, Mr. Crowley
said that things seemed to be rather
quiet. He heard considerable talk
If
at Ruby of the Aitken quartz oper
ations in the Kuskokwim, but there
appeared to be little activity in the
camps along the river. *
Dog racing in the Nome country
was considerably upset by the war,
Mr. Crowley reports, and by the de
parture from Nome of a number of
the oldtime racing enthusiasts. But
there is promise of a revival and
the coming spring will witness an
event of considerable importance.
The race in question will be the
third of a series for the Boden cup,
which has already been won twice
by the Ayres team. If Ayres wins
this time, the cup will belong to
him.
There are three teams entered
for the event, the two besides Ayres
being Leonard Seppela and Billy
Webb. The race is a fast one. over
a 26-mile course.
Mr. Crowley passed the Scurvy
Kid enroute up the river, and says
that he should reach Nenana today.
Seppela is also coming up the river
later, to get a couple of passengers
who expect to reach the Interior
soon from the States. •
Politically, the Nome district has
not yet awakened to the realiza
tion that an important campaign is
approaching, but in view of the
fact that Nome always has been an
active participant in Territorial po
litical affairs, Mr. Crowley believes
there will be something doing on
the peninsula very soon, in the way
of organization. Dan Sutherland,
he says, stands very well among
Nomeites and should poll a large
[Vote in the Second division if he 'S
[given the Republican nomination for
delegate to Congress.
Mr. Crowley will go to the coast
ny way of Broad Pass, leaving Ne
nana for the end of steel on to
morrow’s train. He will try to
cover the distance between ends of
steel in four days, so as to catch
the steamship Alaska, scheduled to
leave Seward on February 6.
