SUNDAY NIGHT
Owing- to the early departure oi
Rev. James H. Condit, D. D., the
general missionary of the Presby
terian church in Alaska, it was
found necessary for the Presbyterv
of the Yukon to go into session
and take up the regular routine
of Presbyteria! work before the
date scheduled for the meeting
there being but a quorum of mem
bers present. Doctor Condit must
leave on the Tanana in order tc
connect with the Seattle 3 at Tan
ana, enroute to the mouth of the
river; thence he goes to Point Bar
row, to visit the most northerly
church on the continent. It is the
intention of the church to initiate
a movement which will adequate!}
provide for hospital service for the
flourishing population centerine
around Point Barrow, a populatio
almost entirely Esquimaux. The
two Esquimaux churches at Barrow
are twelve miles apart and have
two hundred and seventy-four mem
bers and fifty-four members, re
spectively.
Rev. Wallace S. Marple, pastoi
of the Presbyterian church of Fair
banks, will remain in Nenana fn;

work is finished, the guest of the

QLDTMER BACK
FROM OVERSEAS
LIKES NENANA
Alex Nicol, an oldtimer of the
Interior country, who came North
in ’98, is just back from Europe,
where he spent two years with the
Eleventh Canadian Railway troops,
most of the time within sound and
much of the time within range of
the German guns. He left Ruby
in the spring of 1917, with several
other oldtimers of that camp, and
joined the Canadian forces at Van
cover early in the summer of that
year. He was not exactly within
the age limit, but^managed to
[squeeze into the army somehow' and
[stuck with it until the finish, being
; close to death on many occasions,
j but finally emerging without a
I scratch.
■ When the big drive started on
I the Somme, in March, 1918, which
'ended abruptly last November witn
■ the collapse of the German fighting
(machine, Nicol was attached to what
■was known as a demolition squad,
[composed of about twenty miners
! from all parts of the world, several
of them being Californians. The
!work of the miners consisted of
destroying depots and works left
I behind by the Germans and it fre
jquently happened that the men were
under fire. One of Nicol’s com
' panions was blow-n to pieces by a
• big German shell which struck the
i ground almost at his feet.
] When the fighting stopped, Nicol
: returned to Vancouver for demobil
ization and was provided with trans
Iportation back to Ruby. But he
jdid not go to Ruby. The reports
| of railroad activities at Nenana
jcaused him to change his plans and
he is so favorably impressed with
the outlook here that he will re
main. This is the first time that
he has seen the town and he says
he is glad he came.
Only one Northerner was en
countered on the other side of the
Atlantic. He wras a sourdough of
the White river country. But there
are plenty of Alaskans in Seattle,
Nicol says, and a number of them
are planning to return North this
summer.
T.nnic Snitv formerlv
banks and more recently of Ruby,
now has a big soft drink place and
restaurant in Seattle, and is doing
a good business. Up to the time
of the late shipyard strike, Spitz
had not prospered, but during the
labor trouble he made himself popu
lar with the strikers and many of
them now make the Spitz place
their headquarters. When the men
quit work, Spitz invited them to
move into his establishment with
their blankets, which many of them
did, making their beds on the floor
and doing their own cooking on the
restaurant range, a la Alaska.
Harry Edwards, another well
known oldtimer of the North, is
now connected with the office of
the game warden, with headquarters
at Walla Walla. Alex Capewell has
a restaurant on First avenue and
seems to be doing well.
Joe Nee was met at Dawson,
where he is conducting the Bonanza
hotel. Nicol says he looks and acts
just like he always has. ,
Nicol heard some good reports
from the Teslin river strike, but
says the people of the upper river
appeared to be little interested and
not at all enthused over the out
look for the district. At the time
Nicol passed through Whitehorse,
the sum of $500 had been collected
in recording fees, the greater part
of it having been taken in when
the news of the strike first came
out.
He also heard considerable about
the reported discovery of pay on
Betties river when he ‘reached
Xanana. He talked with A. J.
Wempe, who claims to have visited
the scene of the strike, and who
vouches for the genuineness of the
find. He has about $150 in gold
which he showed Nicol. It is sup
posed to have been taken out by
a man named Kelley, an oldtimer
of that district, who is credited
with the discovery of the Betties
paystreak. Nicol says the story
of the find caused considerable ex

icitement among some of the tourists
jwho were at Tanana when he was
j there, but the oldtimers of the
j lower river are waiting for addi
tional information.
There had been no new develop
ments in the poisoning cases at the
time Nicol reached Dawson, and
! there seemed still to be a difference
| of opinion as to the cause of the
deaths. Dr. Thompson told Nicol j
(that he believed the sickness was I
; caused by diseased meat, but others
were not so sure.
United States Marshal Erwin in-!
formed Nicol on the way down river
. that he had made a thorough in
quiry at Dawson and had found
that some of those who were taken
ill had not eaten meat with the
others. The marshal visited the
hospital, conferred with the doctors
who attended the victims and made
other inquiries.
Nicol returned North with a num
ber of members of the famous Boylj
contingent and reports that they
were given a royal reception at !
Dawson, great preparations having |
been made for the welcome of the
oldtimers, who were among the first
to offer their services and to get
into the fighting.
J. A. Slippern returned to Ne
nana yesterday, after an absence of
several days in the upper town.
