SIBERIAN AGENT
RECEIVES MAIL
FOUR YEARS OLD
SOVIET GOVERNMENT ORDERLY
AND FAIR BUT STRICT—NO
FIGHTING GOING ON
HUNTER PLANS RETURNING
Fur Trapping and Trading Main In
dustry—Little Gold Activities.
Without attempting to cast reflec
tion on the Siberian mail service Geo*
Hunter, agent for the Olaf Swenson j
Co., of Seattle, who passed through |
Seward last week, en route to the
home office following a sojourn in
Anidar, Northern Siberia, of four
years, stated that just before he left
his trading post he received a bunch
of letters -which had been mailed to
him in 1921. This did not mean
to say that it was the first mail he
had received, but on the other hand,
the mail service was more or less ir
regular. Occasionally he obtained a
home paper.
Fur trapping and trading is the
main industry though there has been
some gold mining activity, but only
in a very small way. It was Mr.
Hunter’s opinion though that the
gold industry will, in the near fu
ture, play quite a prominent part in
the development of that region. The
Russian government has a monopoly
on all furs but the Olaf Swenson
company is the purchasing agent for
the Kamchatka district, under spec
ial contract with the Soviet govern
ment, now in control.
The government is orderly, but ex
tremely strict in all its dealings,
which are fair in every respect.
There has been no trouble in the
Anidar region with the exception of
two years ago w’hen the Whites and
! the Reds, hostile forces, mixed things
up a bit.
Mr. Hunter expects to return to
Anidar next spring to continue rep
resenting the company. This depends
entirely though on the existing con
ditions there. He was the only Am
erican residing permanently in the
entire region since 1923 and natural
ly, became quit# well acquainted with
the Russians, wTho as a whole, are
really splendid people and fine
friends. At various times Americans,
Englishmen and citizens of other
countries would visit the district for
a short time, and thinking they have
the entire situation sized up cor
rectly, make statements of a depre
datory character upon returning to
their several points of destination.
