BRISTOL BAY NEWS
Feb. 27, 1926.
(By Special Correspondent)
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Trowbridge de
parted from the U. S. Government
Orphanage last week, for Togiak.
where they will commence teaching
and do settlement work with the na
tives. Mrs. Trowbridge completed the
I Domestic Science course in the Idaho
State University and should prove a
valuable asset to the natives of that
region, who subsist on dried fish, seal
oil and tough hot cakes fried in a ket
tle of seal oil.
From the 20th of December until
! the 20th of February, Bristol Bay ex
j perienced the mildest mid-winter ever
I known, there being only two days that
i mercury reached zero and most of the
! time, it barely reached the freezing
| point, and at no time has there been
as much as four inches of snow. But
I for the past week, the thermometer
i has been registering from zero to 25
I degrees below and there is still hopes
of snow enough to make a trail.
Beecharoff Lake, which is on the
Dillingham-Kanatak mail route has
been wide open all winter, with no ice
on the beach and Mail Carrier Harris
j had a tough time dragging around the
j lake his February trip, the ground be
, ing barren of snow. He was eight
j days making seventy miles, and had no
feed for his dogs the last two days.
Mr. Theodore Looff, U. S. Fish Com
missioner for Bristol Bay district, to
gether with his wife, left Dillingham,
March 1, for Naknek, to be ready for
the spring work where the Bureau
of Fisheries now have a ways of their
own with a number of patrol boats.
The Bureau of Fisheries expect in a
] short time to have a large steamship
j to bring all their crews and supplies
to Alaska, including the stations on
Pribilof Islands where the seal herds
are looked after.
Kid Williams mushed from Good
| News Bay last week and is spending
a vacation at Dillingham and especial
j ly enjoying the dances which are be
ing given at the new Government
building at the Orphanage. Mr. Wil
kins has operated the “Water Moose”
mine near Good News Bay from which
a quarter million dollars worth of gold
has been taken, the past eight years.
It is only a question of a few' years
when Reindeer will be roaming all
over the foothills of Bristol Bay, vir
tually back in the caribou wild state,
as numerous small bunches are con
tinually breaking away from the main
herds, and scattering in every direc
tion. The writer of this, saw on a
trip this month, about 20 Reindeer
fully 50 miles from any herd, that
stood looking at the dog team, until
within a few' hundred j’ards, when
they started on a run for the foot
hills.
Dillingham has a resident, who has
been an applicant for both of the post
offices on the Nushagak River, is now
trying to get a job with the Alaska
Game Commission and is a standing
candidate for U. S. Commissioner of
the Bristol Bay precinct. What he
does not know about the duties of
these various jobs would fill one of
■ Libby’s large warehouses full of vol
umes, but what he thinks he knows,
would fill several of them.
Word comes from San Francisco,
that the Alaska Packers Association
are buying large steamships, and will
abandon using the sailing ships, also
that they will not operate all their
large canneries in Bristol Bay, owing
to the limitation of gear. As all the
other cannery companies have smaller
canneries, they will operate all can
neries, but perhaps not run to full
capacity.

YARD OF PIPE
REMOVED FROM
CHICAGO WOMAN
FREAK AUTO ACCIDENT OCCURS;
PIPE NAILS WOMAN TO
REAR CAR
CHICAGO, Mar. 22 Mrs. Made
line Slaick, 24 years old, organist,
is near death as the result of the most
peculiar street car accident in the his
tory of Chicago. Surgeons at the Am
erican Hospital removed from her bo
dy a 33 inch section of one inch pipe.
Mrs. Slaick, with her husband, was
riding in a street car late last night
when the front wheels of the car ran
over a piece of pipe two yards long,
throwing it through the flooring of
the car.The pipe struck Slaick, knock
ing him down, and then shot through
I his wife’s left leg Just below her hip
and out through her right side, imbe
dding itself in the woodwork of the
car and holding Mrs. Slaick fast.
Fireman were called and released her
after three quarters of an hour, by
cutting the large piece of pipe away
from the woodwork with an acetlyene
torch. Mrs. Slaick was then taken to
the American Hospital, wrhere Dr.
Max Thorek and his assistant, Dr.
Frederick Grunech, performed what
they called the most difficult opera
tion in their experience. The piece of
pipe which was left in the woman’s
leg protruded on both sides.lt requir
ed 30 minutes to extract it. She
lost strength when pinned to the
street car, and Dr. Thorek said that
considering the seriouness of her in
jury it is remarkable that she lived
at all.
Vetern railroad men said that such
accidents were not infrequent during
the early days of railroading. At that
time the tracks were mere wooden
stringers with scrap iron nailed to
the top of the wooden rails. The scrap
iron frequently became loosened and
curled up through the bottoms of cars
endangering trainmen and passengers
These curling pieces of iron were call
ed “rail snakes” by trainmen.

mail them out Saturday. Easter ar
rives April 4, just time enough to
