BRISTOL BAY NOTES
(By Special Correspondent)
Miss Alice von Scheele, the pop
ular territorial teacher at Clark s
Point, Nushagak River, and Charley
Wamser, of Nushagak, were married
at Christmas time and have the con
gratulations and best wishes of
everyone.
Rev. T. V. Calkins made a trip
to Nushagak the middle of December
to perform a marriage ceremony
which is the first travelling he has
done since coming from Seattle on
the “Boxer.”
John Johnson was the first “mush
er” to come in from Naknek, mak
ing the trip in three days. He in
tends to try the experiment of cros
sing the “German police” dogs with
the Alaska malamute.
The run of smelt up the Nushagak
river last fall, was the lightest for
many years. Some claim this is
a fore runner of a light run of sal
mon this season.
The Alaska Territorial Road Com
mission has been erecting cabins on
the trail between Good News Bay
and Kanatak, which will be a boon
to tired “mushers.”
Numerous radio sets have been
installed all over Bristol Baj, but the
results so far, are far from being sat
isfactory.
Theodore Looff, the popular U. S.
Fish Commissioner, has been doing
some important investigation on

Snake River Lake this winter. Ted
lad his new bride come from Seat
tle last summer and sihe has been
juite an addition to the society
circles of Kanakanak.
The new Industrial building just
completed at the Kanakanak Orphan
age, is the most beautiful and art
istic structure ever erected in Bris
tol Bay. This is a colossal sized
institution now for Alaska with
five large buildings and several
smaller ones.
Red Fox are so numerous on the
Nushagak River that they are being
shot around the canneries, and phen
Dminal catches are being made. The
local traders are paying as high as
twenty-three dollars, wrhich is consid
ered a fancy price. Andrew Nelson
is high man up to the present date,
having caught and disposed of $500
worth of furs in three weeks.
With the exception of two weeks of
freezing weather, the winter so far
has been very mild. Oldtimers like
H. P. Nicholson, wTho have lived here
for forty years, say that the winters
are much milder than when they came
here.
Much complaint has been made
about the way the new fur law has
been enforced at this place. American
citizens have been refused licenses to
go trapping as they had not gained
a residence in Alaska while aliens
have been permitted to go, being prom
ised protection. Perhaps the worst
criticism, was the case where meas
ures were framed to permit an alien
Japanese, to buy furs, being a direct
violation of Section C, Subdivision H.
of the new Alaska Game Law, passed
by act of Congress, January 13, 1925.
MRS. L. V. RAY HOME AGAIN
Among the Seward residents who
returned home Sunday from the States
on the S.S. Victoria were Mrs. L. V.
Ray, wife of Mayor Ray, and son, Lee.
Mrs. Ray had been Outside for the
past six months, and though she left
her daughter, Patricia, behind attend
ing school, she is delighted to be back
home once again.
