TELLS BRISTOL BAY
( Continued from page 1)
“collecting at various points on the
Bay between $25,000 and $30,000 in
school taxes this year. These school
taxes together with the fish tax en
acted by the last legislature, will
make Bristol Bay the largest tax
producing section in Alaska. In re
turn for the money collected from
them the residents of this district
should have more schools, and needed
roads and trails. The mail service,
both winter and summer should be
better. At the present time the esrv
ice leaves the inhabitants without
mail the greater part of the year,
sadly harassing business. The weight
limit is but 200 pounds in winter, and
j from the last trip of the Starr in Au-j
: gust the people of this section do not
receive newspapers or periodicals un- j
til the following spring. The Stau
should be paid for one more trip in ;
the fall, and the wintetr mail service '
should be more frequent. An added 1
service could be extended in the sum- j
mer time by way of Kanatak, Egigik
river or by Iliamna.
The Federal officials are doing good i
work, and both W. W. Reed of Billing- j
ham and Commissioner Padden are
well liked. The jail at Dillingham has
14 inmates, mostly Mexicans and ne
groes. Chris Nielsen, U. S. commis
sioner at Koggiung, was a very busy
man, being badly handicapped by no
marshal being stationed there.
The governmetn should build a jail
and appoint a marshal at Koggiung,'
an important judicial point.
Schools Badly Needed
Half of the school buildings erected
by the government at many points,
are vacant. Egigik, Nushagak and
Koggiung are without schools and a ;
large number of children are growing
up without any education save what
is given them by their parents. One
of the finest school buildings in the
Territory is now nearing completion
at Naknek. Territorial schools are
needed in a number or ocner places,
and their needs should be looked into
by the Bureau of Education.
Frank Waskey is still prospecting
on Nushagak River, and has supplies
enough on the ground for two years’
work. Reports say he say received
considerable encouragement so far.
Many residents are looking for a good
strike in that section.
Joe Jean, of the Kuskokwim, an old
timer, recently drove several hun
dred head of reindeer from Good;
News Bay to Bristol Bay for purposes
of butchering and selling the meat to
the canneries.
New Buildings Erected
The Bureau of Education is erect
ing two or three more buildings at
Dillingham for use by the orphanage,
and fifty more children are being
brought from Bering Sea points to be
cared for in the government institu
tion. Dr. Drtina, who has been in
charge of the orphanage, has resign
ed, and is now on his way to the
States. His place has been ti en by
Dr. Frick of Centralia, Wash. Sev
eral new teachers have been added to
the staff. Mr. Magee, also of Wash
ington has been appointed superin
tendent of the Dillingham orphanage,
under W. T. Lopp.
Mr. Hall, who has been running the
store at Nushagak for Mittendorf, is
leaving this fall on one of the can
nery boats for the States. He is also
postmaster at Nushagak.
The fur catch is very large in this
section of the country, and has been
unusually good.
Kanatak Roads Progressing
“My return was made by way of
Kanatak, where I found the people
much wrought up over the Associated
Oil company having stopped drilling
for the present. The Standard Oil is
still drilling, and road work is pro
gressing rapidly from the town to the
oil wells by both the Alaska Road
Commission and the oil companies’
own crews, under direction of W. W.
French, a former Sewardite. It is
reported the Associated had drilled as
far as they could with their light rig.
Mr. Malotte, who has a big copper
property at Iliamna Bay, informed me
that the ores were very rich and that
other properties would be opened
soon. The mines have laid idle for
some time owing to high prices on
supplies and lowr prices for copper.
“I was gone two months, and dur
ing my entire trip covered about 4000
miles of territory. I experienced no
difficulty in collecting taxes, the can
neries assisting me in every way pos
sible. This is the only part of the
Territory I had never covered be
fore.”
