ROBINSON CRUSOE
OF ALASKA PAYS
s SEWARD A VISIT
FRED SCHILLER, ONE OF BEST
KNOWN CHEFS IN ALASKA
HERE ON VISIT.
IS IN THE STEAMER SERVICE
Resident of Fairbanks and Nenana
Past Two Years—Like to
Remain In Seward.
Fred Schriller, chef de lux, who
has catered to the wants of Alaskans
from the tip of the Panhandle dis
trict, to the fringes of the Arctic,
during the last twenty-five years, ar
rived in Seward last evening from
the Interior, where he has been em
ployed all summer in the service
of the Alaska Railroad river steamer
service, as head steward on the Gen
eral Jacobs. He will remain in Sew
ard until Monday, when he plans to
return to Fairbanks, where he and
Mrs. Schiller have made their home
for the past two years. While in
Seward, Mr. Schiller is a guest at
the Hotel Van Gilder.
Mr. Schiller said, after looking Se
ward over this morning, providing
he could obtain work here, they
would perhaps move to the coast,
but things were pretty fair Inside
and he is more or less reluctairt to
make a -move.
1 ne Interior weather has been .
ideal all summer and is still so, the
storms and recent rains in this dis
trict having not reached farther
North than around Cache Creek. Last
month a light snow fell in the Fair
banks regions, but since that time
not even a frost has fallen. The
rivers are still clear of slush ice,
and steamers could be operating yet
lor a considerable period, he be
lieved. Coming down the railroad,
the last two days, at Broad Pass, the
train ran hru a heavy snow sorm.
The first frost was struck at Curry
(Dead Horse). Rain began falling
yesterday at noon at Anchorage, and
continued so 'all 'the way over the
mountains, extending to the coast.
In comparison to the Fairbanks dis
tric, where a heavy rain falls in Sew
ard and along thecoast, in the In
terior a good drizzle is considered
a heavy rainfall, Mr. Schiller remark
de. v
The oldtimer and his wife will be
recalled perhaps, by many Alaskans,
as being adorned with the title of
the Mr. and Mrs. Robinson Crusoe of
Alaska, due to their three years res
idence on a fox ranch on Middleton
Island. Mail reached them but once
a year on the island, outflung far
out in the Pacific Ocean, off the Al
askan coast, and the only human be
ings they saw during their isolation
' were those aboard the revenue cut
I ters which occasionally dropped an
chor in good weather off the rug- J
ged and dangerous shore line, the
island having no harbor of any kind.
The river traffic was exceptionally
good the past season, Mr. Schiller
said last evening, many tourists tak
ing the opportunity of voyaging on
the second largest naavigable river
in the U. S. All spoke highly of the
inland trip and enjoyed the many
unusual sights which constantly un
raveled before their eyes. The old
mining and fishing camps, and town
scattered down the river, was the
source of much interest to the trav
elers.
me present trip 10 oewara is air.
Schiller's second but his first over
the railroad, between Anchorage and
the coast. All summer, while en
gaged on the river steamer, lie heard
the travelers praising the remarkable
scenery on this division, so having
the opportunity to make the journey
to Seward, decided to come. Mrs.
Schiller is remaining in Fairbanks.
From what he could glimpse thru
the rain, the scenics appealed to him
likewise, but darkness settled about
the time the train started to cross
over the first hump, so he feels as
though he missed the best part of
the trip. However, he will take it
all in upon his return Monday.
J. L. Graef sold one his Ford cars
the other day to a rancher out the
road. - '
