Horse racing has never caught
on to amount to anything in Al
aska, probably because horses are
scarce and what there are of
them are not raciifg models.
Down in the 24 states where it
is legal, the racing of horses and
pari-mutuel betting on the out
come thereof has grown into a
very sizeable business. The turn
over at the betting windows last
year was more than a billion and
a half dollars, and the 24 state
governments derived nearly a
hundred million dollars in reven
ues from the ponies.
Tax-hungry Congressmen arc
now eyeing the race tracks and
are proposing an excise tax on
the sale of pari-mutuel tickets, a
withholding tax on winnings and
even a $150 head tax on each of
the 22,554 participating nags.
This seems a fair enough pro
posal, especially in view of the
excise taxes on transportation and
telegrams and a great many kinds
of merchandise that are not al
ways luxury items.
But when the Congressmen start
scouting around for that sort of
revenue they are apt to look fur
ther than the race tracks and one
of these fine spring mornings Al
askans may wake up to find an
excise tax on the sale o£ tickets
for their own Ice Pool.
Frank Barr of the Fourth Div
ision is believed to have set a rec
ord for brevity of service as a Un
ited States Marshal in Alaska—
and among the thiry-odd Marshals
who have held office, there have
been some short termers.
Alaska's first U. S. Marshal, M.
C. Hillyer, served for just over a
jear, back in 1884 and 1885. And
the first Marshal for the Second
Division, Cornelius L. Vawter,
held -the office for only nine
months. Down in the First Div
ision, Dan A. Sutherland was
Marshal for ten months back in
1905' and" 1OT3.
Barr has now pushed the rec
ord down to something like three
months. What interests us at the
moment, however, is what becomes
of Barr's term as a Territorial
Senator. He presumably resigned
when he was named Marshal, but
does he now unresign and again
become the Senator from the
Fourth Division?
The question is of no great mo
ment, of course, unless a special
session of the Legislature should
be called, since the term ends with
the opening of the next regular
session.
The lower Yukon village of An
vik, after having had only two
postmasters during its first 51
years as a postoffice, is now get
ting its second postmaster within
three years.
Anvik, which is described as
having one of the prettiest sites
along the lower. Yukon, is one
the older settlements of that re
gion. It was "discovered” by white
men in 1834 when Baron von
Wrangell, governor of Russian
America, sent an expedition head
ed by Andrei Glazanof to explore
eastward from Norton Sound.
The Russians established their
mai i Yukon River trading post
crowd. A dance at the F.O.E. Hall
climaxed the festivities. Gordon
Blanchard won the $50 door prize.
Mrs. Frances Ford of Silver
Springs, Maryland, is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. John Hvisdock.

daughter Jeannine and Mrs. Car
der's mother, Mrs. Mary Nedina of

Miss Agnes Powers gave a tea at
her home Sunday afternoon, July 8,

Driebus of Milwaukee, who is visit

No. 7 of the American Legion, Skag

Earle Cocke, Jr.
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Riewe and

STOPPING HERE
ENROUTE KETCHIKAN

Juneau a few days enroute to Ket

Fisher is a townsite planner with
the Bureau of Land Management
and will be in Ketchikan about a
week on business for his agency.
at Nulato, a couple of hundred
miles upriver from Anvik which
became one of the regular stop
ping places for the traders.
Anvik got a trading post of its
own soon after the American oc
cupation. John Parrott and Com
pany of San Francisco, which
soon afterward became a part of
the Alaska Commercial Company,
built a little river steamer and
sent it north on the deck of the
brig Commodore.
Launched at St. Michael, she
was named the Yukon and became
the first of a number of vessels
that have carried the name on
the big river. In charge of Captain
Benjamin Hall and with Michael
Lebarge as chief trader, she
steamed upriver in July of 1869,
stopping two or three times a day
to take on wood.
Lebarge, who had been with the
Western Union Telegraph Expedi
tion in earlier years and was al
ready familiar with much of the
iTukon country, established trad
ng posts at Anvik, Nulato and
Fort Adams, near the mouth of
the Tanana, and took over the
Hudson's Bay post at Fort Yukon.
The next big event at Anvik
was in 1887 when the Episcopal
Church established Christ Church
Mission there. This was the first
Episcopal mission in Alaska if you
distiggiusU. between the . Episcopal
Church and the Church of Eng
land which had carried on mission
work at Fort Yukon while Russia
still owned Alaska.
The Rev. Octavius Parker and
he Rev. John W. Chapman arriv
ed at Anvik on July 27, 1887, to
begin the work. Mr. Parker re
signed a couple of years later, but
Mr. Chapman stayed—for some
thing more than 40 years.
When the Yukon River, became
one of the main highways to the
Klondike, a postoffice was opened
at Anvik on June 12, 1897, and Mr.
Chapman was named postmaster.
He combined the duties of the of
fice with his missionary work for
13 years, until 1930, then turned
both over. to his son, the Rev.
Henry H. Chapman.
The younger Mr. Chapman con
tinued the work at Anvik until the
summer of 1948 when he moved to
Sitka as rector of St. Peter’s by
the Sea. His place at Anvik, in
both the mission and the postof
fice, was filled by the Rev. Ben
jamin Franklin Peterson.
And now, so soon, Anvik is to
have aother postmaster, its fourth.
Delegate Bartlett has recommen
ded that it be Miss Mary E. Row
ley.
Two Juveniles
