THE FAR NORTH
Another Interesting Letter
From Rev. Patton
On board the Reliance, Mon
day, Oct. G, 1913, near Hot
Springs, Alaska, 80 miles up the
Tnnana river. -Dr. II. 0. Brown,
wife, friends and brethren of
St. Johns, Oregon:
We are now about 200 miles
from Fairbanks. When we think
of the distance already traveled,
the few miles between us and our
destination seem small. Yet we
are farther from Fairbanks thar
wo were when at Circle on In jl
Wednesday. By trail wo could
have then reached Fairbanks by
traveling overland 1G0 miles.
We have now traveled on our
fifth steamboat, being transfer
red three times in the river by
lashing the boats together. The
rivers are getting very low bo
causo of cold weather in the
mountains. The Tanana is a
swift stream and really too shal
low for easy navigation at this
time of year. Wo have been al
most 28 hours going less than
80 miles. Not infrequently does
tho vessel strike a sandbar and
has to twist about before getting
loose. The boat is pushing n
barge with probably 150 tons of
freight. There are more pas
sengers than regular accom
modations, so a lot of the men
sleep on standees in the freight
room. This is the last vessel up
tho Tnnana to Fairbanks this
fall.
The Tanana volley is indeed
a beautiful plain, covered with n
growth of underbrush among tho
spruce and other timber. Wo
passed Hot Springs at 7 a. in.
Hero tho river flows only a short
distance from the hills and
mountains to tho north. Tho
snow now comes close down to
tho vftlUty. "The atmosphere hero
Is not quito freezing. Tho sky
is hazy and a few scattering
(lakes of snow nro Hitting about
the boat.
This isn small steamboat com
pared, with tho others wo had
been on. Sho had been used on
tho Bmaller rivers until just re
cently. Sho made n number of
trips up tho Koyukuk during tho
summer. They carried in all, to
the minors in those parts, about
500 tons of freight and pro
visions. Sixty tons of tho 500
wero rum. I really believe that
would bo a very good proportion
to all parts. Not far from one
half the cargo on this trip is
rum. Even tho drinkers them
selves say it would be a great
blessing to Alaska if tho country
could be free of the awful curse.
It is now almost ten a. m. ; will
lay this asido for today.
7 p. m. Tho crow is now tak
ing on wood. The wood camp here
is run by an old pioneer by tho
name of Davis. Ho also has a
fish wheel for catching salmon
and white fish; but the most in
teresting of all tho possessions
of this hormit-liko man is his fox
ranch. He has a correll inclosed
by wire netting set deep in tho
irround. Hero he has artificial
caves for burrows in which these
little creatures sneak away when
straneers approach, They also
rear their vounir in these dens.
Ho markets tho foxes when
crown at about $900 each.
At about 4 p. m. we passed the
mouth of the Kantishna river,
where it flows into this stream,
the Tanana. The Kantishna is
seldom placed on maps, yet it is
navigable for steamboats more
than 1G0 mile3. One of tho pas
sengera told us some of his ex-
neriences where he spent a win
ter seven years ago 265 miles up
the Kantishna prospecting. As
we see these rivers and learn of
the vast territory which they
drain, more and more we get
some trrasn of the vast territory
of Alaska. We have now been
steaming un the Tanana for
nearly 39 hours, and are almost
exactly half way from the mouth
of the river to Fairbanks, hence
we should at this rate reach Fair
banks at least by noon Wednes
day. The lights were turned on
this evening at 4 Mo. mey an
say the days will shorten very
rapidly from now on. About 4

quite hard since dark, and the in the midst of some unusual
atmosphere is much warmer than
this morn ng.
Oct. 7. 7 o. m. Supper is now
over. We, indeed, had a great
spread: Mashed potatoes, sliced
tomatoes, baked heart, roast beef,
baked graling, noodles, pudding,
and many other things too nu
merous to mention. Today has
been mostly clear und the air
sharp and invigorating. During
a greater part of the day n high
range of mountains loomed to
the southeast. They seemed to
be made up of almost solid snow.
ihey appeared to be about the
same distance from us as Alt.
Hood from Portnnd, but upon in-
a mm . it
quiry i found that tney were
more than 200 miles distant.
We iust left Ncnana. a quaint
looking Indian village of several
hundred inhabitants in and about
he village. We spent ono and
one-half hours there while the
crew took on wood. Tho stores
urry numerous curios and much
first class merchandise. Rev.
Mr. Betticher of the Episcopal
church is missionury to tiiese
Indians. He got on the boat to
go to Fairbanks. Ho will either
return over the ice when it cov
ers tho river or by row bont, U
time will permit.
Wild game becomes more
plentiful ns we ascend the river.
Ptarmigans, grouse and rabbits
at times seem to be playing hide
and seek. They tell me that
these aro not tho real jack rab-
its. They are poasibly not as
arge as thu jack, and not as
active.
Wo are now about sixty miles
from Fairbanks. This would be
only a little over four hours run
on good water, but swift as the
current is and shallow as the
water is in places, wo will do
well to got through by three
o'clock tomorrow Wednesday.
9 a. m.. Wednesday. October 8.
Tho vessel made good progress
during tho entire night. The
sun rose brightly this morning
at a few minutes past six o'clock.
The night being clear the pilot
did not have to use the search
light but little in order to see
the river channel. J had a long
talk with Rev. Betticher of
Nenuna. Ho has been nine years
n Alaska, and is really in. love
with tho country. I was re
marking to him regarding tho
apparent undone health of the
Indians which we meet on the
shore from time to time. Ho
says that tho strong, healthful
Indians are mostly out in the
woods, either hunting or build
inir littlo cabins--caches- for
storing meats and provisions for
winter. Wo see a great many
of the caches along the river.
Thoy tell mo that theso caches
are built throughout tho hunting
region to protect provisions from
dogs and wild animals. They
build them by either placing
poles, trunks of small trees as
piling, about eight feet long, or
selecting trees close together
and cutting them down high up;
thon building a small cabin, as
it wore, on stilts. Theso caches
are often built up in the moun
tains where meats can be Kent
without of necessity bringing
an entire carcass to camp at
once. An Indion village enjoys
tho result of tho hunt at all times.
If an Indian kills a moose, the
meat is common property for
the villacre. and all enjoy a feast
or famine, according to luck of
the hunter.

take the vessel loaded to fair-
banks. We have passed a num-.
ber of fish wheels this morning.
The fishermen sell dried dog sal
mon at from 8 to 10 cents per
nound. These fish are used en
tirely for dog feed. One can see
tons of them hanging on frames
to be smoked and dried.

A happy group of Methodists
were at the denot to welcome us
I had telegraphed our coming
while at Fort Gibbon at the
mouth of the Tanana river. The
parsonage having been rented
for sometime past, we went
directly to the reception or read

Our trunks, etc., all came
through nicely. We wero great
ly surprised to find that tho
articles were in no way injured,
with the exception that the sew
ing machine was affected by the
salt atmosphere. Not a trunk
wus injured. Some of our ar
ticles that we had feared were
left in St. Johns showed up in
the packages.

Everett had slightly ripped tho
outer sole loose on one of his
shoes; the cobbler charged 50
cents for the few stitches to re
pair it, Tho cobbler has been
here for two years. His family
is in Seattle. He says he is
growing lonesome, and is now
getting ready to return home.
His one regret is that ho is to
leave Fairbanks: says he can
easily send home $100 per month,
pay his rent, live handsomely
and keep a good bunk nccount. I
really did not doubt his word, as
I saw probably two (toys' work
piled up in front of him.

out back of the base ball park

f any of your friends grow dis

do a first class job at tho follow

starched shirts 50c. collars 10c,
and all elso accordingly. How-
over, the treasurer placed $50 in
my hand to tide ub over until
tho first Sunday's service. Take
prices, however, in other lines,
and they compare very favorably
with Portland. Carnation milk
is $-1.75 a crute: selling at this
price would make it less than

Beech entered school the next
morning after our arrival. Tho
school extends through four years
of high school work. Hooks aro
furnished; equipment in every
way up to date. Fairbanks is u
good littlo city now. Tho gener
al opinion is that its future is
doubtful. Tho placer mines are
not eaual to a few years ago.
Quartz mining is as yet in the
experimental stage, bnould it
bo that the government would
build u railroad lino from the
coast to Fairbanks, wo would at
once be on a permanent basis.
Tho river-boats carried passen
gers and freight 500 miles above
Fairbanks on tho Tanana this
summer. Thus you can at once
see we are very centrally located
in this magnificent valley.
Dr. Parson has done a great
work in Fairbanks. Ho has
truly been a man of God in a
wicked city. God has used him
to form and establish the charac
ters of some strong men in this
place. We are now truly anxious
to know where he is placed in
his former field of labor.

Interesting Notes for the
Library Patrons
The St Johns branch library
will open its new building on
Kellogg and Charleston streets
on Saturday, November tho 22nd.
There will be stories told in the
afternoon for the children and
in the evening the adults will be
invited to inspect the now build
ing and to listen to a brief in
formal program. No books will
be exchanged on that day but
the following Monday the library
will be ready for regular busi
ness. It is the intention to keep
the library open In its present
qunrters, if possible, up to the
very day of the opening of the
new building.
The new books:
Beach Iron Trail.
Of course you remember Kip
ling's "If" about the man who
could keep his head in any
emergency. Well, here he is,
the hero, as Rex Beach has
drawn him in his now Alaskan
story. There were plenty of
things to stand up against, too
other men's scheming. lack of
funds, storm glaciers and mis
representation. But lie won his
light against nature, ub he won
the heart of an unusual heroine.
The scene of their wild wooing
on the bridge threatened by the
flood is more dramatic than any
thing tho author has ever writ
ten.
Tho above review is that of
tho publishers, written to soli
tho book, hut tho lovers of Rex
Beach's former stories will
doubtless Bharo its enthusiastic
pruiso of this latest one.

Nothing Alarming
Editor Review: In wandering
around your town the other night,
I noticed a red light on tho top
floor of tho Central Hotel, at tho
side of the building. What is
it there for? As t was the only
red liirht I noticed in a building
in St. Johns, I urn a little curious
about it. Answer in the Re
view, and oblige, A Visitor.
Noth nir duncerous or appro
hensive about this red light.
It is there for u purpose in no
wise sinister. In order that
fears, suspicions and surmises of
the "visitor" and others may
be allayed, it might bo well to
state that the light is placed
there as a "guiding star" to
the cruests so that they may
locate the fire escape without
and difficulty in case of fire. It
is located at tho tiro escape,
that is all.

HIGH SCHOOL
Items of Interest Regard
ing School Doings1
The Freshman class have in
vited the upper classmen to tho
first annual meeting of the
"Tramps," Saturday, November
15th. The unique invitations
have excited the curiosity of the
students.
Miss Ethel Coupe, a former
student of the Jumes John High,
visited the school Monday after
noon. The entertainment Friduy eve
ning was well attended by par
ents and patrons of the school;
After a short program in the au
ditorium, the visitors were shown
over the building in groups, each
of which wns leu by two or more
student guides. The laboratory
was the center of interest up
stairs: the experiments perform
ed to show the work or somo of
tho students, were watched very
attentively by our guests. The
sewing room was also of inter
est, especially to tho mothers.
They wero interested in the dis
play of stitchery exhibited, and
in the equipment for practical
work. They were then taken
downstairs into the gymnasium
where tho grown up boys made
fruitless uttcmpts at climbing
ropes nnd performing thoir stunts
of their youthful days. After
journeying thru tho long halls,
nnd up and down numerous flights
of stairs the guests wero glad
that the next stop wns at thu
cooking room nnd horo both
mothers und fathers agreed was
the moat satisfactory department
of all. They showed their ap
proval of the delicious cocoa and
wafers by many appreciative
words. Many promised to como
again, which is just what the
teachers and students greatly
desire that thoy should do.
