DOVALD METAK.
averted yesterday on the Northern
Pacific at the east trestle entrance to
Aberdeen, when the engine of the
Elraa beach train, due here at 8:25
o'clock, was derailed. The accident.
which occurred at 8:10, held up the
train until the wheels of the engine
could be replaced on the track, the
rails of which had spread, and delayed
outbound Seattle train 20 minutes.
No passengers were injured and no
equipment damaged by the accident.
One year if automobiles, street cars,
moving picture shows and modern
schools is enough for Donald Neuyak,
a youthful Eskimo hailing from King
Island, located B0 miles in Bering
Strait from the Alaskan coast.
Donald arrived in Portland last
week from the Chemawa Indian school
in Oregon after spending a year in
that institution. He has gone to Se
attle and is ready 'to embark on the
first vessel that will take him tg
Nome. A year in an up-to-date en
vironment with 1 11 modern conven
iences, into which he was shifted from
the bleak and stormy barrens of King
Island, had not captured the fancy of
Donald. It's back to Nome and King
Island for hira, judging from his in
terest in the next sailing to the north.
"My father," says Donald, "is a
reindeer man. He has nearly 200
reindeer, and for many years I helped
hinv until now I have 30 deer of my
own. I had 60 before I left for the
Chemawa school last year, but I will
only have half when I get back be
cause I must pay for having them
taken care of."
Donald is 21 years old. At Che
mawa he learned shoemaking, tailor
ing, farming, horseshoeing and har
ness making? Donald, however,
doesn't think much of the last two
studies, insomuch as his country has
dogs and reindeer instead of horses.
One of Donald's classmates at
Chemawa was Anna, a pretty Eskimo
girl of 19 years, whom Donald had
known previously in Nome, where
both attended a Christian mission
when children. Anna, it seems, left
Chemawa for Nome last June.
