Strange Natives in
Kuskokwim Country
i
Xl'SIIAC \K. May 21 \ party re
1ly arrived here after completing
a journey of exploration into the tun
Ira country ot ilit* Yukon and Kusko
vwim They loft last December and
traveled with dugs around tin- (-oust
to lU thel They bring stories of a
strange tribe of natives occupying the,
vast tundra plain visited. This sec- '
lion h<'tween the Kuskokwim ami the
\ ukoii lies partly in the bird reserve.
In places it is very densely popu
lated \v.tn a low class of natives. Ac
cording to reports there are from 1.50**
to i.tSMi of these people. Tllev live
during a large part of each year in
underground huts and manage to get
along without lire There is no wood
of any kind. Their foal, a large part
of the year <s black tish They also
gather goose egs by the kyak loads
and everv village has j bird drive In
July. The young birds are in the pin
feather stage at that time ami live
oi tin- tundra ponds and lakes All
the natives participate and drive the
geese and ducks iulo one corner of
the lake where they kill them with
clubs It is reported that as many as
tlurtv kyak loads have been killed in
one day. Mefore eatili| them the iia
tives prefer to let lh-> birds decay
somewhat. In gathering eggs they
usually prefer those that are about
r?adv to hatch. This has a bad ef
fect because the^old birds are sure'
not lay again when the nests are
robbed so late in the season.
The policing of the bird reserve is
aid to be impossible. Xo white man
can eudure the summer conditions of
the tundra floating cannot be done
owi.ig to the long portages from one.
lake to another am) overland is prac
tically impossible on account of the
marshes which are prevalent. A white
man cannot exist on uncooked food
ami without a tire In the wintur time
it is possible to travel with dogs by
carry ing a coal oil stove, but of course j
at ibis season there are no birds to
protect.
The natives of Toglak have boon vio*
'a n iIn* law in relation to walrus.
I .a -1 year they killed twenty odd on
ilagmeister island. The natives of
Kgooshik killed nine. The natives of
Cood News bay and Kalookuk also
killed some. They have hunts in
which all the natives of a village par
to .pate. They have been selling the
tusks to traders for fifty cents each
ttisk. and that is all the animals have
t <. n hunted for. A large number of,
i ? adless bodies have been reported i
ty a man who was wrecked on Hag- j
meister island. The bodies were not j
dhcrwise mutilated, not even the
skins being removed.
I.;.ice quantities of ivory are taken
out acti year from liristol Hay on
the cannery ships. It is peddled to
the employees during the summer by j
the traders and is taken out in the1
baggage. Many prime skins are sent
nut the same wav and it is quite prob
able thai opium is smuggled into the
I'liit' d States in this way. Cannery |
ships from North Alaska ports if giv
en a rigid inspection might produce
sensational results.
l.aru*- quantities of ptarmigan are!
caumd by some people. The North-1
??ru Commercial Company at Kolmo
Uoftsl-v puts them up in Carnation
milk cans, two breasts in each can. i
?The missions at Bethel and at Quia-1
hagak obtain largt numbers of geese i
ev r\ spring from the natives and put
them up for future use preserving in j
melted lard. They also obtain large
quantities of eggs which are preserved
in liuie water. The natives obtain
>s? of the birds and gather the eggs.
The r indeer stay pretty well back
ii the mountains. Brown bear are
common in all the country and every
where there is severe objection to his
protection. The brown bear is recog
nized as a dangerous animal and has
bet u know u to attack natives and
pr< spectors.

GREAT ENGINEER
HIGHLY PLEASED
?o-o?
Arthur P. Davis, chief engineer of
?lu lTnited States reclamation service,
is in Juneau, having arrived on the
A aim-?ia Saturday evening. .Mr. Da
vis lias been in the government ser
vice for thirty years and with the re
clamation service ever since it was
organized in 11)02. He was called here
to consult with the engineering de
partment of the Alaska-Uastineau
Mining company over the construc
tion of the .treat impounding dam a'
the upper basin of Salmon creek. Yes
terday Mr Davis was out to look over
the work that is now under way on the
great undertaking. "It will he a very
safe dam." said Mr. I lav is. "the foun
dation is adniirumle. It can be built
with a high degree of economy, and
it offers a remarkably fine opportunity
for developing power. It has a fall
of 1,170 feet in a very short distance
;iriu inert* win ue 11 ,uw avico vt ??u
lor impounded when the reservoir is
tilled. This will insure u constant de
livery of 6,000 horsepower of electri
cal energy, through the use of the two
power stations one of which is situ
ated on the beach and which will use
the water ov* r attain."
Compared with other large dams the
Salmon creek structure is not of great
magnitude. The Roosevelt dam which
Mr. Davis built is 300 feet high and of
masonry. The highest dam in the re
umation service is the Shoshone dam
in Wyoming :i-'8 feet. It is built of
concrete. The service is now build
ing a great dam on the Boise river
that is to he 350 feet high, of masonry;
another on the Rio Grande in New Mex
ico 300 feet high: another on the Car
sou river, Nevada, lit) feet high and
one in Nebraska 00 feet high.
This is Mr. Davis* first trip to Alas
ka. "This is a beautiful country,"
he said, "something like Western
Washington and Paget Sound." Mr.
Davis expects to remain here until
I the Mariposa arrives from the South,
which w ill be about one week. He will
go to the Westward and look over the
harbors of Cordova. Valdez and Sew
ard. in an unofficial capacity.

htm a question about the number of
some drills that were to be counted.'
His answer was mumbled and when
the blacksmith repeated the question.,
"Did you say 28 or 3S " Kehoe im
n.ediately stopped work and cnlled for
hts time. He was passed shortly after

ernment ownership of railroads under
any circumstance. He said that lie
favored immediate betterment of the
conditions in Alaska, and that lie re-!
gards railroads as a prime necessity
for the Territory, hut their construc

other way rather than by government j
?oust ruction and operation.

the bill, however, and endeavor to se
cure a vote on the measure at ati
