Akiak, Alaska, : via Holy Cross. : January Tth, 1922. My dear Home Folk: You'll wonder why the “via”’—Of all the bungles that Washington makes, some of these mail routes up in this snow country are the worst! Take this place for instance—a mail once a month with that same mail two or three months old. From the dia- gram (not given in this article) you see the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. There is a weekly mail in from Anch- orage to McGrath and Flat which is carried down the Kuskokwim river to Aniak, but there that mail carrier stops and all the lower river, or rath- er sixty to eighty miles, has no mail service; then you reach a town direct- ly opposite Holy Cross on the Yukon so a carrier is brought down the Yu- kon having carried mail thousands of miles out of the way, sent across the portage to the Kusko and at last gives this-months-old mail to us and goes on to Bethel; when, if the route from Aniak to Akiak were joined, one would get mail in a little over three weeks. It is a strange idea, especial- ly in a country where one has no daily paper, no wireless news, no railroads, no telephones, and depends entirely on magazines and weekly papers for knowledge of the world and its do- ings. But you won’t want my “kicks,” so I'll try to tell you of my last trip and then of this hospital that I have promised to look after until spring, at least. In the January mail I had a letter from Winifred, dated October 80th, in which she said she had not heard from me since I left Seattle. I can scarcely understand why cards and letters sent from St. Michael did not reach her but perhaps by this time she will have received one or two of the various things I have sent her. We got off from Flat on one of those perfect days we sometimes have in the winter at home—clear, crispy cold and dry. There had been a big dance two nights before (Saturday) $1.50 sam and I had taken a long sleep and pack- ed my few things on Sunday so that on Monday I was quite rested and ready to move on. The man who was to take me was a government super- intendent from the Fort Gibbon dis- trict and had a good dog-team of sev- en short-legged Malumites, (?) a very good sled with only a little baggage and, as I was also traveling light, we were not too much for the team that, having come nearly four hundred miles, was hardened and fairly well trained. We left before the sun had gotten above the horizon and a beautiful band of color outlined the tops of the white mountains. The dogs had been tied up for a week and were very anx- ious to get off. I anticipated a nice time but reckoned without the wind. There had been some snow fall the day before and, as we left the dead camp of Flat, drifts were everywhere, all of the trail was obliterated and I thought of “Brothers” little book which told of the naughty little winds that piled the soft, beautiful snow where it was not needed and, in this case, made heavy going for those will- ing puppies. I wanted to crawl out but Mr. Mozee would not allow me to move and I was casting around in my mind, wondering what to do, when a second team came in sight behind me and I saw a young Russian boy with nine dogs coming towards us. To go back a littlee—These North-country folks have almost exaggerated ideas of honor and this young man, a month before had unwittingly failed to carry out a plan, made without his knowl- edge and that he was unable to follow through; and whereby I was put to some inconvenience. In return he of- fered his team as a trail-breaker for our first day’s run and, as dogs always travel better behind a team and over a broken road, you may see how we appreciated his appearance. He had no load so pulled past us very shortly and, as I like to be on the first sled, asked him to take me along. He stop- ped and I was soon sitting on the canvas he had folded up on the bot- tom but, unfortunately, forgot to take a robe with me, Off we went, through drifts and up hills; for a little time the road wound along Flat creek which has yielded much gold in the past few years but lies deserted today, covered with ridges of small stones left by the Guggenheimer dredge with, here and there, small holes or a pile of dirt where some one else had been hoping to find gold. It is all so deserted and bare looking! The log cabins are said to be old here in ten years, as I can readily believe from their appearance. |. The low temperature warps and twists them out of plumb. One night a sound like a gun going off startled me and I asked “What is that?” Ruth laughed and said, “It is Jack Frost cracking the earth with his chill em- brace” and it heaves up under the floor until no floor can remain level. The creek trail finally turned up over a hill where the drifts made our: dogs look as though hurdling logs, but they were fresh and it took only a short time to get over that divide and dip down into another valley where two young Frenchmen have found “something good.” As is usual in this country, we stopped at their cabin and they insisted on lunch—even a small glass of wine—saying they did not have visitors often. As the Russian and I were a long distance ahead, we tarried, perhaps an hour; Mr. Mozee, then Ruth Reat and Mr. Golden join- ing us by the time lunch was ready. After this we, as trail-breakers, were off first through that white world. Again the little scrub timber and roll- ing topography and “up hill and down dale” quite aptly expressed our going. And then came the “trappers para- dise” winding along creeks, across lit- tle lakes, through willows and small bushes, every tiniest twig loaded with hoar frost until it looked like candied sugar and the “wild things” must love it for crossing and recrossing were trails I had not before seen and which my guide did not recognize nor seem interested in. He would only say, “Are zou cold?” and “We are soon at the trapper’s cabin.” I was getting cold but did not like to acknowlzdge it and the dogs were running as though smelling something so I knew it would not be long, when suddenly we turned sharply to the left and a tiny cabin came into view. The host came out and his first greeting was, “Madame, your cheek is frozen.” I grabbed some snow and began rub- bing but he said “Go into the cabin where you will find mentholatum.” It was only a superficial burn and was quite fine after covered with oil. This cabin was about twelve feet wide by fifteen feet long, a dirt-floor, one small window, the roof perhaps twelve foot to the ridge pole. Across the en- tire end was a bunk about five feet wide; in one corner, a tiny stove and two cracker boxes nailed up for cup- boards. Another box, a well soiled log and a wood pile constituted the sitting accommodations of this pala- tial (?) home. The dogs were chain- ed up around the cabin and, by this time, the remainder of the party had arrived. I was wondering where we would all be put when up came anoth- er sled from the opposite direction with one man riding and one “on the handle bars” and then Mr. Prue’s (the cabin’s resident) partner arrived and we were nine. Supper of ptarmi- gan, peas, bread, butter and coffee was served to us sitting along the bunk like birds, each holding his own plate and using any one of the usual utensils in our hands. But it was all done and accepted so good naturedly that we surely enjoyed it since the thermometer outside registered 35 degrees below zero. When we went to bed, three lay at one end, Ruth and I at the other end of the bunk while four were on the floor. The thirty dogs chained outside made life—shall I say “hid- eous?” perhaps so, if one stayed awake but the drive of thirty-five miles through the crisp air made us all sleep like logs. Breakfast was served as had been the evening meal and then we all were off. Ruth and her escort back to Flat with the Rus- sian and the newcomers while Mr. M., with me as a passenger, started on the trip South. I must stop for this time as there are other letters to write and the monthly mail will leave in three days. There is alot of work here now—in- ventories, sickness, etc., but I will fin- ish telling you of my trip and the hos- pital in the February mail. There is a wireless station at Holy Cross where you can reach me, the message com- ing over by mail in three days. Tell Dr. Kirk he would enjoy this life im- mensely if he does not mind being cold occasionally. ELOISE. Our Sanitary Delinquencies. W. C. Welliver, sanitary inspector of the engineering division of the State Department of Health, spent several days of this week on an in- spection tour of the town and found many justly-complained-of nuisances, mostly unsanitary privies, piggeries and manure heaps. The attention of the Board of Health was called to these delinquen- cies and it is to be hoped that an ear- ly abatement may be the result. The question of permitting piggeries in the borough is a serious one as the filthy condition of most of them is not only an annoyance to the neigh- borhood but a menace as well. If the Board of Health in any community does not function proper': it is the province of the State Health Depart- ment to dismiss it, clean up objec- tionable places and oblige borough council to pay expenses but it is a dis- tasteful proceedure for the Health Department and one that it is loath to execute. Our borough board of health is composed of the following members: John Blanchard, presi- dent; John Curtin, secretary; Dr. Dale, James Furst, Dr. Melvin Locke, and Elmer Yerger, health officer. The best job work can be had at the “Watchman” office. Two Deaths in One Family. Mrs. Catherine Auman, widow of the late John S. Auman, passed away at the home of her son, E. H. Auman, at Pine Grove Mills, at eleven o’clock on Monday morning, following an illness which dated back several years. She was a daughter of David and Margaret Ulrich and was born at Millheim on February 25th, 1848, making her age 74 years and 9 days. She was married in 1868 to J. S.'Au- man and practically all their married life was spent in the vicinity of Mill- heim. Mr. Auman passed away in 1910 but surviving her are two chil- dren, Mrs. Al. Bradford, and E. H. Auman, of Pine Grove Mills. She al- so leaves the following brothers:and sisters: George Ulrich, in Michigan; David, in South Dakota; Mrs. Jacob Catherman, of Dungarvin, and Mrs. Sarah Orndorf, of Millheim. She was a life-long member of the Methodist church and Rev. J. S. Ham- mac had charge of the funeral serv- ices which were held at the E. H. Au- man home at 10 o’clock on Wednesday morning, after which the remains were taken to Millheim where burial was made in the Millheim cemetery at two o’clock the same afternoon. Following close upon the death of the elder Mrs. Auman, Mrs. Emma L. Auman, wife of E. H. Auman passed away at 4:30 o’clock on Tuesday after- noon after only a few hours’ illness with double pneumonia. She was suf- fering with a slight cold and ‘was around as usual, making preparations for the funeral of her mother-in-law. She even ate a hearty dinner on Tuesday and later lay down for a brief rest. Very shortly thereafter she ex- perienced great difficulty in breathing and two physicians were summoned but notwithstanding their heroic en- deavors to save her life she passed away at 4:30 o’clock. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Stover and was born near Harrisburg on April 6th, 1871, hence was not quite fifty-one years old. On March 6th, 1890, she married E. H. Auman, of Millheim, where they lived for some years, finally moving to Pine Grove Mills. In addition to her hus- band she is survived by four children: John S. Auman, of Centre Hall; Mrs. D. M. Stover and Mrs. P. J. Smith, of State College, and Ellis, at home. She also leaves one sister and two broth- ers, namely: Mrs. Luther Emerick, of Centre Hall; Marshall Stover, in Michigan, and Adam, of Aarcnsburg. She was a member of the Lutheran church and her old pastor, Rev. A. M. Lutton, of Ohio, will have charge of the funeral services which will be held at 1:30 o'clock this (Friday) after- noon, burial to be made in the new cemetery at Pine Grove Mills. : It is only on rare occasions when such a double bereavement afflicts one family and Mr. Auman and children have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends. Il i WALKER.—Mrs. Gertrude Edna Walker, wife of Chester A. Walker, of Bigler, Clearfield county, passed away in the Clearfield hospital on Saturday night. She had been suffering with a complication of diseases for some weeks which finally affected her heart and last week she was taken to the hospital in the hope that relief might be obtained, but it proved a vain hope and she passed away at the time above stated. Mrs. Walker was a daughter of Jerome A. and Margaret Elizabeth Confer and was born at Yarnell, Cen- tre county, on May 20th, 1885, hence was 36 years, 9 months and 13 days. old. Her early life was spent on the home farm until her marriage in 1908 to Chester A. Walker when they lo- cated in Virginia, where Mr. Walker was engaged in the lumbering busi- ness. After a few years spent there they sold out and returned to Centre county, later locating at Bigler, where Mr. Walker has a prosperous lumber business. Mrs. Walker was a member of the United Brethren church: since early girlhood and was not only a good, christian woman but possessed a most pleasing personality and lov- able character that won her many warm friends who sincerely mourn her untimely death. In addition to her husband she is survived by three children, Elizabeth, Ray and Marjorie. She was one of a family of thirteen children seven of whom, with her aged father, survive, as follows: Mrs. Rachael Butler, of Elmira, N. Y.; Mrs. Mary Heaton, of Milesburg; R.

Sparks, of the United Brethren church, after which burial was made in the Advent cemetery. 1l Il SMITH.—Mrs. Sarah W. Smith, widow of the late William H. Smith, of New Millport, Clearfield county, and a sister of the late John Q. Miles, of Julian, died at the home of her son, Prof. A. J. Smith, at Wilkinsburg, on Wednesday of last week, aged 84 years, 10 months and 26 days. Mrs. Smith was born at New Millport and spent her entire life there until four years ago when she went to make her home with her son.

Fauble, of Bellefonte. Mrs. ‘Houseman suffered an attack of the grip along about the Holidays but re- covered therefrom and during Janu- ary came to Bellefonte with her two children and spent a few days with her mother. When taken ill several weeks ago it was at first thought her ailment was a recurrence of the grip but it soon became evident that her condition was extremely serious and notwithstanding the utmost vigilance on the part of her physicians her life could not be saved. Mrs. Houseman was the youngest child of Martin and Lena Loeb Fau- ble and was born in Bellefonte about thirty-six years ago. Her prelimi- nary education was received in the Bellefonte public schools.

Following her gradua- tion at that institution she went to Europe with her sister, Miss Mabel Fauble, for six months of study. Re- turning home she accepted a position as one of the instructors in the Belle- fonte High school where she taught two years very successfully. About eight years ago she was united in marriage to William Houseman, of Steelton, a classmate at Dickinson ‘college and now a successful attor- ney in Harrisburg, and all their mar- ried life has been spent in Steelton. Surviving her are her husband and two children, Jane and Ann, the lat- ter less than a year old. She also leaves her mother, Mrs. M. Fauble, living in Bellefonte, and the following brothers and sisters: Adolph Fauble and Mrs. Blanche Schloss, of Belle- fonte; Mrs. W. E.

Hall, in Wilmington, Del. She went to Wil- mington in December to spend the winter and at that time was in fair health but a complication of ailments developed which caused her death. She was a daughter of Henry and Margaretta Schneck Keller and was born at Oak Hall a little over eighty- four years ago. ‘Her girlhood life was spent at that place but eventually the family moved to Boalsburg where she lived the balance of her life. She was a member of the Reformed church from girlhood and a kindly, christian woman. She is survived by one sis- ter, Mrs. Hall, of Wilmington. The remains were brought to Centre coun- ty on Wednesday morning and taken to Boalsburg where funeral services were held in the Reformed church at ten o’clock by Rev. S. C.

He was a native of Carlisle but had been a resident of Altoona the past forty-five years. He was quite prominent in church work, being a member of the Second Pres- byterian church and secretary-treas- urer of the Altoona bible conference. Several months ago his sister, Mrs. Maggie Deitrich, died of the same dis- ease but surviving him are five sis- ters and one brother, namely: Mrs. Sarah Irwin, Mrs. George W. Levan, Misses Birdie and Grace Harkness, all of Altoona; Mrs. Robert ‘Irwin, of Bellefonte, and Harry P.

The contract has been awarded to the Clark Construc- tion company, of Hastings. All those who have traveled this mountain road know it passes through a section not- ed for its scenic beauty and once it is built will make one of the most de- lightful drives in this section of the State. ly, Bellefonte Y. a Busy Place. The Y. is becoming a centre of com- munity activities already. Various organizations having to do with the betterment of the community are availing themselves of the use of the community room on the second floor. Among them are the Business Men’s association, the Board of Trade, the American Legion, County Automobile association, County Sunday School as- sociation, Women’s Auxiliary and the Y. W. girls. Plans are under way to get the book club reorganized in the form of a pub- lic library. Those interested in this line in the past are being conferred with and the Business Men’s associa- tion is keenly interested in the estab- lishment of a public library. It is hoped that before long something def- inite will be announced about this need of the community. The Sunday afternoon meetings for March started off with a good inter- est and attendance. Rev. Wilson P. Ard gave an inspiring address on “The Measure of a Man.” Good, spir- ited singing made the meeting go off with snap. Next Sunday general sec- retary, Frank J. Olmstead, and exten- sion secretary, Ralph S. Adams, of State College, will address the meet- ing. Special music will be rendered by students from State College. A number of the young men mem- bers are interested in the organiza- tion of a radio club and a leader for this group has been secured who has considerable experience in this line. A meeting for those interested has been called for Saturday evening at 7:30 at the Y. If you are a wireless “bug” don’t be ashamed, call in and tell the secretary and attend the meet- ing Saturday. The business men started their gym class on Tuesday evening and a good number showed up. This class is sure to become popular as it gives better health and enjoyment of living through the physical exercise and good fellowship enjoyed in the gym. The bowling league has proved a popular form of sport and exercise. The alleys have been in constant use in the evening since the league open- ed. Reservations are asked for over the phone and it is well to plan your practice ahead of time and secure-the alleys. League games are played Monday, Wednesday and Friday even- ings. News of United Evangelical Church Conference. Rev. Reed O. Steely returned to Bellefonte on Tuesday morning from attending the annual sessions of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the United Evangelical church, held during the week, at Lewisburg, and there is no doubt but that the congre- gation .of the. Bellefonte church re- joiced in the S Bos, ahyeh. ve- turned here for another year’s work. The conference adjourned on Monday evening. One of the important ques- tions considered at the session was the organic union of the United Evangel- ical church and the Evangelical asso- ciation, the conference having voted in favor of the union by the over- whelming vote of 218 out of a possi- ble 231. Quite a number of chamges were made in the appointments of minis- ters. Rev. M. L. Hummell, for the past five years stationed at State Col- lege, was moved to York, and has been succeeded by Rev. Paul E. Keen, of Wrightsville. Rev. I. C. Bailey, of the Spring Mills charge, was: transferred to Lewisberry, and in his stead Rev. G. W. Frey, of Idaville, has been sent to Spring Mills. Clintondale, Rev. C. S. Messener, and Sonestown, Rev. J. W. Zang, exchanged pastorates. Rev. W. B. Cox, a former pastor of the Bellefonte church but who for the past four years was presiding elder of Carlisle district, was not re-elected to that position and instead Rev. I. E. Spangler, of Jersey Shore, was chos- en, and .the stationing committee placed Rev. Cox at Mechanicsburg. To fill the vacancy of Rev. Spangler, Rev. L. 'M. Dice, for five years pastor at Hagerstown, Md., was transferred to Jersey Shore. rr pans Rev. Scott will preach his last sermons for the conference year in the church here on Sunday. Next week he will spend attending the sessions of conference. The year has been a profitable one in the Bellefonte church. There has been a net gain of twenty- five members on the church roll, with twenty probationers to be taken in after the prescribed trial period. The Women’s Home and Foreign Mission- ary societies have both had the best years in their history and the Stand- ard Bearer society has shared in the good work. Both Rev. and Mrs. Scott have been diligent, intelligent work- ers in the Master’s vineyard and their many friends in and out of the church are hoping that they will be return- ed to the Bellefonte charge. Call Wion’s Garage in Case of Fire. Due to the borough fire alarm being out of order all persons wishing to send in an alarm (in case of fire) over the Bell telephone should call Wion’s garage, either day or night, who in turn will no!ify the Commercial ex- change to ring the Undine fire bell. Commercial phone patrons should no- tify exchange in case of fire. In the future when fire alarms are sounded drivers of all vehicles are re- quested to pull as close to the curb as possible, so the fire apparatus can pass without danger of accident. Ask- ing your assistance, I am respectful- R. E. KLINE, Fire Marshal. Boy Scout News. “Be Prepared.” “Do a good turn daily.” At the meeting of the Scouts last Friday evening in the boys’ club room in the basement of the Episcopal church the boys were divided into three patrols with the following as leaders: Bill Harvey, patrol leader, Harold Hoag, assistant; Robert Ray- mond, patrol leader, Max Ichkowitz, assistant; Carl Gray, patrol leader, Donald Mallory, assistant. There are eight Scouts in each patrol. All the boys are eagerly waiting for the re- sults of the tenderfoot tests which will be given this (Friday) night. All who are interested in the scouts watch for the returns in next week’s paper. Please don’t forget about any odd jobs you want done. If you have any call Bell 306 and our scout leader will send a boy to you. We hear rumors from time to time of other troops of scouts starting in Bellefonte; at the Evangelical church, among the colored boys of town, etc. We hope soon that there will be sev- eral troops here, and a local Scout Council. SCOUT SCRIBES. ——One of the biggest farm sales to be held in Centre county this spring will be that of former county commis- sioner D. A. Grove, at Dale’s Summit, next Friday. Mr. Grove has some of the best stock in the county and all of it is to be sold. He also has a most complete line of high grade farm im- plements, every piece of which will be disposed of that day. Farmers in need of anything should not fail to attend this sale. Remember the date, all day March 17th. ——Only eleven more days until spring will be here but that will make no change at the Scenic. That popu- lar motion picture theatre is with us all the time and open six evenings every week, showing big programs of the best pictures that manager T. Clayton Brown can secure. Regular patrons see all the good ones, which is a strong argument in favor of be- ing a regular. Are you? ——Announcement was made last week of the engagement of Miss Mar- tha Edith Boyer, of Chicago, and Har- old D. Foster, of Evanston, Ill. Mr. Foster is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Phil- ip D. Foster, of State College. He is a graduate of Penn State class of 1914 and is now sales agent for the DeLaval Steam Turbine Co., of Chi- cago, with headquarters at Evanston. PINE GROVE MENTION. Our merchant, E. H. Auman, is housed up with the flu and Fay Ran- dolph is looking after his store. Charles T. Homan had a bad streak ‘of luck recently, losing ‘a Guernsey cow and three fine ewes in one week. Miss Nannie McWilliams, teacher of the Baileyville school, spent Saturday with her sister, Mrs. F. V. Goodhart, at Centre Hall. Our town was well represented at the big dance in the I. O. O. F. hall at State College on Monday evening, and every one had a delightful time. The annual congregational meeting of the Presbyterian church will be held in the lecture room on Monday evening, March 13th, at 7:30 o’clock. George Hoover and family have had enough of Maryland and are coming back to Centre. county, Mr. Hoover having engaged with C. H. Meyers as his right hand man on the farm. Bear in mind the festival tomorrow (Saturday) evening in the I. O. O. F. hall under the auspices of our ball club. Refreshments will be served and there will be cake walks and other diversions. Proceeds will be divided between the Near East relief and the ball club. Mr. and Mrs. F. V. Goodhart, of Centre Hall, spent the early part of the week at the bedside of Mrs. Good- hart’s father, W. E. McWilliams, who suffered a partial stroke of paralysis on Sunday morning. His throat is af- fected, making speech difficult. His many friends hope for his recovery. RICH MAN, POOR MAN, BEGGAR- MAN, THIEF; DOCTOR, LAW- YER, INDIAN CHIEF. All have their troubles. The rich man has nothing on the poor man when it comes to trouble. The doctor and lawyer, as well as the beggarman and thief have their troubles. They may differ somewhat, but trouble is trouble and why trouble trouble until trouble troubles you? But if you have trouble with your eyes I am at your service and can overcome eye trouble which well help you overcome all other trouble. No drops. Satisfaction guaranteed. DR. EVA B.
