Dr. Eloise Meek Writing to a Friend
in Johnstown Tells More of Na-
tive Life in Alaska.
Government Hospital
Akiak, Alaska,
April 7th, 1922.
I believe all three of your letters
have at last reached me,—the first
found me on the Yukon river, the sec-
ond came to me at the deserted camp
of Flat, the third followed me down
the Kuskokwim river. Those are
mere words to you but could be the
subject for pages and pages of exper-
iences but as I am alone here now and
am doctor, nurse, and general facto-
tum to a pseudo-diphtheria, a mas-
toiditis, and a case of acute nephritis,
you may well imagine that I have
neither time nor inclination to write
Instead,
native things that I find so interest-
ing.
The natives of this village are said
to be among the rich ones of Alaska
and, after seeing the poor little hov-
els in which others live, I am inclin-
ed to think it is correct. And if I tell
you what these have you will have
some idea of what the Moravian Mis-
sions have done for them. There are
about thirty-five log cabins in this
West Akiak as distinguished from the
white settlement on the other side of
the river or East Akiak. They have
movable windows, good floors, bunks
for sleeping and many of the natives
own reindeer. They are far away
from eating only fish as most of the
others do and like garden truck, meat,
jam and jelly as well as butter. You
will scarcely appreciate how strange
this is until I tell you there are oth-
ers who eat absolutely nothing but
fish. I have seen them sitting around,
each with a piece of dried meat in
their hands, tearing at it like a dog
and without even a cup of tea or wa-
ter to wash it down. No bread, only
seal oil as a lubricant and this seal
oil smells like rotting fish, so you may
imagine how appetizing to a white
man this meal would be, or, they will
boil a fresh fish and one may have a
portion of that * * * *
I began this days ago but work
crowded it aside and, today, Sunday,
after measuring off the necessary
gauze to line the coffin of my latest
victim, I am going to finish. While
perhaps not interested in the illness of
this patient, you may care to know of
her burial. They have made her a
box and the government gives them
enough gauze to line it and enough
drill to cover the outside. The body
will be covered with yellow muslin
and a strip twice as long as she is will
be laid upon the hay in the bottom
and she will be laid upon this and cov-
ered like a blanket to her chin. The
body is ready for burial this after-
noon, about twenty-two hours after
death; but a one-room cabin is too
small for life and death to stay long
together.
The inhabitants here wear some
kind of fur garments all the time al-
though, so far as weather is concern-
ed, New York or indeed Johnstown
has often been as cold as it has been
here—an occasional, very cold snap
lasting for a day or two with little
snow. And now it is April! Cold—
with snow, rain and sunshine all in
one day. The people hereabouts are
starting hot-houses for, while all tub-
ers are grown outdoors, tomatoes,
lettuce, and radishes are, at least,
started indoors and the tomatoes are
never taken outdoors as the seasons
are too short. Potatoes, turnips,
rutabagas, also carrots, parsnips and
celery grow well here but the mos-
quitoes make gardening a terrific
task since the moss and the many
|
lakes in this part of Alaska breed
them in “clouds.” No fleas and ro
bed-bugs are found here but lice in |
quantities. |
April 12th—I was told last night,
that, in another week or so, the geese |
and ducks will be here in great num- |
bers and that sounds quite spring-
like to me. Now that my first winter
in Alaska is a thing of the past and
not cold, except for a few days, it
seems really funny when I had antic- |
ipated being housed for weeks and
weeks and that my nose would be
frozen if I poked it out of the door.
One thing that I do not like up here i
is the lack of variety in foods but to
offset that drawback is the little at-
tention given to dress. Then there is
so plenty of room that there need be |
no crowding as in New York. |
The natives of this little village
have all gone out to the hills to get
squirrels in order that they may have
skins for next winter’s clothing. The
fishermen at home about the first of
April are the only other folks I have
ever seen who were so enthusiastic!
They will stay until the first of June :
or 2 little before and will then come
back to catch the salmon on its way
up the river and this will be their:
food for the next year. As we are
wading in mud here, I do not know |
how they can be so enthusiastic over
living in a tent in this kind of
weather.
It is now getting daylight at five
o’clock and the sun is with us until |
eight-thirty by “our time” but what
the real time is would be difficult to
say. If you want funny experiences,
have some clocks that run, but wheth-
er fast, slow or medium you do not
know. And then have no other way
of estimating time except that when
day breaks it is daytime and you wiil
know what Alaskans do. One wom-
an’s time is an hour ahead of ours,
anothers is an hour behind. There are
four or five clocks in this ward and I
have my watch and some of them re-
main fairly well together so we take
an average but if we are invited out
or some one sent for at a certain time,
you may expect them to arrive an
hour early or an hour late according
to their time. It was one of my fun-
niest experiences when first I came
and is, sometimes, most irritating.
I have had little news of the out-
side—perchance a newspaper once a
month and that three months old.
First class mail always comes but
second class must wait, sometimes,
until many moons have passed. The
southeastern pert of the territory has
a much better mail service but this
station or reservation is very much |
“off the map” and I feel that India, in |
comparison, was very much in the
world. You have no idea how one de-
pends upon events to keep the mind
going until you live in a place like
this where it is an event to have a
new person come into the village and
you may thus imagine how welcome
are letters.

Information for Sportsmen.
As a matter of information, atten-
tion is called to the fact that the sea-
son on birds commonly known as
blackbirds will open on August 1st
and will run continuously until No-
vember 30th, Sundays excepted. In
1921 it was not possible to secure the
hunters licenses before the opening of
the blackbird season, but every coun-
ty in the State has received it’s 1922
quota of hunter’s licenses and all per-
sons must secure hunter’s licenses be-
fore hunting for blackbirds, except on
lands on which they reside and culti-
vate as either the owner or lessee, or
as a member of the family of such
owner or lessee, also residing upon
and cultivating lands, or on lands im-
mediately adjacent upon securing per-
mission from adjacent owners. The
hunter’s license law will be enforced
strictly, says Seth E. Gordon, secre-
tary of the State Game Commission.
The law relative to training dogs
does not permit training until Sep-
tember 1st. On and after that date it
is legal to train dogs on any game ex-
cept deer, elk, and wild turkeys until
the 1st of March next following, Sun-
days excepted, so long as firearms
usually raised at arms length and fir-
ed from the shoulder are not carried
while so training and no injury is done
to the game pursued. The penalty
for permitting dogs to chase game
prior to September 1st is $10.00 for
each day and $5.00 for each bird or
rabbit killed.
Field Meetings for Potato Growers.
Would you think of entering a crip-
pled or diseased horse in a race? It
is no more practical to attempt to pro-
duce 75 cent potatoes at a profit, from
diseased plants.
The average potato yield in Centre
county is about 90 bushels per acre.
With good, clean, healthy seed alone
that average yield can be increased
50 per cent. The best time to detect
diseased potato plants is now while
they are growing. In order to help
farmers to become better acquainted
with these degenerative potato diseas-
es the Centre county Farm Bureau
has arranged to hold field meetings
Friday and Saturday, July 28th and
29th, as follows:
Friday, 10 a. m., at J. M. Campbell’s,
on White Hall road, three miles east
of Pennsylvania Furnace.
Friday, 2 p. m., Harvey Decker, one
half mile north of Penn Hall.
Saturday, 10 a. m., L. E. Hess, on
Tyrone pike, one mile southwest of
Philipsburg.
——New Directories of the United
Telephone and Telegraph company
were distributed to its many patrons
throughout Centre county this week.

WADDLE.—Mrs. Susanna C., Wad-
dle, wife of the venerable James C.
Waddle, died at her home in Lock Ha-
ven on Sunday afternoon at three
o’clock, following a week’s illness with
pneumonia.
She was a daughter of Jacob and
Sabina Wagner and was born at Leb-
anon on November 19th, 1845, hence
was in her seventy-seventh year. Her
parents came to Centre county when
she was a child and her early life was
spent in the vicinity of Bellefonte. In
1875, or several years after her mar-
riage to Mr. Waddle, they moved to
Lock Haven and that had been her
home ever since. Mrs. Waddle pos-
sessed many beautiful traits of char-
acter that endeared her to a large cir-
cle of friends and acquaintances, all
of whom will mourn her death. She
was an extremely affectionate mother
and the death of a daughter, Mrs. A.
C. Tevling, less than six months ago,
was a sad blow to her and she never
fully recovered therefrom.
In addition to her husband she is
‘survived by two daughters and two
sons, namely: Mrs. Mary W. Adams,
of Lock Haven; Mrs. Berkley Cham-
i berlain, of Williamsburg; Frank W.
Waddle, of Chicago, and Harry W., of
St. Louis, Mo. She also leaves two
brothers and one sister, Adam Y.
Wagner, of Bellefonte; David L, of
Lemont, and Mrs. Sabina S. Houser,
well as eight
grand-children and three great grand- |
children.
Funeral services were held at her
late home in Lock Haven at two
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon by
Rev. Oliver S. Wetzler, after which
interment was made in the Highland
cemetery.

WALKER.—Mrs. Eliza Jane Walk-
er, widow of William C. Walker, died
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
George Heaton, at Greenwood, near
Altoona, on Sunday evening, follow-
ing an illness of some weeks with a
complication of diseases.
Her maiden name was Eliza Watkins
and she was born at Beech Creek
on August 11th, 1847, hence was al-
most seventy-five years old. She was
married to Mr. Walker at Milesburg
fifty-four years ago and they had nine
children. Mr. Walker died some years
ago but surviving her are the follow-
ing children: Mrs. Heaton, of Green-
wood; William Walker, of Grampian;
George, of State College; Clyde, of
Mineral Point, and Forden, of Snow
Shoe. She also leaves two brothers
and two sisters, William and Harvey
Watkins, of Flemington; Mrs. Emma
| Shawley, of Howard, and Mrs. Clara
Walker, of Altoona.
The Walker family lived for many
years in Boggs township and Mrs.
Walker was a member of the United
Brethren church for fifty years. Fun-
eral services were held at Greenwood
on Monday evening and on Tuesday
the remains were brought to Centre
county for burial in the Advent cem-
etery.

life, however, had been spent in Phil-
ipsburg. He worked as a teamster
and was reliable and industrious until
overtaken by illness. Surviving him
are his father and three brothers,
Winfield S. Jr. and William Woods, of
Philipsburg, and John, of Niles, Ohio.
Funeral services were held last Sat-

The Boys Will Break Camp Today.
We made a brief visit to camp A. G.
Morris, on Spring creek, Wednesday
evening, only to find the lovely little
spot where the younger Y boys have
been having the time of their lives,
practically deserted. Cook Beals and
Master Grove were the only ones in
sight and they informed us that zll
the others had taken their supper and
blankets and gone to the woods for a
night of rough camping. Surely the
lads are having a wonderful time and
we fancy there will be many a regret
when they have to quit the canoes, the
swimming and hiking and good eats
to return home today.
We don’t know when we have been
so impressed with the beneficial work
the Y is doing for the youth of this
community, as when we saw that
camp and fully surveyed the scope of
physical and moral exhilaration its op-
portunities made possible. Little boys
were all on their own, some of them
for the first time in their lives, and
while the play went on there was that
deft work at character building that
has made Mr. Aplin, the Y secretary,
so successful and so popular.
Of course the camp would not have
been the success it was had it not had
a splendid chef like Beals. He kept
the boys filled with wholesome food,
baked pies and buns for them and
made himself so helpful in every way
that he became a veritable idol in
camp. The admiration was mutual,
however, for Beals told us that in his
long years of experience he had never
seen a group of lads like the ones he
was then cooking for. He said there
was team work everywhere and never
a discordant note.
Business Men’s Picnic.
The annual picnic of the Associated
Business Men of Bellefonte is usually
the last big gathering of the kind.
This picnic will be held this year at
Hecla park on Thursday, August 17th,
and the committee in charge is work-
ing kard to make it the biggest and
best one ever held. There will be two
ball games, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon, which is assur-
ance that the picnic will be an all day
gathering. The game in the after-
noon will be one worth going to see,
as it will be between ‘the crack P. R.
R. motor department teams of Har-
risburg and Williamsport. These are
regarded as two of the best teams in
the railroad league and many suppor-
ters from both cities will doubtless
accompany each team.
But baseball will not be the only at-
traction: of the day. There will be
many other sports, band concerts,
dancing afternoon and evening, boat-
ing and a good time generally. Re-
freshments of all kinds will be for
sale on the grounds. Make your plans
to be there.

More Whiskey Found on Florida
Farms.
According to prohibition enforce-
ment officer Davis the plowing up of
the Florda fruit farm, located on the
mountain near Loganton, by big trac-
tors, resulted in the discovery last
Friday of forty-three more quarts of
moonshine whiskey which had been
buried in the ground for safe keeping.
The find gave the officers in charge re-
newed inspiration to continue their
work until they have turned over the
soil of the entire farm. It is the be-
lief of federal enforcement officers
that the Florida farm plant was one
of the largest moonshine distilleries
in the north, and they claim to have
i evidence that two and three truck loads
of liquor were sent out from the farms
every week, most of it to western
points. After the farm has been thor-
oughly plowed in the search of booze
it will be sold at public sale to the
highest bidder.

Industrial Statistics for Centre Coun- | Train Robber and Convicted Murderer
ty in 1921.
According to the production figures
of Centre county for the year 1921
made public by the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Internal Affairs, there
were preduced, among other things,
12,828,528,000 matches. If it would
be possible to lay these matches end
to end there would be a sufficient num-
ber to encircle the globe eighteen
times.
Industrial establishments in Centre
county turned out products in 1921
having a value of $8,758,200, accord-
ing to figures made public by Secre-
tary of Internal Affairs, James F.
Woodward, following a completion of
a survey made by the bureau of sta-
tistics and information of the Penn-
sylvania Department of Internal Af-
fairs.
The 118 establishments in the coun-
ty last year gave employment to 3,-
813 persons of whom 2,525 were
Americans white, 27 were Americans
colored and 1,261 were foreigners.
The records show also that of the per-
sons employed 3,422 were males and
391 were females. Industrial workers
in the county in 1921 were paid a to-
tal wage of $3,026,600, of which $2,-
858,100 was paid to male workers and
$168,500 was paid to female labor.
The capital invested in Centre coun-
ty industries last year amounted to
$12,534,600.
The largest production item in Cen-
tre county in 1921 was bituminous
coal, the value of it at the mines be-
ing $1,968,300.
Various classes of industry in the
county had values for the year as fol-
lows:
Building and contracting materials
and supplies, $284,500; chemicals and
allied products, $1,158,100; clay,
glass and stone products, $1,679,800;
food and kindred products, $1,608,000;
beverages, $125,600; lumber and its
remanufacture, $468,300; paper and
printing industries, $114,800; textiles
and textile products, $591,800; metals
and metal products $421,300; mines
and quarries, $2,237,000; tobacco and
its products, $3,200; miscellaneous,
$65,800.
Practically one-third of the prod-
ucts of Centre county last year were
shipped outside of the State, the rec-
ords of the Department of Internal
Affairs showing that the value of the
industrial output shipped to points
outside of Pennsylvania was $2,931,-
100.
Some of the quantities produced in
the county included: 60,500 cigars;
5,234 tons of glass sand; 612,191 tons
of bituminous coal; 350 tons of char-
coal iron; 26,145 dozen shirts; 72,000
dozen pairs of hosiery; 4,938 tons of
manufactured ice; 169,767 gallons of
ice cream; 1,100,000 building brick;
12,828,528,000 matches.

The last act in the drama which in-
included the sensational robbery of tne
Manhattan limited train on the Penn-
sylvania railroad at Gallitzin, on July
29th, 1921, which included the shoot-
ing of mail agent A. J. Lantz, and
the murder in Altoona on August 3rd
of William E. Niehaus, an insurance
adjuster of McKeesport, was played
to a finish on Monday morning when
Gilbert McCloskey, twenty-three
years old, of Altoona, was sent to the
death chair at the Rockview peniten-
tiary.
McCloskey was alleged to have been
the ring leader of the gang which in-
cluded George Lafferty and Edward
Yon. The young men succeeded in
eluding the police until early in Oe-
tober when all were arrested. Laffer-
ty and Yon drew second degree ver-
dicts and are now serving twenty year
sentences in the western penitentiary.
McCloskey was convicted of murder
in the first degree and every effort
possible was made to save his life.
The pardon board refused to inter-
vene and even as late as last Friday
an appeal was made to Supreme court
justice Kephart, at his home in Eb-
ensburg, to grant a stay of execution
but he declined.
Owing to the many sympathizers
McCloskey had in Altoona the Blair
county officers took no chances in
transferring him from the Blair coun-
ty jail to the death house at Rockview.
The trip was made on Friday after-
noon and five officers had him in
charge. McCloskey’s wife and sister
visited him at the death house on Sat-
urday and on Sunday his mother made
her farewell visit. McCloskey had al-
ways protested that he did not fire the
fatal shot which killed Niehaus and
maintained his innocence until the
last. He was attended to the death
chair by Father B. O’Hanlon, of State
College. The remains were claimed
and were sent to Gallitzin for burial.

Little Helen Lucas, a daughter o
Mr. and Mrs. Ephriam Lucas, quite
unwittingly caused considerable com
motion and excitement last Saturday
night. She had been on a visit at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Merrill Walk

Walker family and Helen started t
walk to the Lucas home. The latte
ran ahead but she knew the road an:
the Walker’s thought little of it un
til they arrived at the Lucas hom
and discovered that Helen had no
made her appearance. A genera
alarm was sent out and neighbors an:
friends were organizing a searchin;
party when the little girl was discov
ered in Gledhill’s ice cream parlo:
whither she had gone instead of t
her home.
