A Letter From Dr. Eloise Meek to a
Boy of Eleven Years that May
', Interest Older Readers.
+ Government Hospital,
Akiak, Alaska,
May 28, 1922
My dear Peter:
Your nice little letter came to me
quite quickly and the only fault I
could find was that it was too short.
You ask me to tell you all the inter-
esting thi-gs that have happened me
since I came here but as that would
make a longer letter than I think you
would enjoy reading, I shall try to tell
some of the things that I think would
most interest you.
When one comes to a place like this
you think time will hang heavily on
your hands but let me assure you,
Peter, that from the time I got here
there seems to be always something
“doing.” Just after all the native
people pulled out for the hills or the
tundra, one heard every day of the
“breakup,” for one is a chechaka un-
til one sees the breaking up of the ice
of one of the great rivers up here,
then they become a “sourdough.”
Each day we looked to see what
change the river would show and
would say “Maybe the ice will go cut
today,” but each day were disappoint-
ed until finally we began to wonder if
the ice intended to stay all year. Then
one day, while we were sitting at the
dinner table, a native boy came run-
ning to say “The ice is moving!” We
jumped and ran expecting to see a
great sight for it is said that almost
every year the water rises above the
banks and the ice floats all over the
place, banking up to such an extent
that the houses are in danger of be-
ing swept away, trees are cut off and
anything lying near is crushed by the
ice being pushed upon the bank. You
can imagine my surprise when I saw
that the river was still as a mill pond
but the ice had separated and was
moving slowly down stream in one
huge sheet. For two days, after that
mild moving ice went out, there was a
lake of pure blue water in front of
our door and, each day, we looked for
the up-river ice to come down. There
were jams and jams and a few little
cakes would float down each day and
some one would call “Here comes the
ice!” Finally, after nearly a week,
the ice came; not so terrifying as we
had expected but ice in big cakes,piled
up many feet high, floated past for
three days. On the fourth day, the
river was once more clear and we
heard a put-put-put and a man from
eighty miles up stream came to ask
me to see his little daughter who was
ill. Oh, Peter, could I tell you about
that eighty miles trip in an open boat,
seventeen hours one day but only sev-
en the other, with a bad wind trying
to drive us down stream as fast as our
little engine drove us up, I know you
would say you were glad you had not
gone along. The little girl was not
very ill when we arrived so that the
father was quite happy. I enjoyed
the down-stream trip much but my
face was red as it could be and I
“sure” was tired just sitting as we
did, not even stopping for food.
And now I must tell you about the
wild things—As soon as spring was
spoken of, I was told that the geese,
ducks, swans and cranes would be
coming soon but, as it was cold and
April more winter than March, I
could not quite believe that those wild
things would know when to come
along. An old residenter told me they
would come about the twenty-fifth of
April and, on the twenty-fourth, al-
though the day was as cold as it had
been all along, a flock of geese were
seen coming up the river. The ice
was unbroken and we wondered where
. they would find food to live on. The: St. CLAIR.—Mrs. Jerusha Bailey

For over a month there has been no
mail and the next mail will come in
on a boat. We have heard that it is
to be here in a week and we are very
excited for the winter is over and we
are once more to be connected with
the outside. And just as I was com-
pleting that sentence a neighbor came
in to tell us the boat had been wrecked
and that another had to be sent in its ;
place.
I must go off to work and just maybe
I will write you more, later on, if the
boat does not arrive.
June 7th.—The boat has not arrived
and I am going to tell about these
strange, long days. The gardens are
just planted and onions and lettuce,
started in the greenhouse, have just
been transplanted outside. Potatoes
and turnips are in and cabbage is up
in the hot-bed. Yesterday, the sun
was beautiful and we were outdoors
most of the day. No lights are light-
ed as it is twilight at midnight. The
whole northern sky is as red at
twelve-thirty a. m. as though the sun
had just set and the sun is up and
shining at three o’clock. Robins and
blue jays are everywhere and are
singing at some early hour.
I am going back to the North coun-
try on the first of August, if not July,
and will go to Nenana but as before, |
Anchorage will be my address.
My love to you all,
ELOISE MEEK.
“Armistice Day Forever.”
Because he could not fight with the
American soldiers in the war, and be-
ing a talented composer, Berry J.
Sisk, a young man who is physically
handicapped for life, has written a
special march which he has published
to help the cause of the American Le-
gion.
The title is “Armistice Day Forev-
er,” and is said to be an ideal compo-
sition for the piano, bands, orchestras,
and everyone who wishes a standard
number. It was introduced by John
Philip Sousa and his great band, and
has been commended by other musical
critics.
Berry wants to raise a fund of
$500,000.00 through its sale, this mch-
ey to be used in local work of all
American Legion Posts, and will be
sold through the 11,000 Posts in the
United States.
The offer from the composer has
just been received by the Brooks-Doll
Post of the American Legion here,
and is under consideration by its lead-
ers.

Two Barns Burned.
During the hard rain storm which
passed over Centre county about 5:30
c’clock on Tuesday evening the barn
on the farm of the Misses Hoy, in
Bald Eagle valley, was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground.
The farm is tenanted by Luther Bro-
beck, and he managed to save all his
stock and some of his farm imple-
ments, but all of this year’s crops of
hay and wheat were burned. The oats
were not yet in the barn. The Misses
Hoy carried $2000 insurance on the
barn but none on the ¢rops. So far
as could be learned Mr. Brobeck had
no insurance on his implements. Just
about two years ago the house on the
same farm was burned to the ground
as the result of a stroke of lightning.
On Monday evening the barn on the
farm occupied by William Kanarr,
near Birmingham, was struck and
burned to the ground, with all its con-
tents. Mr. Kanarr formerly lived in
Centre county and his friends sympa-
thize with him in his less.

Holiness Campmeeting.
The third local campmeeting of the
International Holiness churches of |
Centre, Clearfield and Clinton coun-
ties will open on Wednesday evening, |
August 9th, at the site of the High- |
land Holiness church, one and three-
fourths miles north of Howard, to
continue until the evening of August
20th. A camp of especial victory and
blessing is confidently anticipated by
the church adherents.
Rev. James T. Maffin, of Marion,
Ohio, described as a man full of faith
and fire, will be the evangelist in
charge and promises to bring a mes-
sage no one can afford to miss. He
will be assisted by Rev. Carrie Yoder

pioneer missionary to the Indians of
South America. She will be in at-
tendance from the 10th to the 13th,
inclusive, will speak each morning and
will deliver the general missionary
address on Sunday, the 13th. These
talks will be invaluable to every earn-

Uniontown on Wednesday and will be
buried on Saturday afternoon.
Senator Crow, following his ap-

Governor Sproul, appeared but twice
‘before that body. He was named to
the place succeeding the late Senator
P. C. Knox. Senator Crow was taken
ill with pernicious anemia last Decem-
ber and after several months in a

Chalk Hill in hopes that the mountain
air would do him good.

county, March 10, 1870, a son of Jo-
siah Crow and Elizabeth McComb
Crow. He rose from farmer boy to
Senator by way of journalism, law
and politics which he entered in 1895

1911, where he continued until ap-
pointed United States Senator. He
also served as State chairman of the

In Memory of Corporal Sager.
At a regular meeting of Camp 887 P. O.
S. of A., of Bellefonte, Friday evening,
July 28th, the following resolutions in be-
half of Albert H. Sager, who was killed at
Jenners Station, on the evening of July
25th by being thrown under an army
truck, were authorized:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God
to remove from our midst, by death, our
esteemed friend and co-laborer, Albert
Homer Sager, who has for a number of
years been among our ranks, maintaining
under all circumstances a character untar-
nished, and a reputation above reproach.
Therefore be it resolved, That in the
death of Mr. Sager, we have sustained the
loss of a friend whose fellowship it was an
honor and pleasure to enjoy; that we bear
willing testimony to his many virtues, to
his unquestioned probity and stainless
life; that we offer to his bereaved parents,
brothers and sisters and mourning friends
over whom sorrow has hung her sable
mantle, our heartfelt condolence and pray
that Infinite Goodness may bring speedy
relief to their burdened hearts and inspire
them with the consolations that hope in
futurity and faith in God give even in the
shadow of the Tomb.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent the parents and one to each
of the Bellefonte papers, as well as same
spread on the minutes of our Order.
CHARLES GARBRICK, President.
