Dr. Eloise Meek Writes of Salmon
Fishing, Days Twenty-three
Hours Long, and Other Inter-
esting Things in Alaskan
Life.
Government Hospital,
Akiak, Alaska,
June 14th, 1922.
My dear Home Folk:
As you will see from Peter’s letter 1
began to get ready for the boat sev-
eral days ago, but when that same
boat came in this morning and
brought many of your belated letters
I wanted to answer them at once so
will send this out with his.
First, I want to tell you that we
travel by WATER in the summer,
either in little motor boats or, if not
so wealthy, in row boats; or, when the
government sends a physician to this
place, where neither dogs are allowed
nor boats provided, one walks where
they can, generally on the river bank,
or stays at hone until some kind neigh-
bor takes pity on you or a native
needs you and you are taken off your
island home. It is easy to get around
in the winter but the summer—well, I
would own a motor boat if I expected
to stay in this section for any time.
The weather has been beautiful for
the last two days and I am surely
glad for we had just begun to feel as
though the world had dropped us from
its midst and so this morning when
the mail was announced and all the
letters from the first of April arrived
1 felt, after all, it was a fine place.
You hoped that I would keep warm.
I have not been a bit more uncomfort-
able than many times at home when
the temperature dropped too fast for
the fire tender to keep in touch with
it. We use wood and at night there
was no fire so that the mornings were
rather cold but that was because the
one man in this house was not a good
riser and hard to get awake before
eight o’clock when the days were
short. There is no trouble of that
sort now since the days are twenty-
three hours long. I wonder if you
could conceive the feeling of getting
up at two o’clock in the night and find-
ing it as light outside as at six o’clock
where you had lived before and wak-
ing up suddenly with a rosy glow on
your wall to find upon rising that it
was the sun and that the clock said
2:30 a. m. And the shortest day is
not yet! The northern sky is as gor-
geous at twelve-thirty a. m. as at sev-
en in the evening at home and you
can well see that I will lose all my
beauty sleep if I try to “work while it
is day.”
In Peter’s letter, I told him the sal-
mon would be the next attraction so
this week the little native girl, who
has been a patient here since I came,
ran breathlessly in to tell us the sal-
mon had arrived. After getting
through with the necessary work, I
hastened to the beach (we call it that
for the tides come up this far, espe-
cially on a windy day), and saw some
natives getting their nets ready.
Were they going to fish? “Yes, in
the evening,” and, in the evening, I
again went down to see the sport. It
was a new kind of fishing. “Drift-
ing,” they called the process of cast-
ing their nets and then just drifting
along until too heavy or far enough
below the village to make them pull
up their nets. It is the King Salmon
that is now running; the lesser kind
will come later. The natives who had
returned just a week or two ago from
the hills, where they were hunting for
squirrels for their winter clothing, er,
from the tundra, where they get the
muskrat, are again on the move to the
fish camps to get fish for their winter
food for both man and dog. They
camp there and, after catching the
|
fish, dry them, after cutting them open,
removing the intestines and as much
of the backbone as possible, by
stretching them with a small stick and
then hanging them on the frames to
dry in the sun. It is a curious sight
but a most smelly atmosphere in which
these people live during the process
and I am glad that they do not have
these camps very near this village.
The smelt, just now hanging about in
long strings similar to the strings of
suckers at home, are as much as I
want to smell now when the warm
weather is coming. The mosquitoes
are here and I will have the wire net-
ting put on tomorrow. The village is
one beautiful (?) smudge tonight and
I am assured it will be smoky the re-
mainder of the summer. The great
frames that have stood empty so long
are, tonight, hung full of red fish. So
many pieces were to be seen and all so
bright a color that I almost thought
they had been dyeing cloth.
The gardens are planted and the
village cleaned up so that I did not
eet eee ere ree
know it when I walked through, as I
have been busy indoors these days and |
have not seen what is going on out- |
side.
The order to take out two orphan |
children, who have been under my |
care, has come and they are ready to |
sail for the outside tomorrow. Poor
waifs! half white, half Esquimo; both
parents gone. I wonder what will be-
come of them? They are the wards
of the government as the father leit
enough money to educate them and
then—what ?
The candy came this morning and
was mighty good—just as fine as'if I
had received it for Christmas as you
intended. I also received the “Watch-
man’ of May fifth.
When I start again I will go up this
river to a place near Hoskagamute,
thence across the portage to a Russian
Mission on the Yukon where I was for
a week last autumn on the way in. I
will then get a Yukon river boat and
go first to Nenana (Fort Gibbon),
then up the Nenana to Fairbanks and
down to Anchorage where Ruth is now
living.
It is ten-thirty p. m. and the glow
of the setting sun makes light enough
for me to write. Good-night and I
hope you are all as well and fine as 1
am feeling tonight.
ELOISE.

“Community Sale”
Bellefonte.
A Planned for
A “community sale” is to be held in
Bellefonte under the auspices of the
Associated Business Men of Belle-
fonte on Wednesday, September 27th.
While this will be an innovation for
Centre county such sales are not new
in other sections of the State. The
plan originated with the people of
Waynesboro and the first one proved
so successful that it has become a per-
manent establishment not only in that
city but in other localities throughout
the State.
The plan is very simple. A com-
mittee is appointed by the Associated
Business Men to take charge of every-
thing in connection with the sale. Any
farmer, mechanic, laborer or other-
wise who has something he wants to
sell, sends a list and complete descrip-
tion of the article or articles to the
committee at a stated time prior to
the date of the sale. The committee
will then advertise all articles and ar-
range for auctioneers, clerks, etc., on
the day of the sale. At the conclu-
sion of the sale the pro rata of ex-
pense will be deducted from the price
received for every article and the bal-
ance of the proceeds paid to the own-
er.
Stock, farm implements, furniture,
tools, and everything except perisha-
ble fruits, vegetables, etc., will be ac-
cepted. The committee takes full
charge after the articles are deliver-
ed to them, thus relieving the owner
of any of the details of the sale.
Bellefonte merchants and business
men will co-operate to make the sale
a success. Special bargains will be of-
fered by the merchants for that day
only. Restaurants and eating places
will serve meals at reduced rates.
There will be band concerts and other
kinds of free entertainment. County
farm agent J. N. Robinson and voca-
ional director John B. Payne will co-
operate with the business men in mak-
ing the sale a success. Additional in-
formation will be given as the plans
for the sale mature. Remember the
date for the first sale will be Septem-
ber 27th.
——————————
Grange Encampment and Fair.
The big business men’s picnic is a
thing of the past and most everybody
in Centre county will now be looking
forward to the annual Grange en-
campment and fair at Centre Hall,
which will be held September 2-8. The
committee in charge is making prepa-
rations to entertain a banner crowd,
not only of campers for the week but
transient guests. Farmers are al-
ready reserving space for exhibits of
live stock, poultry and farm produce,
while the display of farm implements
and machinery will likely be on a par
with former years. A band will be in
attendance every day and give free
concerts on the ground, while there
will be other amusements to help en-
tertain the crowd.
While there will be speaking every
day in the big auditorium the star at-
tractions will be on Thursday, Sep-
tember 7th, when both the candidates
for Governor, John A. McSparran,
Democrat, and Gifford Pinchot, Re-
publican, will be there. They will
both speak from the same platform and
it will offer a good opportunity for the
voters of Centre county to get a line
GEORGE M. HARTER.
HARTER.—It is with profound re-
gret that the “Watchman” this week
announces the death of County Com-
missioner George IM. Harter, at his
home at Howard at five o'clock last
Friday evening. He had been a suf-
ferer with diabetes for some time but
not only attended to his work as a
i commissioner but looked after his var-
ious business interests. In fact he
was in Bellefonte on Wednesday ap-
parently in his usual health.
Shortly after four o'clock con
Thursday morning he woke up and
complained of not feeling well. In
less than a half hour he became un-
conscious and lingered in that condi-
tion until passing away at the time
above stated. The direct cause of his
death was uraemic poisoning.
He was a son of Daniel and Sarah
Harter and was born in Marion town-
ship on April 8th, 1864, hence was 58
years, 4 anonths and 3 days old. His
boyhood years were spent on the farm
and in attending the public school at
Jacksonville. When fifteen years of
age his mother passed away and
though her going was a great shock
to him he stuck to the farm and grew
to manhood endowed with high princi-
ples of honesty and unrightness which
have characterized his life. On the
28th of October, 1886, he married Miss
Fietta Hoy and embarked in farm-
ing for himself. He proved so suc-
cessful that eventually he purchased
the Garbrick farm and made that his
home until a little over two years ago
when he moved to Howard.
As an evidence of the regard in
which he was held by the people of
Marion township he was elected a jus-
tice of the peace when twenty-five
years old and re-elected time after
time until his continuous service in
that office totalled thirty years. He
was an active member of Marion
Grange No. 228 for going on thirty-
seven years. He also served as tax
collector, overseer of the poor 3
township auditor. In 1919 he becar
a candidate for County Commission-
er and won the nomination in a field
of four on the Democratic ticket. His
running mate was Capt. W. H. Fry, of
Pine Grove Mills, and at the polls in
November Mr. Harter was elected
over Capt. Fry by 166 votes. In the
two years and a half he served in the :
commissioner’s office he was always
gentlemanly and courteous to the pub-
lic and careful and conscientious in‘
all business relating to county affairs.
Mr. Harter was one of the organiz-
ers of the First National Bank, at
Howard, and had been a member of
the board of directors ever since its
organization. He was a life-long
member of the Reformed church at
Jacksonville and for more than twen-
ty years superintendent of the Sunday
school.
Surviving him are his wife and the
following children: John Raymond
Harter, at home; Willard C., of Jack-
sonville; Mrs. Earl Armstrong, of Zi-
on; Mrs. Harry Smeltzer, Bellefonte
R. E. D. No. 2; Allen Harter, Belle-
fonte R. F. D. No 1; Mrs. Glenn Wal- '
EE mmm —————————
i personal and official, without fear or fa-
| vor, and with unwavering devotion (0
what he believed was right and proper.
Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt
sympathy to his bereaved wife and family
and commend them to His love and mercy.
Resolved, That a copy of this Memorial
be spread upon the minutes of the County
Commissioners’ office of Centre county, and
be sent to the family of our late brother,
and also published in the newspapers of
the county.

ney, who talked on the theme, “The
Sustaining Vision.”
At six o’clock last evening the Sun-

decorated the graves of Joseph Miles,
Susan Miles, Mrs. Hannah Green and
Abigail Miles. At 7:30 o’clock Rev.

munity young people’s service.
This (Friday) evening Dr. S. F.
Forgeus, chaplain of the Huntingdon
reformatory, will preach the centena-
ry sermon and Miss Ella Levy will
read a well prepared historical sketch
of the church.
Tomorrow evening Mr. S. S. Aplin,
general secretary of the Bellefonte Y.
M. C. A., will give an interesting pro-
gram of stereopticon pictures with an
explanatory lecture, and later home
missions will be discussed by Hopi
Indians.

will be made by Rev. J. B. Thomas,

turned missionary from India.
Apropos of the celebration Miss M.
V. Thomas, of Anchor, Oregon, but
who formerly lived at Milesburg, has
contributed the following poem, sym-
bolic of the occasion:
A hundred years have rolled away,
Since those who pioneered
The wilds of this good land of ours,
This Christian body reared.
Some day, when the accounting comes,
The last result will show
“They builded better than they knew
A hundred years ago.”
How many have their lesson learned
Of christian living, here
And carried far away with them
The wholesome atmosphere.
Let those who have not yet gone on
Who still are here below
Advance the work so well begun
A hundred years ago.

Fire Near Boalsburg.
The beautiful farm home of Mr. and
Mrs. William Stuart, near Boalsburg,
was totally destroyed by fire on Wed-
nesday morning. The fire originated
in an out kitchen, from a spark on the
roof, and the flames spread so rapid-
ly that they quickly communicated
to the house. The family was able
to save very little of their household
goods. The house was built only a
few years ago and was modern in
every respect. The loss is considera-
ble but partially covered with insur-
ance.

In a recent letter from Mrs.
Julia Curtin Stailey, wife of E. Earl
Stailey, deputy collector of Internal
Revenue for Los Angeles, a very en-
thusiastic description was given of
their Pennsylvania picnic. Mrs. Stai-

John Wood and his family, former
residents of Bellefonte. Their oldest
son, Perry, who is judge of the Su-
perior court of Los Angeles county,
is now a candidate for re-election,
while their other sons are all prosper-
ous business men. Their only daugh-
ter, Margaret, and her husband had
just joined the family in California,
moving there from Minnesota. Mrs.
Stailey, although loyal to Pennsylva-
nia, is very much pleased with her
new hone on the Pacific coast.

Camp Little, Ebensburg, Pa.,
August 14th, 1922.
Editor of the “Watchman:”
Owing to the excitement of chang-
ing camps from Washington to Cam-
bria county last week our weekly let-
ter was entirely forgotten. Our new
camp near Ebensburg is a very decid-
ed improvement over our old one at
Cokeburg. We are located about one
and a half miles from the town of Eb-
ensburg, which is about the size of
Bellefonte. The streets and houses
are much like those at home. Our
camp is on a perfectly flat field about
the size of the aviation field in Belle-
fonte. There is only one other troop
here with us. We have running water,
shower baths and electric light in
each tent.
The nearest mines to our camp are
about three miles away and so far
there has been no disturbance of any
kind. Quite a few people from the
vicinity round about come to visit the
camp and they seem very friendly, al-
though some of the troopers on duty
claim the people near them are more
or less hostile to the soldiers.
We follow a regular routine every
day. Today part of the troop were at
target practice on the pistol range.
The balance of the troop will also get
a chance at it, and it is hoped we will
develop some good marksmen in our
outfit.
Blackberries are certainly plentiful
around here. We can walk to the edge
of the camp and in about five minutes
pick a big basket full of berries. We
see people picking them everywhere.
All the boys wish to be remember-
$d to the home folks and send their
est.
