In Huntington.

FRED Larson, an employe OF the
United States government, arrived
In this city yesterday. having been
transferred here from San Francisco.
n will stay In this city for a few
days. after which he will go to
Huntington. w. Va. where he will be
employed in connection with the
work being done on dam Nc. IS ut
that point. Mr.. Larson is thoroughly
familiar with the government work.
as his varied experiences have fitted
him for the change. For the past
two years he has been located In
Honolulu. Hawaii. and previous 40
that time was stationed in Panama.
where he worked at the big dam for
a period OF two years.
When he left Honolulu he went 70
a Francisco. and being in the
revenue service at that time. he was
giVen a position on the revenue cut
ter Bear. which vas about TO sail
for he Arctic region. lie spent one
year on the cutter and left San
Francisco for the northern regions.
May I last. and after spending seven
months in the Arctic ocean and
Boring sea around Alaska. he Te-
turned to San Francisco, and then
came east.
Interesting story.
In speaking OF his cruise to the
north. Mr.. Larson said to an Intelli-
gencer reporter yesterday: The
Bear Is n OF h oldest cutters in
the service. and was the first 20
reach Nome. Alaska. with the mail
and supplies last year. and the last
ship out in the early winter. The
cutter carries school supplies and
n in addition to matter for the
school teachers and missionaries ia
Alaska. IL acts for the department
OF the interior and the bureau OF
education II renders much service.
although on this cruise very little
trouble was experienced. as there
was very little ice. n we were not
called upon to render assistance TO
any OF the other steamers. which are
often given trouble by the heavy ice.
THE cutter Is a floating court for
the district north OF Nome. and all
preliminary government cases are
tried on board the boat. and IL the
cases are OF a serious nature the
defendants are taken 10 Nome. and
trial Is proceeded with. The Rear
has the distinction OF being in the
Greedy Arctic relief expedition n
number Of years ago
Mr. Larson is q very interesting
talker and he related tales Of the trip
that were OF much interest 10 thote
who heard him. lie was a clerk on
board the cutter on the trip north.
