The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1913-02-18

Wada, the intrepid Japanese mush-
err, was in town yesterday on his way
to the states from the Kuskokwim
country and the Idirarod. He reports
that G.. C. Chittick and John Kesler
lost their lives in the Happy river re-
gion, while enroute from Seward to
the Iditarod. On the marning of
January 27, the wo men, with a dog
team, set out from Anderson's road
house, on Happy river, snroute to the
interior gold camp. On February Z,
while Anderson was cutting wood,
four dogs, in harness, appeared, and
Anderson recognized the animals as
belonging to Chittick and Kesler.
One of the dogs, the leader, led him
to snow drift about two miles from
his roadhouse. The dog refused to
go further and Anderson came to the
conclusion that the dead men must
be lying beneath the pile of snow.
He fastened home, and the next day
set out for Sustitna, the nearest set
tdement, for the purpose of obtaining
aid. A. A. Chittick, brother of
the lost man, lives at Susitna. Head
ed by him party of four set out in
search of the missing ones.

There's a man called Ed. Jerm who
springs into the spotlight with story
OF Alaska fauna in the Tanana val
ley, which amounts to something.
He is working quartz prospect on
upper Chatanika and when on his
way up at the present time, says he
was surrounded by herd of 5000
caribou and had a hard time getting
out of the antlered mob. The man
says he stood still to watch them
pass, and behold they surrounded
him to watch him what he was up
to. They were quite tame and did
not modest him.
A moose made heroic effort one
day last month to save it's life Will
trying to cross the Kenai river. For
an hour and half it struggled to
get foothold on solid ice or reach
shore, but exhaustion came on and
it was compelled to abandon the
struggle. AS a. humane act, a bullet
from the gun of a local guide ended
its suffering and life.

R. w. Baxter, vice president and
operating head of the Alaska Steam
ship Company and Copper River &
Northwestern railway, was an arrival
in Cordova on last nights steamer.
Mr.. Baxter is here on his annual tour
of inspection of the properties under
his direction and for the further pur-
pose of seeing the new superintendent
of the railroad company, Caleb Cor
ser, installed. Mr.. Corser was also
a passenger on the Northwestern,
having come direct from Minneapolis
where he has been visiting his par
Ients.
Mr.. Baxter is optomistic as to the
future of Alaska and expressed him.
self as being well satisfied with the
effort that is being made by the en-
ployes of the company to open up the
line, which he believes will be ac-
Icomplished within the next few deys.
He has recently returned from a trip
to New York and says the sentiment
back East has completely changed in
reference to Alaska, there being a
general demand that the government
enact legislation that will permit of
the opening up of the resources of the
territory.
Mr.. Baxter has business engage
ments at Juneau and Skagway and is
undecided as to just how long he can
remain in Corova. He is very an
xious to make trip over the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad, in
order to personally inspect existing
conditions, and will do so if he de-
cides to remain here until the steam
er Mariposa sails south.
Mr.. Corser will not enter actively
upon his new duties as superinten-
dent Geiger's successor until the lat
ter leaves ON the steamer Northwest
ern for the states, where he goes to
recuperate his health. Mr.. Corser
has been identified with the company
since the line was constructed and at
TIE time of his promotion held the
position of Division Engineer. He is
man of considerable executive abil-
ity, who is well liked and held in the
highest esteem by the employees. Mr..
Corser stated that he had no an
nouncements to make at this time,
other than the fact that he appreci-
ated the work the men were doing
out the line and hoped to see an early
resumption of through traffic.
