Jack Fowler Believed
To Have Met Death By
Drowning In Stikint

Reports brought here by captain
Hill Darlington, Of the Hazel ID No.
3, about the finding OF aack
Fow Ier's skiff in a slough above the
Great Glacier. have aroused fears
that this veil known resident Of
the Lower Stikine might have lost
his life. According to Captain Bar
rington. Fowler had been several
days overdue from a beaver trap
ping trip. The Hazel B, upon hear
ing this news, stopped near the en-
trance 10 the slough and sent out
a search party. Fowler's boat was
found but no sign OF the trapper
His rifle and some other equipment
were still in the boat.
ia k Fowler was a veteran sour
dough- having come to the Cassiar
before tie Klondike rush. Fer a
number OF years he prospected in
the Lizard country. and was one Of
the little group of miners who
stampeded to the Nahanni river
about 1910. shortly after word was
received in Telegraph Greek that
coarse gold had been found by the
Indians on a tributary of the Ma
hauni
About ten years ago. Fowler quit
the interior country and established
his home at the mouth of Hot
Springs Slough. directly across the
river from Great Glacier He lived
there for two or three years and
then moved to the glacier side Of
the Stikine to start a fur ranch. He
was moderately successful in rails
ing mink Il pens. and also as a
beaver trapper on his registered
ground above the gla Ter.
Mrs. Annie Fowler. who is Native
of the Cassiar. is searching for her
husband. aided by Tom Elliot and
Mike Williams. who have adjoining
trapping grounds. The rising river
leaves little hope for the recovery
OF the body if the unfortunate man
5 drowned.
AIr. Fowler is survived by a
daughter in Tacoma and her sons,
kenyon Halverson of Wrangell and
Sidney Haiyorson OF Ketchikau.

Telegraph Creek Will
Have Radio Station

Plans for a government wireless
station to be located at Telegraph
Creek, 167 miles up the Stikine
river in British Columbia have
been approved by the Dominion
Telegraph officials, and some OF
the material to be used in construc-
ton of the station went up on the
last trip of the Hazel B No. 3. ac-
cording TO A. W. H. Smith, local
agent for the Darlington Transpor-
tation company.
No details were available, other
than that work on the new station
would start soon, and that it was
hoped to establish communication
with other Dominion and Alaska
stations this winter. II is reported
that the present telegrapher, Mr..
James Jackson, who has been in
charge OF the Telegraph Greek dis
trict for several years, will have
charge of the new communications.
He IS said to be an experienced ra-
do telegrapher as we'll as a Morse
operator.
Historic System
The Dominion Telegraph line,
hieh ct present spans some eight
or nine hundred miles of wilder
ness, has a colorful history, as most
Nrangell citizens will remember.
The line was started shortly after
the United States purchased Alaska
from Russia Soon after this the
Western Union Telegraph company
proposed TO build a telegraph line
which would connect the eastern
and western hemispheres. Explor-
ers set out to survey a route
through British Columbia and Alas
ka to Cape Nome, where a short
submarine cable was to span the
so miles of Boring strait to Siberia.
The line was actually begun and
the wire was strung as far as the
Stikine river when word of the
successful operation of the Allan
tic cable was received at Telegraph
Greek. Apparently there was no use
to continue the line into an unex-
plored sub-Arctic wilderness where
only nomad Indians and a handful
of white prospectors were to be
found, so the wire was allowed to
gather rust and the moose to push
over the slender poles as they
scraped the velvet from their horns
in the summer.
In 1898, soon after the reports
