Alaskan Girl Is
Heroine Is Claim
l)r. J. H. Condit of Juneau, su
perintendent of ttie Presbyterian
Board of Mission* is now at Seattle,
having arrived on the Victoria. Sep
tember J 4th from Nome. Dr. Con
dit was interviewed by a represent
ative of the Seattle Star and told the
following story of * native Alaskan
heroine:
Perhaps the most popular passen
ger on the steamship Victoria, which
arrived In Seattle, September 14.
from Nome, was little Mary Buck,
a 14-vear-olii crippled Indian girl.
Mary, whose Indian name is Iggi
yuk, was one of the party of five In
Indian school at Chemawa. Oregon
Indian school at Chemewa. Oregon.
Her story is told by- Dr. James H.
Condit, superintendent of the Pres
byterian Roard of Home Missions
for Alaska.
"Mary's troubles began in the fali
of 1919," said Dr. Condit. "She
was living at Rocky Point, nine
miles from Nome, with her father
and mother, two brothers and a sis
ter. Shortly after the last trip of
the steamship Victoria the Influen
za broke out in Nome and (he sur
rounding country. More than one
half of the Eskimo population died
There were left seventy-five fla or
phans. among them Mary.
"When a relief party entered the
home of Mary's parents they found
them dead and the four children
huddled together in one bed The
weather was very cold. It was in
the dead of winter. Mary, ihen 12.
and an older brother, had taken off
most of their own clothes and wrap
ped them about the two smaller
children. The brother died a short
time later from the effects of the
cold and Mary's leg was frozen and
had to be amputated above the
knee.
"Mary was taken to live with hor
grandmother at Mountain Village
but finally the government teacher
put her on a barge and sent her
down the river. The girl had pra.
ticallv no clothing and an old sour
dought at Mountain Village gave
her $20 to purchase some.
Mary was supplied with crutches
when her leg was amputated but
these are too short now and hav,
been broken several times. Dr
Condit brought the little girl's cas.
to the attention of the passenger
and they took up a collection of
$105 to buy her an artificial limb

FILM YA1.PK7.
C. S. Homer of Eaton Rapid*.
Mich., and H. X. Nelson, of Detroit.,
arrived in Valde* Sunday from in
terior points, in one of fiibson's
cars, driven by Ray Hoyt. While
here they took several reels of film
of scenes about the town, and Tues
day spent the day at the bake
stream securing several reels of
game and fish pictures. Thursday
morning they left on the Mary El
len for Columbia glacier, and thence
will go to Cordova, where thty mill
take ihe Alameda for the Stmes
Messrs. Homer and Nelson have
been in the Kantishna district,
where they spent two months tak
ing moving pictures of animal life
in that region which they will later
release in the form of a series of
educational pictures for use in the
puhlic schools
The two men left Whitehorse in
June, taking pictures of the White
Tass railway, the Yukon, and differ
ent towns along the way. Vpon ar
rival at Nenana they secured the
services of Charles Ingersoll and .loe
Clark, with Elam Harnish as guide,
and journeyed into the hills for the
purpc.te of securing sheep pictures.
Mr. Nelson stated that it rained
nearly every day they were out, and
that the mosquitoes and flies w«re
so numerous as to make the trip un
comfortable. They ohtafned some
splendid pictures of game and birds,
with close-ups of ptarmigan and
crayling. which they caught by
hand. The ptarmigan became so
tame hy freonent handling that they
were a pest. Many caribon and
moose were seen and the party had
fresh meat in abundance. Mr. Nel
son stated that the caribou came
within fifty feet of his camera, and
that he had no difficulty in killing
meat needed, with a Lugar pistol
The party had no exciting adven
tures. seeing no bears and baring
the wet weather and insects, had a
very fine trip.
Mr. Horner is a woolen manufac
turer of Eaton Rapids, while Mr
Nelson is an experienced camertr.an.
having started Henry Ford's Week
ly and other film specials.
Specimens of the pictures taVen
here will he sent to the Chamber of
Commerce in about a year, or per
haps less.—Valdez Miner.
