CiOV, RIG«S IiOOKIN'O AFTER
SITUATION AT KL'SKOKWIM
Gvo. Riggs, Jr., baa received a
telegram from United States Com
missioner William H. Whittlesey,
says the Juneau Empire, which Bays
there are 1,000 tons of freight at
Sviward that will not reach the Kus
kokwira and other outlying points
this year. Of this 650 tons con
stitute the cargo of the Ruby. Most
of the freight is food-stufs and
clothing.
It 18 feared the failure to make
th» delivery will make it necessary
for a great many of the poeple a"
long the Kuskokwim river to 'get
out o' the country to the coast.
Gov. Rlggs has been in telegraph
ic communiation with officials
along the coast of the country
heretofore subpMed by the Dora.
U a shortage, hut not a dangerous
situation as Dutch Harbor and Ko
d'ak has been taken care of.
Nothing more has been heard, of
the report that a revenue cutter
would make a trip to carry supplies
to those cut off by the withdrawal
of the Dora from the route. That
may yet prove a solution of the sit
uation.
