A most, interesting visitor, Elea

week in McGrath. I ,
Though nearing his seventieth birfcti
day, Mr. Scberbakoff looks just a trifle
over fifty, and is still an -active man,
acting as engineer on the steamer Tc
Ojtna.
He was born at Old Andreaofski sta
tion in 1851, and as a boy traveled up,
and down the Yukon on the Russian
steamers which came each summer
with supplies for the Russian stations
along the river He was in St. Michael
when the U. S. steamer George Wrig-ht,;
Capt. Heinig, came to raise the United
States Flag after the purchase. »of
Alaska from Russia, in 1867.
Later, Mr. Scherbakoff worked with
the crews surveying telegraph routes,
raising poles, etc., in the project to
connect Europe-Asia and America by
telegraph, the intention being to lay a
cable across Bering-strait. When the
news came that the laying of the At
lantic cable had been successful, the
work ic Alaska was discontinued.
About twenty-five years ago Mr.
ScherkabolT moved to the Kuskokwim,
where he was for eleven years master
of the church at Russian Mission. He
was well known for the fine sled dogs
he •raised during that time. He now
lives about six miles above .Napaiuute,
where he and h46 wife -devote the j

garden which surrounds their home.
