‘The Kusko Times/
as Viewed By a Staid
Michigan Publication
Clinton (Mich. Local.)
A few days-ago The Local received a
le’tter from William Schnierla, a for
mer Clinton boy. who is now located at
Qphir, in Northern Alaska. He also
enclosed a couple of copies of the Kusko
Times, printed at McGrath, Alaska.
Mr.-Schneiria’s letter follows:
"On last week’s mail we received
issues of The Local dated January 6
and 13, and while reading them
thought perhaps our local paper might

be of interest for comparison, so I am
enclosing a couple of copies.
•‘The machinery anti entire printing
outfit was freighted two hundred miles
in midwinter—from Ruby, on the
Yukon, to McGrath, on the Kuskokwim
river—entirely by dog team, the first
issue being published January 19. With
the exception of the publication at
Nome, this paper has the entire west
half of Alaska for a field, its nearest
rivals in the newspaper world being
published at Nenana and Anchorage,
either of which are three hundred
miles distant.
“Please compare size and subscrip
tion price with The Local. I have un
derscored some of the advertisements
; in which you will find reference to ac
j commodations for dogs, and moshers
are men who travel on foot; also tbe
kind of meats served in the roadhouses.
“I mav add that A. X. Grant, the
owner and publisher, is a Michigan
man, coming from Bay City.”
i Tbe paper is a four-column one of
four pages, is issued twice a week—on
Wednesday and Saturday—and con
tains a good amount of news, both local
and general It is well patronized by
advertisers. The subscription price is
$2 per month.? ,
The advertisements Mr. Schnierla
refers to sound queer to Michigan peo
ple. One reads: "Pioneer Roadhouse,
South Fork—Seward-lditarod Trail.
Plenty of Dog Feed. Antelope and
Ibex always on tap In season, moun
tain sheep,. wild moose and grizzly
bear. Don’t forget to look in and see
the man who blazed the trail for you
over Rainy Pass. Call in at Hellsgate
and get your bearings.”
Another advertisement runs like
this: "Charlie’s Laundry—Shoe re
pairing, Sign PaintiDg, Paperhang
ing.”
Altogether it is an interesting little
sheet, and a credit to the editor.
Sitka is boosting for the capital of
Alaska to be moved to Seward, believ
ing that if that happened Sitka would
again be put on the regular route of
travel by the steamers.
The Sitka Sun says that one of the
most extraordinary freaks of hendom
is a small chick hatched by Anton
Sherigan and donated by him to the
paper, the chick having three eyes,
two noses and one beak. It lived but
