great credit- each boy and girl doing

SUMMER IS WITH US
In every direction there is evi
dence of “hustle and bustle” in car
rying on the spring work which has
opened up for all of us- Some are
planting vegetables, while others are
sowing flower seeds. Still others are
cleaning house, and some are “set
ting" eggs to raise chickens- The
air is balmy, and trees and shrub
bery have donned their lovely green
of spring, and the sun which has
been warming our backs recently, Is
making us ail happy..

BUSINESS RUSHING.
According to Mr. Patching, of the
Heckman dock, business is such as
to almost bury him in work, yet to
a casual observer, he does not seem
to be doing much- He said today
that the Spokane alone had over 120
tons of freight for Ketchikan. Con
sidering the number of boats dis
charging freight nearly every day
Mr. Patching says that is some work
--
On the Ketchikan wharf, can be
seen three large buoys, the govern
ment property destined for the
coast in the vicinity of Cordova
These buoys were too heavy, or too
cumbersome for the Kukui to take
and were left here to be shipped on
some of the Pacific Steamship com
pany's big freighters
