A BIG FLEET
V careful count was made uf
ti e number of gasboats in the
l, arbor Friday night, which re
sulted in 170 being listed.
While we had always known
•hut Ketchikan had some gas
boat fleet, still nobody had had
the temerity to e\en suppose
that there were more than 150.
As there are at least thirty or
forty others not in for the

vi' have 200 power boats of
\arious sizes making their head

IT WAS SOME CELEBRATION
I While the weather wasn't
ail it might have been the first
day, still taken as a whole, the
celebration la<t Friday and Sal
, urday, July ith and 5th, was a
l.ummer, so that everybody,
big or little had a good time.
Our two musical organiza
tions—the Ketchikan Firemen’s
Feud and the Native Band—vied
' with each other Friday morn
ing in turning out first class
music which was thoroughly
qpreciated, after which the
youngsters had their innings
on Market street in their games
of which the following were
I ho events and first place win
ners:
Camel Race, Clark and Gut
ti'dge large boys, Howard and
Moses, smaller.
Tug of War, Kelchikan team
consisting of Bryant, Spaeth.
Guitridge, lloadley, Clark and
Baker, winning over Native
team.
Skipping contest won by
Georgia Shock.
50 yard dash, small boys,
won by Raymond Curtiss.
175 yard run, Clark winner.
Three legged race, Clark and
lloadley.
50 yard dash, girls, Esther
Clark.
The nail driving contest was
one of the closes events of the
day, Johnson and Lettish tying.
They Hun tried a second time
for half a minute and tied 'x
gain, so the money was equally
divided between them.
Winnifred Raber won the po
talo race easily, finishing the
“kid" events.
Shortly after one o’clock oc
curred one of the most novel
stunts ever pulled off in Alaska
demonstrating how a deep sea
diver is dressed and works.
Capt. Henry Fink, Jr., who hap
pened to be in the city on his
way south from the Curacao
w reck was the man who show
ed how it was done to the gen
eral interest of the crowd.
The rain and wind of the
afternoon effectually put a
dampener on the events for the
balance of the day.
Saturday the weather man
experienced a change of heart,
for the day was an ideal one.
The first event was a match
baseball game between Metla-;
knhila and Ketchikan, won by!
live latter with a score of six to
one.
The athletic events followed,
the obstacle race was won by
Mesford. Oiiver Field captured
the 100 yard and 220 dash and
the swimming race. The re
lay race was won by DeBar, the
hop, slop and jump by Wil
cox. ihc shot put by Delaney,
t*10 high jump by Milligan, the
javelin (hrow by DeBar, and
the standing broad jump by
Delaney. B. Ilenrickson in a
contest which shook up the
foundations of Mission street
won the 50 yard fat men’s race
The native boys proved too
much for the white boys at
baseball, the score being some
. Iiing awful.
The best and most evenly
contested gas boat races were
pulled off during the after
noon. and certainly reflect cred
it on the boats, their owners
r.nd the committee in charge.
The prettiest race was between
the Gray, W. N., Oceanic and
Dawn, which finished in the
order named. At no time dur
ing the contest was the race as
sored to any one of the three
leading boats, as they all fin
ished within twenty seconds of
each oilier. The course for all
li:e power boats was around
bouy No. 4 off Charcoal point,
thence to the black buoy off
the head of Pennock, thence a
round a boat anchored in front
of the old city float, and re
peat.
The races, winners and time
were:
Speed boats—Ingersoll’s “Suf
f rage tie" first, Verne Petty'.:
‘T'ijer” second. Time 20 min
cites.
Work boats—14-10 horse
power—Gray first, W. N. sec
ond Time 30 minutes.
Small launches—Lyle Blod
gett first, Chee Chako second,
tune it minutes.
Work boat, 20 h. p.—Sunrise
first, Winnie se'cond, time 34
minutes.
Work boats, 25 to 30 h. p.—
Red Wing first, Rough Rider
second, time 32 t-2 minutes.
The course was between six
and seven miles.
The double scull race was
won by Peter Johnson and pari
i.er, while Ed. Rodel left Foord
llu* plumber wiping a joint in
t.'.e single scull race, winning
easily.
Owing to lack of entries, the
log rolling contest was not
pulled off.
As neither Kasaan nor Metla
kahlta appealed for the second
gaseball game it was not held,
and owing to the accident on
Mission street resulting in the
fracturing of the leg of Ben
Kah.de, the hose races were
called off.
You cannot get a good weather and waterproof roof for your
building from a poor roofing.
0
The roof of your building is the most important part of it
and unless your roofing is right, there will be no
peace of mind for those who live under it
A roof that leaks causes no end of trouble,
beside a lot of damage.
The best way to protect yourself from these unnecessary
troubles, is to use Malthoid Roofing.
The makers of Malthoid Roofing guarantee it to be a
perfect roofing—to give satisfaction and to last as long
as the building it covers, provided it is properly laid
and ordinary care is taken of it.
Twenty-eight years of experience enables The Paraffine Paint Co.,
of San Francisco and Chicago Heights to
guarantee Malthoid Roofing under these conditions.
To be absolutely sure that you have no roofing troubles, buy
Malthoid and lay it properly
