IS IT A SUBMARINE
DISTURBANCE?
Word comes down by mad

j alnrs are of the opinion that
{there has been a sub-marine or
iseismic disturbance of some
j|:iud. They base their opinion
on the fact that the cable does
o! appear to be cut or ground
but simply refuses to work.
I* is not known what condi

ANOTHER CONCRETE BUILDING FOR
Except that the contract for
tlie construction of the build
ing has not been actually sign
ed. still it is practically assur
ed that Ketchikan is to have an
other concrete building. It
will be erected by the North
land Dock company on the
property bounded by the Hene
ghan building on the north
front street on the east, the
Daly building on the south, and
Strong's dock oil the west, tt
will be of the latest reinforced
concrete construction, four
stories in height on PronJ
street and live stories from the
wharf. The lower or base
ment story will be used for
warehouse purposes and f.o
house cold storage machinery.
The street floor will be divid
er into four rooms for store
purposes, while the three up
per shorig* will be used for
cold storage,
company is being organs
ized to lease the three upper
glories and part of the base
ment for ice making and cold
[storage, the intention being not
io go into the fish buying bus
iness, but rather to keep bad.
tr.Nes and ice for the fishing
loots and to furnish cold stor
rge facilities for any com
panies which may desire to do
a fish business here. The
stock for this latter plant has
1 con subscribed, and the con
cern intends to be ready for
business this coming winter.
The installation of such r.
plant will he a big feather in
t.ie cap* of Ketchikan as it will
guarantee her remaining the
fishing center oi till Mouth
eastern Alaska. The fish com
panies of the Sound have stat
ed that they would put in buy
iris here is they could be as
sured of Hcrwfflpipdfptipns,
fits will fill the bill.
Fishermen state that more
fislj h;is been offered to the
New England plant this last
month than it could furnish ice
end cold storage for and ad
c.tional facilities must be pro
dded to take care of the catch
c tiered.
)t js with a realization of
these conditions that the new

the cold storage company or
ganized. Fair dividends are
I promised and the benefit to
the town is almost beyond
(.imputation.

THE FOURTH OF J U LY AT KASAAN
CONTRIBUTED
The people of Kasaan and
some 200 neighbors celebrated
July Fourth in a manner un
surpassed by any town of its
size in Alaska. There was
something doing from the time
the peel of the big guns drove
(be slumbering citizens from
tIn'ir pallets at 4:30 in the
morning until the last strain of
the waltz in the town hall sank
i'Ho oblivion, and the caldron
of good fellowship and patrio
tism Unbilled ever during tin?
entire day. When the smoke
bad cleared away, Adam Bry
ant—who is so old that he
swears he resided in these
parts Jipi'urp (budhquakes were
heard of—remarked that never
ui the history of Kasaan had he
seen such a day of peal fun and
fungeniality and he promises
that next Fourth he will be \
mong the contestants for prizes
himself.
Five hundred tilikums listen
ed to the words of vyisdetn that
Mr. W|v\, Pmigrd got off his
chest and his speech on “If:
idopendence” was the feature
of the continual round of
pleasure. He said in part.. “I
am proud to see that the white
people of Kasaan have com
bined with the Native people
and that they have the loyalty
and patriotism to meet as one
in celebrate this 121st anni
versary of our Indepenednce
and no effort is being spared
to make this celebration in the.
same spirit as that- promulgated
by our Forefathers in eighteen
hundred and twenty six.” His
words touched the hearts of
the gathering and the sound of
the applause that greeted him
as he left the platform was on
ly equalled by the roar of the
cannonade that lifted the cur
tain on the day’s enjoyment.
The Rev. Geo. Eaton then took
tne stand and gave a very able
speech mingled with hymns
sung by all with a splendid
rendition of the “Star Spang
led Banner” by the Kasaan
Band. He too was cheered to
the echo.

The parade of 25 power hoat.>
m the harbor preceding the
races was a very beautiful:
sight and will not be forgotten.
[The boat races were all! sc.
[close that a “biscuit could
have been tossed between any
of the leaders.” The most ex
citing finish was furnished by
the Kasaan and the Liltly Glory
jt|;e later winning by a quarter
[length. Among the other win
ners were the Active, Penscola,
nml Mr. Taylor’s boat. The pie
eating contest was a thriller
from the first mouthful and Al
beit Nelson won by a swallow.
Wm. Irvine was first in the
10C yard dash and Edward
Pee! finished in front in the
sack race. Eliza Btinard furn
ished a sensation in the 50
yard cash, but the real fool
race of tne day was the fat
mens, bet ted by Geo. Eaton
will. Billy Cockrell steaming in
a close second. The tug-of
war was a :.jg in every sense
of I he word rnd after a hard
pull of 37 minute* did the op
pustiioii give way to the efforts
of Capl. E. A. Gn -rafson’s team
The Japanese gave an exhi
h-tion of the art of grappling
that was interesting and excit
ing. The hall game was won
hv the Giants by the score of
1 hi 3 Jack Gustafson driving
lh.‘ winning run over in the lasl
‘•f I he tenth.
The dance in the town had
was thoroughly enjoyed by all
nnd not until the clock tolled
twelve and festivities were muf
ifled to: a whisper did . tbe;-en
thusiasm subside and* the citi
z'*i:s cease their zealous display
of real American spirit and w.
liirn to their ‘homes with" a
feeling oi a day well spent and
oil;* rhdfe glorious Fourth ad
ded to" the annals of lime.
