MINING MAN DEAD
Word comes from the south
on the May of the death in
Canada of J. L. Parker the min
ing man. Mr. Parker was gen
era! manager of the Brown
Alaska and Alaska Smelting &
Refining companies at Hadley,
during the boom days of that
camp. He had a host of freinds
in this locality who will greive
to hear of his death, which oc
curred after a protracted ill
ness.
RESCUES LOST STEEL
While the Alki was in port
last night, Charles Stigor, one
of the divers who had been
working on the Curacao, who
was on board, donned his div
ing outfit and went down be
neath the Northland Dock and
fished out several pieces of
the steel of the Marcoini Wire
less Company’s tower which
went through the dock while
being unloaded. It was dark
at the time, and the water was
fully fifty feet where the steel
was lying, but he apparently
experienced no difficulty in
locating same and bringing it
to the surface.

CURACAO READY
TO BE RAI8ED
Recent arrivals from the
West Coast state that the
wreck of the steamer Curacao
has been gotten into such
shape that no difficulty will be
experienced in raising her on
the big tides next month. Div
er Sliger states that she rests
on the beach at her bow and
stern, her amidships being
clear of the ground to such an
extent that a man can walk be
neath her keel. The holes in
her hull have been patched and
calked and as soon as the
scows and chains are in posi
tion she will be raised and
floated over to a good beach
where she will be put in shape
to be taken south for drydock
ing.
Didn’t N«ed the Hoe.
Some time ago a hobo meekly tapped
on the back door of a suburban home
and asked for something to eat. The
good housewife responded that she
would feed him on the back step along
with Fido provided he was willing to
earn the meal by cleaning out the gut
ter.
The tramp agreed, and when he had
eaten his way through several sand
wiches the housewife came out with
a reliable looking hoe.
“You needn't have gone to that trou
ble, madam,” said tbe hobo. "I never
use a hoe in cleaning out a gutter.”
“Never use a hoe!” said the woman.
“What do you use, then, a shovel?”
“No, madam,” sweetly replied the
hobo, starting for the back gate, “my
method is to pray for rain.”—Boston

NO FISHING GOING
ON AT FORRESTER
Owing to the inability of the
fishermen and buyers at For
rester Island to reconcile their
differences, no fish are being
taken at that place. The buy
ers offer $1.00 each for all red
fish of twenty pounds or over,
thirty cents for small red fish,
and 20 cents for the whites.
Tlie fishermen want $1.00 for
all red fish, and 30 cents for
the whites. The condition of
the mild cure market is such
at this time that the packers
cannot afford to pay the price
demanded by the fishermen,
so ore not putting any fish up,
and the probabilities are that
unless the fishermen come to
the packers prices no fish will
be mild cured from Forrester
Island this season.
