They sailed on the Cordova.

Mr. John Grant, Inmachuk opera-1
tor. has returned from the hospital. TIis
Injury of last spring is mending nicely
and while as yet the aid of crutches is
s necessity, It Is only a matter of time
when his leg will be as sound as ever.
The season has been quite rainy,
which, with the melting snows, keeps
the low lands very wet, handicapping
freighting and furnishing great breed
ing places for mosquitos, which are
fiercer this summer than for a long
time past.
The big freighter Cordova arrived in
the roadstead on the 8th Inst. She
was unloaded and left for other points
on the sound on the 9th. A big bunch
of gold dust was intrusted to the agent,
Mr. Chas. T. Lyon, for conveyance to
Nome. Our operators are timid about
entrusting their treasure to thp small
boats that traffic between here and
Nome.
Paul Davidovich, the Kobuk steve
dore, came over recently with his
lighterage outfit and loaded the lum
ber snved from the school house, de
molished by order of the Dureatt of
Education, nnd conveyed it to the Ko
buk river. He will return for the lum
ber of the Eskimo igloos which have
also been torn down for removal to the
Kobuk.
We expected Instructions from head
quarters to go to work on our road
by the first mall, but the Instructions
did not materialize. While high river
crossings are holding freighting back,
owing to heavy rains, there are a num
ber of bad places along the line of toad
that should receive Immediate atten
tion. The longer repairs are delayed
the worse they will become.
Mr. ,1. F. McCulloch, superintendent
of the big F. M. Co. arrived from Nome
overland on horseback about the mid
dle of the month: he kindly brought
over our first class mall, for which we.
are duly grateful as otherwise we
should have been compelled to await
the arrival of the mail boat to hear
from our folks on the outside. The
great discoloration of the waters of the
sea oft the mouth of the river Is evi
dence that Mr. McCulloch has his hy
draulic plants tearing into the ground
with immense pressure from tho big
ditch. He has an abundance of water.
Dick Hammond, one of our fortunate
operators of last winter will take a run
to the outside this summer and look in
at the big fair and renew acquaintance
with the pretty girls, flowers and fresh
fruits of sunny California. It is
amongst the possibilities that Dick will
return with a "eooney.” Notwithstand
ing all the trials and tribulations he
has endured in Alaska he is a husky
lad yet.
The retiring manager, Mr. E. O. Pas
teris, and his successor, Mr. Ed. O. Mc
Clure, Inaugurated the change in man
agement of the Seward Hotel witli a.
splendid banquet, to which everybody
was invited and everybody who could
attend accepted the invitation and are ,
extremely glad they did, for it was a !
very enjoyable affair. Mr. McClure,
the new manager, ably demonstrated
his ability to keep up the reputation of
the Seward as a hostelry second to
'none in Alaska.
I
I
Frank McCoy, an old timer here, is
over from Dime Creek, tributary of
the Koyulc, where the recent strike was
made. Mr. McCoy has a number of in
terests there. While he thinks well of
that section nnd has great confidence
in its future, he is doing no boosting,
preferring that results speak for them
| selves. Mr. A1 Winkler of this place is
associated with Mr. McCoy and it is
for a consultation with his partner
that McCoy is here. He returns to
Dime Creek almost immediately. Mr.
Winkler may accompany him.
This spring's cleanups have been
eminently satisfactory to all concern
ed. The bunch of sourdoughs who won
out are truly deserving: they are all
oldtimers of Alaska and this section,
ami have tried and tried again, and
have finally landed the “bacon." Hiil'
none of them think of nuitling the
“game.” They are now sufficiently
well fixed to go to the outside and on- j
gage in some lucrative business, but j
tbev like the strenuous life of \i."l '|
and will remain and "blow back” in an •
endeavor to further develop the coun- |
try that lias been good to them Such I
Is the sourdough prospector.
We note in a recent Vn<ri*n» "> ■
Nome has a grievance aeatn*o u... "
O Department anent the summc s-r- |
vice. We of this section can semo’ • i
thiz.e with Nome. However the metro- ;
polis with its Chamber of Commerce,
and other influential organizations on" j
readily secure redress. We are con
fident the present administration de
sires to do right hv iis all and it is
only necessary to call attention of the
higher authorities to onerous condi
tions. to have them rectified. We have
| had occasion in the past to petition th*»
"higher-ups" on certain matters and
received prompt, courteous and satis
factory treatment.
The glorious Fourth was celebrated !
here with lots of noise. It being Sun
day it was a dry celebration, except for
copious downpour from the Heavens.
Harry P.ourn and Qeo. Wallin took the
lead in seeing that the day was pro
perly observed. They rustled up an
old Russian cannon (probably of the
• vintage of 1800) and about depleted
11 he store's stock of gunpowder. Charg
ing the old cannon with all the powder
it would hold, Wallin, expert powder
man, would touch It off, when would
follow a boom that we likened to the
big guns the Knlser uses, and the ra
pidity with which the boys served the
piece proved their familiarity with the
war game and must have resembled
somewhat the bombardment of Reims.
Many shotguns and rifles contributed
their voices to the celebration: and al
though It rained, flags decorated all the
business houses and some of the resi
dences. On the whole the day was ap
propriately observed in this little old
town.
