WORK TO BEGIN
Word comes from Seattle
Dial A. W. Quist, the building
contractor, is busily pngaged
in getting together the material
for the concrete building the
Northland Dock Company will
erect on Front street across
from Zimmermans. Owing \n
the. diffliculty which has been
experienced in the past in se
curing suitable gravel and saml
for building purposes in this
region, it was thought at first
that it would be more econom
ical to haul the same up from
Prattle together with the other
building material. The inabil
11y of the company to secure a
Large for the work, however,
lies compelled a change in the
flans, and the gravel will be
secured here. Mr. Quist is ex
pected to come north within
the next ten days and will start

here that it is rich in minerals,

er the department order pro

casses would be in effect this

“Replying to your letter of

August 1st suspending sale of
cleer carcasses until August 15,

Governor Strong recently re
commended to the department
a continuance for another year
of (he closed season on the sale
of deer carcasses in Southeast
ern Alaska and the shortening
of the open season for moun
tain goats. The shortening of
1 lie season for mountain goats
is of importance in view of the
fact that not a few of these
