ANOTHER SIDE
TO I HE STORY
Editor Progressive-Miner:’
With your permission, is the
position of the present city council
wholly fair, in the matter of the
construction of street connection
with li.e Charcoal Point road? This
matter, gauged by curtvnt opinion,
is of greater importance than any
other contemplated (or should be)
improvement of the town. The con
struction of the Charcoal Point
road was secured through a pe
tition gene-rously signed by the peo
ple, setting forth the great neces
sity of this improvement. It has
been built to the city limits and
now. it seems, because a few prop
erty owners for a short distance
along this much needed street, do
not come forward with a petition
asking for it. the whole population
to the west of town, and the best
welfare of they city in general,
must suffer-frora this failure. Who
can force the construction of this
much needed street, if not the
council ? If, as is claimed, there
are a few so blind to their own
interests and the welfare of the
town, as to refuse to petition for
the street, is such an improvement
to be held up indefinitely?
Aside from the many settlers re
siding along t^? line of the road,
there are such improvements as the
cannery and ship yard, already as
sured, and it opens the w-ay for
others sure to follow, and the nar
row foot walk now in use, is be
coming very dangerous.
The present Council has inaug
urated some good substantial street
improvement, for which they are
entitled to full credit, but it seems
to me that the delay in the con
struction of a street or roadway
to connect with the Charcoal Point
road, is a mistaken policy, highly
detrimental to the best interests of
our town

MRS. STENSLAND IN TOWN.
Mrs. Theodore Stensland, from
Moria Sound, on the left arm of
Prince of Wales island, arrived in
town yesterday on the gas boat
Selma, and will remain until the
next trip of the mail boat to Dolomi.
Mrs. Stensland reports that there
is twelve feet of snow on the arm
at this time, and that they have
had a stormy winter. They had
to melt snow for several weeks, the
supply of water from the creek
having been frozen for that time.
Mr. Stensland is employed by
the S. G P. Packing Company, and
during the winter was in charge of
the store. The company has had
a large cannery tender built that
is expected any day. The tender
was named “Starcol" with Henry
Stensland as captain.
Speaking of hunting, Mrs. Stens
land said that anybody looking for
wolves would find all they wanted
in that vicinity. They noticed a
bunch of about twenty-five one
Sunday not long ago, roving along
the beach- She says they often
come near their home at nights and
howl.
The crew for the cannery is ex
pected soon and the work will com
mence in earnest. Thus far, the
few men employed there have been
doing repairs preparatory to the
opening of the season.

HOW A FIRE MAY BE MADE
WITH A PIECE OF ICE
Lighting a fire with a piece of j
; ice isn't any trick at all. but has 5
: been shown to be a profoundly !
| scientific performance which can be
| duplicated by anybody who will j
; find the right sort of ice, fashion
it into the right shape and use it j
[ on the right kind of a day. The
essentials are close at hand any j
: clear winter morning.
First you must have clear pure i
! ice. Strange to say natural ice is j
j better than artificial ice. Knock off ’
a piece and whittle it roughly in :
the shape of a double convex lens
A double convex lens is a lens that
bulges at both sides- The chunk of j
. ice will do the same thing as the
bit of glass and do it quicker.
Cut your piece of ice into a rough
flat shape somewhat bigger and j
about the shape of a silver dollar, j
Then take it in the palm of vour
, hands and by the heat of your hands :
applied to the edges of the ice make j
Lit in the shape of a big lens. The •
tongue is the best tool with which
to shape the lens as it approaches ;
perfection and also has the advan- .
tage of polishing the ice so as to
prevent refraction or loss of the di- j
rection of the sun rays.
Then hold the ice lens the proper
focal distance from a bit of thin tis- j
sue paper and let the warm rays of j
the sun find sharp focus on to the
paper through the ice lens. Hold it •
a few seconds in the right position j
and you will see first a tiny waft of j
smoke ascending from the point of >
the rays as they touch the paper, j
Then will come the fire which you
can blow into a flame- And there j
you are—fire from ice!

HOW YOU CAN CATCH COLD.
In a comprehensive study of the I
causes of “catching cold” just made ■
bv Dr. C. M. Richter, it has been
determined that the quick wit ted .
and those who use their brains a
good deal catch cold much more
easily than those who do little brain |
work and are mentally slow.
Wherever a case was found of j
some one who was extremely suscep
tible to influenza or even simple ;
cold, either that person was engag
ed in some professional work or
there was considerable tax upon him
in factors- or in office, or else bis
work required some especially keen
exercise of the mind.
The mentally heavy, slow-goin.r ■
kind of person very rarely has a j
ct Id.
In working out this problem it ;
was found that resistance to cold is ;
no; so much a matter of wha. one
wears as of what one is. It is
those people who suffer most keen
ly when it is very cold or very hot, j
who have a headache when they
face a high wind, whose hair crack
les with electricity when they comb
it—in a word, those who are ner
vous and highly organized most
readily fall victims to the insidious
“colds in the head.”
A SUBJECT OF
IMPORTANCE
4p$HpPi
Editor Progressive-Miner,
Dear Sir:—
In re Cliff Avenue: Over a year
'.go, a petition was presented to
:e council asking for the immed
iate construction of Cliff Avenue.
This petition was signed by over
fifty per cent of the voters of Ket
chikan. A resolution was passed
to the effect that the city -would
build the Cliff Avenue as soon as
the Charcoal Point road was com
pleted. This resolution was wired
to both members of the legislature ]
then in session at Juneau, and was !
an important factor in shaping leg- I
islation.
Cliff Avenue is 950 feet long. ;
There are 17 lots divided among 12
individual owners. The first lots j
(291 ft) are of such a nature as !
to be practically valueless after a ,
25-foot right-of-way is taken off.
On the 6th lot—60 ft.—a 2-story
house has been constructed on the
line of the street. This house has
been built since the town was
patented, and being located between
the meander line and the end of
the lots, is undoubtedly on city
ground. The last two lots, 136 feet,
are under option to the lighthouse
department. A slight change to
conform with their requirements is
necessary.
Several months ago, this matter
was taken up with the department. :
Two plans were proposed and the
matter placed in the hands of those
most directly interested. If any con- I
elusion has been reached, it is un
known to the writer. Thus 486
feet of frontage out of 950 feet in
unavailable on the required petition.
From that, it will be seen that
Cliff Avenue cannot be constructed
under the customary- requirements I
of the council- It is imperative i
that other methods be adopted. The '
road commissioner for this district I
has completed a 2000 foot road in I
a most substantial manner, and is i
about to extend the same to the :
wireless station. A short distance j
beyond, a two line cannery is in !
course of construction; and a ship- i
yard and ways will also be installed I
at ah early date. About 300 people j
are living in the territory affected 1
to whom a trip to town is a cour
ageous act.
In the opinion of the writer, the
present council cannot complete
their term of office and leave an
enviable record until the pledge that
Ketchikan made to Alaska is ful
filled. Respectfully,
EDW. BROW>«
