Kodia*. Sept. 1'J—Tilt* belief that '
Martin Iiofstead and Ins partner,
who left for Dry island in a dorv.
were lost, is unfounded; as passen
gers of a sloop recently arrived
from Afognnk, have seen a dorv
going to Baba Buehta. near Chin
ink JMiint, Kodiak island, and hy 1
description of said dory, it is safe
to say it is Mr. Hofstead and his
partite/.
The Newport had the following
passengers going westward: F. K. ]
Brown, superintendent of Unga
mine, with wife and daughter; J.j
Casey, a mining expert; II. Sever- j
son. owner of oil lands in Cold hay
and a few others.
I In* A. t. Cos schooner, St. Paul
leaves today with the popular
agent. Mr. A. (loss on hoard for
Afognnk. where he will install a
new Store-keeper. J. Nielsen. The
schooner will proceed as far as
Katniai. where the store-keeper A.
Petelin and his family will he tak
en on lxmrd. with remaining stores,
etc., and brought to Kodiak. This
takes away the only store in that
part of Alaska.
The Baptist Orphanage, oil \\ ood
island, is doing good work in this
part of Alaska, and deserves the
praise of all fair-minded people.!
And further, it should have a la t
ter support financially from sill i
philatu hropically inclined men.
not only in the States, hut right
here in Alaska.
It provides a home for numerous
needy little children, without dis
tinction as to age or sex. Besides
religious instruction, it does good
work practically in agriculture, i
cattle and poultry raising. Tlu v
have Angora goats, imported i> -
sian churches'Wild with tin-proceeds
feed the starving nutjik in Russia.

Kenai. Sept. 15—'The Kxeelsior
arrived here the afternoon of the
< th to load the remainder of the
salmon at the I*. 1*. * N. cannery
at this place. It seems superfluous
to add that the strongest hlow of
the season also arrived with her,
as she is considered hy everyone in
the Inlet to Ik- the forerunner of
stormy weather. The wind accom
panied liv occasional rain squalls,
lasted until the night of the 12th,
at which time she left for llliamnu.
The two tishing steamers. Salem
and Dunhury, which were used to
carry the cases to her. were twice
nearlv swamped.
Mr. mill Mrs. \V. liompcrtz,
with their daughter Kuth.anil Mrs.
K. F. Osliorn, took passage to Se
attle from here, as also iliil F. F.
Paget of Victoria. B. C., who has
• »eeii hunting, and Messrs. Weiss,
ilollihan. Sehwandt, l>unlap and
\\ hiteomh. who have lieeii at Klls
siloff lake, mining.
Baron tiusiav von Plessen. of
Munieli, was the onlv arrival for
Ken ai, having eoinefora sheep and
moose hunt. He started up Kt-nai
river with quite a retinue. Major
W . K. Lennox aeeoinpanied him as
ollieial guide and manager; W. B.
Sviioii tis chef de cuisine, heside
numerous native packers and ser
vants. He was greatly missed after
leaving the Isnit, as lie had lieen
niiieli in evidence while almard,
and the ship seemed quite lonely

ser Baker.

it is hoped they will turn out satis
factorily. Besides they salt tish,!
and have exported 120 barrels of
red salmon this season, and expect
to put uu more.
The superintendent, C. P. Coe,1
is a hard worker, also his wife, who
is not well at present, and Mrs. M.
lr. Campbell, their helper. Any
one visiting the mission >s greeted
sincerely by Mr. Coe; he gives a
hearty shake with his horny hand.1
and is a contrast to the ministers
of the gosjtel we read al>out. Be- j
sides supervising the affairs of the ;
mission, he does considerable man
ual laltor himself, and handles the
shovel or swings the axe with a
skill to put a pioneer to the blush.
Dr. C. K. Mills is also a nice and
Courteous gentleman. He is gov
ernment school teacher on Wood
island at present.
Any out' visiting the mission and
spending halt an hour or so among
happy and smiling children, with
all the hustle of a happy family
and courteous treatment, lie feels at
home and wishes them success.
A tine houncing girl, arrived at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. \V. J.
McDonnell, on Sept. 4th. The
mother and Why are doing well.
Mr. McDonnell, whose home is in

arily. He is :tn old-timer in this
part of Alaska. and secretary of the
Brotherhood of Alaska Pioneers.
The same (Htpular government
school teachers. Mr. Bunnell and
wife, are going to stay with us this
coming winter. They are very suc
cessful teachers and have doiteeon
siderahle good among the young
generation of this community, if
there were more such teachers in
other par>s of At as mi, there would
he no scarcity of patriotic citizens
among the native population of
Alaska.
As it ts at present, under the in
fluence of foreign Hussion priests,
the natives in out-ol-tile-way places
ure just as ignorant and supersti
tious as ever (although itussiamsm
has Wen taught lo them lor over
100 years.)

and Russia also, to - il their Kt.s

has had good tidings a Unit placer

Mr. l’asswater. from Ressurree

Messers. Davies and Welch, of
England, who have lieen hunting

Lyman M. Bass, u prominent
attorney iroin Buffalo, X. Y., who

in hunting through the country
around knik, and lately up the
Kenai river, has just returned with
handsome trophies of his mark
manship, in the sha|H‘ ot sheep and
moose horns. If he is as ap. at
tiring "hot shot” into his opjioueuts
in court as he is at tiring ride sito.s
! at game animals, he will have no
