Big Crowd Which Attended Enter
tainment Last Night Were Pleased
With the Sports Offered.
That It was the best entertainment
ever offered in Valdez for the money
was the unanimous opinion of the big
crowd of men and boys who enjoyed
the smoker and entertainment given
by the patrons of Everyman’s Club
house last night in agle hall. The
price of admission was only 50 cents
for nearly three hours of clean amuse
ment.
The main attractions on the pro
gram were boxing and wrestling
matches between local mon and the
participants were roundly cheered
when they gained an advantage over,
their opponents. There had been xon
siderable speculation as to the out
come of the boxing matches between
Johnny Kacerosky vs. Kickapoo Zha
roff. and between Peter Korth vs. Em
met Egan.
The Kacerosky-Kickapoo bout was
for three rounds, the former getting
the decision. When time was called
Kickapoo mixed things pretty lively
with his opponent and at the close
of the first round he apparently had
the best of the go. Kacerosky show
ed the advantage of experience and
permitted his opponent to tire him
self out. Then he had things all his
own way.
The five round go between Peter
Korth and Emmet Egan proved a
draw. Both boys showed training and
displayed considerable headwork. Af
ter the first mixup, in which Egan
was the aggressor, it was a case of
give and take. Egan showed more
speed and science, but his opponent
had the advantage of extra weight
and strength Peter would be able
to give a good account of himself
if carefully trained, as he is cool and
displays judgment in mixups.
Every number on the program was
good and was enjoyed by the big
audience. The intermissions between
the athletic events were filled with
music, recitations and songs. The an
nouncement. of Rev. Ziegler that an
other entertainment of a similar na
ture would be given in about three
weeks was greeted with cheers.
The program was as follows:
Introduction—Joe Wachter.
Violin selection—Rudolph.
Battle Royal—Four Valdez youths,
Charlie Johnson, Alaska gan. Georg?
Swanson and Harry Carter participat
ing. This was a Donnybrooke affair,
the rule being to hit a head, no mat

Cruiser Wilt Take Aboard 900 Tons of
Matanueka Coal—Will Bring
Barges From Katalla.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, of
April 1, gives the following1 account
of the proposed trip to Alaska of the
American cruiser Maryland:
"The armored cruiser Maryland,
Commander Philip Andrews com
manding, will arrive at the Bremer
ton navy yard upon the completion of
her repairs at Mare Island. At this
yard the cruiser will lake on a full
load of fuel coal and proceed to Con
troller bay, Alaska.
"At Controller bay there are two
large barges hauled up on the bank
at Chilkat, near Katalla. The Mary
land will hoist these barges on board
and steam to the head of Cook Inlet
and take on board approximately 900
tons of Matanuska coal, which has
been transported from the coal beds
at Ivnik, at the head of Cook Inlet.
"The Maryland is then under orders
to make a series of complete and ex
haustive tests on the Matanuska coal,
which it is claimed is far superior to
that formerly tested by the Navy de
partment,. Claimants for the value
of Alaska coal for use of the navy
have entered a protest against the
recent adverse decision of the de
partment in th-t they claim the coal
tested last year by the Maryland had
been exposed to the elements for a
considerable time and was mixed with
rock and dirt in the careless sacking
of it.
“The Maryland has instructions to
be at the head of Cook Inlet by June
1 in order that all the tests requir
ed may be completed by August, when
the Maryland will be called upon to
convey the submarine tender Alert
and the newly designated flotilla that
is to be stationed at Pearl harbor.
The submarines comprising the flo
tilla will be the F type, two of which
were constructed in Seattle.”
NATIVES ARE IN
A RAD PLIGHT
According to reports received from
the westward the natives at Seldovia, ;
Port Graham and that vicinity are in
a bad way for supplies. Largely on
! account of the fact that that section
I has been without a boat for about
six weeks. The supply of food has
been completely exhausted and there
has been cases of actual want.
At Seldovia Herbert has nothing;
left in the store but a few cases of j
canned peas, flour, bacon, sugar, etc.,
having all been exhausted some time
ago. Everyone was anxiously await -
ing the arrival of the Admiral Evans
with food when the Dora left. Mr.
Baughman says that many of the
deaths that ha ve occurred in that sec
tion among the natives have been
caused largely from nul-nutrition as
much as anything else.
Jimmie Fisk who has been in Sel
dovia the past month awaiting a boat
to get out on. says that he has been
living on clams and flsh straight for
the past thirty days. The natives, in
many' cases, are absolutely without
food of any kind in their cabins and
are living on what Bsh they can catch.
