FROM Ol'R EXCHANGES
Dr. Baker of Sulzer and Dr. Dehl,
of Iditarod are taking the examina
tion before the Territorial Medical
l Board for license to practice in the
! Territory.
| The Mohawk Mining Company, op
erating in the Willow Creek section,
jnear Anchorage, has purchased a
1 large stamp mill and other machin
ery, which will be shipped north and
installed on the property in the near
future.
Shirley D. Rice, Peter Korth, M.
Long and another resident of Anchor
age, have been approved by the re
cruiting officer at Anchorage and left
on the Transport Crook to report to
headquarters for service in the U. S.
Army.
Sidney D. Charles, formerly of the
Juneau Dispatch, and recently editor
and publisher of the magazine "Al
aska” has taken the editorship of the
Anchorage Times, succeeding L. F.
Shaw, who will leave soon for an ex
tended visit to the States.
James Farley, a pioneer of the
north, died recently at Tanana, where
he had resided for a number of years.
Farley had been in ill . health for
some months and had become a care
upon the people of the town. Ar
rangements had* just been complet
ed to send him to the Pioneers’ Home
at Sitka.
C. E. Saunders, who had charge of
the construction of the new canneries
for the Northwestern Fisheries Co.,
on Cook Inlet, and Miss Caroline
Kneeland, were united in marriage
recently at Anchorage, the bride hav
ing arrived there the day before. They
will make their home in Anchorage.
Worms an inch and one-half long,
and as large around as a lead pencil,
resembling the cut worm, have made
their appearance in vast numbers in
the upper Matanuska valley and have
attacked the oat and vegetable crops
of several of the ranchers, doing con
siderable damage. They appear to be
most prevalent in the burnt over
land, and at fir^i fed principally on
the fire weed.
George Hillary, a resident of An
chorage, has been reported to the au
thorities of that place as missing. He
left Anchorage in May for Snug Har
bor on a hunting trip and has not
been seen since May 31. He had only
sufficient provisions for two weeks,
and his prolonged absence has caused
his friends much uneasiness.
The Alaska Mines Corporation has
acquired the entire holdings of H.
Greenberg, on the third beach line at
Nome, including the dredge which
was partially constructed on No. 2
Holyoke. The Holyoke dredge will be
completed and wilt be in readiness to *
dig sime time in August.
J. P. Walker, Assistant Supervisor!
of Surveys, with headquarters at Ju-1
reau, arrived at Anchorage recently
and now has two douhle crews of sur
veyors out dividing the farming lands
tributary to the railroad into sections.
One party is working between Kash
witna and Talkeetna and the second
party is working in the vicinity of1
Kachemak Bav.
i
The Bureau of ErJjication will er-1
ect a large log building at White!
Mountain, in the Nome District, thf- («
summer, which will be used as a |
school house. It will be the largest;
log building on the Seward Peninsula
and will have accomodation for eighty \
pupils. i
\ .
Maurice Barbee, working on Ger
trude Creek, in the Tolovano fell 45
feet down a shaft anrt sustained in
juries which may prove fatal. Barbee
was working at the bottom of the
shaft when he discovered the air was j
becoming bad. He signalled to be
hoisted to the surface, and when he
reached fresh air fell backward down
the shaft. His skull was fractured and
he sustained internal injuries.
Under the direction of A. J. Sprag
ue, who has been in charge of the ex
perimental hatchery at Thane, 60,000
young mountain trout which have
been hatched out at Thane, have been
deposited in the upper dam at Salmon
Creek, near Juneau. Recently 40,000
were-placed in the lower Annex creek
lake and 60,000 in tne upper lake.
The 60,000 fry remaining at the
hatchery will probably go to lakes
Dewey and Black near Skagway.
A movement is on foot at Juneau
to test the legality of the bill passed
by the last legislature establishing
fish hatcheries in the First Division.
Through an oversight the bill was
not delivered to nor signed by the
Governor until after the adjournment
of the legislature. In checking over
the bills passed by the legislature
and those signed by the Governor it
was found that the hatcheries bill was
missing and a search was made for it.
The Fairbanks Commercial Club
has received a wire from Delegate
Charles A. Sulzer to the effect that
he had appealed to the quartermast
er General of the army and secured a j
reversal of the order of the quarter- j
master's department at San Francis
co turning down the offer of the Ta
nana Valley Agricultural Association
to supply potatoes to the stations in
interior Alaska, and stating that the
potatoes for these stations would be
purchased of the farmers of Alaska.
The steamer Northland, which was
sunk about a year ago at Kake, in
Southeastern Alaska, has been suc
cessfully raised and is now on her
way south for repairs. The Northland
was raised and nearly free from wat
er when one of the wrecking crew
passing through one the rooms with
a lighted lantern caused an explosion
and fire due to the crude oil which
had accumulated throughout the in-j
terior of the hull, necessitating the i
flooding of the steamer again to ex- j
tinguish the blaze.
Frank C. Manley, one of the larg
est mine operators in Alaska, was a
recent arrival in Juneau, on his way
to Chicagoff Island to examine some
copper properties in which he is in
terested. Aside from his Alaska min
ing interests Mr. Manley is also in
terested in oil properties in California
and states that Clarence Barry, ano
ther well-known Alaska mining man,
who is interested with him, is pull
ing down a daily income of $1,500
from these oil properties.
Charles Barrand, 45 years of age,
and an old-timer in the Cache Creek
section, is reported to be lost. He was
operating a fish camp about six miles
below McDougall, and was last seen
June 5. The first indication of his be
ing lost was when a short time ago
his six dogs, ravenously hungry, ap
peared at Prof. Herschel Parker’s
camp. Parker sent men to Barrand’s
camp and they found the fish nets and
traps set and filled with dead fish,
but no trace of Barrand could be
found, and the indications were that
he had not been at his cabin for
some time.
Only 600 votes out of a member
ship of 3,500, were cast in the re
cent election of officers for the Alas
ka Labor Union at Anchorage. A. Ny
laji was re-elected president, Lena
Morrow Lewis vice-president and W.
J. Henry was re-elected secretary. A
referendum vote on the resolution de
claring allegiance to American in
stitutions and opposing the tactics of
the I. W. W.'s was defeated by 157
to 75 votes. It is stated that a number
of the members of the Union out the
line have refused to pay dues or vote
because of the war of words that has
been in progress between the radical
end conservative members of the Un
ion for several months past.
