SEWARD-KNIK
BOAT SERVICE
♦
Captain Cramer of Knik, who arrived
in Seward on the steamer Dora on his
wav outside, informs the Gateway that
he lias a proposition under way that, if
he succeeds, will mean much for Sew
ard. He proposes putting a boat in
service to run between Seward and
Knik, to make at least one trip a week.
He has a boat in view which he will
purchase if he succeeds in raising the
funds necessary. Captain Cramer is
satisfied that such an arrangement
would pay and that it would give the
people in Knik and around the inlet as
good service as Seward gets. Besides,
should such an arrangement be made
it would greatly improve the mail ser- j
vice to Knik. The boat that Captain
Cramer proposes to put on the run
will be a speedy craft, making sixteen
knots an hour. It will be 100 feet
long, with a 22-foot beam. The dis
tance to Knik via Seldovia is336 miles.
MOONSHINER IS
CAUGHT ASLEEP
Waldron, Ark., Jan. 10.—A sheriff's
posse while hunting for Dale, the not
orious moonshiner, who has success
fully eluded the officers of the law for
the past twenty years, saw their man
lying asleep in the woods near where
his still was located, and succeeded in
effecting his capture, lie made a des
perate attempt to release himself from
his captors, but they knew who they
had to deal with and firmly secured and
brought him to this place. For more
than twenty years Dale has baffled the
officers of the law and at times has
defied them. The officers confiscated
the still and it is probable that Dale
will be severely delt with as he has
caused the government much trouble
and expense.
Remember the Dance Tonight.
The Gateway omitted a very import
ant announcement yesterday, and that
was that the br.ys would give a dance
at Brown & Hawkins’ hall tonight, and
that a general invitation is extended
to all who enjoy the pleasure of danc
ing. The usual price of admission will
prevail and ladies will be admitted
free. A good time is promised all who
attend and the music—well, the best.
nail Will Leave Tomorrow.
The mail for Hope and Sunrise will
leave Seward tomorrow morning at 8j
o'clock.

NEWSY NOTES
FROM KENAI
Dec. 1.—Seven deaths have occurrod
here since October 29 from measles,
according to the death certificates filed
with the commissioner here by Alice
M. Dolan and W. E. Cuppler, govern
ment teachers and health officers. All
of the deaths were Indians, and with
/
the exception of one adult whose death
was caused by tuberculosis, were in
fants. This village has been under a
stringent quarantine for over two
months, owing to the epidemic which
was brought here by a passenger on
the Dora on the same trip which
brought the measles to Seward.
The Indian school here has not been
in session for almost two months* owing
to the epidemic of measles. Several
cases are reported at Seldovia and Ni
nilchic. Considering that there is no
physician at this place and the unsani
tary condition of the Indian cabins, the
death rate has been remarkably low.
Edward Ausbv, the popular foreman
of the Northwestern Fisheries com
pany cannery at this place, has re
turned after a trip to Seattle and San
Francisco.
W. N. Dawson is in charge of the
store here of the Cook Inlet Cummer
cial company.
P. F. Vi:m, better known as “Fren
chv,” has been appointed a notary pub
lic. A much needed official for this
< place.
Charles John Lund and Miss Nina
Edelmann wete married November 23
by Rev. Paul Shadura. A large gath
I ering attended the ceremony, after
; which the occasion was celebrated by
ja wedding supper and dance.
December 22. —The epidemic of
i measles which has been prevailing
| here for over two months is now well
| in hand, with only a few cases in hand,
lowing to the rigid quarantine main
I tained by the local health officer's.
Nine deaths have occurred since
J quarantine was established, two adults
; and seven infants. The adults were
afflicted with tuberculosis, when at
tacked with the measles, while the
i death of the infants was caused by
; measles.
Mr. Brown, the mail carrier who ar
rived here December 1, reports that
John Granross, a homesteader, had
, met death November 12 by several
| large piles rolling over him, killing
i him instantly. John Granross was the
| person whom it was reported had fired
i two shots from a rifle or revolver at
j one of his neighbors, Jacob Felaja, a
short while ago.
The case of F. Lashbrooke vs. W. E.
Kuppler came up for trial before IJ. S.
Commissioner Brownlow, and on mo
tion* of defendant a change of venue
| was allowed.
Jan. 1.—A petition for the estab
lishment of a territorial public .school
has been circulated here and forwarded
to the clerk of the court, praying for
such school. The only school here is
the one conducted by the Bureau of
Education, and it is optional with the
teachers as to the admittance of the
white children or children of mixed
blood, as it is only for Indians. There
are upwards of twelve families here
who have children of school age, total
ing about thirty-five who are eligible
to a territorial school. There is a
crying need for such a school here to
segregate the Indians from the whites.
Ninilchic has a territorial school and
it is proper. When Dr. Schaleben was
on his tour of inspectiou here a short
while ago he advised petitioning for
such a school.
