Notes from West
SANAK, April 6.~Gus Holmberg is
getting his new home nearly com
pleted. The house will be the largest
and most convenient on the island.
The family are at present occupying
the “Company house." Mr. Holmberg
is the agent of the Alaska Codfish Co.
here.
Mr. Benson is in luck. While on
Sam’s island, where he wintered a
bunch of cattle, the carcass of a dead
t'tc.l ashore on tv'»- - i1 !
As from this species of whale the
most valuable whalebone is obtained.
Mr. Benson will realize a neat little
sum from his find.
P. E. Xielsen has his launch on the
beach giving her a thorough over
hauling before the busy summer
season begins. Mr. Nielsen is think
ing of moving with his cattle to some
point on the main land. If he does
so Sanak will lose one of her most
substantial citizens.
Sanak is having beautiful weather.
There really has been no winter to
speak of and it is too late in tnr
season to have much cold weather at
worst. The annual crop of “bossy
j calves” is beginning to adorn the
' landscape ami it would be too bad if
! a cold wave should strike the island
now.
Alaska is usually pretty free irom
I electrical storms but on the llth of
* March a thunder storm of terrific
violence swept Sanak from one end
to the other. The temperature rose
from normal to above the boiling

point and for a time it seemed that
there would be several fatalities from
spontaneous combustion. This re
markable disturbance was caused by
the rush of the Dora at full speed past
the island. The local storekeepers
have been depending upon the mail
boat to bring in supplies but she has
passed so often without calling here
that Sanak is about as near a famine
as it can very well get. No one ever
starved to death here and unless ex
isting conditions change no one ever
will; but after being accustomed to
such luxuries as flour, sugar, rice
potatoes, etc., it is a little hard to
come down to plain diet.
Kmil and John Mobeck made a trip
to Sand Point the forepart of March.
They came across from K ing Cove on
March 11th, the day our “weakly”
! mail boat passed us up for the third
consecutive time. Fred Sundquist and
Joe Silva came over from Unimak
Island the same day.
The Victoria arrived at King Cove
on the 29th of February bringing in
H. H. Smith, superintendent of the
King Cove cannery and his crew. The
Port Moller and Nelson’s Lagood
crews also came on the same hoar.
Mrs. Smith accompanied her husband
and will spend the summer in Alaska.
After discharging the P. A. F. outfits
the Victoria went on to Unalaska for
which place she had a consignment of
government coal.
