EIGHT TIMES IN SAME
PLACE WAS TOO MI CH
Alex McDonald, genial agent of the
Alaska Steamship Company, is feeling
thankful today because the former
French Consul at Seattle has canceled
the “chain letter" for the aid of the
French war victims, which has been
going around Alaska, at least, around
McDonald’s part of Alaska. In a short
period he received eight of these let
ters each asking for 25 cents and each
urging him to write to two others for
25 cents. He located three of the
senders and sent each a similar re
quest. Today he received a letter ad
vising him that this letter chain was
all right at the time it was started
but that the French Consul later can
celed it.

THREE IN CAR
NEAR DEATH
-
C. A. Schonacker and Couple From
Tacoma Take Plunge On
Valdez Trail
_
VALDEZ, July lo.—An automobile
containing M. A. Howe and wife, of
the Tacoma Printing & Bindery Com
pany, and M. A. Schonacker, of the
Richmond Paper Company, jumped the
i bluff at Rocky Point ,Sunday, and went
400 feet down the hill without upset
! ting. None oft he party was hurt.
The escape from death of the trio is
considered remarkable, as they were
not only in danger of being crushed
but narrowly missed plunging on into
a small lake, the car stopping just on
the brink. All were returning from a
trip to Fairbanks.

MARIPOSA IN FROM
SOUTHERN PORTS
The Steamship Mariposa arrived
from Seattle yesterday with the fol
lowing passengers for Seward: Rob
ert Guest, G. E. Baldwin, E. C. rlubbs,
Mrs. A. J. Melville, B. T. James and
i Mrs. B. L. Painter.
SOCIAL CHAT
Quite a large part of Seward’s pop
, ulation turned out Saturday evening to
attend the military ball and enjoyed a
splendid evening of entertainment.
Sergt. Colburn, as Uncle Sam, and
Miss Ethel Leslie as the Goddess of
Liberty, led the grand march and fully
sixty couples participated. The ser
geant was there with dignity and plen
ty of goatee, while Miss Leslie’s strik
ing beauty lent charm to the part.
Beuaty, in fact, was the feature of the
dance, as Seward’s percentage of
beautiful women is extraordinarily
high. Newcomers are not slow to re
mark on this and those attending the
event of Saturday night were quick to
concede it. Members of the unit re
ceived genral approbation from their
guests who voted an early repetition of
the event as the proper move.
V
Mrs. A. J. Melville, wife of the train
master on this division, arrived on
' the Mariposa.
JtL
♦
Mrs. R. G .Chambers and her daugh
ter Alice sailed on the Mariposa to
join her husband to westward, after a
residence here of over two years. Mrs.
Chambers leaves many friends who
were sorry to see her depart.
Mrs. Roger Summy, bride of last
week, who has been the house guest of
Mrs* Balderstone, went to Anchorage
on the Mariposa to join her husband
who is a well-known business man of
that place. Mr. and Mrs. Summy, it
will be remembered, were married at
sea on the Admiral Evans by Rev.
Fischer.
MINING NOTES
Although no pay of great richness
has yet been found in the Goodpaster,
that country will soon be coming to
the front, according to the statements
of a number of men who are now in
town from that section. The only min
ing outfit known to have pay is Solli
Brothers, who are operating near the
head of Michigan creek. It is very
coarse and well worn, indicating that
it is paystreak gold. All told, there
are but seventeen prospectors in the
Goodpaster country at the present
time, and it is a section about 130
miles long by about 75 miles wide. Its
formation indicates that it is a placer
country, and in the opinion of the men
who are prospecting there, it will some
day produce riches. No prospecting has
ever been done anywhere in the coun
try except in shallow ground.

Hobcn Fled and Prevented Big Game
But There’ll Be Another
Day
Third Baseman Coughlin will prob
ably land a beaner on “Doc” Beam at
short the first time he catches the
Doc between him and second base.
Doc’s active mind recently figured out
a fictitious tour of Southeastern Alas
ka and he wrought a remarkable de
feat upon the ball team at Wrangell.
This was fine but he allowed his imagi
nation to run to paper and sent it
south, signed “Coughlin,” all of which
later appeared in type in the Seattle
P.-I.
After several days of fanning
around the drugstore stove the Seward
twirlers and pill pounders hied out to
Federal Park this afternoon to work
the moss off their whips.
First Baseman Campbell has to
hump himself over and submit to a lit
tle “skull practice” at Fort Liscum to
ascertain whether he knows the differ
ence between “fix” bayonets” and for
ward, march,” so Hoben’s wonders will
be shy a captain for the rest of the
week.
Frank Ennis is ramping around
town with a line-up blank in his- hand
looking for any stray players and was
down on the dock sizing up likely new
comers. He sure can tell a ball player
a long way olT.
Now that the Northwest League has
broken up, Anchorage ought to be able
to get a good team.
SEWARD SNAPSHOTS
Chief of Police Guest returned on
the S. S. Mariposa yesterday after tak
