| SELDOVIA, KATCHEMAK AND
PORT GRAHAM NEWS
(Special to Gateway)
SELDOVIA, Dec. 27.—Capt. Cram
er arrived with the Traveler, after
having been in the ice for eight days,
on the day after Christmas. He re
ported that Roy Curry and party
were wrecked ofT Kalgin Island about
| a month ago and the launch Susitna
was a total wreck. Those aboard
\ saved the engine and secured enough
of the wreckage to build a dory and
I had just arrived at Kenai before the
Traveler arrived there. It is Capt.
Cramers intention to return to An
chorage shortly after the first of the
year.
After a wait of three months, some
of the Herring fishers are at last get
ting a few barrels of herring at Hali
but Cove, Katchemak Bay. The
herring are very deep and those who
are successful arc those who have gill
nets and not seines.
Tim BulashofT'made a daring trip
to Ninilchik recently. He went in an
open dory with an Evenrude, and
went directly across Katchemak Bay,
making Ninilchik the same day. He
reported considerable ice on the
beach. Mrs. Alyce E. Anderson.
! vas busy preparing a program for
Xmas while he was there, but had the
time to put in a boost for Little Rus
I sia.
The Seldovia school celebrated
Christmas Eve with a tree and pro
gram. After the entertainment the
crowd adjourned to one of the halls
and danced until the wee small hours
of the morning. Dancing is the fav
orite pastime of Seldovites. The lat
est steps were indulged in on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday nights.
The Seldovia Dancing Academy will
have its grand opening about the first
of the Year.
i
The Beluga hunters are still try
ing to devise means for catching this
j elusive fish. To date none have been
I taken either dead or alive.
| Miss Jettret Stryker has probabl>
the honor of being the first white
woman to ever attempt to walk down
the beach from Ninilchik to Homer
in the dead of winter. Shi* made the
hike in record time, and upon her ar
rival at Seldovia was ready for a
dance.
The general opinion of the people
of Seldovia i^that the “powers that
be” might have shown more wisdom
if they had made a different choice
for postmaster at Seldovia. But then
there is always some one who is dis
satisfied, so why kick? Does it do
any good, or does it merely keep the
community in the public eye, and
cause a general turmoil all the way
around ?
The interior of the Territorial
school has been painted throughout
and it is a credit to those uho donat
ed their labor so willingly. The
money for the paint was made by
selling shadows and baskets. The
people of Seldovia are certainly to be
congratulated upon the way that they
I respond to the needs of the school.
During tho cold weather everyone
is affected by the lack of water that
is fit to drink on the side of the bay
that Seldovia is located on, and they
will all be glad to know' that an effort

Milo Hulbert predicts great future

1 brought up on a recent boat and ex
