A RECORD OF EFFICIENCY
During the month of July, 493 units of relief were
furnished at the Seward General Hospital, Dr. A. D. Hav
erstock, physician and surgeon, a branch of the United
States Public Health Service. During June the figures
were 357 and May, 240. A very remarkable growth can
be noted at a glance.
The unit of cost at the Seward General Hospital is
extremely low—31 for May, 21 for June and considerably
less for July. At Cordova, the nearest Alaska station, the
units of relief for May were 143 and for June 120. At
Juneau the units of relief were: May, 183, and June, 234.
The majority of cases handled at the Seward General
Hospital for the U. S. Public Health Service were and are
surgical and severe, many of them requiring operation
and most of them hospitalization.
From all parts of Alaska come favorable comments
of the Seward General Hospital and its capable staff.
From all parts of Alaska, likewise, come patients, the most
recent of which was from Nome, brought here by air
plane.
It is now known throughout the entire Territory. The
hundreds of successful operations and treatments
achieved at the Seward General Hospital—practically 100
per cent—has resulted in making Seward a renowned
medical center.
Few Alaskans now go to the States for operations
and treatments; they come to Sev^ard!
A WEALTH OF INFORMATION
Alaska fisherman will find much of interest in the
Handbook just published by “The Pacific Fisherman,”
Seattle organ of the fishing industry. This convenient
volume condenses and presents in plain, understandable
language, a mass of information to which commercial
fishermen have occasion for constant reference.
It takes up, first of all, the several fishing districts of
Alaska as well as of the entire Pacific Coast, discussing
the fish taken, the .methods employed, the open seasons
and general information regarding the industry. The
Alaska fishery law and the regulations for 1931 are con
densed and presented in such form as to be readily avail
able to a busy man. The fisheiy codes of British Colum
bia, Washington, Oregon and California are dealt with
likewise.
Charts of the principal fishery ports of the Pacific
Coast and full explanation of the facilities which they
offer the fishing industry are published. Alaska ports
covered by charts include Juneau, Sitka, Petersburg and
Ketchikan while detailed information is given in addition
for Port Alexander, Kodiak, Valdez, Dutch Harbor, Sel
dovia, Cordova, Seward and Anchorage.
Other material included in the Handbook covers dis
tance tables, a directory of fishery organizations, legal
matters in connection with boat ownership and operation,
fishery licenses and taxes, rule of navigation, facts about
fishing gear and a wealth of other information of essen
tial character to the fisherman.
A consolidation of interests that is good for the
States should be good for Alaska. And what would
natural resources if these railroads and the lands of the
have been the results with respect to big enterprises and
country had been merely subject to lease instead of pass
ing under a title?
A bird with thumbs on its wings is reported by a
scientific expedition in Africa. In pre-Volstead days,
incautious imbibers in the United States claimed to
have seen brindle elephants with green horns, and the
like, but prohibition has forced us to give Africa first
place as a land of wonders.

ORE H SEMI
I ASSAYS $103 TON;
'HARDROCK'LEQNURG
R. H. “Hardrock” Leonard, well
known local mining man who is
doing development work at his
mine near Grouse Lake, Mile 7 on
;the Seward-Kenai road, is wear
ing a happy smile these days
caused by the receipt of a report
that his ore assays $103 gold per
ton.
Mr, Leonard says that the ore
at this mine appears betted than at
any time previous but frankly de
clares there is considerable ex
ploratory work to be done before
the property can safely be con
sidered a large milling proposi
tion.
Mr. Leonard is now sinking a
shaft at the end of his tun
nel and asays of ore at this point
give values from $61, surface le
vel to $103, at the present depth
sidered ample proof that the val
of 15 feet. This discovery is con
ues go down and that they are
bettering with depth. Mr. Leon
ard will continue with his work
on the property in the hope of
bringing in a real gold mine.
Boats in port today were the U. S.
LHS Cedar, MS Seal, Roy, Marian,
Bavaria, Joan, T-3408 and the Hell
diver.
A GREAT SHOW
“Give me the good told days,”
“It’s mind over what’s the mat
ter,” etc., remarked El Brendel,
famous character actor who last
night, in “Just Imagine,” kept the
big audience in the Liberty Theatre
chuckling for an hour and a half.
His Swedish impersonation was a
scream; so good that many who
saw the show last night are going
again. The settings for the elab
orate production were superb and
very clever. “Just Imagine” is un
doubtedly just about the best su
per-comedy talkie to have been ex
hibited here todate and is worth
walking 10 miles to see.
NOW SOLE OWNER
It is reported that the Paulstein
er Sea Food Market, John Paul
steiner, has taken over the interest
in the schooner Bavaria from Capt.
John Smith. The latter is plan
ning a trip to Seattle shortly and
while in the Puget Sound country
may purchase a new fishing craft.
Upon the return of the U. S.
lighthouse tender Cedar to port in
about two weeks from Prince Wil
liam Sound lights and stations,
several carloads of Alaska coal will
be taken aboard for Southeastern
Alaska stations.
With the 9 o’clock sailing from
Seward Friday night of the SS Yu
kon, the schedule of the Alaska
Steamship Company shifts to 11
p. m. unless, under the announced
proposed winter sailing schedule,
another change is made.
TRUCK SMASHED POLE
LISBON, Sept. 17. (/P)—A truck
smashing a telephone pole and
thus breaking communication be
tween Lisbon and a neighboring
town caused the belief that a
revolt was near. Authorities con
cluded that the break in com
munication meant a rebellion had
begun and that the troops at
Braga were on their way to at
tack.
FAMOUS COACH ILL
PALO ALTO, Sept., 16, (JP)—
Glen “Pop” Warner, famous foot
ball coach of Stanford, was taken
suddenly ill Tuesday. He was
rushed to a hospital and ordered to
bed- Warner had a temperature
of 102. His physician had not
diagnosed the ailment but it is be
lieved to be some internal disorder.
