fflKTUG ILL SET
FOR SUNDAY EXCURSION
Since the annoucement was made a
few days ago that Captain Heinie Ber
ger proposed to run an excursion on
Sunday to Bear and Northwestern
glaciers, and to Seal Rocks, it is re
ported at least 20 citizens have pur
chased tickets. Captain' Berger says
'the weather man has promised to
treat him right and Father Neptune
toill be in a cheerful mood.
Tickets are on sale at several of the
local stores at S3.50 each. This will en
title the holder to all the comforts of
home on the commodious vessel in
cluding a'seafaring man’s lunch. And
if anyone doubts for a moment sailors
don’t eat the best in the land, here is a
good opportunity 'to find out. The M. S.
Discoverer will steam away from the
local quay at 7 bells,or 7 o’clock Sun
day morning, returning as the shades
of night begin to fall. Captain Berger
states, due to the inclement weather,
it is difficult to say if he will throw
another excurcion so it might be well
for those who are considering going
some other time to go Sunday.
WHIZ BANGER COMING
Headed northward within the next
week will be one of the outstanding
'publishers in America,none other than
Captain Billy Fawcett, famous as
Captain of the Olympic trapshooting
team and as the publisher of True
Confessions, Whiz Bang, Tripple.X,
and other magazines. Captain Billy
is going down into the Kenai penin
sula country after big game.
Major Gillette, of the Alaska Road
Commission, will hold a public hear
ing in Anchorage this evening on the
proposed dredging of the harbor
which, it appears, has filled up cer
tain portions with glacial muck.
