Bill Bean, of Kake, Alaska, re
cently located a raven’s nest with
eggs and brought them into town
to prove that he had found the
bird's nesting place. It is true that
there are a great many ravens even
around Petersburg, but where do
they propogate? The old Indian
belief is that they lay their eggs
late in the fall among the high
rocks and the young are hatched
by the cold north Taku wind hit
ting them. Only a very few per
sons have been able to locate the
nesting places of this bird but it
seems that they must be doing
well, as every year there seems to
be a greater number.

One of the worst winters on rec
ord was experienced in the Taku
Paver sections. There was an un
usually heavy amount of snow
j fall, more than normal, and much
severe cold weather. Trappers had
a fair season. Most of them got
the limit of beaver, and coyotes,
wolverines and mink were also
taken.

Thirty-four years ago as a troop
train was pulling out of a railroad
station at St. Paid, two soldiers,
but recently enlisted as volunteers
in the Spanish-American war,
waved goodbye to each other. They
were brothers-in-law. One was
Charles R. Trowbridge, then of the
13th Minnesota, departing for the
Philippines, now inspector with the
Department of the Interior having
headquarters in Denver, Colo. The
other was E. R. Stivers, then of the
14th Minnesota, awaiting orders to
• go to Cuba, now deputy United
States collector of customs in
charge of the port of Nome, who
is doing special wTork at Customs |
headquarters in Juneau. For the |
first time since 1898, the two com- j
rades met in the Gastineau Hotel
in Juneau last w'eek.

! Tennis enthusiasts gathered at
the Anchorage fire station in re
sponse to a call for a general

A. Grefe, father of Mrs. Frank
A. Metcalf of Juneau, died in Port
land, Ore., after a brief illness.
Death was caused by bronchial
pneumonia with which he was
stricken just eight days before his
death. Mrs. Metcalf, who was call
ed south recently by the illness of
her mother, was with her father

when the end came.

“Fish markets in the States are
depressed; present conditions are
bad and future prospects are un
certain,” Wallis S. George, presi
dent and manager of the Juneau
Cold Storage Company, said on his
return from a business trip that
took him from the Pacific to the
Atlantic Coast. “Both halibut and
salmon are extremely dull,” he
added. “Dealers are taking losses
on halibut. Frozen halibut from
Alaska sold in Boston for as low as
7V2 cents a pound, which figure
scarcely covers freight charges.”
A crew of 12 men will be put
to work on an exploratory and de
velopment program on the Alaska
Chichagof Gold Mining Company’s
ground at Chichagof, better known
as the Bez property. A camp out
fit and equipment is now being as
sembled and as soon as this is
available, the crew will be em
ployed. The purpose of the new
program is to determine the ex
tent of the ore vein tapped last
fall at the bottom of the shaft sunk
during the preceding year. The
ore is high grade and the discov
ery, situated in the old Chichagof
mine zone, is considered sufficient
ly significant to justify a thorough
exploration.

An unified, or at least a cooper
ative system of education for both
Indians and whites in Alaska is a
definite goal toward which both
the Federal government and the
Territory ought to plan and work
for betterment of both classes of
schools and in the interest of econ
omy as well as efficiency, is the
view expressed by Dr. W. Carson
Ryan, Jr., Director of Education
for the United States Indian Ser
vice.

Bob Steele, Norwegian wrestler
claimant of the Canadian heavy
weight championship, arrived in
Juneau on one of the last boats
and remains about a month. He
will give a wrestling exposition if
he can find a foeman worthy of
his efforts. Steele, whose real
name is Roy C. Anderson, hails
from far-away Lewiston, Me. He
has wrestled practically every
heavyweight of prominence, hav
ing been in the game more than
10 years. Steele has wrestled Stan
islaus Zyszka, Renato Gardini, Ted
Thye, iMarin Plestina, Gus Son
nenberg, Ed Don George and many
others.
The Juneau Empire complains
that the radio service supplanting
the cable is woefully deficient in
handling business and asks that
the cable be resumed. No blame
is attached to the operators of the
radio, but it is claimed that radio
does not equal the cable for accur
! acy and expeditious service.
