PORT HOBRON ITEMS
From Port Hobron, in the far
Westward area, comes word that
the first mail to reach that whal
ing station in two months was
brought there on January 28 by
Otto Kraft who came from Kodiak.
Those who live at Port Hobron do
not see other human beings for
periods as long as a month or two
months.
♦ * * *
Although no definite news has
yet been received at the whaling
station at Port Hobron as to the
condition of the whale oil market,
it is expected that word will reach
there some time during March. The
company of which Port Hobron is
a subsidiary, has four whaling sta
tions and 15 steam whalers lying
idle, which entails considerable ex
pense, but it is thought that the
Port Hobron station will operate
this summer.

Otto Kraft, who carried mail to
Westward residents at Port Hobron,
the latter part of January, went
down that way primarily on a fur
buying trip, states The Gateway
correspondent.

WOODEN MONEY USED
IN WASHINGTON TOWN
TACOMA, Wash., Mar. 1.—When
Uncle Abner goes marketing in Ta
naimo hereafter, he will use wooden
nickels.
The town bank closed last week
and so the community committee,
in lieu of cash, have decided to
issue ply-wood poker chips which
are redeemable.
“Though the panic is on, Ta
naimo is solvent,” is the town's
slogan.
REFINING OIL IKES
cm PROSPEROUS
WHITING, Ind., Mar. 1. —Here
in Whiting they say business is
good and they mean it.
The city’s three banks are re
ported to be doing a thriving bus
iness, other business is practically
normal, 98 per cent of the 1931 tax
levy has already been collected and
; only a few of the 12,000 inhabi
tants are out of jobs.
Oil is the reason. One of the Na
tion's largest oil companies has its
refineries here, and Mayor Thos.
S| Boyle credits it with much of
! Whiting’s good fortune.
And to make matters better, there
has been a 15 per cent reduction
in the city’s tax rate.
HARD FORAGING
There are many deer along the
beaches of Southeastern Alaska this
year as they have to come down to
the ocean side to forage for food.
The deer eat whatever they can
and their baech forage consists
mostly of kelp, says the Petersburg
Press. Residents of Southeastern
Alaska often cut down a hemlock
tree so that the deer can secure
some nourishment other than kelp.
