WELCOME TO SEWARD
>
OEWARD citizens are glad of the opportunity to extend
^ the warm handclasp of friendship to Capt. Robert J.
Woolverton and Mrs. Woolverton, who arrived in Seward
Saturday from Fort Sheridan, 111., to make their home in
the city for the next two years. ‘Captain Woolverton suc
ceeds First Lieut. Clarke as local radio engineer, U. S.
Signal Corps- ' - ■
Captain Woolverton has the reputation of being one of
the most competent radio engineers in the U. S. Signal
Corps. He is an expert golf player and an ardent fisher
man. No doubt he has many more fine outstanding quali
ties but these should suffice to show he’s a regular chap.
The Captain and Mrs. Woolverton and children will
find quite a contrast between Alaska and Illinois but a con
trast which, we are confident, will be in Alaska's favor fol
lowing a few months residence here.

'DULLING OPERATIONS AT
PETERSON WELL GOING
ALONG SATISFACTORILY^
The Peterson oil well at Chickaloon
is down in excess of 500 feet and drill
ing operations of progressing steadily
and satisfactorily, according to Dr.
Ralph Smith, chief of the Alaska Di
vision, U. S. Geological Survey.
The drill has passed well through
the recent, or gravel formation, and
is now in shale. Some small seams of
coal were cut in the higher horizon
and some gas is coming up. This,
however, is believed to come from the
coal. Dr. Smith w'as not able to ap
proximate the thickness of the shale
now being penetrated. It was his
opinion that it will be necessary to
pass through all coal-bearing strata
before the question of oil can be con
sidered. In the absence of surface
evidences, such as seepages or paraf
fine-impregnated sandstone, all ques
tions of possibility of oil being struck
depend solely upon the drill.
Dr. Smith said, however, that the
outlook was encouraging, and that Mr.
Peterson is doing a valuable work in
wildcatting the ground in his present
test bore.
SENATOR DILL NOT COMING
Senator C. C. Dill, of Washington,

COMMITS SUICIDE
WAS FORMER ROADMASTER OF
ALASKA RAILROAD BETWEEN
HEALY AND NENANA
J. E. Holmes, employed by the Alas
ka Railroad at Anchorage, ended his
life Friday, near that city, by pressing
the trigger of a 16-gauge shotgun
with a twig, the charge passing thru
his breast. Death was apparently in- j
stantaneous, according to information
brought to Seward by Walter Culver,
special investigator for the railroad.
Mr. Culver and Paul Beran discov
ered Holmes’ body lying beside the
railroad track, near Chester creek, ap
proximately one mile south of An
chorage, as they vrere proceeding on a
gas car at about 5:30 o’clock Friday
afternoon. In the pocket of the de
ceased’s coat was scribbled a note say
ing that his friends knew his finan
cial standing, and asked that a brother
living in Ohio be notified of his death.
The deceased had been employed on
the Alaska Railroad for a nmber of
years and during 1924 and 1925 was
roadmaster on the line between Healy
and Nenana.
Great deliberation was employed in
effecting self-destruction, according to
Mr. Culver. Cutting a twig with a
fork, Holmes proceeded to peel off the
bark and trim the knots neatly. It
was apparent that he had then placed
the shotgun against his breast, and
with the twig pressed the trigger. The
body was found pitched slightly for
ward over the gun.
