Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

l Mrs. Mayme Wroten, of Flat, Alas
ka, who has been undergoing an op
eration at the St. Joseph’s hospital,
Fairbanks, suffered a very heavy flh
ancial loss in a boat accident on the
Kuskokwim river, while en route to
Fairbanks. Mrs. Wroten was travel
ing as a passenger on the Bennett
Rodebaugh Waco plane, piloted by A.
A. Bennett, when, on account of dark
ness, it became necessary to make a
landing across the river from the
Telida roadhouse. A canoe, belonging
to one of the natives was requistion
ed to take Mrs. Wroten, Pilot Ben
nett, John Lund and George King, the
other passengers, across the river.
The ice was running very heavily and
when about 100 yards from the shore,
the boat collided with an ice cake and
capsized. The occupants of the boat
managed to get on the cake of ice and
thru the strenuous efforts of Mr. Ben
nett and Mr. King were finally
brought to shore below’ the point from
which they had started. All the bag
gage in the boat was lost, including
Mrs. Wroten’s suitcase, containing
jewelry, money and a fur coat of a to
tal value of over $4,000. Every effort
wras made to recover the baggage, but
without avail. After remaining in the
cold and darkness for nearly an hour
the sufferers wrere taken across the
river by Indians from the opposite
shore, arriving at the roadhouse in an
almost exhausted condition.
The body of a man, believed to be
John Hotter, was found last week by
Jerry Poole and John Burridge in a
small log cabin near Outer Cove, at
the north end of Douglas island.
United States Commissioner V. A.
Paine, in company with Dr. W. A. Bor
land and Charles Carter, undertaker,
visited the scene and brought the
body to Juneau.
A gunshot w’ound wras found in the
man’s skull and a revolver wras found
lying near the body. Evidence about
the cabin, including a still and other
paraphernalia believed used in the
manufacture of illicit liquor, was
found near the scene, and it is the
belief of Commissioner Paine that the
man was operating the still before his
death.
At the coroner’s inquest the verdict
of suicide w’as turned in.

A telegram received by Pat O’Con
nor announces the death of his sister,
Mrs. Mary Beraul, in San Diego, Cali
fornia, last Saturday night.
Mrs. Beraul, with her husband, G.
E. Beraul, who passed away about a
year ago, were among the early pio
neers in Fairbanks, arriving here in
1904 from Dawson. For many years,
Mr. Beraud was assayer for the First
National Bank of Fairbanks, taking
up their residence in San Diego a
few years ago.
Mr. George E. King is in Fairbanks,
having recently arrived by plane from
Telida, on the Kuskokwim river,
where he has completed the construc
tion of a landing field for the Terri
torial Road Commission. Telida field
is of utmost importance in air navi
gation between Fairbanks and the
Kuskokwim, it is said, because of an
almost total absence of fogs. Mr.
King, who is an experienced aviator
himself, and the owner of a Standard
plane equipped with a Curtiss motor,
will remain in Fairbanks, entering the
employ of the Bennett-Rodebaugh com
pany. He is probably the only indivi
dual in Alaska owning and flying a
plane for his own personal use.

Chris Radovich and Antonio An

district court at Anchorage.
Jt C. Murray, wbo filed suit against
the Nttggett Creeks Hydraulic com
f: '
pany to quiet title on some mining
properties on Nugget creek which he
had contracted to sell the defendant,
was given a judgment against the de
fendant company, when the case was
brought before Judge E. E. Ritchie at
Anchorage last week. The judgment
was given by default as no represen
tative of the defendant company ap
peared in court.
Mr. Murray contracted to sell the
property to the defendant in 1922. In
1923 the defendant failed to meet the
payments due on the claims. The
properties had been worked for a
time by the defendant before the fail
ure to meet payments occurred.

In the case of Mary Figerella ver
sus the city of Anchorage, asking
damages because of the death of her
husband while excavating for a city
sewer system, the demurrer, which
was interposed by the defendant to
the plaintiff’s amended complaint,
was sustained. In other words, it
amounts practically to the case being
thrown out of court.

pany, at Scrafford, on the summit be
