Judging from yesterday’s dispatches from Juneau,!
Alaska's legislature has been smitten with that Con
gressional malady, “Let’s investigate.” The Territory
hasn’t got enough trouble so they proceed to stir it up.!
What’s the “smoke-screen” for?
The editor hereby apologizes to the public at large
in omitting to comment yesterday on St Patrick’s Day,!
the 17th of Ireland. In any case it would have been j
in Pat’s favor.
__ i
Fairbanks people are to be complimented on the!
speed with which they have started search for Pilot,
Fred Moller, the “Flying Prospector” when it became,
known two days ago he had been missing for a week, i
May he be found safe and uninjured.
To stricken Senator John Dunn of Ruby the sym- j
pathy and intense regret of eve 17 Alaskan who knows |
him, is extended. Seized with a stroke of paralysis
while representing his district at the legislature, the,
services of an infallible and conscientious man is lost at
this session, perhaps forever. May he speedily recover.
Things are beginning to happen; tomorrow, the
new moon and a change of weather is due. Saturday,
the 21st, the first day of spring. Be of good heart, dear!

KETCHIKAN, Mar. 18. (£>) —
Skippers and owners of halibut
boats had their first real taste of
an Alaska winter last week when
the mercury dropped to its lowest
for the winter. j
The crew of the schooner Sup
erior, which landed here reported
that the schooner was still bear
ing evidence of the ice which
weighed her down and kept the
skipper, owner and crew busy
chopping it off. The boat carried
10,000 pounds of halibut and left
here late yesterday for Seattle.
Annie Gregorioff, about 14 years
old, passed away recently in Val
dez, reports the Miner. She had
been ill for little more than a
week.

GOES HOME SATURDAY
j Mrs. W- P. Lindsay of Anchor
| age who recently underwent a
i major operation by Dr. A. D.
Haverstock, has recovered suffi
ciently that she expects to leave
for home on the next train. It
will be recalled Mr. Lindsay flew
to Seward from Anchorage to be
with Mrs. Lindsay during the
crisis of operation and conval
escence.
NOT A CHANCE
"I have been unjustly suspect
ed of having aspirations to at
tain a councilman’s chair, in the
forthcoming municipal election;
this, I deny. I am not a candi
date for councilman.” Thusly
does W. R. Shellhorn- put the
damper on the hopes of his
many friends that he would file
and enter the race.
TRAIN, IN AND OUT
The mixed train which will ar
rive today from Anchorage will
depart tomorrow (Thursday) fore
noon on the return trip, reports
local railroad headquarters. The
next train from the Interior ar
rives Friday evening.
THE CHAMPS WILL REST
Finishing the season with a
clean slate and not a mark upon
their keen, manly features, the
Seward Signal Corps, U. S. Army
basketball team, undisputed title
holder of the Southwestern Alas
ka cup, have played their last
game this season and will now
rest upon their laurels.
"SNOW-SHOE" WIRELESS
The “Red Demon” was thought
to have made its appearance
yesterday on the thorougfares
and byways of Seward but' a
closer and more careful investi
gation revealed the fact that it
was the City truck all dolled up
in a new spring attire—a bril
liant coat of red paint.
