CURRY HEWS ROTES
(Special to The Gateway)
Miss Celia Larsen, of Juneau,
who has charge of the public school
» at Curry, is getting along nicely
and is patiently awaiting her school
supplies which are to be sent in
from Hope, via Moose Pass. This
is Miss Larsen’s first trip north
and she is enjoying the work at the
Curry school very much.

The hotel at Curry has much to
be proud of in addition to being
the best hostelry in Alaska. From
their gardens they have procured
cauliflower that weighs over seven
pounds per head and potatoes that
weigh up to eight pounds a piece.
Although these are extremely large
in size, the pulp is just as solid
and delicate in taste as the smaller
heads. The head lettuce raised in
the hotel garden cannot be equaled.
Which only goes to prove that Al
askans can raise garden vegetables
that have no superior in taste, size
and quality. The flower garden
this summer was a veritable Eden
and the tourists could hardly believe
it possible that such flora could be
bloomed in Alaska.

Mi*. Charles Madsen, Alaska’s
famous guide and hunter, returned
with his party from Cantwell on
last Thursday’s train where they
stalked a couple of caribou. All in
all, their hunt has been very suc
cessful. Shortly after the train
started from Cantwell on Thursday
morning, a group of more than 200
caribou passed across the track
ahead of the train. The hunters
report much new snow in the hills
which makes the hiking rather dif
ficult.

The Curry Hotel had more than
80 guests on Thursday, September
24. Many of these people are head
ed for the States where they will
spend the winter.
* * * ■*
The first touch of winter came
down on Curry like a wild beast
charging his prey. It was the first
hale-storm of the season and al
though it did no damage, it reduced
the column of mercury in the ther
mometer from 50 to 40 in less than
an hour's time and that night the
first frost covered the ground.

Arthur Gray, the master me
chanic of the Curry roundhouse,
just received the new radio of the
all-electric type. This, he installed
and now enjoys the invisible enter
tainers. The radio from Anchorage
has not been so good, which is very
sad to relate, as they expect to get
more Alaskan news, especially from
the city of Anchorage.

Mr. A. B. Cummings, the genial
manager of the Curry hotel, Al
aska’s famous hostelry, has been
somewhat dismayed the past few
days on account of the pet bears
which he has raised from baby cubs
to two-year-olds, which have disap
peared. He assumes that these
pets have taken to the hills for a
short time but will soon return in
time for the hibernaiton season.
The rest of Mr. Cummings’ mana
gerie consists only of a pet dog
and cat.

Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Wadleigh, of
Cape May, Va., have been spending
the past week at the Curry hotel
where Mr. Wadleigh, in his capacity
as consulting engineer of the De
partment of the Interior, has been
conducting a steaming test at the
Curry power plant. The results
obtained were very gratifying, prov
ing that Alaskan coal is as good and
if not better than coal purchased j
from the mines in the States.

The sheep at Curry will be ready j
to shear in the spring and from j
the appearance of their pre4ent
coat, several bags of wool will be
obtained. Last year several hun
dred pounds of wool was obtained
in this manner.

Kerrick to the platform, shouted, j

i Early risers in Seward Sunday
morning were greeted with the sight
of the first snow flurry reported this
year. But, it was only for a short
while. In scanning the peaks
around Seward it was noticed that
they were garbed in a somewhat
whiter and more extensive mantel
than usual but this disappeared
when the day warmed and left the
hills clothed as they have been for
some days.
Dr. Phillip S. Smith, chief Alaska
geologist, was among the depart
ures on the SS Alaska Saturday.
