Missing Man is
Sought In Alaska
A letter received by the Salva
tion Army, Cordova, (written in
Swedish and addressed to Sew
ard, nearest Corps.) enquires for
news of a man called Per Persson
Poikka, who emigrated from Kar
lia, Sweden to Alaska in 1905.
He was brn in Jukkasjervi, par
ish of Foraming, Sweden, in Oct
ober 5, 1857, of Mongolian paren- i
tage. He was a small man of about
165 c. m. (five feet and four in- ;
ches). He came to Alaska to look
after the property of a man called
Rennar.
His son came home from abroad
recently and would like to get in
touch with his father if he is
alive or dead. The son gives
his address as Johan P. Persson
Norrbottenslan, Sweden.

SETS ALASKA TRADE
Recently three cars of lumber
from Ketchikan were brought to
Prnce Rupert to be sent over the
Canadian National Railway for de
livery in the United States, says the
Frince Rupert Empire. Still more
recently a large barge bearing two
carloads of box shooks, from Wran
gell, reached Prince Rupert, bound
for the United Slates over the same
line.
ANIMALS WERE WISE
Life, which has become a matter
of one hunter after another, is
getting too tough for the deer of
the north end of Baranoff Island.
They are vacating the meadows
and feeding grounds there and
migrating by the water route to
Partofshikof Island, which is a pro
tected area, where hunters go only
at the risk of their liberty and
pocketbooks.
