WELCOME GRAND
MASTER
Add Fellows of the Territory are enthusiastic about the
^capabilities and personality of Grand Master J. P.
Burson of Washington and Alaska who is making a gen
eral tour of the country and has just arrived in Seward.
According to advnce information the Grand Master has
been deeply impressed with the cordiality of his reception
and has had some very nice things to say about Alaska.
He will be given a rousing reception here because he is
'declared to be a “regular fellow”.
HERE AGAIN WITH A SMILE
Captain Billy Fawcett, who says that just because
he started out with the “Whizbang’’ people forget that
he has a dozen other magazines, is in town with Mrs.
Fawcett, planning a hunt down country. He says this
Alaska stuff is getting to be a habit with him.

which he has seen some outlandish places in Alaska,

Bed CM System
Although a new method of whal- '
mg was suggested in 1925 to Doc !
Ernest Couneill in charge of the ,
hospital at Cordova by J. D. Me- j
Connell of the light, power and!
|telephone system there, it is not!
yet apparent that the system has
been adopted, although it might be j
; under consideration.
!
i Tt seems, according to Fred Davis ■
inow in Seward who tells the story I
that Doc. Couneill was building the j
iNancy Jane, a speed boat at Cor-:
dova and Davis was the builder. It
i was long and racey and up in the |
avis was installing a modern i
iv hale gun. The Doctor was watch- 1
mg the proceedings with much in-j
j tercel . o McConnell strolled in. j
“What’ya got here Doc,?” asked :
!McConnell. “Well this is a new!
i design and I figure she’il have I
! plenty of power.’ said Doc.
“What speed do you expect she’il j
make,?” asks McConnell, who was |
always trying to pull the practical
joke on his friends.
“Well she ought to do 25 miles
an hour, ’ answered the Doc.
“Whacs that thing you got up!
there in the bows,?” inquired Me- !
: Connell.
“Well that’s a gun that will shoot
!un explosive bullet into a whale
when we approach him.”
“Now Doc”, says McConnell “you
don’t really need that. If you can
imake 25 miles all you need is calk
shoes a mallet and a plug. When
1 vuu sneak up alongside the whale,
I all you have to do is jump off on
his back with the plug and drive
| the plug into his blow-hole. The
I v,Thale will sink and can't come up
[again. Then all you have to do is :
[grapple.” It is reported that the j
[two are still friends.
