A. A. Wakefield, 64. civil engin
eer and a resident of Ketchikan
since 1902 pased away at that place
last week, acording to the Chron- i
icle He is survived by his widow
who is a. resident of Ketchikan; a

bell: another daughter, TJorothy.

a son, Arthur A Wakefield. Jr., of j
mvmnip, Washington. Mr' Camp-|
bell is the master of the U. S.,
Coast and Geodetic Survey boat
.O’scoyeror with headquarters in j
Pea Hie. Mr Wakefield was mayor .
of Ketchikan 1918-19. He was iden- :
tiffed, with the operation of "he '
“Coldstream” property an Oravma |
Island, and was also with the Had
ley smelter at one time as well as •
other mining properties in the
Portland Canal country .
“20 horsepower Swede,” Edwin
Sandbvk, who knocked the
horsehide off the ball, cleaning
the bases which were loaded, j
Other Bachelors hit the pill far
and wide but Ed’s blow was the
one which "killed” father and
tucked the game away on ice.
Valade, in the box for the Ben
edict’s. tossed steady ball thru
out but his support was terrible.
Catcher "Abe” Urie broke down and
cried like a child at the bobbles
wdiich were so unusual, figuring
former performances. The ab
sence of “Home-run” Urbach was
sadly felt, though McAuley drove
over a circuit clout to the right
field bleachers.
Two thousand spectators were
‘horse’ after the game as they
drove home.
The series now stands even
with a game each to their credit.
The Army expects to shove their
team into action next week.
Umpire White handled the
game superbly.

TOWARDS SUCCESS- |
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. Rut when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
Bank of Seward
We pay 4 per cent interest compound semi
annually on ail savings accounts.
