HOPE, ALASKA
(By Special Correspondent)
i While seining for salmon with
his mother, Mrs. Annie Stepetin,
in a small lake near by the village,
Paul Stepetin, a young man of 17,
capsized his tiny skiff and became
entangled in the seine. As he had
on rubber boots and could not
swim it was almosst impossible for
him to help himself and none on
i shore were able to swim. Before
j help could be summoned he had
! been in the water too long. Ef
j forts at resuscitation were contin
j ued for over two hours but were of
J little avail as life was gone. Paul
| was one of the brightest young
• native boys of the village and it
I was difficult for everyone to re
alize that his smiling “good day”
and jaunty swagger would greet
them no more. Paul leaves behind
to mourn his passing, a mother,
father, two sisters and a brother.
The brother and sisters are all un
der 12 years of age.

An epidemic of severe colds,
bordering on the old enemy ‘flu,”
spread rapidly through Unalaska
during May taking its toll in the
death of two—J o h n Serebnekoff,
an aged man of 70 and Eva Mer
culieff, aged five. Both died from
pneumonia.
* * * *
The SS. Starr brought Chris
Hale, principal stockholder in the
Alaska Salmon Company store in
Unalaska. B y previous arrange
ment papers transferring title of
the store to the Alaska Commer
cial Company, who also operate a
store here, were in readiness for
the necessary signatures and in a
half hour after his arrival here Mr.
Hale had turned over his Unalas
! ka interests to the Alaska Com
mercial Company, who now have a
clear field without any opposition
in the conduct of their general
merchandising, fur buying and
dock operations.
Mr. Jack Martin, agent for the
Alaska Comercial Company for the
past five years is closing up the
details of the business and will
then retire from active business!
but will remain a resident of Un
alaska. Has plans for the future
are not fully matured. Mr. and Mrs.
Martin are well liked in the com
munity and everyone is pleased to
know they will remain.

After enjoyng an excellent pro
gram at the Blue Fox Theater the
evening was concluded with a buf
fet lunch served under the sub
dued and colored lights in one
corner of the theater and accom
panied by soft strains of music
carried through the loud speaker
by the electrically equipped phono
graph. The idea was novel and in
formal and voted a great success,
with everyone willing to have it
repeated much and often.
Mrs. Manning, wife of the station
agent at Tunnel, and daughter
Charlotte, arrived in Seward to
meet friends coming in on the SS
Aleutian’ this morning
