DIARY ...
Some time ago in this column
we ran an item about a rabbit
brought to Kodiak as a pet de
spite the rabbit embargo. This
week, from an APO far, far to
the Westward, we received the
following letter:
“Just received my copy of the
Kodiak Mirror dated Nov. 18th.
“Read an excellent article, all
about a “Wittle Wabbit”—
i “This information may seem
strange coming from way out
here, but since that article was
written, the “Wittle Wabbit”
became a fond mother. She gave
birth to about 10 “wittle, wit
tle wabbits” a few days after
she arrived in Kodiak.
“Sure is fun to Bit way out
here and read your fine paper.
Things like that article, sure
bring back memories of 13 won
derful months spent in Kodiak
as a member of the armed forces
stationed at Ft. Greely.
“Hoping to be able to return
soon, I remain a faithful reader,
Lt. Wm. F. Swope.”
If we ever meet Lt. Swope we
must ask him to what grapevine
he also subscribes that keeps
him informed of rabbit habits in
Kodiak. And what he means by
“about” 10?
There was great stir in a local
residence recently, when a local
girl’s swain, returning from
Seattle, brought with him an
orchid A real, live orchid.
In the family group ages from
under 6 to over 60 were repres
ented, and to each it was a first,
new, and vital experience. None
had ever seen an orchid before.
It was a green orchid, the
florist said, but those viewing
it agreed it was more of a yellow
in color. But it could have been
orange with vivid magenta
spots and the wonderment
would have been the same.
The awe, in fact, was almost
1 as great as that evinced by new
comers to Alaska when they first
view our wild flowers.
The Argus, Seattle’s weekly
newspaper, has just published
its large Christmas number in
beautiful magazine format. The
entire issue is devoted to Alaska
and contains many valuable
articles and beautiful camera
views of Alaska scenes. Copies
are 50 each.
Men stationed in the Aleu
tians may agree on what they
think of “the Chain” but there
is considerably less unanimity in
the way they spell it.

tion have counted 111? different
j spellings for Aleutian in home
going letters, when, they say, it
got tiresome and they lost track.
Eighty-seven versions started
well enough with “A” but got
tangled later on. Fourteen began
with “E”, six with “L”, four
with “I” and at least one with
“O”.
Some of the more peculiar
spellings, as reported by the
Sourdough Sentinel, at Ft. Rich
ardson, Alaska, were Aleautian,
Alaushing, Alesesion, Aleuteu
tian, Aluation, Eleaution, Illu
tian, Lucian dc Oleutian.
Ah; for the good, old days,
when newspapers in Alaska
chronicled the outflow of gold in
ton quantities.
Now all we can chronicle is
the arrival of a gold shipment
to Kodiak, weight, one pound,
on a recent incoming Alaska
Steamship vessel.
The shippee: Dr. Eugene Sul
livan, local dentist.
Major Roy Craft, aide to Gen
eral Charles Corlett, and founder
of the Kodiak Bear, recently vis
ited his father, Dale Craft, shin
gle mill manager in Raymond,
Wash.
i In a story on Major Craft’s
visit the Raymond Herald said:
Major Craft said the peoples
of Europe have the highest re
gard for the Yanks. Home made
flags bearing 13, 45 or 48 stars
were used as welcoming wands
