We have had the pleasure of a call
from John Hirsch, a miner whose
home is in Cordova.
John Sutherland of Seattle, who
h:*« been on a business trip to Siberia,
is stopping in Kodiak for <• time. He
has made us several pleasant calls.
Mrs. A. C. Goss who has been in
the California Sanitarium at Belmont
near San Francisco for some weeks is
gaining in health very rapidly. Be
fore g 'ing to Belmont she weighed 98
pounds, when we last heard from her
she weighed 127 pounds and had en
tirely lost her cough. She expects to
return to Kodiak in the early spring.
The old Bavins that “variety is the
spice of life" has proved true with us
as we have been trying the plan of
rotation of work for the middle sized
boys during the past few months.
We have found the plan a very excel
lent one. The work of each boy is
changed the first of every month, and
for a week or so the tasks arc quite
enthusiastically performed, and by
the time they have become monoton
ous the month has passed and there
is the novelty of a change. It has
tne added advantage of making all
the boys thoroughly familiar with the
whole round of work.
