to view the new wall decorations on

unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac

should by all means see tlieSfe.. new

is apt to result' in regret later,

In an account of the accident on
Pophyry mountain, which resulted in
James Barclay and Alex Herman be
ing killed in a snowsfide,-, the Mc
Carthy Avalanche says:
“Word came to McCarthy about
noon January X, that they were miss
ing. A small party immediately start
ed on a rescue, and owing to the
shortness of the days, and the danger
,of snowslides in the darkness, no
Ikrace was found. A larger party was
organized for the next day and open
ed the tunnel in which the men would
have entered to do the assessment
work, and found no one had been
n-!- ... . ,
there anti no work had been done. A
sfcareh'bf the mountain side at last re
pealed the body of James Barclay with
l 20 feet of rope about his waist, indi
cating that he was going to the res
cue of Herman, who had gone down
i the mountain side. Jimmy, it seems,
■ started a slide in which he met his
death. The coroner’s inquest arrived
at a verdict thpt these men had met
their death purely accidentally.”
Moose, Attention!
The L. O. O. M. will hold their meet
ing in their old quarters Wednesday,
| Jan. 31, as the new lodge room has
: not been completed. Candidates, we
will hold initiation. The smoker has

SEEDS DDE

FOR SETTLERS
(Seward Post)
Sufficient seed grain of the best va
rieties for culture in Alaska has been
accumulated by M. D. Snodgrass, gov
ernment experimental farmer of this
district, to supply farmers with small
amounts as a start for those desiring
to raise grain.
Snodgrass states that a letter ad
dressed to him at Kodiak, in which
those desiring grain will inform him
as to the kind they wish to raise and
the purpose for which it is intended
will produce results; that he will send
them a small amount of good seed.
After a stay of some length here.
Snodgrass is preparing to leave for
the experimental farm at Kodiak on
the next boat for westward. He 'will
remain there two two months and
then go to Matanuska where he will
engage in agricultural experiments
during the summer.
The results of Superintendent Snod
grass’ experiments at Matanuska last
season were very satisfactory, especi
ally as to small grain. Several spe
cies of rye proved adaptable to the
valley soil and a large acreage of rve
will be sown this spring, in addition
to the usual acreage of wheat and
oats.

At the meeting of the “Boosters’
Club” last night it was decided that
the organization hold a monster mass
meeting of all the people of Anchor
age Monday night, February 5, for the
purpose of providing ways and means
to assist in all possible ways in secur
ing harbor improvements and fortifi
cations for Anchorage.
Speakers have been secured to ad
dress the meeting and the club is de
sirous of securing all the assistance
possible, and it is claimed, is not par
ticular where this assistance comes
from, or whether it reflects to the
credit of the Boosters’ club or other
wise, as it is not the purpose of the
organization to advertise itself and its
members, but to boost the communi
ty.
Telegrams already have been sent
to our delegate and others for assist
ance.
This meeting, it is said, will not be
in the nature of an amateur debating ;
society, but on the other hand, speak
ers who know their subjects will be
heard. The announcement will be
made of the place of the meeting this
week.
