SELDOVIA, March 28.—The peti
tion to have I)r. Frank Burg in ap
pointed postmaster of the Seldovia
postoffice proves him to be a very
popular man. The petition was pre
sented to 127 patrons of the postoffice
an# 122 thought favorable of the
choice, and five decided to be neutral.
Dr. Burgin is a democrat and very
favorably known.
The steamer “Tyonic” will be put
in the water for the summer’s coal
business on the spring tides about
‘
April 1.
One of the Port Graham natives
cutting piles at Dogfish bay, cut his
a^m with an axe and was brought to
Seldovia to be treated by Dr. Burgin.
It is a severe injury.
Andy Johnson and his wife are the
proud parents of a bouncing 15 pound
girl, bom on March 14.
Captain R. Bowen delivered ore
sacks to the chrome iron prospect
claims near Fort Chatham, where
there is ore ready for shipment.
Three thousand dozen eggs and
some fresh fruit was taken to An
chorage on March 9, by the first gas
boat of the season to make the trip
up the inlet.
Captain Anderson has finished re
pairing the “Buffalo” and was trying
out the engine the other day. He is
also building a 50-foot scow for the
summer work.
J1* A. Maghill, “Beluga King,” will
arrive here about April 1, to test out
a new industry and we all hope to
see him put up a pack that will com
pel him to enlarge his plant for an
other season’s work.
We have been hoping to hear that
the postal department would consider
%mail route from here to Illiamna as
the accumulation for that office is
considerable.
Three trade and manufacturing site
locations have been made up Kache
mak bay this month.
The Seward Fish company sent a
circular letter to be passed among the
fishermen, but the letter failed to
state any price for the clams and
shell fish wanted. Shipping fresh fish
to Seward will be hazardous as most
of the steamers call here north-bound
and that will mean that the fish must
be on board from three to five days
before delivery which is bad for the
buyer and seller.
I Port Graham cannery is 1 Tinning
full time getting ready for the season
and making cans.
Spring fish are beginning to show
and many are caught during the good
days.

OLD-TIMER IS PROTEC TING
COLONY OF BEAVERS
Out on the Knik trail to the Wil
low creek mines road at Mile 23':i
is the home of one of the finest old
timers in Alaska—no other than the
well known "Forty-Mile” Miller. He
has a beautiful place on the little Su
sitna river, good buildings erected and
a fine farm started.
“Forty-Mile" may get a little b:t
peeved, but we hope not, when we say
that near his ranch—for some unac
countable reason—the beavers have
selected a portion of the flat as a
home, and there is at that point, per
haps, one of the largest beaver colo
nes extant. And Mr. Beaver, when
he selected “Forty-Mile” for a neigh
bor was wise for his years. No bet
! terfriend could have been selected.
, Mr. Miller is a miner and not a
trapper. When the writer was there
last, a little over a year ago, Miller
showed us some steel traps that he
had found up near the beaver dam.
He stated that the owner could have
them by calling at his place, but if
he imagined he was going to get
any beavers out of that pond he had
another guess coming.
Mr. Miller told us that during the
previous summer he believed that lie
had seen as many as a thousand beav
ers working on their project at one
time, and he has many interesting
stories to tell of the industrious lit
tle animals and their habits.
If any one wants to go up there and
do some photographing next summer
we believe that it can be arranged,
i but do not go there for a specimen;
that won’t do. And all this protec
tion to beaver is given by an oldtimer
gratis to Uncle Sam.—Ex.

The city beautiful
has gone up from the hundreds of ^
property owners in Anchorage. The *5
city administration is back of the1J
movement and the civic organizations . jS
will no doubt follow the lead and
make a strenuous campaign for a ',~
cleaner and healthier Anchorage. The jj
time of the year is at hand when the
necessary accumulation of refuse
during the winter months should be
disposed of. The melting snow caus- ;
ed by the warm spring sun brings to |
light the unsightly ash heap, piles of ;
tin cans and other refuse that mars .
the otherwise .harmonious setting of a i
ri
perfect scene of contented homes. .
Civic and personal pride will come
to the rescue and there is no doubt
but that the property owners of An
chorage will heed the cry and co-oper
ate with the movement to make this
city the show city of the territory.
Mayor Watts has advised The Times
that if the property owner will col
lect the refuse in piles on the rear of
the lots the administration will do
the rest. Fair enough, and the prop- C
ertv owner and renter will take ad- 5
vantage ot the broad offering of the 6
city administration. The administra
tion is going deeper into the matter
than removing the debris from pri
vate lots and has outlined a campaign v
to clean the streets, alleys and other 5
holdings under their jurisdiction.
Aside from personal satisfaction J
and personal reasons this cleaning up )
campaign should be made a city move- t
ment, for Anchorage will entertain -
many delegations of note during the
coming year and a uniformly clean
city always makes a lasting impres
sion. Nor does the movement neces
1 sarily need be confined to cleaning up
the streets and yards; there is always
paint, and paint is so refreshing and
pleasing.
Heed the cry for a city beautiful
and do your part towards making
I Anchorage a ( leaner and healthier
■ city.
