Two Men Arrested
At Dock
On Monday. Sept. 13, about 8 or
9 p.m., a call from Special Agent
Woodman of The Alaska Railroad
was acted upon at once by Chief
Clark and Patrolman Pierce, who,
after a conference with Woodman,
took position in the shadow of a
couple of gondola cars at the foot
of Second and Third Avenues.
After about «15 minutes a man
walked from the dock approach
along the beach toward the water
fall, at the same time talking to a
man who was coming aShore in a
small boat which had been tied to
the barge. (It is against regulations
for any small boat to be tied to
the barge, boat, or dock.)
The man ashore pulled the boat
up on the sand and the two pro
ceeded toward the two cars behind
which were the two officers.
As they steppd into the shadow'
of the cars they were m^t by the
officers who escorted them to the
city jail where they were kept un
til Tuesday when they appeared
before acting Commissioner South
ard. They were represented by At
torney Baumgartner who succeeded
in having the bail reduced from
$5000 to $2000.
In the sack which was allegedly
taken from the two men were an
electric waffle and an electric
toaster, together with the cartons
in which they were packed.

alleged theft. Cooper is at liberty

By MRS. HAROLD MAXWELL
The Highway Gals met a week
ago last Thursday at Boo Wither
up’s home. Those present were
Creo Ives, Annetta Gillespie, rNet
tie Bird, Edith Douglas, Imogene
Steinberger from town, and Mrs.
Harold Maxwell. Boo served a
beautifully decorated platter of lit
tle sandwiches and olives, “brown
ies." and coffee.
Carol Axtel's brother, Dick Wil
son, has come'down from Wasilla
to spend the winter with her and
go to school in Seward, where he
is in the eighth.
When Raymond and Irwin Tress
ler, Conny Tressler and Jake Keif
fer went moose hunting in the
Kenai area, they bagged no moose,
but did get a small brownie and a
coyote.
Harold. Ray and Frank Lewis re
turned from their four-day hunting
trip with a young moose, shot by
Ray and Frank, which was divided
thi%ee ways and joyfully packed
away into our lockers. Harold was
chasing a bear, when Ray and
Frank nagged their prize, but he
gave up that pursuit to help the
fellows skin, cut up and pack the
meat about four miles out of Ju
neau Flats over some rugged go
ing. Not an awful lot of moose
meat has found its way into Sew
ard this year, I understand; but,
sitting at the B & B counter ono
day this week, 1 overheard Bert
Walker tell flier Chris that what
has come in has been better taken
care of by the hunters than any he
has seen in previous years.
Friday, Ray Gillespie received a
telegram informing him of the
death in Seattle of his grand
mother, who raised him and his
brother. Saturday noon he left by
plane to attend the funeral. Our
thoughts have been with him, for
he dearly loved her and was un
prepared for the shock of her loss.
Marshall Ronne of Mile 7 and
Lee Berry of Mile 22 have recently
gone to work for The Alaska Rail
road.
A Mr. Christianson went to work
this week in Arndt’s sawmill on
the Nash Road.
Storekeeper Jack Lean of Coop
er's Landing was in Seward Thurs
day last.
Mrs. Alex Petrovich of Moose
River has moved back into town
for the winter, so that Alex. Jr.,
and Carla may attend school.
Tuesday afternoon Harold Max
well delivered the school children
out to the highway and then drove
to the airport to meet the plane:
and who should step off the plane
but Ethel Stout, Penny and Buckv,
who left Seward a year ago almost
to the day. Harold managed to cor
ral the children and bring them
out here for the night. Driving into
the clearing and parking the bus.
he called to Lou Ann and Lee to
come and see what was in the bus.
Walking down the length of the
car. Lou spied Penny seated with
in but was unable to believe the
evidence of her senses and, slightly
stunned, walked on by ‘‘in a daze."
as she later described it. It wasn't
until Penny called to her to open
the door that Lou Anne realized
that the miracle had occurred and

Penny Stout was truly back in
Alaska once more. Two ^more ex
cited little girls you never saw!
The next morning Penny and
Bucky enrolled in the Seward
school.
j It was interesting to note at the
beginning of this year’s school
term that, whereas at the start of
the school bus route out here four
I years ago there were just seven
children riding, this year the bus
carries twenty-nine and, when the
Mac MacCracken boys get out here,
there will be thirty-one children
riding into town on the school bus.
Guy Terrill, of Mile 3. dug about
a thousand pounds of his potatoes
this week. Finding that they were
still growing, he is leaving the re
mainder in the ground for a while
j longer.
j As for the Maxwell’s gardening
efforts, we find this Glacier Creek
bed a tough proposition. Hardld
picked out the spot for his straw
berries over a year and a half ago.
This spring he discovered that un
der the top soil at that place were
about twelve rotting trees from
fourteen to twenty inches in diam
eter, which he has pushed over a
ways and piled with a tractor—
after which he planted about four
dozen strawberry plants and vari
ous vegetables. Our vegetables, ex
1 cept for the parsley arrd radishes,
have not done so well, but we do
expect strawberries next year! The
soil and gravel and glacier muck
run in streaks out here, and we
hr.ve much studying of the earth
! yet to do to discover what the soil
1 needs to successfully produce.

“We are continuing to
encourage our employees 10 aumw

ber of factors which make us en
thusiastic about this program. In

is one of the ways in which we can
show the world our confidence in

The critical condition of interna

each of us that we make this show
