DOUGLAS ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD
If anyone supposed, because the Are
tic Brotherhood, for want of a hall,
was unable to meet all summer, that it
was dead, the supposer would have en
countered a very lively corpse last
Tuesday night.
It was the first meeting for several
months, but there was a good attend
ance, and everybody had one of those
thoroughly good times that are only to
be had at an Arctic Brotherhood meet
ing. After an interesting business ses
sion, an adjournment was taken to the
banquet room where a delightful
lunch had been prepared under the di
rection of Alex Nelson. After the sand
wiches and the coffee, and the limburg
er cheese and what goes with it had
been discussed, there were a number
of songs and speeches. Hopp, Baub
1 its, McKanna, Bennett, Nelson and
Callaham, and a number of others
spoke, and Tom Carmony, George
Spence and others sang.
From this on this winter, the Arctic
Brotherhood will be strictly in it ev
ery Tuesday night.
HE HAS DISAPPEARED
The face of a well known Douglas
man has not been seen for a week. His
departure was the result of certain tes
timony in an Indian case which occu
pied the attention of the police couTt
about a week ago.
An Indian social gathering had end
ed in a drunken row. The Indians tes
tified that they gave some money to a
white man whose name they did not
know, but they designated the cabin
to the officers. The Indians testified
that after they gave the man the mon
ey, he went up town, presently a hand
was thrust through the door of the cab
in, and a bottle of liquor deposited.
Very soon after the testimony was giv
en, the owner of the cabin gave up his
job, and left for the British Columbia
line.
The man in question has many
friends in Douglas who do not believe
he sold liquor, but that he was afraid
he would be convicted on the testi
mony.
SCHOONER ELLIDA POUNDERS
AT ALEUTIAN ISLANDS
Belated news that reached the C.
W. Young Co. from the Aleutian Isl
ands two days ago tell of the wreck
ing last month at Sand Point, Aleuti
an peninsula, of the fishing schooner
Ellida, of Juneau, which set sail for
her long cruise to the Bering sea from
this port early in October.
The news came here in a letter from
Captain N. H. Johnson, commanding
the Ellida. The letter was written
from Sand Point, but was postmarked
Unga, where the nearest postofiSce is
located.
The trip of the Ellida was marked by
rough weather from this port and took
28 days. On the 29th day the vessel
was wrecked when within a few miles
of her destination. The CTew, all of
which were from Juneau made their
escape from the Ellida.
By dint of the hardest kind of work
the fishermen succeeded in saving about
two-thirds of the cargo of gear, stores,
freight and supplies. Only the engine,
a four horse power, was saved from the
boat itself, but the engine, Capt. John
son writes, is almost worthless, as all
the fittings were lost when the boat
broke up.
The Ellida was seeking location for
the codfishing industry and the enter
prise was backed by Juneau people.
Captain Johnson is not in anywise un
daunted by the initial misfortune and
the fishermen will build another boat
at Sand Point. Meanwhile fishing for
cod is being done by a loyal crew.
The Ellida is well known in Juneau.
For some time before the codfishing
scheme was launched, the schooner lay
on the beach below the sawmill.
NATURALLY
At Skagway they arrested another
suspect in the Guptil case. Some of
the evidence against the fellow is that
he has a squaw wife and goes out in
the op4en to change his shirts, leaving
the discard hanging on a fence. Any
man who will do that in breezy Skag
way should be arrested on suspicion no
matter what his domestic relations may
be.—Whitehorse Star.
