Ed. S. Orr, pioneer of Alaska,
and candidate for delegate to
Congress in 1910, former ol
Tacoma and for a dozen year*
a resident of Chehalis, died at
his home there June 29th.
The Alaska Railroad has pur
purchased from the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, two loco
motives of the Mikado, type,
for delivery early next spring.
These are the first new loco
motives purchased since the
road started operations.
Olaf Thomson, who had been
employed as a train motorman
in the Alaska-Juneau mines
for the last six years, died re
cently in the St. Ann hospital
in Juneau. He sustained a
fracture of one of his legs, be
low the knee, a few days pri
or to his death, and died from
the shock.
An average pack of 4,000
cases of canned slamon daily is
the record of the Copper River
Packing Company at Port Nel
lie Juan. The plant has packed
over 50.000 cases of pink sal
mon and is said to be leading
other Prince William Sound
canneries by a slight margin.
The entire district is running
to capacity.
Very satisfactory progress is
being made with oil drilling
operations at Chickaloon, ac
cording to Captain Peterson,
head of the Peterson Oil As
sociation. The work of drilling
through the gravel near the
surface was somewhat slow
owing to the difficulty of hold
ing water in the hole, but
more favorable conditions were
encountered as the work prog
ressed.
The freighter Tanana, un
loading at Kotzebue recently,
reported a severe earthquake
at 10 o’clock on the night ot
July 13. No damage was done.
Two Hudson Bay vessels, the
Baychimo and the Baymaud
are reported 200 miles south
of Nome enroute to the Arctic.
Eric Eckman, aged 25, a Finn,
won the Marathon Mountain
! race at Seward on July 4, the
big feature of the celebration
1 there. He made the 3,000-foot
' mountain climb and return to
the base in 58 minutes and
20 seconds. Werner Ohls, also
a Finn, was second, his time
being 09 minutes and 47 sec
onds. Edward Vogel, aged 40,
i last year’s champion, was
third, his time being 72 min
utes and 2 seconds. The race
was run in a downpour of rain
. which made the going slip
pery. One thousand dollars
was hung up as prize money.
The record made by Alex Boi
man in 1916, has never been
equalled. His time was 54
minutes and 12 seconds.
The Chamber of Commerce,
of Portland, Oregon, recently
created a committee to study
the possibility of establishing
. a steamship line to Alaska, as
proposed by the Foreign Trade
Committee after gathering
data on steamers available,
cargo prospects and operating
conditions. According to the
report of the committee the
project is feasible. Several
large and speedy vessels could
be obtained to put on the run,
it is said. The route would cov
er all Southeastern and South
western Alaska. Tentative
plans call for one round trip
per week during the winter
and more frequent trips dur
ing the summer months.
Deputy Marshal William But
ler arrived in Fort Yukon re
cently with the body of Frank
Patton, which was found in

j ing to death. The end is not
far off.’’ Five hundred and
eighty dollars were found in
Patton’s clothes. The body was
buried at Fort Yukon.

Henry Wolkins, who left Cor
dova recently to investigate {
reported volcanic eruptior
near the Copper River North
western railroad . returned
Horn his investigation and re
sorted that He y glacier
which apparently bad chang
ed its course during the last
year, was literally pushing ov
er the mountain and that ton
of rock were sliding from th;
peak into two canyons, raisin?
a dus! which might be mistak
?n for volcanic eruption wher
'ighted from a point near milt
75 on the railroad.
Due to the tremendous pres
ure the glacier nas crosswist
cracks from buckling: Hun
dreds and thousands of ton;
of rock crashed down the op
posite side of the mountain
with a roar which was heard
for fi\e miles. The mountain
has the appearance of being
hlrsted. One brack four hun
dred feet long and two feel
wide was noted in a peak
of soft shale formation
about 3,000 feet high.
An important silver-lead dis
:overy was made recently,
about twenty-three miles from
Keno, on a tributary of the
north fork of the MeQuesten
river. The lead is three feet
wide and has been traced for
a considerable distance on the
surface, giving assay' values of
60 ounces of silver.and 80 per
cent lead. The discovery is
* m
| , Yf
said to have caused a stam
pede from Keno. Pyramid and
Potato Hills are the treasure
boxes, so far, of this new dis
j covery. The discoverers are
t Carpenter, Forbes, McLean
| and McLean. They had done
I considerable prospecting there
, but it was only recently that
iheir efforts were rewarded.
John Oontardi and another
'aborer ,had a narrcw escape
rom serious injury at Fair
banks recently when the wall
it a coal bin which :s being ex
cavated from the new power
house of the Fairbanks Explor
>.t;<ui Company, <a\ed in. The
bin had been dug to a depth of
15 foul and the v'atF were be
ng boarded. The men were
' Jigging out from behind the
boards when the dirt started
o slide. One man saw it in
time to escape, but the others
were buried to their armmts.
2vcryone in the yards rushed
o their rescue with shovels and

Strawberries as large as hen’s
I ’ggs were brought to Juneau
! ecently by C. H. Anway, a
armor from Haines. Five of
he berries completely fill a
I >int glass jar. The jar has an
nside measurement of two
I nches and the berries just fit
■omfortably in it. They are

A combined apartment hotel,
and theatre, to be constructed
>of reinforced concrete, will be
elected in Fairbanks by Cap
tain Austin E. Lathrop at a
cost of $250,000. The building
will have a frontage of 50 feet
and a depth of 100 feet. The
theatre will have a seating
capacity of 600, and will have
i 3-manual Kimball organ.
Work on the structure will
commence about the first of
May next year.
Mount Pavloff, on the Alaska
Peninsula, which exploded
hree years ago Christmas Eve,
s apparently cracked all the
way from the tip of the crater
ight down to the base of the
peak, according to Alex Bolam,
guide and big game hunter,
who returned with a party to
Seward recently. The party
had their base camp on the,
Bering Sea side near the base
of Pavlof Mountain. The crater
is visible from this side, but
iot from the Pacific side, as
the crater proper is on the
side of the peak close to the
top. Vast columns of smoke
and steam rise from the crater
lip. Extending clear down the
dope to the tableland below,
a high blackened ridge runs.
At intervals along this ridge
seven or eight vents were dis
cernable, the last of which
was on the flats at the base
of the mountain. Smoke and
steam were consr-ntly emitted.
Guide Bolam is inclined to be
lieve that the mountain is
cracked all the way down, but
it may be possible, he said,
that a tunnel of lava has form
ed in one of the canyons, from
which smoke and fumes are
released 1'iom 'cuts flowing
from the crest. Just below the
crater there is a large portion
of the mountain which ap
pears to be crumbling in.
