BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Six thousand dollars worth ot
blue fox skins from the Sathei
fox farm on Nuka Island were
recently received in Seward,
the shipment being consigned
to the Seattle Fur Exchange.
There were 80 skins in the lot.
The Sather farm was started
only four years ago with a
few pairs of foxes.
In a raid made recently on
the gas boat T-946, owned by
one Cummins, a quantity of
moonshine liquor and beer was
seized by Special Agent Jones
at Ketchikan. Cummins plead
ed guilty and was fined $100
and costs. The boat was held
ahd forfeiture and condem
nation proceedings have been
started against it.
The native village at Metla
katla, on Annette Island, has
let a contract to Hubbel &
Waller for the installation of a
hydro-electric plant at Metla
katla. Cash will be paid for
new improvement, the money
having been saved by the town
council from the fish royalties
for several years past for this
purpose.
Gunnar Kasson left Nenana
recently with a load of Fleisch
man’s yeast cakes, and expects
to make a record trip. Last
winter he took to Nome the
diphtheria anti toxin during
the diphtheria epidemic, and
gained world wide fame.
It is understood that a move
ment is on foot among own
ers of dog teams in Fairbanks
to organize a kennel club and
conduct a series of dog team
races this spring, which will
be made an annual event.
Julius C. Smith, an Alaskan!
pioneer, died in Seattle Febru
ary 4, a victim of apoplexy. He
was one of the first men to
rush into the Yukon country,
and is said to have been one ot
the discoverers of pay on Gold
Run Creek, in the Dawson dis
trict. He operated mines in
Alaska and British Columbia.
Harry Platts, an oldtimer of
the North, was recently de
ported to England, his native
country. He is well known
around Dawson, Fairbanks,
Iditarod, Nome and the Port
land Canal district. Conviction
of violation of the prohibition
and narcotics acts brought
about the deportation.
Mike Knowles, a resident of
Teikhel, arrived in Valdez re
cently driving a dog team in
which was included a fine
black wolf. Mike stated that
he had caught the animal Iasi
spring when a pup and trained
it to the harness. The wolf
works as well in harness as the
dogs and gives his master the
same obedience and affection
as the other animals in the
team, although he still dis
plays traces of his native sav
agery toward strangers.

“Strachy” Acheson, propn-1
etor of a sandwich emporium,
a species of roadhouse located
about 2 miles from SkagwayJ
was arrested recently by pro
hibition officers, not for selling
sandwiches for $2.50 apiece,
as is said to have been his
practice, but for servihg with!
the sandwiches a choice brand 1
of tiger milk as a “chaser” to
wash them down. Acheson was j
fined $500 on pleading guilty
before the U. S. Commissionei <
at Skagway.
The drawing up of plans for
the construction of a bungalow
type clubhouse, early in the!
coming summer, was authoriz- i
ed recently at a meeting of1
John Bradford post of the
American Legion at Juneau.
It is estimated that the cost
of construction of the building
will be $5,000. Half of this:
amount was raised among the
members attending the meet- j
ing, and the remainder will
be raised among the members
of the post.
Clifford McClellan, of, the
Nome Dredging Comany, left
Fairbanks recently for Chata
nika to prepare for the haul- ■
age of dredge supplies and
materials which are expected
to arrive soon. The new Bea
ver District company expects
to have its dredge on Nome
creek early in March. With
this in view, construction of
camps and reinforcement of
bridges will be pushed as rap- j
idly as conditions will permit.
Mr. McClellan is establishing
a base camp at Chatanika.
According to a report by R. C.
Mize, meterologist in charge of
the Alaska stations, unusually
high temperatures prevailed
throughout the Territory on
i January 26. Nome reported the
same temperature as Seattle,
while at Bethel, on the Kusko
kwim the temperature was
two degrees warmer than Se
attle. All along the Southeast
ern Alaska coastal strip the
temperature averaged 46 de
grees above zero, the same as
that reported at San Francisco,
while at Sitka it was two de
gress warmer.
On the 10th day of November
James On’, a trapper in the
Ugaship district, went hunting
with one of his neighbors and
came to a group of alders
where On- discovered a huge
brown bear. He shot four times
at close range with his 30-30
rifle and the bear ran into the
bushes and laid down appar
ently dead. Orr went after the
, animal while his companion
remained quite a distance
j away. The bear got up and
Orr shot the fifth time when
the brute raised up on his
haunches and charged. Orr
was unprepared for this and
was struck in the facfe by a
huge paw breaking his jaw
and tearing his face. The ani
mal then circled his fore lege
around the man’s body in an
effoiit to squeeze and finish
him, but Orr kept on fighting.
At last the bear loosed his grip
on the trapper and with one
mighty blow knocked him for
many feet causing internal in
juries from which he died an
hour and a half later. The
bear was mortally wounded
and died immediately. It
weighed 1,400 pounds.—-Sew
ard Gateway.
The gas boat Buckeye own
ed by Glen R. Day, was recent
ly destroyed by an explosion
and fire, near Pennock Island.
The boat was valued at $5,000.
The origin of the fire is un
known. The gasoline tanks ex
ploded, blowing the deck and
upper works clear of the hull.
All attempts to extinguish the
flames were unavailing and
holes were cut in the hull to
sink the vessel.
Joe Wilson, sr., of Seward, re
cetly made application to the
city council for the position of
fire chief and chief of police
of that city. His application
w-as as follows: “To the Hon
orable Mayor and Members of
the Town Council: I hereby
make application for the posit
ion of chief of police. If elect
ed I promise to clean up the
town; if not elected I may do
so anyhow.”
Blue sharks, said to belong to
the man-eating variedly, are
appearing in Southeastern
Alaska waters for the first
time, so far as known. The
sharks are reported to be fol
lowing up a remarkable school
of herring recently appearing
in the Tee Harbor section.
The appearance of the sharks
is attributed to the unusual
ly warm weather prevailing
along the coast this winter,
which is believed to have caus
ed the fish to continue north
beyond their normal haunts
in pursuit of the herring.
Oscar Larsen, who was em
ployed as an engineer at
Treadwell a quarter of a
century ago, was recently the
subject of the following advei
tisement in one of the Seattle
papers:
“Can You Give Him a Home?
Have you a home for Os
j kar Larsen? He can pay $30
a month and can care for
I himself in every way except
putting on his shoes. Friends
are contributing^the amount
if we can find a home for
him to go to—Phone Capitol
4626.”
Larsen recently left the North
J after several years in Seward,
where he w as employed by
1 the Seward electric company.
