John Benolkin, founder of the
Georges Inlet Packing com
pany, died recently at the
home of his son in Ketchikan,
at the age of 73.
The production of silver ore
.n the Mayo district this winter
promises to break all previous
records, according to Dawson
reports.
An epidemic of measles,
which swept Hoonah village
recently, resulted in seven
deaths among the children of
the village.
Twenty head of buffalo will
be shipped to interior Alaska
this sumer, from the States, ac
cording to Manager Noel W.
Smith, of the Alaska Railroad.
They will probably be taken
care of on the government
farm at Fairbanks.
Wolverine and coyotes are
reported to he doing inestim
able damage to all kinds of
fur-bearing animals and other
game in the Interior. Despite
the fact that more coyotes have
been caught 'this year than ev
er before, the coyotes are in
creasing alarmingly. Exami
nations of the stomachs of coy
otes showed that they are kill
ing off sheep as well as beaver,
marten and mink and if their
activities are not halted soon
there will be very little game
left in the country in a short
time.
The Cordova Daily Times has
been awarded a contract for
printing of the Bibliography of
Alaskan Literature, by Judge
James Wickersham. At the
last session of the Territorial
Legislature an appropriation
of $5,000 was made to have
the work published. It will
consist of over 800 pages,
bound into an attractive book.
Deputy U. S. Marshal W. M.
Eddy, well known in many

Mr. Eddy, who was 61 years
old, came to Alaska in 1887
and was stationed at Skagway
with the U. S. Customs Service.
He went to Dawson in ’98 and
then to Nome, where he lived
until 1917. He was clerk of
the Teritorial Senate in 1917
and is survived by his wife, a
brother in Oakland, California,
and a brother in Denver,* Colo
rado.
J. Fred Strathers, former city
clerk of Fairbanks, was recent
ly found guilty in the district
court at Fairbanks on all four
counts of the indictment charg
