persuade them that changed boun

them to pray for the executive i
head of the United States, but

One of the largest of recent real
| estate transfers in Seward occurred
recently when Leo Margules pur
chased the interest of E. L. Whit
temore in the property which they
have heretofore held jointly. The
property includes the Northern

and the Seward Grill. Mr. Whit-1
temore has leased the Northern
property from his former partner

A large pack of wolves has re
cently congregated in the vicinity l
of Ketchikan. Walter Anderson,
an employe of the Citizens Light,
Power and Water Company, was
at one time completely surrounded
by these animals about 200 yards
off the Charcoal Point road oppo
site the Smiley cannery. They cir
cled around him Indian fashion,
closing in ail the time, until he de
cided that a battle with wolves
when armed with a Stilson wrench
can be done better in the movies
than at Ketchikan, so he adjourned
the meeting and went into town
for a rifle.
