BRIEF IHMS FROM ALL
PARIS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Ex-Gov. Scott C. Bone and
Mrs. Bone have moved to At
ascadero, Calif., where they
will make their home in the
future, according to a recent
announcement.
Gov. and Mrs. Bone have re
sided at Long Beach for 'the
past year while he recuperat
ed from a severe illness that
necessitated two operations.
Ben F. Evans, Government
school teacher at Wainwright,
Alaska ,hls reported to the In
terior Department that a good
quality of coal has.been found
near Wainwright. The new
supply solves the vexing fuel
problem all along the Alaskan
north coast, it is said by offic
ials.
Apoplexy proved fatal re
cently to Jack Raferty, oldtime
mining man of the Koyukuk
district. He was at Wiseman
when stricken and died there
the following day. Raferty had
made his home in the Koyukuk
for many years and was known
to everyone in that camp.
Four wolves were recently
taken near Ferry, from a den
of five, it is reported. The pelts
of two females measured over
seven and one-half feet in
length.
Birge (Black ) Nels, for many
years a resident of Gravina
Bay, died at Cordova recently
following an illness of several
months. He was 64 years old,
and so far as known is survived
by no immediate relatives.
R. H. L. Marshal, who has
been in the mercantile business
at McCarthy for a number of
years, has sold out his busi
ness to Oscar Walhjold, a re
cent arrival from Norway. Mr.
and Mrs. Marshal have left for
the States, enroute to their old
home in Europe.
Fred Crew, aged printer and
journalist, who was lured from
type to gold during the Klon
dike rush, died in a lonely
prospector's cabin, in the Fair
banks district, recently. A
hastily scribbled note, left by
Crew’s invalid son, in a trail
mail box, told of the terrible
illness and death. The note was
found two days later.
A letter received recently by
Karl Thiele, Secretary of Alas
ka, from former Governor
Scott C Bone, cays: “I am al
most normal again after a
long hard siege, and expect to
resume active work at once."
Governor Bone also mentioned
having had a fine visit from
Earl Rossman, noted^ Arctic
explorer, who recently left
Alaskafor the States.

ESTIMATES CHEERFULLY FURNISHED
age, died recently in the hospi
tal bt Fairbanks shortly after
his arrival by airplane from
Circle Hot Springs- His condit
io:: on arrival was such that no
hope for his recovery was en
tertained. He was an old-timer
of the Circle district, and was
found about" a month ago in
his cabin there after he had
lain there helpless for some
time. He had been burned in
some manner and his feet
were frozen.
Major Douglas Hamilton Gil
lette, member of the Alaska
Road Commission, with head
quarters at Juneau, was mar
ried in Tacoma recently. The
bride is the former Miss Dor
othy Kyme, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Ellies, of Ta
coma.
A man named Jones was re
ported to have been taken ill
suddenly in the hills back of
Kanatak and was later found
dead by residents of the town
who went out to bring him in.
Nothing definite was learned
concerning the circumstances
except that an Indian arrived
at Kanatak recently and in
formed people that he had
seen a white man going about
in a circle up in the hills and
that he was afraid to talk to
him, but hurried on to the vil
lage. A party was formed and
later discovered Jones’ body.
It was not learned what caused
his death but, judging from the
boy’s story, it is quite possible
that Jones may have become
snowblind and tramped the
country in a helpless condition
until exhaustion and starvation
came. His pack was still on his
back when the body was
found.
Experiments in growing ber
ries in Alaska will be made
next summer by the Alaska di
vision of the United States Bur
eau of Education. Large cran
berries, grown in western
Washington, will be shipped to
Rcsboro Island, in Norton
Sound, southeast of Nome.
Native ci'anberries, which grow
over much of Alaska, are es
pecially abundant there. The
native berry is small but hardy
and by introduction of the
Washington product the bur
eau hopes to grow a hardy and
larger cranberry in Alaska.
Himalayan blackberies will be
introduced on a small island of
Southeastern Alaska in anoth
er effort to provide more
fruits for the Territory. Many
' of the islands of the Aleutian
chain are south of Ketchikan
and have mild climate suitable
for blackberries.
