ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers

A waiter on the steamship

as the orchestra was playing

member You By,’’ and attack
ing a passenger, breaking sev
eral chairs before he could be
subdued and placed in irons.
The insane streak was present,
it is said before he heard the
orchestral rendition.

Alaska Notes .
The Alaska railroad will be
in the market for 100,000 ties
annually for the next ten years,
it was announced recently by
Manager O. F. Ohlson. Specifi
cations are to be altered for
the benefit of the tie cutters
in different districts.
Elwyn Swetmann, druggist
of Seward, has been appointed
manager at Seward for the
Alaska Airways. The appoint
ment was made by Manager
Karl K. Katz, of the Anchor
age base. Busienss for the com
pany has picked up so rapidly
that it was deemed necessary
to have an agent there.
The Fairbanks aviation field
may be changed to the name
of Eielson field, if a petition
sent to the city council pre
vails. The petition, signed by
a large number of Fairbanks
ans, sets forth the name of;
Weeks field was applied when I
the park was designated for
playground purposes, but the
name has nothing in common
with aviation.
