BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
A heavy storm and a 75-mile
pale swept Seldovia November
27th, practically destroying
the board sidewalks and blow
ing several houses down which
had been erected on the walks.
Late Dawson papers tell of
he invasion of the town of
Mayo by roving bands of cari
bou, and the residents are busy
laying in a supply of winter
meat. It is the first time in
r -.ore than 20 years that cari
bou have visited that section
of the country, their trek us
ually being nearly 100 miles
farther north. -
W. M. Dietrich, owner of the
Fairbanks Beverage Company,
arid a former resident of Cor
dova, Valdez and Anchorage,
vas recently taken into cua
tody at Fairbanks On the
charge of violating the prohib
ition law. He was found guilt)
of the charge in the Commiss

$250. - ' ‘
Word was received in Cor
dova recently of the death ir
the Swedish Hospital of Se
attle, of Mrs. William James
wife of the discoverer of the
Shushanna gold placer dig
gings. Mrs. James was a pio
neer Alaska woman, the com
joanion of her husband in al
i his prospecting ventures.

I “Mother Hill," old timer of
iNome and other camps, and
i familiarly called the mother of
Alaska^ who has been in An
chorage for the past three or
four months, left that- place re
cently for Fairbanks. “Mother
Hill formerly resided in Hyder,
leaving here last fall for Ketui
i«an last fall She began her
Alaska career at Nome in 1900
but left there for Fairbanks in
1903 to join the Fairbanks
stampede.
August Carlson, age 63, a
pioneer of Alaska, died in
Anchorage recently from stom
ach trouble. He was one of the
first to cross over the Dyea
trail. In the Dawson country
he is said to have amassed a
fortune, which he later lost in
mining ventures. Since his 'ar
rival in Alaska thirty-nine
years ago he had never made
a trip out of the Territory.
The recent appearance of an
enormous whale at Halibut
Cove was the cause of much
trouble among the many fish
ing interests there. The whale
not only destroyed nets and
drove the fish away, but suc
cessfully resisted all efforts to
drive it away, because no
means were found to kill the
leviathan of the sea. More than
200 rounds of rifle ammunit
ion were fired at the mammal
and although it is known to
have been hit several times,
the bullets seemingly had no
effect on the whale’s activities.
Dan Sutherland, delegate
from Alaska, will endeavor to
have Congress authorize the
extension of the air mail ser
vice to Alaska, according to the
Relegate in a recent state
ment.
Experimental flights * last
winter make the extension en
tirely feasible.
Sutherland will endeavor to
have the plan included in a bill
which will be presented at the
early session authorizing spec
ial contracts for the carrying
of mail through Alaska during
certain periods.

REMEMBER THE KIDDIES
Christmas collection boxes,
wherein those who wish to
contribute to the enjoyment of
the children at Christmas, may
drop their spare change, have
been placed in the various
business houses by the Com
munity Christmas Tree com
mittee. The money collected
will go to purchase presents
and goodies, for Hyder’s little
folks, which will be distributed
from the community Christmas
tree at Pioneer Hall Christmas
eve.
.Remember, folks, even a
dime or a nickel will add a bit
to the happiness of some kid
die on that happiest of all
days of childhood; so don’t
forget to drop in that stray
dime or quarter when you see
one. Remember that you were
a kid once-and jarloose. You’ll
get a pleasant reward in the
thought that you have helped
to make some little tot hap
pier.
