BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Charging that "organized
crime" existed in Fairbanks
and that “violation of the 18th
amendment is common” the
grand jury submitted its re
port, says the Fairbanks News
Miner, and adds:
Judge Cecil H. Clegg refused
to excuse the jurors and sent
them back to make a
more thorough investigation of
crime conditions and to return
indictments if such a state of
affairs exists,no matter how
long it takes.
An outstanding feature of the
recent session of the Grand Ig
loo of the Pioneers of Alaska
at Valdez was the passage of a
resolution calling for the erect
ion at some selected spot, of
a suitable monument in honor
of the Pioneers of Alaska.
The next session of the Grand
Igloo will be held in Anchor
age March 4, 1930.
Officers elected for the com
ing year include: Paul Rickert,
of Fairbanks, president; Dr.
W. H. Chase, of Cordova, and
Herman Gentsch, of Anchor
age, vice-presidents; George
Love, of Valdez, secretary, and
Cal. Brosius, of Seward, treas
urer.
Peter Monahan, pioneer Alas
ka prospector, passed away
suddenly from a heart attack
in Valdez a few days ago.
Monahan was one of the best
known prospectors of the Val
dez country.His most notable
discovery was the finding of
placer gold on Valdez creek,
which he named and which is
located near the headquarters
of the Susitna river. That was
in 1905, or thereabouts, and
the oldtimer had passed most
of his time in that region since.
Mrs. Dee Burke, old-timer,
formerly of Ruby and Iditarod,
died recently in Seattle after a
short illness from a stroke of
paralysis. Mrs. Burke had not
been well for more than a year
and was a victim of severe par
alytic tremors, which finally
resulted in her death. It is said
of Mrs. Burke th^t she was one
of the friendliest and kindest
of women in the Northern
country and always willing
to share her last loaf or stick
of wood with anyone needing
help. She was a life member
of the Anchorage Lodge of
Pioneers.
By authority of a bill passed
by Congress and sent to the
president for approval, $4,000
appropriated by the last terri
torial legislature for salary to
the secretary of Alaska is
made legally available, accord
ing to advices received in Jun
eau. This for services rendered
to the Territory by Secretary
Kar Thiele.
This appropriation was at
tacked in a suit brought by
Judge James Wickersham in
the Federal District Court im
mediately following the ad
journment of the 1927 legis
lature. The court held that
payment of salary to the sec
retary would be in violation of
the territorial Organic Act.
There is little remaining at
the old city of Iditarod. A
bank, a roadhouse, a postof
fice—and that is about all.
Everything is centered about
Flat City, some fifteen miles
distant. It is figured that the
two dredging plants now oper
ating there will have ground
1 sufficient to last them from
twelve to fifteen years.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
ESTIMATES CHEERFULLY FURNISHED
Improvements costing about
> 1500,000 and including a new
two-story office building, are
contemplated for Ketchikan
during 1929, according to O. B.
Ellis, assistant to the president
of the Pacific Utilities Consol
idated Corporation. Expendi
tures definitely scheduled in
clude a new freight and pass
enger steamer for the North
land Transportation Co. to cost
approximately $350,000; re
modeling the old Northland
dock, with a new warehouse
building on the dock, about
$50,000; additions to the Ket
chikan Cold Storage plant,
about $25,000 The proposed
new office building will cost in
the neighborhood of $75,000.
A new 1000 to 1200 ton, 12 to
14 knot, Diesel-powered pass
enger and freight boat is under
consideration. It is the intent
ion to place the boat on a reg
ular schedule. During certain
periods of the year the vessel
will probably make a round
trip between Seattle and Ket
chikan every week, having
specified days for sailing from
these points. The boat will be
equipped to carry a limited
number of passengers, probab
ly from forty to fifty.
There is a prospect that the
Alaska railroad belt will soon
have a tanning plant in which
it will be possible to tan all
kinds of hides, according to
Anchorage reports. It is the in
tention of those interested in
the project to get the plant un
der way as soon as the vats and
hemlock bark can be secured.
The tannery, which will be in
the nature of an experiment,
will be established at the Ek
lutna industrial school of the
bureau of education. The bu
reau wil lprovide the tanner
and necessary labor; the vats
and hemlock bark will be sup
plied by the Alaska railroad;
the hides by the department of
agriculture.
The steamship Aleutian, fin
est ship of the Alaska Steam
ship fleet, struck a rock near
the shore of Seymour Narrows
a few days ago. Within ten
minutes from the time the
steamship struck the rock, the
life boats were swung out and
the passengers placed in them,
ready to be lowered at a mom
ent’s notice. After striking
the vessel listed to port at an
angle of 45 degrees, and was
about thirty feet from the
rocky shore on the starboard
side. A heavy current was run
ning between the steamship
and the shore. A rocky point
was sticking out a half a boat
lehgth astern of the ship, pre
senting a menace.
After a half hour or so, the
tide began to rise, and Captain
Nord gave the order, first to
back a little and then full
steam ahead, and the big ship
slid off the rock and drifted
into slack water. After exam
ining the hull, the Aleutian,
under her own power, went to
Waldron Island and anchored.
The Alameda reached the
scene the following day and
took off the passengers, mail
and the deck cargo, later re
turning to Seattle. The Aleut
ian came in a couple of hours
after the Alameda on her own
power.
