old-time Alaskans as "Rough
house Bill,” died recently at

tablishment of a radio broad
casting station at Fairbanks
are under consideration by the
Chamber of Commerce of that
city.
For the manufacture of seal

Having escaped while being
carried in a box from a pen
toward a boat at Seldovia, a
valuable silver grey fox, the
property of J. V. Waller, is
raiding the chicken roosts of
the village every night.
Seldovia will have an eigl t
page weekly newspaper earl> j
in December-The Cook Inlet j
Enterprise. Lester Busey will j
be editor and publisher. For j
almost six months, he has
been issuing a small eight-page
typewritten weekly paper.
Casper Ellingen is reported
to have obtained the J. C.
Berry Holding Co. dredge for
use on Deadwood Creek, near
Central House', in the Circle
City district. The dredge,
which has not been operated
for several years, is near Mill
er House and will have to be
moved 20 miles..
Regulaf bi-weekly airplane
service was established Novem
ber 10 by the Alaska Airways
between Anchorage and Flat,
with stops enroute at Medfra,
McGrath and Takotna. The
service is expected to demon
strate the feasibility of regular
air mail delivery throughout
the winter, and thus induce
the postal department to let
air-mail contracts.
Demand for coal along the
Alaska railroad warrants re
sumption of mining at the Evan
Jones property in the Matanus
ka field north of Anchorage,
it was announced recently.
Operations were expected to
employ between 20 and 40
men.

mates, Moctoc, Slim and Tilly,
driven by Gunnar Kasson with
diptheria serum to Nome in
January, 1925, are now enjoy
ing their declining years in the
Brookside Zoo in Cleveland,
Ohio. The hardest work of
the celebrated dogs is to pull a
lawnmower occasionally.
Persons riding in planes of
the Alaska Airways, which is
based at Fairbanks, have the
satisfaction of knowing that if
they are killed their heirs will
receive $25,000. Blanket insur
ance in this amount is taken by
the Airways to cover every
passenger. - -
