BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL

PRESS OF ALASKA
i
Cordova, Seward, Anchorage i
and Fairbanks are in the
throes of a rat exterminating
program. The same mania to
rid the earth of the rodents
flared up in the towns of
Southeastern Alaska recently,
fanned by the presence of two
attractive young ladies from
the states..
Something of a sensation was
created at Utica, N. Y., Aug
ust 19, when Mr. and Mrs. A.
J. Adams, of Cordova drove
in there with their automobile
bearing an Alaska license
plate.
The firm of Brown & Hawk
ins, which has been prominent
in mercantile circles in Anch
orage almost from the begin
ning of the town, will with
draw from the Anchorage
field and confine its activities
entirely to Seward.
W. E. James and Mrs. John
ston arrived in Chitina recent

come out by the way of Gul
kana. It is reported that an ex
ceptionally good clea.n-up was
made on the James property
this summer.
A fine young grey goose was
found swimming around the
dredge pond at 29 below, on
Dominion, by J. W. Rendell,
who was over on that side of
the hill, says the Lawson News.
He immediately let drive with
his shooting iron bagging the
fowl. According to men around
that part of the country the
grey goose is the first to be
bagged in that section for
many years.
Coyotes, according to reports,
are infesting the hills and
roads around Hunker, says the
Dawson News. One of the Last
Chance farmers has reported
that while on the way to town
recently he was followed by
several of the animals, who
kept only a stone’s throw away
from his wagon. The coyotes
followed just inside the woods
and made their presence
known by howls. This is said \
to be the first time they have j
been seen in such numbei’s in
that part of the country.
“Judge” A. F. Stowe, a well
known old timer of the North,
who has been in charge of
the Alaska Road Commission
warehouse at Anchorage dur
ing the past summer is a pat- j
ient in the government hospi
tal undergoing treatment.
George Colwell, road fore
man on the Alaska railroad,
recently suffered painful in
juries when the speeder on
which he was traveling collid
ed with the rear end of a
freight train at Mile 54. The
accident occurred near a curve
where the rear end of a freight
train had beeij left standing
while the forward half was:
being moved southbound over
the summit. Colwell did not
seen the caboose until he was
almost upon it, because of the
poor visibility due to a drizz-,
ling rain. The speeder struck
the caboose and Colwell was
thrown off, falling 12 feet
from a low bridge.
Frank A. Aldrich, veteran
member of the Territorial leg
islature from the First divis

term “to make way for a
younger man,” according to
the Senator, who said in a re
cent interview, “I’ve got no

portion of the burden of la\vT
making should be shifted to
them. For this reason I will
not become a candidate for
1 re-election to the Territorial
legislature.” Senator Aldrich
