BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
C. H. Flory district forester
for Alaska, recently returned
to Juneau recently from an of
ficial visit to Washington of
nearly four months duration
where, after many conferences
and consultations with heads
of departments, he was made
Commissioner for Alaska of
the Department of Agriculture
and another step was taken
which placed all fiscal matters
of the various departments op
erating in Alaska in the De
partment of the Interior, which
will henceforth have charge
of the buying of all supplies
for the Alaska offices, which
include the Forest Service,
| Bureau of Public Roads, Agri
cultural Stations, Biological
Survey and Weather Bureau.
Already the purchasing of
supplies for the Alaska Rail
road and the Bureau of Edu
cation is, and has been for
months, in the hands of the
Department of the Interior,
which maintains a purchasing
office in Seattle.
The building committee of
the Associated Masonic bodies
of Juneau recently closed a
contract for the construction at
Juneau of a proposed new Ma
sonic temple, the price for the
construction being $45,000
which, with wiring, plumbing
and heating will bring the cost
of the building complete but
not furnished, up to $60,650.
With food supplies virtually
exhausted as a result of the
loss of the power boat Pioneer,
which operated between Cor
dova and Katalla, citizens of
Katalla recently wirelessed to
the United States Commission
er at Cordova urging that
provisions be rushed to them
at once. The last load of sup
plies reached the town on De
cember 10. The launch Vir
ginia was dispatched from Cor
dova immediately upon re
ceipt of the appeal.
The Anchorage office of the
Alaska Steamship Company
has been closed and A. H. Mc
Donald, representative of the
company there for many years,
will soon depart for Fairbanks,
where a large new office will
be opened. It is understood
however that arrangements
will be made for an Anchorage
agency.
Captain George A. Howe, old
timer of the Anchorage dis
trict, celebrated his eightieth
birthday anniversary recently.
The captain first came to Alas
ka in 1886, landing at Juneau
when that city had only one
steamer a month from Seattle.
During the 42 years that have
passed since he first set foot
in the Territory, the oldtimer
has visited virtually every port
of the north, including the
whaling waters of the Arctic.
A. A. Humfrey, veteran trav
eling man, has retired from the
Alaska field to assume the
