of the court at Valdez, who
went from there to accept a
position in China, was recently
married there to a young man,
member of the Whitney family

A terrible accident happened
recently near the Treadwell
Yukon camp, at Mayo when
William Coltart was instantly
killed by falling under one of
the company’s big ti actors
when in motion. Coltart had
been working for this company
lor a long time and was very
popular. His death was purely
accidental, with no one to
blame unless it was poor Bill
himself. He came from Glas
gow, Scotland, and was 45
j yeai’3 of age.
i Nome distpatches report that
j the Eskimos of that section are
1 alarmed over the disappear
ance of an Eskimo woman
known as Tootsie, who vanish
ed recently when the ice sud
denly moved off shore a con
siderable distance and then
then broke up. It is not defi
1 nitely known if the missing
woman was on the floe or not
but she is supposed to have
been engaged in crab fishing
through holes in the ice. Toot
sie possessed a certain local
fame owing to her connection
with the Stefanson expedition.
Preliminary work prepara
tory to the dredging ot
Wrangell Narrows will be
st arte d about April 15, it was
recently announced by Major
I . E. Oliver, acting district en
gineer. Dredging is expected
to start at Petersburg Bar

ment project, of which the

bors program last year. The
current Rivers and Harbors ap
propriation carries $175,000
for this season’s work.
i Alaskan outbound commerce
! for the month of February had
declared value of $2,683,962,
of which $1,4845,36 represenl
| ed fur shipments by mail dur
ing 1925 but not reported to
customs authorities until last
month, according to the
monthly statement of ' com
merce issued by J. C. McBride,
collector of customs. It was
considerable less than the val
ue of Alaskan commodities
shipped to the States in Feb
ruary, 1925. Sharp declines
were recorded in both fishe
ries products, the main items of
Alaskan exports during the
winter months. Fisheries pro
1 ducts shipped out during the
; month were valued at but
; j;107,248, which is believed to
oe one of the lowest on record.
I Last year in the same month
the fisheries industry shipped
>ut products to the value oi
f.371,280. Copper dropped
Yom $1,034,352 in February,
1925, to $757,480 last month.
A Russian bell thought to
have been brought to Alaska
n the early days of the Rus
I sian occupation, has been re
i ceived at Juneau, the gift of
Rev. Gerasim Sebwaltz, priest
in charge of the Afognak
; church. It is the first bell
among the possessions of the
museum. Rev. Sebwaltz states
it was found by him in a mas*
of debris benath the churcn.
No information concerning it
I could be learned from the
; people of the Afognak dis
trict and it bears no inscript
| ion, but from its design and
aged appearance it is thought
to be one of the first bells
brought to this country by the
Russian missionaries, and was
probably taken to Afognak
when the church was estab
! lished there in 1800.

A report from Atlin, B. C.t
gays that Horace Rutherford,
a member of the office staff
of the Engineer mine, has been
missing since February 7.
Rutherford had left Engineer
on skates to go to Ben-My
Chree, some 12 miles away,
taking with him the mail for
Mr. and Mrs. Partridge and
Miss Dalton. He had been
warned that the ice might not
be safe, but he disregarded
ihe warnings thinking that ev
erywhere on the lake the ice
would be as safe as in the vi
cinity of the mine. Oh Wed
nesday. February 10, Superin
tendent Drinker sent out a
search party, but no trace was
found of the missing man. He
had not reached Ben-My
Chree. A fall of snow had cov
; ered any tracks that otherwise
might have been apparent.
There can be but little doubt
that Rutherford went through
the ice.
The final report of the grand
jury at Fairbanks recently con
demns certain leakages of in
side information from federal
offices ii? that division, such as
advance information to violat
ors of the Eighteenth amend
ment, who are about to be
raided-. According to the jury,
it seems there is an under
ground channel leading from
some of the federal offices
which should be stopped. The
grand jury also recommends
that the maximum time be im
posed in ail jail senteneces in
all liquor cases, as small fines
only serve as a license to
people breaking the law.
