ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence)
Various complaints have
been received from Alaska by
the Delegate over the recent
order of the Alaska Railroad,
stipulating that no new em
ployees over 50 years of age
will be employed on the rail
road. It is contended that the
order is not only unfair but
that it cannot and will not be
enforced. The matter has been
called to the attention of the
Secretary of the Interior.
Andrew A. Simons, of Lake
view, Alaska, has been ap
pointed Alaska Game Commis
sioner from the Third Judic
ial Division to succeed Dr.
William H. Chase, whose 4
year term expired June 30.
the Bureau of Biological Sur
ver, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, announced.
The chairmanship of the Com
mission, held by Dr. Chase,
will be filled through election
by the five members of the
commission, which consists of
one member from each of the
four judicial divisions and a !
fifth member, who is the chief |
resident representative of the
Biological Survey in Alaska. ,
Mr. Simons is a naturalized
citizen of Alaska, and for sev
eral years has been registered
guide in the Territory.
Don Meldrum, engineer for
the Zellerbach interests, in a
recent interview at Ketchikan,
stated that his company had
not abandoned the plan to
build a large pulp mill in Alhs
ka. He stated that the wooden
container was doomed ana
that the paper container would
hereafter be used by cannexs
and other shippers. The paper
container, he said, saved the
companies thousands of dol
lars annually in freight charg
es.
ALASKA NOTES
Tin containers for the sal
j mon industry are the most val
| uable single commodity import
ed into Alaska.
Five fishing boats have filed
salvage suits against the steam
er Northwestei'n, which lost
her rudder in Ci'oss Sound,
last November. The suits total
$40,000.
Night poachers took a fe
! male mink and eight young
mink from pens close to the
dwelling house of John T.
Yorke, fur farmer near Peters
burg.
At Ketchikan recently a
grouse flew through the win
dow of Henry Howick’s store
and fell dead inside. It proved
to be a $60 feed for Henry, as
his plate glass window wa<
t shattered as if by a cannon
ball.
F. II. Gray, 78 years old and
a resident of Alaska for 40
years, passed away at Wrang
ell recently, a victim of heart
disease. He was an authority
on Territorial bird life. A col
lection of birds, prepared by
Gray, is on display at the mu
seum at Juneau. He was war
den at Wrangell for the bur-j
eau of fisheries.
