BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Ralph Wein, veteran Alaska
airplane pilot, left Fairbanks
for the Koyukuk country a few
days ago and after being miss
ing for several days walked
into Betties carrying a load of
mail for that section. Wein was
forced down between Wise
man and Betties and his plane
was damaged beyond repair.
Mrs. Alice Olsen was recent
ly appointed U. S. Commission
er at Hoonah by Judge J. W.
Harding. She succeeded F. H.
Clark, who left for the States
several months ago. Mrs. Ol
sen is the first woman to hold
such a position in this division.
Word has come out of Juneau
that governor Parks pocket- ve
toed the senate bill making
surveys of mining claims appli
cable as annual assessment
work. The governor also pock
et-vetoed two other bills cover
ing certain road improvement
projects.
Dominic Funera, native of It
lay and a resident of the North
since ’98, died recently at An
chorage from tuberculosis. As
“Spaghetti Joe,” Funera was
known to most old-timers and
had mined and prospected in
many sections of the territory
during the many years of his
residence.
The Navy’s second air map
ping expedition to Alaska ar
rived on the west coast a few
days ago and will complete the
series of air maps started last
year, operating between Jun
eau and Ketchikan. The en
tire mapping party is made up
naval officers, commanded by
Lieutenant Commander A. W.
Radford.
Reviving his two-year old
fight on the governor’s office,
and also launching a new one
on the Territorial highway en
gineer, Robt. J. Sommers,
James Wickersham has again
started a movement designed
to prevent payment of territor
ial funds to clerks in the gov
ernor’s office and to stop Som
mers from collecting his salary.
The first step in the renewed
fight was the sending of letters
to the auditor and treasurer to
the effect that they would vio
late the law if they paid out
money for the purposes men
tioned, and citing penal provis
ions in the so-called Controller
bill. Wickersham makes the
claim that the recent territor
ial enactment does away with
the highway engineer until the ,
election in November, 1930.
Fairbanks voters recently en
dorsed a proposal of the city
council to grant a 20-year fran
chise for lighting and heating
to the American States Public
Service Company. About 900
registered for the election and
the franchise proposal passed
by a vote of about 6 to 1.
The Gorst airplane Alaskan
recently made a trip from Cor
dova to Anchorage and return
with seven pa^sdngers. The
trip from Cordova to Anchor
age was made in one hour and
forty minutes.
In addition to losing his ves
sel and 10,000 pounds of fish a
board the craft, Capt. Carl O.
Angell and his crew of two
fishermen were forced to row
40 miles in an open boat before

being picked up, following the
destruction by fire in Principe
Cana] of the halibut boat Ra
old Amundsen.
Attacked by a pack of vicious
malamutes, Mrs. Frank Iver
son of McCarthy, recently re
ceived scores of wounds and
was saved from probable death
only by the bravery of her com
panion, Mrs. Dixie Olson, who
beat the animals off with a
driving whip. More than 200
stitches were necessary to close
the wounds in Mrs. Iverson’s
body. Mrs. Iverson’s act in
brushing hurriedly past the
lead dog without warning is
believed to have precipitated
the near tragedy. The animal
leaped at her instantly and was
follewed by the rest of the
team. Knocking her down the
dogs leaped on her prostrate
body, biting her from head to
foot and all but stripped her of
clothing before Mrs. Olson
could reach her. Mrs. Iverson
was taken to the Kennecott
hospital, where she was later
reported as out of danger, tho
she will be scarred for life.
Deep snow in the mountains
of McKinley Park and adjac
ent areas is causing heavy loss
of mountain sheep, according
to reports to the Alaska Game
Commisison. Snow conditions
this spring are worse than at
any time within the memory of
old-timers. Inability of the
sheep to obtain feed result
ed in much suffering among
the animals, many having died
in recent weeks and many more
were on the verge of starvat
ion. A number driven by storm
to the vicinity of Igloo creek
were found by rangers flound
ering in the deep snow and so
weak that they made no resist
ance to capture.
The abandoned military build
ings and grounds at Sitka
would be transferred by the
federal government to the Ter
ritory of Alaska, to be used as
a home for aged, sick and in
firm pioneers, under a bill in
troduced in Congress by Dele
gate Sutherland.
Articles of incorporation of
the Solar Development Co.,
Ltd., were filed recently in the
office of the secretary of Alas
ka. The headquarters of the
company are at Montreal and
operations will be carried on
in Alaska at Rua Cove, Knight
Island. The company is capital
ized for $150,000.
The Fairbanks Exploration
Company started its second op
erating season this month and
its dredges are now at work.
Among the old-timers of the
North who joined the great
majority during recent days
were Alexander Butterbaugh,
resident of the Juneau district
for 35 years, who passed out
very suddenly at Auk Bay;
Louis C. Anderson, for many
years a member of the firm of
Anderson Bros. & Nerland, of
Fairbanks, and Clarence Crites
a widely known resident of the
interior and prominent in the
quartz mining industry of that
region. His^ieath is attributed
to constant inhalation of quartz
dust.
