Fishermen coming in with
fares of halibut report that the
:irso few days of fishing was in j
mighty fine weather. But the
liner fishing was under very se-5
vere conditions. Capt. Ole Sjur- <
son says that he encountered
waves at least ten fathoms
high. Where our crew was fish
ing. the waves were rolling some
high wide and handsome. Ten
fathom waves were mere riffles.
-o
It is being whispered about
that the first fish sold in Seattle
was a 500 pound-lot which brot
a price of 71 cents a pound. Earl
says he thinks it is his fish but
as yet he had not received re
turns. W'e think somebody made
a mistake wtien they said the
lot sold so cheap. They must j
ha ve meant $1.71. That is more j
in keeping with the Seattle
spirit-s.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express to our
many friends, the Alaska Native
Sisterhood of Petersburg, the
/Maska Native Brotherhood of
Petersburg, the Salvation Army,
Japanese friends, and others,
our appreciation of their kindly
sympathy and most generous
given us in our hour of bereave
ment and loss of our father Mr.
Barney Kake. We take this
means of expressing to those
friends an appreciation of their
help and sympathy.

■o
Fred Patten was in town dur
ng the week.
-o
R. K. Stewart, predatory an
mal hunter left for Kake where
le is trapping wolves. He felt
nuch concerned over a petition
sent to the Governor’s office
)rotesting the use of poison in
'hat vicinity. /This objection
s the result of an experience 1
it Kake when Mr. Terhune, now ]
;hief of the Biological Survey 1
hrew poison about Kake village j
>romiscuously. It is claimed 1
hat the death of a child was a i
result of this use of poison. So,
rather than have any other such
experience, the people of Kake
are raising objection.
Mr. Stewart plans to meet
with the people of Kake and
try to overcome the prejudice
against that method of exter
minating wolves. He was very
fair-about the matter when seen
and stated that if unable to ov- \
ercome the objections, he would i
discontinue the use of poison, j
But that it would mean that
winter extermination of wolves
would virtually cease.

De GROFF RICHES CAME
FROM NORTH
-o
That the wealth of Mrs. Lena
De Groff, whose death yester
day at Palm Springs, California
was reported in an Ascsociated
Press dispatch, came from the
famous Chicogoff mine in south
eastern Alaska is the statement
of Fairbanksans who were ac
quainted with Mrs. De Groff and
her husband, who died a number
of years ago. Edward De Groff
owned a store and was U. S.
Commissioner at Chicagoff at
the time the mine was discover
ed. He got in on the ground
floor and made a fortune.
Whether or not Mrs. De Groff
kept the mine holdings after
her husband’s death is not
known here.—Fairbanks News
Miner.
De Groff was a merchant and
foimer commissioner at Sitka
at which time the Chicagoff
mine was discovered by John
Noel and Ralph Young. They (
took De Groff in by giving him
an undivided one-fourth inter- j
est. !
Mrs. De Groff was the wife of |
a Vanderbilt—a member of the
New York Vanderbilts. He had
had some difference with his re
latives and left the east and was
eventually hired by De Groff as
bookkeeper in the store. After j
his death his widow married Dej
Groff. Two children surviving,
tier were by Vanderbilt. She had
ao children by De Groff.
What the difficulty between
;he Vanderbilts was, was never
nade public. When, in the early
90’s Mrs. Elliot F. Shepard and
’amily visited in Sitka, Vander
jilt did not even meet her tho
