LOCAL NOTES
1927. A happy New Year to all.
May you have many more of them
j and may they be full of joys and
the blessings of life.
The Lutheran Church is plan
ning a program for New Years’
; Eve, the church watch night.
[ ri here will be a song by a quartot,
: solo by Mrs. Martin Enge; piano so
j lo by Mrs. Allen and a talk by Dr.
^ Standard. His topic will be “Is
the Milestone Worth While.”
An invitation is extended to all to
attend the service.
New Year Day Service at 8 in
the evening. Sunday school at
10:30.
] The Native Presbyterian Church
is planning to hold New Years’
Watch services in the Bureau
school building.
The Pioneers’ have offered their
hall to the Bureau of Education
at a reasonable price for school
purposes. The need for such a
building has been mentioned. It
might not be amiss for local organ
isations to back up the Pioneers in
this matter. The only way to get
anything is to make known your
rants right loud and to keep it
| light where it can be seen and
j heatd. What say? Do we want
| to relieve congested school build
; ings or is it just political reaction?
Fete Jorgenson this week receiv
j ed a shipment of electrical baking
! equipment and has commenced in
| stallation of machinery in the new
1 Wheeler building. The plant will
I be modern in every respect and
| Pete should be able to make a
| iaise of the “dough” in his new
| venture.
\ E. G, W. Morris, well Known
I building contractor in this vicinity
| and an old time Alaskan, sailed on
| the Northwestern for “some point
I further south.” Whether it will
| he Seattle, Halifax or Australia did
} n’t make much difference to him.
| Wre expect to see him return to
1 Alaska after he has wearied of the
f white lights and sham conventions
f of the States.
1 Among the southbound passen
1 gers on the Northwestern was Miss
| Ruby Peterson who has been
f teaching the sixth and seventh
; grades in the > local school since!
1 September. She resigned a short i
? I
I time ago in order to accept a posi-1
| tior as Deputy County School Su
I perintendent of Grand Frks, in
1 North Dakota. Miss Peterson’s
l home is in North Dakota, but she
| has become quite attached to Alas
I ka and declares she will return
some day.
A deal was consumated this week
whereby John Mjorud purchased
the home of Hans Wick. The loca
tion of this home is considered one
of the best in the city;
Hans and Mrs.Wick left on the
Northwestern for Seattle. Mrs.
Wick who has been illfor some time
expects to undergo an operation af
ter she is settled in her new home.
Hans plans on returning to Peters
burg in a couple of weeks.
John Mjorud has been appointed
to act as city marshall during the
absence of Hans Wick, regular ap
nointee. t
The Sons of Norway was the
scene of a gala social function Tues
\
day evening, given in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. Hans Wick who left for
the South on the Northwestern,
V. ednesday night. The farewell
party was well attended and every
one enjoyed dancing until a late
hour. •
Miss Frances Miller was taken
ill quite suddenly at her home
last Sunday and was rushed to Ju
neau on the Alameda, Tuesday
n orning. Word was received that
an operation for appendicitis was
necessary. Her sister, Mrs. Fred
Nelson, and her brother, Dick Mil
ler, accompanied her to Juneau.
The Wrangell Hi team used their
subs in the second half and made
the game interesting for the spec
tators.
The newest organization in the
city, the Petersburg Band, is plan
ning a big benefit dance to take
place on New Years’ Eve. The
proceeds will be used to purchase
new instruments for a bigger and
finer band. This organization will
be a great asset to Petersburg and
everyone should do his bit to help
the band along.
T he local Hi team should not be
discouraged over their defeats and
they must take into consideration
that the Wrangell boys began to
try to shoot the basket before they
could lift the ball half way to the
hoop. The difference is that they
had a place where they could spend
horns on end learning the finer
points of tne game at a cost of
lights only. This was made pos
sible by men who were whoel heart
ed supporters of the school and
team.
The Hi School youngsters staged
an impromptu dance in the Pio
neers’ hall for their visitors. An
enjoyable itme was had by all.
The Sons and Daughters of Nor
way held a Christmas social in the
S. of N. Hall Thursday evening.,
Word has been received that
easily in the hospital in Juneua
where she was taken on account
of acute appendicitis. It was not
stated whether or not the opera
tion will be undertaken.
The town lights went glimmer
ing when the transmission line
between town and the plant gave
waj. The high winds of the night
before caused the falling of a limb
on the line so that it could not
hold up more than another day. It
makes us wonder how we ever got
along with the Deisel power plant.
The auxiliary plant is no longer
able to furnish sufficient light for
residences alone without carrying
the street load. During the bas
ketball game teh boys weer hardly
able to see the ball to make good
basketball playing.
Mr. Andreanoff, pioneer of Alas
ka and for many years a resident
o" Petersburg died at one o’clock
this morning in his home of heart
trouble and other complications.
He had been ill for many months,
lingering between life and death
and in constant pain so that his
passing over tfie Last Trail is a re
lief to him.
Dan Alston and Roy Hirsh rer
turned from a trip to Barrier Is
lands, near Point Baker on Prince
of Wales Island, where they were
trapping fox for C. O. Parks whohas
some interest in the Barrier Island
Fox Farms. The boys report a suc
cessful trip and regard the Barriers
as a very promising ranch.
