FROM BELLINGHAM
William A. Straub, brother-in-law
of Caroline Hungerford, arrived on
the Admiral Rogers from Belling
ham, Washington, (via Seattle)
last Saturday. Mr. Straub is look
ing over this section of the country
with a view of—perhaps—remain
ing. Even as the country appearu
now, he rather likes it and he will
visit here for some time. Frank
Rosich has been showing him tho
interesting parts of the Narrows an
they may be seen from a small boat
pushed by an outboard motor.
Mrs. Mamie Tveten and daughter^
Ruth and Marguerite left on the
Alameda the other day for Ketchi
kan where they will visit for a
while.
Fred Lewis left on the Charles T.
Saturday noon for Wrangell to fce
at the bedisde of his father. Ha
did not arrive in time to see hi*
father alive.
Louis F. Paul, in charge of the
U. S. Bureau of Education school
at Petersburg, sailed on the Alame
da, Monday fornoon for Wrangell.
He returned on the “Sis” of Wrang
ell Thursday evening.
M. S. Wilson, of the Mutual Paper
Company, made a pleasant call at
THE ALASKAN office Tuesday. He
came in on the Alameda and left on
the Admiral Rogers.
Paul Adams, drowned at the saw
mill bridge early Thursday morn
ing, was buried in the graveyard
across the Narrows Tuesday fore
noon. The body was transported on
the motorboat Eagle.
“Mexican” Joe, who admitted
passing around a little stale beer
to some friends who called on him
last Thursday about midnight, was
arrested early this week and was
sntenced to 1440 hours in the local
bastile. Having the beer in his own
shack was legitimate enough, but
handing it out brought trouble.
Thoralf Hadland, wife aud fam
ily, are visiting in Petersburg with
Mrs. Carl Larson. They came in on
the Admiral Rogers Saturday. There
is a pair of twins in the Hadland
: family that should have “CUTE” for
middle names. Just all right are
those youngsters.
The Alameda, of the Alaska
Steamship Company, steamed to a
landing at the Citizen’s Dock Mon
day forenoon and made room on
board for 22 pasengers out of Pe
tersburg. This gave the steamer a
full up passenger list, something out
of the ordinary on a southbound
trip this time of year She left
shortly before noon, but on account
of wrong tides and snow anchored
down the Narrows Tuesday morn
I
ing.
Jess Ames was an outgoing pass
j enger on the Alameda Seattle bound,
i Mr. Ames is out on business con
i nected with the Hogue and Tveten
| Company’s store and will return so
j soon as the spring requirements of
! the big store are lined up.
Mr. and Mrs. William Tamaree
sailed on the Alameda, Wrangell
; bound, to attend the funeral of a
■ cousin of Mrs. Tamaree’s, who died
jin Wrangell a few days before. As
' the Alameda was tide and snow
bound until Tuesday, they reached
: the Stickeen City too late for the
obsequies.

.. A Communication
PETERSBURG, 1, 14, 1928
rHE ALASKAN:
I read your editorial on the top
ic of Petersburg last week and won
dered if you were wise in pointing
out so boldly the facts therein stat
ed. Of course, it would be foolish
for people to deny the facts there
in stated because these statements
are being made everywhere. I hava
heard them around the docks of Se
attle; on the steamers north and
southbound; I have heard them in
Juneau, in Wrangell and in Ketchi
kan. Even the villages of this di
vision have passed such statements
along.
Regarding the charge of “slack
ers.” I have heard Judge Reed
many times inquire into that sub
ject when he has learned that the
applicant for citizenship comes from
Petersburg. (Ed. note. Which no
doubts accounts for the indifference
of the Court to the applications
made in the past for aClerk ofthe
Court to be at Petersburg; and the
indifference to the needs of the Fed
eral building in the past.)
You may be criticised for printing
the facts because of wounded pride.
Some of the people may try to pun
ish you. But it seems to me the
main question is this—
IS IT TRUE ?
Jack Schoettler of the Marquam
Press fame says that you are like
a bird that befouls its own nest.
Does it change the facts to tell a
dirty story like the one the Mar
quam paper prints this week?
IS IT TRUE?
Now for the editorial written by
the disciple of Tom Marquam, (Or
will Standard Oil Representatives
claim their own vomit?) the fiilthi
est, and foulest bird that ever sat in
the dirty nests of not one “bird” but
in many; a nest that stunk to high
heaven and yet proclaimed as being
“pure as a new born babe” bj
Jack and his “oily friend - s.”
He says “There is no adjective
strong enough to describe those
who, wallowing in the filth of their
own creation, persist in spattering
their putridity upon the efforts of
the loyal men and women who are
striving to the best of their ability*
* * *>>
Who made the dirt? Was it not
those who claimed their exemption
because of their foreign birth? Was
it not the men of money who shut
off the credit of others even when
good security was offered? Was it
not the majority of the present
Council who shut off the power of
the mill at Scow Bay because the
manager refused to kiss Ed Lock
en’s hind foot? Was it those men
who are continually opposing Earl
Ohmer, one of the greatest bene
factors of this town?
Let Tom Marquam’s disciple, the
toe kissing Jack Schoettler, ans
wer.
Petersburg can be a great town,
but the fishermen therein must re
cognize their friends The only pol
icies that will make this a great
town are those that are advocated
by the friends of Dan Sutherland.
Yours faithfully,
A SUBSCRIBER.
Chester Worthington came to the
office Saturday afternoon and we
enjoyed his agreeable conversation
immensely. It perked us up for the
work that was ahead of us.
