Tke Open Forum
Editor The Alasxan
Dear Sir:
Why alL the talk about
dredging the Narrows? Seme
time in the future we will real
ize that locks should have been
built in rather than dredging
the Narrows. What a dream! And
yet, it is bound to be a reality
; some time in the future.
Just picture our City of Pe
itersburg always with high water
I at its door, the finest city looa
jtion in all Alaska. City-owned
j hydro-electric plant that now
'develops 1000 horsepower and
| with nominal expense can be in
j creased to 5,000 horsepower;
j city-owned water works that can
now take care of 10,000 popula
tion and be easily improved to
take care of 25,000.
Such a project (locks in the
Narrows) will take time and
“guts” both of which Petersburg
has lots of as has been shown at
different times in the past.
As time in this case means
money and population to our
city. Just think inside of five
years there won’t be a bug in
our bay to bother the boats as
the fresh water coming in would
take care of that.
Very truly yours,
Bob Ketchison

COURT IS TOLD OF
“WITCHERY”
-X
In the paneled reality cf Su
perior Judge James B. Kinne’s
courtroom, Seattle, a story of
.modern witchery was unfolded
as Domenco and Christina Baria
sued to recover $240 from Pietro
Angelo, Kennydale farmer.
The Barias, 1713 Nineteenth
Avenue South, allege that Ange
lo, with mysterious rites, took
the money and made an amulet
for Mrs. Baria to wear to cure
illness, in August, 1929.
But Angelo said Mrs. Baria got
the “charms” to ward off the
secret power of the evil eye of
-
a “Mr. Jackson,” who had made
ler daughter marry the wrong
man through his witchery, and
then estranged her from her
mother. For a consideration of
2-50, he got “Mr. Jackson” to re
move the menace of his “evil
eye,” Angelo said.
Mrs. Baria declared Angelo
told her it was the evil spirit in
her wedding ring which prevent
ed the “charm” from curing her
illness, and she paid him $10 to
“cleanse” the ring. Some cur
rency she gave him for “operat
ing expenses” was put into a
box containing an imitation
hand, snake and mole skins, she
said.

jiecruits for Great Britian’s army.
The army entered the new year

♦ here are nearly 2,000 soldiers
whose terms were expiring for
whom replacements were not be

“WHAT A YUMP”
-x
A man had planned to catch
an early-morning boat but he
overslept so that he arrived at
the dock just as the boat was
leaving the dock. He jumped
across the three or four feet of
intervening water and got a
board. Then he turned and look
ed back across the 30 or 40 feet
cf intervening water. “Whew,”
he exclaimed, “what a jump ”
