OLD-TIME VALDEZAN
CROSSES GREAT DIVIDE
VALDEZ—Charles M. Day received
a telegram yesterday from the Pio
neers’ Home at Sitka, stating that
Chris Christensen died at that
institution on the thirteenth. Chris
tensen, who is better known to all
old-timers in this section as “Bald
Headed Chris,” was one of the pio
neers of Valdez, and resided here for
a good many years prior to his leav
ing for Sitka a little over two years
| ago. He had a host of friends here
who will hear with regret of his pass
ing away. His death was not unex
pected, as letters received from Sitka
some time ago reported him to be fail
ing, with little chance of recovery.
BODY OF LODJE
FOUND IN SEWARD
SEWARD, Sept. 21.—The body of
Carl Lodje, a Russian, who was
drowned by falling from the wharf
here last month, was recovered this
morning. Lodge was last seen at the
wharf late on the night of August 12.
The next morning his hat was found
there, and the man was missing, lead
ing to the supposition that he had fal
len from the wharf and been drowned.
All efforts to recover the body by
grappling failed and the attempt was
abandoned. Today the body was found
floating near the beach.
FUR SEAL HERDS ON
PRIBILOFS GROWING
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Growth
in the size of the fur seal herds on the
Pribilof islands is shown by the cen
sus that was taken by Dallas Hanna,
of the Bureau of Fisheries. Mr. Han
na’s inspections on St. Gerog’s island,
of the Pribilof group, revealed 552 ha
rems and 354 idle bulls, almost dou
ble the number last year. On St. Paul
island there are 2,948 harems and 2,
278 bulls, an increase of about 30 per
cent over last year.

BUILDING NEW STEAMER
FOR WESTWARD RUN
The old reliable steamer Dora will
soon be a thing of the past on the
westward run, and her place will be
taken by a brand new steamship which
the Alaska Steamship company has
started to construct. It is likely, how
ever, that the new vessel cannot be
ready this year. The same company
is about to build three new steamers
altogether, two of which will be for
the southeastern run and the third to
take the place of the Dora.
