LOCAL JOTTINGS
ABOUT TOWN
The city administration has a
force of men fixing the crossings on
the streets crossing Fourth avenue.
C. Henning is putting up a build
ing adjoining the Anchorage Shoe
factory to be occupied by himself as
a tailor shop.
Leo Van Dever left for Knik last
night on the launch Swan, after
spending Sunday and Monday in An
chorage.
Work on the new improvements
for the Crescent hotel is progressing
nicely, and Mr. Redwood is planning
to give Anhorage another modern
hotel.
Lovers of feminine baseball have
something to look forward to in the
near future, as arrangements are
being made to get a game with the
Knik ladles team.
The absence of paint on some of
the business houses on Fourth ave
nue is especially noticeable, as it is
hard to explain that the owners are
waiting for the lumber to dry.
Captain Johnson, agent for the
power boat J. and J. left late yester
day afternoon with 19 passengers
for Talkeetna and that she will make
| regular runs to river points during
the summer.
Thos. Allerton, who owns the An
: chorage Shoe factory, has moved his
building from 4th avenue to D
street, just back of the Fairbanks
i Clothing store, where he is open for
business.
W. J. Roberts, who has been buy
ing heavily from the Anchorage
merchants the past week, left on
the Hazel B. No. 2 last evening for
Talkeetna where he will establish a
general store.
Frank Johnson, the Peters creek
saw mill man, is shipping quite a
lot of cottonwood shingles of his own
manufacture to Anchorage. This
shingle is giving good satisfaction,
and being a home industry should
be patronized when practicable.
The dance tonight given under
' the auspices of the Anchorage Band
promises to be the h'ggest affair of
its kind pulled off in Anchorage for
some time. The money derived from
this dance will all be put to a good
use. that the pepole will all enjoy.
Herman Gentsch, manager of the
Reo Auto Service, believes in the
"Safety First” policy, as he Is carry
: ing a Pyrene extinguisher in his car.
This isn’t a bad idea, for he may be
able to save considerable loss of
property by having this extinguisher
always with his auto.
J. J. Miller is down from the Wil
low creek district after provisions
for himself and partner Dave New
man. Mr. Miller says the snow has
melted very fast within the past few
days and that they expect to spend
the summer prospecting and devel
oping their claims on Craigy creek
which are about half a mile above
the proven Gold Bullion mine.
MUNICIPALITY SPRINKLES
AND LAYS 4TH AVE. DUST
The 4th Avenue merchant, and in
cidentally the pedestrian and An
chorage shoppers, are very much in
debted to J. E. Powery, street fore
man under the city administration,
for the happy thought and action of
sprinkling the avenue and thereby
laying the dust that was becoming a
nuisance. While the good work this
morning did not take in the entire
avenue it is the intention of the ad
ministration to play no favorites but
wet down as much of the street as
is possible when conditions permit.
This kind of work by the administra
tion is commendable and the mer
chants, especially, are congratulat
ing themselves that they are under
the regime of such efficiency and
thoughtfulness.
FAMOUS DOG MUSHER
IS PERMANENTLY DISABLED
“Tommy” King, champion dog
musher of Alaska, is out of the game
forever. He will sing out no more
the cry of the trail to tugging,
straining, yelping malamutes. “Tom
my” King recently reached Seattle
from Chicago. Dr. J. B. Murphy,
one of the world’s most eminent
surgeons, told "Tommy” there that
he would be lame for life. Dr.
Murphy told him he should stay in
doors whenever the thermometer
dropped below zero. But the call
of the north has proved too strong,
too irresistible, too luring for “Tom
my.” He is going back to Fairbanks
on the next boat.
Party that cut the tops of green
onions last night at the Tacoma Cafe
garden, 5th and G, please call today
to make arrangement to cultivate
( ground together for next year’s
crop. 6-20-lt FRANK.
The dry season Is always danger
ous for fires and at this time of tht
year when the brush and moss art
dry and inilammuble it is applica
ble to call attention to th.. regula
tions governing fire protection foi
the city. With the high winds thal
occasionally prevail anl the man;
tents and fliaisy structures in tbt
outlying distr.ctc a fire caused by the
disregard oi section 13 of the regu
lations might lie the cause of a se
rious conflagration While it has
ever been the i clicy of tho city ad
ministration to enforce the regula
tions, with the dry season coming on
more attention will be paid to the
rigid enforcement of section 13 and,
if necessary, an example will be
made of further infringement. The
particular section governing the
burning of brush and refuse and
the necessity of obtaining permission
from the townsite manager follows
so there will be no excuse of any
further attention having to be called
to this article and also may be the
means of saving some one from suf
fering from the pehalty attached.
Id- Accumulations of Inflammable
Iiuhbish, Burning Brush, Etc.
Moss and other inflammable rub
bish must be cleared from the
ground before beginning the con
struction of any building or struc
ture. or a sufficient fire guard must
be trenched around the same as will
prevent the spreading of moss fires.
Permission must be obtained from
the townsite manager before burn
ing brush on any lot. street or al
ley. All buildings and parts of
buildings must be kept free from
undue accumulations of inflammable
waste materials.
Wilkes the Furniture Man says
he would gladly join the fire depart
ment but he is about 30 dressers be
hind on his order for that popular
hostelry, the Parsons house, who not
only believe in buying furniture of
quality, but patronize home industry
as well. GET THE HABIT 6-20-11
