It Can’t Leak, ^
Because It's Made
in One Piece
A KANTLEEK is built like a
bottle—all in one piece.
Most hot-water bottles are
made in sections, then cemented
together. When cement dries
and cracks, the bottle leaks.
Every Kantleek Hot-Water
Bag is moulded of pure soft
rubber—one continuous piece.
No parts, patches, cement. Even
stopper socket is moulded in.
And guaranteed for a full two
years’ service—or a new Kant
leek free.
Don’t wait until your old bag
leaks. Get a Kantleek. Your old
one may break open tonight.

SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
i
Up to the present time the run of
salmon in the First district has been
practically a failure and fishermen
are getting badly worried over the
shortage. It is believed that a big run
may start later in the season, when
the silvers come north.
——
When the mercury in the bulb at
the Juneau weather bureau station
crawled past the 89 degree mark last
week it smashed all previous hot
weather records, and covered the
record of 40 years ago. The high
temperature occurred at 6 p. m.
Every available can will be filled in
the Cook inlet canneries, the great
run of fish having swamped" the can
neries. It is estimated that the fish
ermen will clear $1500 for the season
instead of $880 last year. The quality
of the fish is said to be exceptionally
good.
A. A. McMillan, of Dominion creek,
near Dawson, met with a serious acci
dent recently. While coming down
Calder he met two bears, his horse
taking fright and throwing him out
of his rig. He was badly cut and
was covered with bruises about the
head and face.

Frank H. Kopp, who recently ar
rived to take a position with the road
commission has been assigned to duty
as assistant superintendent 'in the
Valdez district. His work will conist
of new location work in Keystone
canyon and repair work to Willow
creek on the road.
George E. Chamberlain, jr., has re
signed from his affiliation with the
hospital department of the Alaskan
engineering commission and left for
the states to continue his course in
medicine at one of the large univer
sities. He is a son of United States
Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon.
Miss McKenzie, a former member
of the nursing staff of the gover
ment hospital, and Jack Inthout, a
member of the Tolovana wireless
station, were married recently. He
arrived recently from the states to
reopen the station, but has had ser
vice in the Marshall and other Alas
kan stations.
Olaf Walsted, member of a fishing
crew on the gas boat J. P. Todd II,
in command of Capt. Adam Wilson,
jumped overboard near Ketchikan on
July 26 and was drowned. There was
a light wind and but little sea run
ning at the time, and the boat was
run alongside the man and he was
caught by his clothing by several
members of the crew. Walsted strug
gled away from them three times,
and finally sank. No reason is known
| for the suicide.

Through her attorney John H.
Cobh, Marie Mejiaa, one of the prin
cipals in the recent shooting scrape
at Juneau, and later arrested as a dis
orderly character, ha3 filed suit
against Chief of Police Keegan for a
consipracy to commit the alleged
crime of blackmail by compelling her
to leave the city where she is in the
resturant business there. The chief
states that he will do his full duty
and that all undesirables must go.
Alf Witberg and John Larsen were
arrested at Juneau last week charg
ed with fish piracy. Warrants were is
sued at the request of the Deep Sea
Salmon company, which alleges that
the two men took 1700 salmon from
a trap at Point Augusta, June 26. On
June 2S it is alleged they robbed a
trap at Whitestone harbor, taking
1200 fish. The third charge states
that they took 2700 salmon from the
Point Dundas trap on June 30. On
July 2 the men assisted 1200 salmon
out of a trap on Icy straits, and on
July 5 took 1000 salmon from White
stone harbor traps. This is the first
arrest made out of 30 robberies re
ported to the governor’s office.
The first lift on the wreck of the
Princess Sophia will be made within
the next ten days, according to an
noucement by the Deep Sea Salvage
Co., which is working at the scene
of the wreck on Vanderbilt reef in
Llynn canal. Two divers are at work
attaching cables to the wreck. Four
tugs are assisting in the work and it
is expected that little trouble will be
experienced in bringing the ship from
her resting place. Many bodies are
supposed to be in the wreck yet, but
about half of those lost have been re
covered.
According to a report made by W.
T. Bower, chief agent of the bureau
of fisheries for Ala.ska, the canneries
in the Aleutian island district, are
overloaded with red fish, several
plants being compelled to close down
in the middle of the run on account
of the shortage of tin. The bureau
of fisheries which has charge of the
Pribylofs, will kill about 25,000 fur
seal this year, a thousand more than
last. A census recently completed of
the seal herd shows six hundred thou
sand, an increase of ten per cent
over last year. The government has
a by-products plant on the island to
take care of the carcasses, many of
which are fed to the fox herds owned
by the government.
GERMAN EMIGRANTS
ENTERING RUSSIA
BERLIN, Aug. 25.—The first contin
gent of German emigrant workmen
has sailed from Stettin to Reval en
route for the Koloma industrial cen
ter, 75 miles from Moscow. Most of
the men are metal workers and build
ing trade operatives. During the next
few weeks, according to the Tageblatt,
several more batches of 1,000 workers
each will follow.
The German government, after pro
tracted negotiations, is now issuing
emigration permits on a large scale.
The Tageblatt also says that a trade
union commission will shortly pro
ceed to Russia in order to satisfy it
self that the men are suitably em
ployed and housed.
A new fifty ton stamp mill is being
installed on the Mabel property on
Willow creek, and a force of hard
rock miners are opening up and rais
ing on the old stope. Development
this season has been highly satisfac
tory according to Mr. Anderson who
contemplates other extensive devel
opment on the Web Foot and other
groups which he controls. Mr. Ander
son, similar to - others vitally inter
ested in the Willow creek district
speaks in the highest terms of the
substantial road work being done this
summer by the Alaska road commis
sion, under the direct supervision of
Anton Eide and Oscar Treyck.
