FILMED FOR
NEW DOCK AT
FIDALGO
The Inunch Waif arrived In Cor
dova from Katalla Sunday morning,
to take a pile driver from here to
Fidalgo Bay for the Alaska Mines
Corporation. Puring his recent visit
here Manager E. P. Reiter arranged
Corser for the
The company is building a wharf
and ore bunkers at Fidalgo, which
will permit of large steamers landing
at any time and discharging or taking
on cargo. The approach to the dock
will he three hundred and seventy-six
feet long with a T one hundred by
forty feet.
Native hemlock piles are being
used in the construction of the wharf
and the management has under con
sideration the concreting of the
piles, which would make them inde
structible from insects. A new scheme
patented by a Juneau man has been
devised whereby piling can be en
cased in concrete at a cost consider
ably less than the expense of re
newing the piles, and the system will
be investigated by Mr. Reiter on his
next trip to the States.
The construction work on the
wharf is under the charge of Lars
Holland, who made a reputation for
himself as a road and bridge builder
while with the Alaska Road Com
mission.

WILL FREIGHT TO
The Valde* business men arestak
Ing a trail from Portage Bay to An
chorage for the purpose of frelghlng
supplies to the latter place this
winter.
It Is believed that a heavy passen
ger travel between Anchorage and
the outside will also begin snortly.
Opinion Is divided as to the route
which will prove most popular for the
winter travel. Many of the oldtimera
believe that Portage Bay will be the
logical route, as It will affect a sav
ing of more than fifty miles of diffi
cult travel as compared with the
Seward route.
The pass over the divide from
Tumagain Arm to Portage Canal Is
only eight hundred feet above sea
level at the highest point, while the
Seward divide Is said to be more than
2,200 feet high and wind-swept. Thege
are road houses at both ends of the
Portage Passage route, which would
accommodate the travelers. The
road house at the head of Portage
Bay Is kept by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Gris
set, of Cordova.

KATALLA, Dec. 13. — When the
steamship Admiral Farragut, on her
last trip to Seattle, passed Katalla on
account of the bad weather, there was
some anxiety over the return of
Judge Robert D. Gray, whose pres
ence here was required to perform
the marriage ceremony for Miss Lilly
Erussard and Oscar D. Knuteson.
Preparations had been made for the
wedding to take place December 1,
but the non-arrival of the Judge made
postponement necessary. However,
the judge was transferred to the
steamship Evans, on which he made
the return trip, arriving in Katalla
Friday morning. The happy couple
were made one at 4 o’clock Friday
afternoon in Peterson’s Hall, which
was prettily decorated in honor of the
event. Supper was served and danc
ing enjoyed by those present.
