R. L. Davis came over from Katalla
last night on a launch.
O. J. Berg is returning to his cop
per properties from a business trip
to Boston, having left Seattle on the
steamer Alaska yesterday.
J. P. Halferty, president of the
Pioneer Packing Company, is on his
way to Cordova from the States and
expects to remain here a month or
six weeks.
Sub-Chaser 310 left today for Val
deb, taking over Deputy Marshal eas
ier, who intended going from here to
Bristol bay on the gunboat Vicksburg,
which was ordered to sail direct for
the westward on account of the flu epi
demic raging there.
Joseph Ibach and wife returned last
night from a trip to Middleton island,
where they visited their fox ranches,
which Fred Schiller and wife and
Neil McCrary are looking after. Joe
reports that Fred is growing a beard
which would draw first prize against
Charley Ross’ whiskers in their most
luxuriant growth.
Ed. Olsen, who left Ijere a number
of weeks ago for Cordova, says that
place is a great one for clams, those
delicious animals being the principal
topic of conversation there. There
are several clam canneries located in
the town and naturally the citizens
are interested and talk of the crea
tures.—Douglas News.
The local school board has given the
teachers a substantial raise in salary
and the minimum for the grades is
now $150 per month. The principal’s
salary has been increased to $2400 per
year. But who the teachers are to be
is a mystery which the board is not
willing to solve—at least so far as the
public is concerned.
Horace Leach sent in a pair of
aluminum skates from the states to
the Eagles to try them out on the
hardwood floor in their new hall, with
a view to opening a skating rink here
if they prove satisfactory. Misses Edna
Purvis and Thelma MacConnell gave
an exhibition of fancy skating at the
hall last night and the skates are said
to be all that is claimed for them.
li. F. Medley, a well known attorney
of Cordova, and until recently United
States commissioner at that point, is
in Ketchikan, attending the term of
court and looking after the interests
of several clients from the westward.
He expects to leave for the south on
one of the next boats and will be in
Seattle for a few weeks on a busi
ness trip, after which he will return
to Cordova.—Ketchikan Times.
Governor Riggs, chairman, of the
board of fish commissioners, has
called a meeting of its members at
Juneau on Tuesday next, when plans
will be made to carry out the pro
visions of the fish hatcheries act
passed by the last session of the leg
islature. Those composing the board
are Mayor A. J. Adams, Cordova;
Hugh Dougherty, Seward; Charles D.
Garfield, Juneau; John R. Beegle,
Ketchikan.
OCTOPUS GRABS DIVER
WHO HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Chapters and chapters have been
written on the real imaginary devil
fish or his power in prehistoric and
later times; and have generally been
looked upon as fish stories, but Diver
Hansen who has been working on a
fish trap near Kasaan will believe any
thing about the powerus and size of
an octopus for last week he had an
encounter with a monster. While
working under water he saw the octo
pus coming toward him, fully twenty
feet in length or width, or however
you want to measure the brute. The
diver signaled to be hauled up im
mediately but before he could get
away the octopus succeeded in grab
bing him with one tentacle. The cur
rent kept sweeping the diver under
neath the trap, so that it was more
difficult for him to make a fight
against the devil-fish, but he did finally
squeeze out and get to a point of
safety.
And now that diver is willing to be
lieve anything in the world about an
octopus, its size, or powers, for it
gave him a good squeeze on the arm
that he will remember for a long time.

IDAHO TO ELIMINATE
USELESS DEPARTMENTS
POCATELLO, Idaho, June 6 (by As
sociated Press).—A report from the
office of Governor Davis, just receiv
ed, after a meeting of the new state
cabinet, held on Saturday, shows that
not only have ^useless departments
been eliminated, but co-ordination and
co-operation of other departments is
so pronounced as to effect a very
rhaterial saving for the state in even
the first quarter.
Formerly state departments were
handled by dozens of appointees and
there was much conflict. Everything
is reduced to nine heads, and each
head is responsible to the governor,
and he, necessarily, is held to answer
to the people.
The first report of these executive
institution shows business efficiency
and quite void of partisan suggestion,
and it is generally approved, as the
governor is made the responsible head
for the operation of each and every
division.
A Victory loan flag has been
awarded the Juneau lodge No. 420,
B. P. O. E., in recognition of the per
centage of members who subscribed
to the last loan. The Juneau Elks are
busy trying to find the straightest and
highest flag pole, from which to fly
this emblem from the top of the
school hou^%.
The Standard Snow Motor Company
of Seattle is taking orders for delivery
next fall of its snow motors which are
claimed to have solved the problem
of transportation on the snow. The
machine is an ordinary auto w'hich has
in place of wheels four cylinders
which revolve and give the machine
a speed through the snow as great
as an automobile.
Subscriptions continue to come in
for the Ketchikan park fund. Already
$3,800 has been donated for improv
ing the city park and the committee
within a few days will be around to
visit everyone that can possibly give
for the good cause.

lodge No. 183 will be held this even

to hell With the kaiser
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
“To Hell with the Kaiser,’’ the great
seven-act Screen Classics, Inc.
patriotic production, will open a two
night engagement tonight at the Em
press theatre. “To Hell With the
Kaiser” is the most vital of all the pic
tures dealing with the world war. It
strips bare the vile soul of Wilhelm of
Hohenzollern, and shows the plot by
which he and his “Potsdam gang”
hoped to get possession not only of
Europe, but of America. “To Hell
with the Kaiser” shows the final des
tination of this mad monrach, as well
as relating his cruel deeds on earth.
"To Hell with the Kaiser” has some
of the most unusual features ever seen
in a photodrama. The closing scenes
contain a genuine surprise, combining
beauty and forcefulness, and the
kaiser is shown in those accursed re
gions to which his base record has
destined him.
Scenes among the American sol
diers in the trenches are shown, and
a genuine air-battle of two opposing
aerial fleets is reproduced. The pages
of history are unfolded to show the
deeds of Frederick III. of Prussia, and
the instruction of the present kaiser
in his war policies by Bismarck,—then
the events leading up to the present
sacrificing of the flower of nations. Ro
mance plays its part in this amazing
picture, showing that love and loyalty
will outlive a thousand wars.
