. UPPER DISTRICT
STAKED TRAILS
GIVEN PRAISE
Nowhere throughout Alaska are the
winter trails so well staked or shelter
cabins so numerous or well maintain
ed as in. the Second Division, accord
ing to Chris Gudmundsun, representa
tive of the Alaska Siberian Trading
Co., who recently arrived from the
outside after traveling in every divi
sion of the territory in the course of
his fur trading operations.
“Every where one goes in this sec
tion,” he says, “well staked trails are
%found, and the shelter cabins are not
only numerous and well situated but
are maintained in much better manner
than those in the other districts. The
shelter cabins in other sections are
usually found in a decidely filthy
state and frequently in need of re
pairs. Here one always finds things
in the best of shape and with a good
supply of wood on hand ready for the
next fellow who finds occasion to seek
their shelter.
“And as for the trail staking work,”
he continued, “there is no comparison
between this and the other divisions.
About all one sees in the shape of
stakes in the other divisions is a
small pronged willow or branch stick
ing up here and there above the snow.
There is no semblance of trail staking
anywhere in the territory like that
w7e hare here. Practically all of our
main stakes are staked with large
permanent stakes which can almost
"be followed by a blind man and the
temporary stakes with their red flags
are kept up in a manner exceedingly
creditable to Road Commissioner
Barney Gibney and his assistants. A
person can hardly go anywhere here
without having a plainly staked trail
for miles between important points
in the interior and more southerly
sections without seeing a sign of a
clearly defined trail stake.”—Nome
Nugget.
“CHEESE THIEVES CAUGHT
THRU ODOR OF BREATH
PORTOLA, Cal., June 26 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Because their breaths
smelled strongly of cheese, five men
served terms in the county jail at
Elko, Nevada, a town west of here on
the Western Pacific Railroad. A box
car was broken open and a large
cheese stolen. With no other clue
than the belief that a heavy indul
five arrests. The evidence appeared
the town marshal set forth and made
gence in cheese might taint the breath
so conclusive to the magistrate that
all were sentenced to jail.
LATE ALASKA NEWS

by the Sawyer-Reynolds Logging Com

house immediately after breakfast
one day last week and diligent search
ha.s failed to locate him.

swimming contest, log rolling, boat
racing and field events.
The transport South Bend was
scheduled to sail from San Francisco

Maurice Leehey, counsel for the
Territorial Shipping Board, while at
Ketchikan recenty, said that a car
ferry service between Ketchikan and
Prince Rupert, giving the former
place terminal freight rate on the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway, would
be a great thing. With the new ship

The hunting party composed of
Messrs. Chapman, Young, Chase, Ash
ton and Stoesser, which left here last
Saturday, returned early Thursday
morning, having annexed plenty of
experience and mosquito bites, but no
bears. They came very near getting
one on Monday, when they sighted
on the ocean side of the island a very
large brown bear, probably the under
study of Dr. Chase’s. The party sep
arated and surrounded Bruin, getting
within three hundred yards of him,
but a misinterpretation of signals
from the beach gave him opportunity
to escape. A smaller brown bear
was sighted the same day, but it also
got away. The hunters made a com
plete voyage around the island during
this trip. Mr. Stoesser made several
moving pictures.

On Tuesday evening a crowd made
up of Mre Chas. Rosswog, her
daughters, Miss Clara and Genevieve,
her sons John and Karl, Joseph White,
with his daughter Miss Marie and
his son “Chuck,” Miss Madeline
Buchanan, Earl Means, James Clark,
Lee Dickinson and Dick Nord, made a
very pleasant trip to Simpson Bay
in Mr. Dickinson’s gasboat. Finding a
beautiful stretch of beach, they land
ed and made a fire, and soon the

I sent forth an irresistible invitation to
| ’unch.

High tide at the city dock finds a

that are not so small—having great
sport fishing for “Dolly Vardens.”
Baiting with “cranberries” from the
salmon refuse of the cannery, they
have no trouble hooking the pink
freckled beauties, each done up in its
glittering tin-foil wrapper, like a stick

Miss Edna Thawley and Miss Marie
Rosswog write from Seattle that their
recent trip from Cordova was so en
joyable that they didn’t want to get
off the boat. At Ketchikan they saw
Father Shepard and Pat Cannon; in
Seattle they had a pleasant visit with
Mrs. Sam Hedges, wife of the former
agent of the Alaska Steamship Co.
here, and saw John Rawson. Mrs. Mc
Cormac (who is now here). “Curly”
PXiekman. Dewey Metzdorf, Mrs. Beat
tie and Karl Lotsfeldt—all former
Cordovans. The girls have taken
rooms at 907 Summit Avenue, and
are much pleased with Seattle.

Sleepy and sun-burned, but glad to
be back in Cordova, Miss Margaret
Kolbenson, trudged up from the city
dock when the Pioneer got in early
Thursday morning. For the last four
weeks she has been “doing” Katalla
and vicinity as the guest of Miss Myra
Phillips. “Such a wonderful time as
I’ve had!” murmured Miss Kolbenson
just before she dropped off to sleep
in her room in the Lathrop building.
An account of her experiences will
appear in Monday’s Times.

A. J. McConnell took a party of
ladies on a gasboat trip to Humpback
Creek Tuesday evening. Overtaking
Carlton Krueger on the way, Mr. Mc
Connell attempted an exhibition of
speed, whereupon Mr. Kruegar badly
crimped his ambitions by steaming up
and spinning in circles around the
McConnell craft.

What shall we do to entertain our
distinguished guests, Secretary Dan
iels and Admiral Rodman, when they
come to Cordova next month? Now
that the time of their visit has been
set forward two weeks, we must bestir
ourselves to provide suitable enter
tainment- What shall we do? Here
are a few suggestions:
1. Have Walter Stoesser take
moving pictures of Mayor Adams
meeting them down at the dock and
presenting them with an enormous
copper key—-the key to the Copper
Gate of Alaska—the copper that put
the dough in Cordoughva.
2. Special performances at the Em
press theatre—box party, with Louis
Belter, chairman of the committee on
arrangements (of chairs). Don’t for
get to call their attention to the Sid
ney Laurence painting in the foyer,
$18,000 for the organ—Mr. Fairman to
and to tell them that “Cap” paid
play “Hail to the Chief” and the Star
Spangled Banner.”
3. Show them Dr. Chase’s bear
skin.
4. Take them out to see the gla
ciers. No nasty old dead glaciers, but
live ones—the' Miles and Childs mon
sters, which ought to be growling and
gnashing their great white fangs at
each other most viciously by that time
5. Take them on a hike to the
Tripod.
(
6. Stage on First avenue one of
those entertainments for which Cor
dova is becoming famous—an eight
reel all-star dog-fight.
