vices from Governor Strong, inform-j
5ng him that the sum of $6,070 is

E. Burtnan will be a contestant for
the long distance walking race to
Seward. Bur man competed in the!
five, ten, fifteen, fifty and one hun
dred mile races in Nome in 1908-0
with Scotty Allan, Jerry Sullivan,
T’pter Berg and many other long dis
tance runners with reputations.
A recent arrival from Seattle when
asked by a local business man if he
had any idea as to the extent of the
movement of people hern in the
spring, said: “You may form a good
idea of the number of people that are
coming to Anchorage when navigation
opens by figuring the passenger ca
pacity of the steamers that will ar
rive here.”
On January 22, at Mile 84, out from
Seward, the thermometer registered
57 degrees below zero. On the same
day at Glacier creek and Kern ereelt
it registered 28 degrees below, and the
trail is like a boulevard from Seward
to Anchorage.
Among those arriving from Seward
was Dr. Draney. who will open a den
tal parlor here. Dr. Draney has been !
In Seward a short time, with offices,
in the Daggett block.
John Vogel, who was working on:
the steel gang out the line, was
brought to the government hospital i
suffering from an injured foot, it
having been badly crushed by a car
loaded with ties being pushed on It.
The ear was stopped in time to pre
vent it passing over entirely, thus •
saving the foot, and unless complies-'
tions arise he will soon be out and
around again.

“I»a«l" Ingram, who recently left
over the trail for tile interior, gave 1
the Fairbanks Times an interview on
conditions along Ihe coast. Among
other things he said:
"On the other hand, Cordova looked
verj* prosperous. There will he sb:
or seven canneries there this sum
mer. The clams that are all along
the beach from Cordova to Kntalla arc
being canned. On the same boat with
with him a crew of 30 men and a com
Mr. Ingram on his trip up the coast
was H. A. Sprague, who was bringing
piete canning plant. The demand for
claims is usually greater than the
supply, and the canneries at Cordova
will be working to their capacity very
soon.
"The beach at Cordova is a very
favorable place for a cannery, for
he reason that the clams cannot dig
lown very deep in the beach, which
s formed of shell, and'the clams are
herefore easy to dig. This means
hat Cordova will have a steady puy
'oll that will help the town more
han the large copper shipments that
;o through it.”
