The Eastern Star had an interesting
Meeting in the Masonic hall Monday
evening,, to initiate into the order
Mrs. Harry Kerr, of Old Town, and
Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Hicks, of the radio
station at Mile 7. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks
are going south on the Alameda to
Catalina island, California, where Mr.
Hicks has been transferred for duty.
About thirty members were present at
the initiation. After the ceremony
light refreshments were served. The
committee in charge consisted of Mrs.
Bartley Howard, Mrs. Thos. Hubbert
and Ivan Suphellin.

E. H. Graham, of the Hayes-Graham
floating cannery at Pete Dahl slough,
brought in a boat load of canned sal
mon Friday, and will bring in another
today, to be shipped south on the Ala
meda.

Major W. K. Jameson was on our
streets while the Alameda was in port
Monday night. He is inspector-gen
eral of Alaskan military posts, and
was en route to Anchorage. Upon his
return he will stop over here for a
trip up the Copper river. While here
he visited the railroad shops and the
new road being made around the lake,
and expressed himself as much im
pressed with the commercial possibil
ities of our city.

A. J. McConnell’s young daughter,
Miss Thelma, who has been attending
the Clermont high school for girls at
Oakland, Cal., will leave for Cordova
on an early boat to spend the rest of
the summer here with her father. Miss
Thelma has been prominent in ath
letics at her school, and will probably
enter some of the Fourth of July
events here.

Will Clayson has received word that
his sister, Dr. Esther Lovejoy, of Port
land, Ore., has an excellent chance of
following the trail blazed by the Hon.
Jeanette Rankin, of Montana, to a
seat in the house of representatives
at Washington. D. C. Dr. Lovejoy
won out in last month’s primary by a
large majority. She was in Skagway
at the time of the meningitis epidemic
in 1898, and four years ago returned
to Alaska, going in to Fairbanks to
bring out the body of her husband, Dr.
Pohl. If she is elected, Alaska may
claim an interest in her honors, aside
from the fact that she is the sister
in-law of our prominent fellow-towns
man.

WTork is rapidly being pushed on the
unfinished corner of the ground floor
of the Lathrop building, which is to

talcum, or something of the sort was

for a spell!
* ¥ *
Miss Evelyn Johntitone, who arrived
here on the Evans last week and left
T.t '‘-’a

taught school until last Christmas, is

Cordova’s North Pole, “The Tripod,”
was reached by a party last Monday
evening, after several unsuccessful at
tempts by others earlier in the season.
Mr. and Mrs. F. Thompson, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Nelson, Mrs. S. N.
Laurie, the Misses Olive Audette,
Marian Daggett, Dorothy Dooley and
Margaret Foster, chaperoned by H. E.
Nye, Harry Atchison and C. J. Fisk,
started about 8 o’clock, and by half
after nine several dots moving about
on the bald rock knoll proclaimed
their arrival. There they built a fire
to dry themselves out as much as pos
sible—for the climb was an extremely
r ‘
slushy, squashy undertaking—and en
joyed the wonderful view the point af
fords, which on this occasion included
the sailing of the Alameda into the
bay.

Ed Richmond, A. J. McConnell,
Leslie Counts, Mrrs. Richmond, her
sister. Miss Grace Cawker, and Miss

fish; Mr. McConnell, two snags; Mr.
Counts, one extra large jelly-fish; Mr.
Rishmond, a fine string of black bass.

Will Clayson is making arrange
ments with an large Eastern music
house for the publication of his three
step, which, when tried out at a recent
dance, made a very decided hit. Mr.
Clayson intends to give his composi
tion a name suggestive of Alaska,
which would be a novelty. All sec
tions of the States, not to mention
Hawaii, have been celebrated in mu
sical compositions, and it’s high time
our great territory had its turn.
* * *
H. H. Lines, of the cable office, went
over to Valdez on the Alameda to re
enlist in the service for the next three
years. He will return today. Mrs.
Lines accompanied him.

port of his having left for Seward is,

aggerated.”
* * *

mer with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G.
K. Betts.
# # *
Word was received by the last boat
that Rev. A. G. Shriver and family are
much pleased with their new home at
Cle Elum, Wash., which is almost
ready for occupancy. The church, the
building of which Mr. Shriver is sup
ervising, will be located almost in the

his tonsils removed in Seattle.
