Maxine McDonald, the 16 yeaJlold
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam McDon
ald, of Anchorage recently died in the
railway city. She was well known in
both Seward and Valdez, and was a
charming young lady.
A flat car belonging to the Tanana
Valley railway was mysteriously
burned recently. The car was sit on
a siding by the train crew and when
they returned next morning only the
trucks and iron work were found. It
is believed the car got hot over being
forced to spend the night alone in the
wilderness.
The two-master schooner Sea wolt,
which has roamed the Bering sea and
Arctic ocean since 1908, is at the dry
dock of a local builder in Juneau, be
- ing repaired and overhauled for a trip
to Nome, Siberia and finally to Her
schel island. The vessel is 60 feet
long, 14 foot beam and can accommo
date five men.
News of another death in thetLake
Minchumina country is reported, the
person reported missing being Edward
Lahto, a trapper. Lahto went into
the country poorly equipped and has
not been heard of. The natives be
lieve he had died from exposure. He
formerly trapped in the Circle eoun
try.

Dime creek has been a very quiet
camp the past winter according to
arrivals in Nome, but three men re
ported working for wages. Some pros
pecting has been carried on but owing
to steady and extreme cold but little
work was done. A thorough quaran
tine was made against the flu and the
camp remained free from the epi
demic. All the horses used by the
freighters were struck by a malady
resembling the flu.
Inder Singh and Magar Singh, sons
of faraway India, recently arrived in
Ketchikan looking for work. These are
the first Hindus to invade Alaska. Al
though the men are dressed in Euro
pean clothes and lack the huge turban
they are easily distinguished by their
racial characteristics and fine
physiques. They stated that they were
sure Alaska was too cold for them.
I “Too much high mountains and plenty
snow,” they exclaimed.
The first mosquito to make its ap
pearance in Fairbanks was encount
ered on the Cushman bridge last
week. One of the rail birds was at
tacked by the vicious insect and after
a prolonged and sanguinary struggle
the brute was killed. One of the re
markable things about the slain
anopheles culex was that its feet were
enclosed in a fuzzy appearing sub
stance, probably a moccasin, as the
weather was still cold.
Oeorge Rabien, the Nome howling
champ writes from Snoqualmle that
he is working in a logging camp near
there. He sayS the workmen in the
shipyards are just about managing a
standoff between the high cost of liv
ing and the wages they are paid.
Oeorge says that the radical sentiment
among the workmen is astonishing and
he was greatly surprised at the ut
terances of some of the speakers at
meetings he attended in Seattle.
All of Fairbanks was shocked at the
death of Miss Slgrid Richardson, who
passed away at St. Joseph’s hospital
after a short illftess. The cause of
her death was tuberculosis. Until re
cently she had been a teacher in the
Fairbanks public schools, from which
she herself ^was a graduate. She was
considered by the school authorities
to be one of the most effichiiit In- ,
structors of the Instltltion and was
held In high esteem by her fellow
teachers and loved by her pupils.
Captain Hironius Naro, of the
schooner Dora, whoch ran to Ketchi
kan and other ports several years ago,
recently sent to Norway for his af
fianced wife to come to the coast. The
young lady arrived as per schedule,
but the captain had sailed for the
Northern halibut banks and the mar
riage will not be consummated until
his return. The couple were sweet
hearts in Norway years ago, and when
he left for the United States he prom
ised to send for her when he got
enough money to give her a home.
Early this spring he sent for her but
every ship was filled with returning
soldiers and she was delayed. Captain
Naro will return to Seattle in about
six months.
