SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
The Pioneers of Seward gave a pic
nic at the park in the railroad city.
Beans, sandwiches, baked halibut, and
coffee were served under the soft
light of numerous Japanese lanterns.
A lodge of Eastern Stars was in
augurated at Seward during the re
cent visit of J. H. Begg, grand master
Mason. Mrs. Lillian Carter was elect
ed worthy matron.
An overturning auto at Seward last
week seriously injured J. A. Ince of
Anchorage and badly scratched up J.
S. Badger. A broken steering rod
caused the accident.
A large crew of men has gone in
to the Kantishna district to work on
roads being constructed in that dis
trict. A stretch of road about eight
miles long will be constructed out of
Roosevelt. It will be used for haul
ing ore.
Trollers at Cape Omanery have been
making good catches the past week
or so. Between 600 and 700 trollers
are at work about the cape, the fish
being large in size. Ten cents is paid
for dressed reds, three cents for
whites and 30 cents for cohoes.
The Gold creek retaining wall at
Juneau recently withstood the tor
rents of rain, and held the waters of
the creek securely in its channel with
out mishap. This is the place which
caused the floods at Juneau a year
or so ago, the waters sweeping around
a curve and cutting badly. A 3.37
inch rain fell.
A moving picture artist recently
shot scenes on the creek at Ketchi
kan, where the distressed damsel was
shot amid the tumbling of tin cans
and the whirling debris adorning the
scenic spot. As is usaul with villains
he was shown in hot pursuit of the
maiden, and was foiled by falling over
an old mattress.
St Ann hospital, maintained at the
town of Douglas for many years by
the Sisters of St. Ann will close its
doors this week and in the future will
handle all cases in the Juneau hos
pital. Besides operating a hospital
the sisters have operated a boarding
and day school for children, which
will also be discontinued. For some
thing over twenty years the hospital
has been a busy one, bringing and
sending souls into and out of the
world with ceaseless regularity. The
lack of business and a falling off of
the camp have caused the institution
to lose money and the furniture and
fiztures are for sale.
