SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
A party of school teachers who re
cently arrived from the Outside are
camped near Carcross, Y. T., for the
summer.
In the school tax notice in the
Wrangell Sentinel it is stated that the
five dollars will be charged only to
all “mail” persons. That is going to
be tough on postal employes.
Several members of the crew of the
Coast Guard steamer Unalga which
was sent to Bristol bay to help fight
the influenza there have contracted
tlie disease.
Inspector Ernest P. Walker of the
^ bureau of fisheries moved his liead
quarters from Wrangell to Juneau on
July 1. The Osprey will also be trans
ferred with the office.
Rev. F. R. Falconer, who for the
past seventeen years has been pastor
of the native church at Klukwan, has
moved his family to Ketchikan, where
he will be stationed in the future.
The coast and geodetic survey has
purchased four new vessels for use in
Pacific coast and Alaskan waters, but
none of them will be available in time
to be used in Alaskan waters this
season.
A. H. Zeigler, a lawyer of Ketch
ikan, formerly of Juneau, has been
retained by the Ketchikan Labor
Union to defend B. R. Sawyer, sec
retary of the Wrangell Labor Union,
now in jail in Juneau charged with
having seditious literature in his pos
session and with being a slacker.
Captain Babbington, of Vancouver,
B. C., was in Wrangel a few days ago
and hired a cook for a crew of men
that lie has at work salvaging the
wreck of the steamer Mariposa, which
was wrecked not far from Wrangell.
The Mariposa had a cargo of 1,200
** tons of high grade copper ore, 8,000
cases of canned salmon, besides other
things.
Clyde Cagle, who at one time re
sided in Douglas but who was raised
in Wrangell, is back in Alaskan
waters as captain of the Olympic
Companys’ tug Hero, which oper
ates from their floating cannery in
Icy Straits. Mr. Cagle went to the
States last year and enlisted in the
merchant marine and received un
limited second mates’ papers for any
ocean.
The Shipping Board objected to
the name of Valdezian for the ship
that the people of Valdez was al
lowed to name as a reward of over
subscription to the Liberty Loan.
The Valdez people allowed the name
to be changed to “Montague.” The
officer in charge of the shipping
office, commented on the new name,
saying that it was peculiar that they
chose a name that in no way com
memorated the town of Valdez.
The body of Corporal Ralph Pulver,
who was cought by a snowslide last
winter while attempting to cross the
glacier at Portage Bay, was found last
week by the boy’s father, who was
accompanied by a detail of two offi
cers and six enlisted men. The body
was in a good state of preservation,
having been covered up until a few
days before it was found by several
tons of ice and snow. The remains
have been sent to the States for
burial.
COAST LEAGUE GAMES
EXCITING TO FINISH
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3 (by Asso
ciated Press).—“A game never is won
until the last inning, especially this
season in the Pacific coast league,”
said a baseball follower here some
time ago. Confirmation of this opinion
seems to have been made at the game
last week when Los Angeles, with a
lead of seven runs in the second in
ning, lost the game eventually to the
Salt Lakers.
One of the features of the present
season has been the number of games
won by teams which started off with a
heavy handicap of runs against it
which appeared hopeless to overcome.

WAR HERO REFUSES
TO GO INTO VAUDEVILLE
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July
2 (by Associated Press).—Private
Jesse Funk of Calhan, Colorado’s
greatest war hero, is not going into
vaudeville. Instead, he intends to
rest awhile on the Funk ranch and
then probably will take a job at the
Denver stock yards, because he is
first of all a cattleman. Funk divulged
this information last w'eek while he
was in Colorado Springs with his
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Mar
tin Funk.
Funk returned from the service last
week. General Pershing has numbered
Funk among the thirty-two greatest
heroes of the war. On his breast Funk
wears the Congressional Medal of
Honor, the French Croix de Guerre
and the Distinguished Service Cros^.
Since his return, the roads to the
Funk ranch have been kept busy with ^
the visits from congratulatory neigh-1
bors who have known Jess since he
first rode a horse.
“What I did any man would do who
had the chance. I was lucky to get
the chance,” he says.
Funk got his decoration for saving
the life of a wounded lieutenant under
fire. The British and Belgian govern
ments also have awarded honors to
him but the medals have not arrived.
“I’ve had a dickens of a time over
these medals,” Funk said when asked
how it felt to be a hero. “It takes a
hero to stand up under this welcome
stuff. I’d rather have those machine
gunners shooting at me than to face
all these welcomes, newspapermen,
photgraphers and so on.”
No one should be without an elec
tric plate, especially the kind with 3
different heats. Northwestern Hard
