BRIEFLY TOLD
Robert Nakki, arrested a few days
days ago in Anchorage for imbibing
freely of the cup that inebriates, was
recently sentenced to a thirty-day
sentence in the local federal jail.
The engagement of Miss Laura El
wood and Rev. Edwin Hughes, both of
Anchorage, has been announced. Miss
Elwood is a teacher at Anchorage
and Rev. Hughes rector of the Epis
copal church.
The Canadian Klondike Company’s
dredge No. 4 is working full blast be
tween Bear Creek and Dawson. It
has been digging steadily since sum
mer and is turning over a heavy yard
age of gravel daily, the power is sup
plied from a hydro electric plant.
It took eighteen days for Charles
Sinclair, Jack Tittlewell and Charles
Cadwalder to make it from Flat in
the Iditarod district to Anchorage.
The trail was heavy for almost the
entire distance and some 60 degree
weather was experienced.
C. E. Howard, manager of the Sted
man Hotel, Ketchikan, is much con
cerned over the disappearance of one
of his guests, Charles Ulfares. Ul
fares arrived at the hotel on Novem
ber 8 and was in and about the hotel
for a week. He disappeared about
the 20th, leaving his suitcase with a
number of well kept garments, a good
overcoat and several other articles.
The Anchorage Times states that
during the recent spell of cold weather
in the interior a man attempted to
expectorate and knocked out his front
teeth, the spittle freezing before it
could leave his mouth. That was
pretty cold weather but over at Don
„ nelly this winter the warm spell fol
lowing a temperature of 78 below set
one of the roadhouses afire. A match
which had been lighted and cast aside
by the roadhouse keeper thawed out
and caused the conflagration. And at
Gibbon last winter at 86 below the
soldiers sawed chunks oft the flames
from the cookstoves and used them
por pocketwarmers. "

ADVISE USE OF FUNDS
TO SAFEGUARD TOWN
A suggestion that half the remain
ing lot assessments in Nenana be
turned over to the Alaskan engineer
ing commission, to be used by it in
dyking around the town, for protec
tion against floods, has been made
by the secretary of the townsite ad
visory board to Secretary Lane of the
Interior department. Such protection,
it is believed, would save Nenana from
damage by the usual spring floods.

• SALMON ATTRACTED
TO' NEW WATERWAY
EUREKA, Cal., Feb. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—An unexpected run of
salmon and steelhead followed the
op^nin gof a channel from Big Lagoon
to the sea here during a recent storm.
Big Lagoon is a large fresh-water lake
cut off from the sea by a narrow bar
rier of sand. During a recent freshet
the rivers raised the level of the la
goon to such an extent that farms
were threatened with inundation. To
prevent this a channel was cut across
the sandy barrier.
The first trickle of fresh water had 1
barely touched the surf when the lit
tle stream, growing every moment by
erosion, was whipped into foam by
thousands of steelhead and salmon,
fighting to reach the fresh water of
the lake,
It is believed that the seepage of
fresh water through the sand had
drawn thousands of fish to the vicin
ity of the lake, there to await an
overflow which would carry them over
the barrier.

THE RHINE PATROL. •
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF J
OCCUPATION, Jan. 1 (by mail).—
The Rhine fleet of American patrol
boats has donned the color of battle
grey. The first of the fleet to appear
on the river in its new color was the
flagship, the Prussian, known as “The
General’s Ship” and used by General
Dickman, commanding the Third
army, when he wished to cruise up or
down the Rhine.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
TO AID PROSPECTORS
The appropriation of $100,000 for
each of the four judicial divisions of
Alaska, for the aid of gold prospec
tors, the fund to be spent under the
direction of the secretary of the in
terior, will be recommended to the
American Mining Congress by the
Fairbanks chapter.
Under the terms of the measure pro
posed for congressional enactment,
prospectors would have to sign an
agreement promising to pay to the
government a small percentage of
their gross production until the gov
ernment was reimbursed, and also a
small tax annually to create a fund
to promote prospecting. The bureau
of mines would maintain in residence
technical men to assist the prospector
in his choice of locations, to deter
mine the amount and kind of aid,
and generally to supervise the pro
visions of the measure.
