COUNCIL CITY WOMAN
LOSES HER LIFE BY
- UPSETTING OF LAMP
Mrs. Bessie Pfaffle, wife of Edward
Pfaffle, leading Council merchant and
business man, died recently at her
^home in Council City, a victim of one
of the most shocking accidents occur
ring in this district in years. The
unfortunate lady met her mortal end
as the result of burns sustained by
the upsetting of an alcohol lamp while
f curling her hair preparatory to at
tending an evening social function at
the home of friends. The accident
occurred on the evening of December
4, almost on the event of the couple’s
first wedding anniversary, their mar
riage having occurred December 16,
1918.
Owing to the long-distance tele
phone lines being out of order, the
first news of the tragedey did not
reach Nome until several days later,
when Ed Pfaffle, husband of the de
ceased, arrived from Council with the
body, accompanied by two native
mushers who assised him in taking
the remains there.
Before a large audience at Anchor
age Colonel Frederick Mears gave an
especially interesting and instructive
description of the great work accom
^ plished by the American engineers in
France during the world war. In ex
plaining the details of railroad con
struction under his supervision, Col.
Mears used a large war map, graph
ically marking the routes of the dif
ferent roads under his direction. 1

Prices above quoted are all for No. 1 best grade furs. Lower grades, in

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
