SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
The Hub restaurant at Ketchikan
has been reopened.
Claud Aikens of Ketchikan is in
the hospital suffering from a severe
case of quinsy.
Members of Ketchikan Post of the
American Legion held a get-to-gether
smoker last week.
The Republican club of Sitka has
endorsed Senator J. R. Heckman for
Republican National Committeeman.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Anders of
Hot Springs recently left Nenana
for the Springs with Sam Cote, who
is wanted for an alleged violation of
the Alaska dry law.
V. A. Peterson, Ketchikan agent
for the Admiral line, now has his of
fice at the new Heckman dock. The
company formerly had temporary
offices in the Stedman hotel.
van -oranaenourg ana ..fcJrnesa
Walker were bound over by the U.
S. Commissioner at Ketchikan on a
charge of obtaining money, under
false pretenses and other charges.
Bail was fixed at $500.
All Ketchikan boys who served in
the army or navy during the late war
are to be presented with engrossed
certificates by the council. The cer
tificates were purchased some time
ago. They will be presented to the
ex-service men by the American Le
gion. .
Prospectors are now looking to
ward the Betties river district where
the big find w-as reported last year.
Prospectors returning from this re
gion report that it will take a lot of
prospecting to make a certain camp
there. Jack Rooney found pay on
Betties Lake and sluiced up $3100 in
coarse gold last year.
A package of flowers from Norway
was sent to Dr. R. C. Jenkins of
Ketchikan to be placed on the grave
of the late Charles Arne Olson. The
package was sent by his mother,
Mrs. Laura Olson, of Christiana, Nor
way, who stated that she had been
trying to send them for three years,
but was prevented on account of the
war.
The reported strike in the Koyukuk
last summer stampede some people
who expected easy pickings there
this winter, but according to Bert
Sharrard, who returned to Fairbanks
from the camp there is nothing easy
in sight. No money and no prospects
of any sort at present. Potatoes
are 25 cents a pound, eggs $32.50 a
'case, butter $1.25 a pound, and flour
$23.50 a hundred.
The tug boat Coutli arrived in
Ketchikan last week after a stormy
and perilous trip from Craig to Prince
Ruperts She had a large scow of air
plane spruce and while bucking the
heavy seas off Kendrick bay broke
her hawser and became separated
from her tow. The heavy seas made
it impossible to recover the scow
which piled up on a rock, causing a
loss of about $25,000.

The permanent organization of
Federal Employes Union No. 145 was
completed at Ketchikan last week
The new union which starts off with
a membership of 26, is a branch of
the National Federation of Federal
Employes, Avhich has 153 locals in 43
states and a total membership of
75,000. Lighthouse men, forest ser
vice men, immigration officers and
other federal employes are among
the members.
Many American halibut boats are
reported to be going direct from the
deep sea fisheries for Prince Rupert,
instead of coming to Ketchikan for
supplies before proceeding to the fish
ing banks. The high rate of exchange
against Canada is the cause. Cana
ian money is now discounted about
11 per cent in Ketchikan, which gives
the fishermen only 89 cents worth of
goods for every dollar in Canadian
money spent there.
The Alaska Union Fisheries have
purchased the large barge Vashon II
at Ketchikan, frorii the Alaska Wash
ington Fisheries at a price said to be
$3000. The Vashon II is now of Pet
ersburg register but will be changed
to the Ketchikan custom house. The
Alaska Union Fisheries intend to use
the barge at Port Alexander next sea
son in the mild curing of salmon. The
company is a co-operative one, organ
ized by the union fishermen to
handle their own catch.
Radio connections between Daw
son and the far Arctic posts of Her
schel island, Rampart House and Ft.
McPherson is being urged by resi
dents of Dawson and the Yukon De
velopment League. Only one wire
has served the Yukon district for
years, stretching directly south into
the wilderness to the Canadian Pa
cific railroad at Ashcroft, 1500 miles
distant. Such a system of communi
cation would be a god-send to the far
off posts in the Arctic wastes.
mayor neiiy was waited on my a
committee of Ketchikan unionists
who asked him to raise the ban on
the sale of the Seattle Union Record.
The committee also asked that he al
low two other seditious organs to be
sold -in the city but he refused. The
mayor said so long as the Record did
not publish matter of a disloyal na
ture' he would not stop its sale, but if
it did the gag would be applied. May
or Petty offered to buy all copies
of the Forge and Federationist the
unions had on hand in order to de
stroy them.
Phil Donahue was taken to the Ar
thur Yates memorial hospital at
Ketchikan with his feet badly frozen.
Donahue has been prospecting and
hunting at. Helm bay for several
weeks. He had his camp in one of
the old mine buildings. He went to
his cabin and built a fire in the stove
and placing his feet in the oven went
to sleep. After a time he was awmk
ened by sharp pains in his feet. He
found they had been badly frosted
without, his knowing it, and the appli
cation of heat had started internal
complications. He was forced to re
main at Helm Bay for three days be
fore he could get a boat.
By April 1920, the output of the
mill at the Kasaan Gold Mining prop
erty at the old Duncan gold mine will
have an output of 60 tons a day. A
new company was organized at Ketch
ikan last year by a group of Minne
apolis capitalists for the purpose of
taking over the property and devel
oping it. Sidney Drake, the well
known Valdez operator, tjow of Min
neapolis, is president of the new com
pany, which has ample capital to
develop the same. A test run of 250
tons of ore from the three hundred
foot level will be put through the
| mill for the purpose of estimating the
| costs and determining the proper
1 treatment. It is stated that it costs
but two dollars per ton to pu"t. the run
through the mill. It s estimated wrhen
the proposed improvements are per
fected that milling will not cost over
fifty cents a ton.
