SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
Joseph Dehn, representative of the
U. S. weather bureau at Tanana,
died suddenly at his home at that
place last month. He was a pioneer
and a well known old-timer. He was
appointed commissioner by Judge
C. E. Bunnell several years ago and
held the office at the time of his
death.
Longshoremen unloading coal off
the steamship Anyox at Ketchikan
went on a strike last week demand
ing $1.25 per hour. Capt. Spoorman
refuserd to pay the price demanded,
holding that $1 per hour was good
money for the labor. The vessel was
later unloaded by her crew and a few
men secured from town.
A. M. Ellis, formerly of Valdez,
and head of the Thunder Creek Min
ing Company with valuable placer
ground in the Cache creek district is
en route to the district to look over
his property. The ground will be
■worked by layman this season. Mr.
Ellis is also interested in large tim
ber holdings in southeastern Alaska.
Canned salmon shipped to the
Philippine islands must be accompa
nied by a certificate of purity from
U. S. authorities, the Philippine com
i mercial agency reports. This action
has been taken on account of recent
salmon shipments being found unfit
for consumption.
Otto Vieweg, of Wrangell, recently
launched a new type of craft for use
on the Stickine river. The boat is
30 feet long and of five tons burden.
It will accomodate 20 persons. The
power is furnished by a 125 horse 4
ccylinder opposed type engine which
will drive an air propeller at a speed
which is expected to give the craft
12 miles an hour. When in motion
the vessel draws but four and a half
inches.
A wagon road will be constructed
over Broad Pass this summer by the
Alaska Engineering commission, and
by the end of September there will
be a regular boulevard from the end
of steel on the southern division to
the end of steel on the northern di
vision. At present there is a distance
between steel of 116 miles. By the
end of September the distance will be
cut to 75 miles.
To enable their reindeer to get the
moss under the several sheets of ice
caused by the spring thaws, natives
of White mountain in the Second di
vision took picks and shovels to their
herding ground and broke through
many acres of good feeding ground
and the deer wasted no time but be
gan eating while the men were still
digging. This saved several hundred
deer from starving.
Raw gold flecking the surface
crystal white quartz was brought to
Juneau last week by two prospectors
who have been working on Chichagoff
island. WTalter Johnson and A. Daves
are the lucky prospectors who made
the find on June 25, while following a
stream up the mountain side. They
found a piece of quartz and upon
- looking it over saw that it was
flecked with free gold. Five differ
ent ledges were found all running into
one large body further on.
While census figures from teachers
in native schools are not available
yet, officials have every reason to be
lieve that there has been a large in
crease in the native population in
spite of the fact that the recent in
fluenza epidemic was responsible for
the death of ever 800 in the second di
vision. There has always been a be
lief that the Eskimo race is rapidly
dying out, but facts and figures show
the belief is unfounded. "That many
cases of tuberculosis exist among the
natives is admitted, but the percent
age with the disease is not nearly so
4
great as has been reported.
The Appelate courte at San Fran
cisco has reversed the case of Eiklund
vs. The Casey-Shattuck company, and
remanded it to the district court of
the first divesion for new trial. The
case grew out of the 1918 flood at
Juneau, when Gold creek went ou of
its banks, causing great property r
damage. Eikland sued the company
alleging that defendants had con
structed a big flume to divert the
waters of the creek and that this
change in the channel was the cause
of the flood. A jury attributed the
flood to “the act of God,” which evi
dently caused the California courts to
disagree with their verdict.
James Hurley, 89 years of age and
blind, recently entered the Home for
Pioneers at Sitka. Hurley has been
a frontiersman nearly all of his life.
In. the * early 70’s he located in
Olympia where there was less than
a dozen white women, and but four
in Seattle. In 1877 he came to Wrang
ell and from there went up the Stik
ine and into the Cassier. During the
80’s he left Cassiar district for
Tombstone, Arizona, and from there
into Old Mexico. In 1896 he returned
to Wrangell, residing there until the
gold rush of 1898, when he stamped
ed to tjie Klondike. Here he lost
his saving amounting to $5,000. After
several years in Dawson he re
turned to the West coast, where he
was employed for six years by the
late Chas. A. Sulzer. For the past
five years he has resided at Craig.
Blindness coming on he was com
pelled to go to the home. While in
Wrangell he was visited by a large
number of his old time friends.
