ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
Juneau is in for a peck of trouble.
A baby show is to be held there un
der the auspices of the "Women of
the parish,” and the fattest baby in
Juneau or vicinity under 18 months
old will receive a prize.
In a recent issue of the Seattle
Times appeared the picture of Ira
Robinson, who is a comedian at the
Oak theater in that city. At one time
^ie lived in Douglas, and traveled all
*■ over Alaska with different theatrical
troupes.
Margaret Brown was married, to
Harry Brown at Cordova in 1908, and
is suing for divorce on the grounds
of desertion. Mrs. Brown also wishes
to resume her maiden name of Mar
garet Sullivan. H. B. LePevre rep
resents the plaintiff.
It looks as though it might be a
rather quiet season at Whitehorse
this winter. Among the business
houses that have closed there since
the close of navigation are the Regina
hotel, White Pass hotel, City cafe and
the White Pass restaurant.
The arrival of several carloads of
* wood on the White Pass & Yukon
route removed the danger of a fuel
famine that was staring Skagway in
the face. The situation is much re
lieved, and it would appear that there
will be plenty of wood for those who
use wood in their heating stoves.
Mrs. Lottie C. Thornton, the pioneer
merchant of Iditarod, left recently for
** the Outside to spend the winter. Dur
ing her absence she will visit three
sons, all of whom were recently
mustered out of the military service,
and will then go to Los Angeles and
enter the Otis Memorial School.
Charles B. Kinkaid of Juneau was
taken into custody recently on a war
rant sworn to by Frank A. Aldrich,
who alleges that Kinkaid took amal
gam out of his cabin which repre
sented the clean-up of the Silver Bow
mine. The value of the metal taken
is alleged to be $150. Kinkaid was
released on bonds of $2,500. He was
an employe of Aldrich.
Douglas papers boast that the city
possesses the only level place on the
Gastineau channel suitable for land
ing airplanes. Local men have vol
unteered to clear the ground of stumps
and will make a landing place for
machines visiting the locality. The
matter is being given serious consid
eration by the people of the town who
are going after the business.
