OCCURRENCES
James Wickersham in the last
contest stated that the natives of
Alaska were "not Indians but meek,
gentle, inoffensive Russians.” While
in Ketchikan a week or so ago he pre
pared a list of the Indians who voted
in the First division and will charge
they voted illegally. The difference
between a native in the First division
and a native in the Third division de
pends upon who they voted for.
Mrs. Walter Buchanan has passed
away in the hospital at Camp Dodge,
Iowa, after a lingering illness from
consumption. She leaves a husband a
husband and small child. Mrs. Buch
anan was formerly Miss Mary Miller,
a popuar member of the younger set,
who left Valdez about a year ago with
her husband, who was a member of
the Fourteenth infantry.

If the weather promises clear, a
number of old time Juneau prospec
tors are planning to spend the sum
mer in the hills. Among these will be
Jake Meyers.
The Alaska Gastineau is steadily
forging ahead with increased produc
tion month by month. Although the
canneries bid against the company for
labor in the Juneau market during the
present month there appears every
prospect of being able to maintain a
full crew at both mine and mills. The
Gastineau Company offers steady em
ployment with good accommodations
which is an attraction for men.
John H. Dunn, employed in the
property office of the stores depart
ment of the Alaskan Engineering Com

was principal of schools in Penn
sylvania.

J. T. Brereton, aged 74 and Waltei
Quinn, aged 54, are the only persont
from Valdez at present inmates of the
Pioneer’s Home at Sitka. By a curiout
coincidence both were born in Eng
land, Brereton has been in Alaska foi
20 years and Quinn 29.
The first white man known to have
visited that portion of Canada now
called Yukon territory was Robert
Campbell, an employe of the Hudsoi

DREAMER OF DREAMS
ROUTED FROM LATIN
QUARTER IN PARIS
PARIS, April 18 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—The famous
Latin Quarter of Paris, home, of the
denizens of the world of art, is for
the time being, at least, a thing of the
past, killed unwittingly by an invasion
of American officers stationed in the
capital. So many of the soldier boys
have taken up their abode in this
section so that they might get a sight
of “real ' life" that the long-time
habitues have been forced to with
draw because of lack of room and
high prices. The spirit of Bohemia,
frightened by the influx from over
seas, has spread its wings and drifted
away to a more tranquil spot.
It is not dislike of the Yankees that
has forced the long-haired artist to
fold up his easel and steal sadly
away to find himself a new home.
Far from that. But even a long-haired
artist who, theoretically, can live in
a hole in the wall, must have at least
some room to turn about in, and more
over his pocketbook is not so long
■ as that of his friends from across the
■ ocean. So the Latin Quarter is Am
1 ericanized, and apparently will re
main so until Uncle Sam calls his
boys home again, when probably the
■ dreamer of dreams will find his way
back to his old haunts.
