ANCHORAGE MERCHANT WILL
HAVE STORE AT COLD BAY
I!' -
v P. O. Sundberg, well known busi
. ness man of Anchorage, returned to
the railroad town recently from a
e visit to the Cold Bay district and
f reports much activity there. He
d spent several days on the ground
j, and returned to Anchorage fully in
.. formed regarding conditions at the
. beach town of Kanataa and in the
. oil fields several miles inland. He
was so favorably impressed, that he
has decided to ship a stock of.sup
e plies to the new camp immediately.
e He secured two lot? during his
o visit.
f Conditions at Kanatak and along
f the beach, Mr. Sundberg informed a
y representative of the Anchorage
Times, present the appearance of a
typical stampede camp. Accommoda
tions are poor at the present time
as regards room and board. How
ever. several bunk houses and more
restaurants are being established,
which will meet the emergency.
The question of town lots is pe
culiar. Mr. Sundberg says a num
ber of Anchorageites availed them
selves of “squatters’ rights” and
staked lots. The town of Kanatak
consists of an Indian reservation,
script acreage and open ground.
Jack Finnegan has script 35 acre*
and W. J. Erksine. of Kodiak, also
has script land for townsite pur
e I poses.
i The oil district is about 14 miles
- from Kanatak. The Associated Oil
J Company has a tractor and large
, force of men at work building a
s road from the beach to the drilling
. site and splendid buildings are being
, i erected for the accommodation of
t the men.
i; Lighterage facilities are poor at
;. ■ Kanatak and the weather in bad
f much of the time,
f There were about 100 men in
5 the camp at the time Mr. Sundberg
o -was there, and more were arriving
daily.
