NOME DETENTION HOSPITAL
TAKEN BY SCHOOL BUREAU
The Detention Hospital building
which was constructed by the Gov
ernment at considerable expense and
then never used, has been turned
over to the Bureau of Education.
Work has been begun altering
the interior to meet with the plans
of the Bureau. Steam heat will be
obtained from the Alaska Mines
Heating plant instead of using the
plant in the building.
Partitions will be removed and
the entire building fitted for offices
and residence purposes. Mr. Du
pertius will occupy the downstairs
as the main office and his resid
ence, while the upstairs will be re
served for local Bureau teachers
and those from other districts who
may be intransit.
The Bureau school on Steadman
avenue is now in session with an
enrollment of 95 pupils. Mr. and
Miss Vander Sterre are the two in
structors in charge. Grades from
Primary to Eighth are taught, in
cluding domestic science, art music
and manual training.
Possession of Detention Hospital
was obtained by the Bureau thru a
special act of Congress.
Under date of September 25 Dick
Hussey, well known in Anchorage,
writes to Wm. J. Boudreau and Jer
ry Murphy concerning ais experien
ces. Dick left Anchorage last spring
for Seattle en route to Siberia and
his last letter written from Okhotsk
Siberia. sax's
Okhotsk, Siberia, Sepr. 25, 1922.
Dear Bill and Jerry:
We made our first landing- on Si
berian soil yesterday morning at 6
o’clock at a place called Aian, 250
miles south of Okhotsk, eight days
from Hakodate, Japan. Two days of
that we spent in the midst of a ty
phoon; at least we had twenry-four
hours of the worst and heaviest sea
I ever witnessed before; a 100-mile
rale. Mount McKinley looks small
compared to those riffles. They head
ed the boat into the wind, held her
there for twenty four hours under
full steam, and she rained one mile.
The next twelve hours she made
twenty miles and after that it be
came calmer. We got into it just
after we passed Saghalien island, i
Aian is a very beautiful little
love; about twenty houses, five
white people, fifteen or twenty
white Russians, thirty or forty Ya
cutsh and Tangoos natives, and
250 troops, who live in tents. The
Solsheviks were within thirty miles
>f the place six weeks ago. The
>eople were ready to flee to the
nountains when a gunboat with
100 troops came in and the Bolshies
vent back. The people in that burg
reated us rovaly. The Russian !
soldiers were very sociable. Several
>f them came on board shook hands
md huntea whisky. The Japs did
i big business in some kind of saki
t is worth about 50 cents in Jap
m. They sold it to them at S2.50
l bottle.
Met the governor, a very nice old '
nan. Had a long talk with him
hrough an interpreter. He and sev
■ral others, including three Russians
vho spoke English, wanted us in the
worst way to stop off at Aian and
ro down the bay fifty miles where
hey said there were good prospects.
iVe would have done so. but A1
iVinchel, one of our party left Hak
odate four days ahead of us for
Okhotsk (boat had only room for
:wo passengers! so A1 and a fel
low named Purington went on it.
We could not get our freight on S

so far as getting her hands on th«
money already authorized by Con
gress for the building of a capko!
at Juneau is concerned. The dele
Rate says there is a disposition at
Washington to appropriate a fund
adequate to the purpose desired, but
that it won’t be done this session
neither will the $155,000 already
authorized for the proposed building
be released at the present session
a special act being required to re
lease the amount and the delegate
says there is no chance that the
act will get through this session 01
that it can be obtained under exist
ing circumstances.

According to Juneau peace offic
ers, the I ilipir.os most all of whom
• re ■■ f; there from canning crews
are the worst element for the many
foreigners with whom the guardians
of the peace have to contend. Xot
| only are the Filipinos not in sym
pathy with the law and order, but
; it is asserted that they make the
vilest hootch imaginable. It is also
said that they are a very bad in
fluence among the Indian maidens
who receive their attentions, as is
claimed many of them do. In fact,
it >s claimed that Fillipinos distri
bute more whisky among the squaws
than ail other classes combined.
Mrs. Delate Cook, of Valdez, has
sold another movie scenario for a
substantial sum. this making the
fourth or fifth scenario disposed of
by Mrs. Cook. It is understood that
she received $200 for her last effort
and equally large sums for her pre
vious ones.
Mrs. Cook is an oldtime Alaska! .
and was at one time at Dawson. F<>
the past decade she has been livir.
at Valdez, where Mr. Cook is inter
ested in numerous mining projects.
Reports of a fist fight on Will
oughby Avenue in Juneau recently
led to the discovery of a still, ma-h
, and a quantity of home-brew beer
and the arrest of George Haile, a
Hawaiian, according to the Juneau
Empire. Haile was hauled before
the U. S. Commissioner where he
; was sentenced.
