★★★★★★★★★★★★★
UNALASKA, Jan. 25—Unalaska
has been somewhat quiet for the past
two months so far as mail is concerned
owing to the accident which happened
to the “Starr. But we are not doing
any kicking because we people out
here know what a ship has to contend
with while making monthly trips to
the Aleutian Islands in the winter.
The weather has been unusually se
vere in the Pacific since November,
large eight and ten thousand ton ves
sels have had to put in to Unalaska
for more fuel' after battling the seas
and winds for over two weeks from
Seattle to this port. Then one can
imagine what the Starr has to con
tend with on her monthly trips to Un
alaska and return, along a coast that
is abundant in rocks, island and un
charted reefs, and so very few lights
this side of Kodiak. So let us all
get in and help Capt. Johansen in
every way we can to have more lights
placed along the coast from Kodiak
here.
On December 3, a 10000 ton ship in
command of Capt. Johansen, on her
way to Vancouver, in ballast, from
Japan, after battling the elements for
a long time, had to put in here and
take on three hundred tons of coal in
order lo reach her destination.
December 16 the Bencluch, Captain
Steuth, from Portland to Shanghai,
loaded with over 8000 tons of grain,
called here. Owing to the heavy seas
encountered she had to take on 300
tons of coal.
The Kurdistan, Capt. Williams, on
his way to Shanghai with grain from
the Rose City, called in port for 300
tons of coal.
The Atna, Captain Nelsen, from the
British Columbia capital, loaded with
over three million feet of lumber, on
her way to Yokahama, called in here
on the 29th of December. Owing to
the heavy winds and sea her cargo had
shifted and she was getting short of
coal. The Atna took on three hun
dred tons of coal and after straighten
■ng out her cargo, went on her way
rejoicing. It was pretty fortunate
for those ships that they could get
coal at Unalaska, otherwise they
would very likely be drifing around in
I the Pacific at the present time.
The Dicto, Capt. Marcussen, bound
from Osaka to Portland, in ballast,
called in port on Jan. 20 and took on
extra fuel oil.
The Alaska Commercial Company,
which has considerable commercial in
terests at Dutch Harbor ,will add one
hundred feet to the length of their
wharf there, and widen it to accommo
date at least three ships at the same
time, as soon as weather will permit
operations to start.
Several desirable citDens have beer
added to the population of Unalaska.
Miss Annie Holverson, daughter of
Sign’d and Mary Holverson, arrived
December 29; Miss Chieuita Carol
Willii Dec. 25, and Miss Julia Bour
don on Jan. 29. All are very wel
come although without exception they
came without bag or baggage
Mrs. Flora Willis, Principal of the
Unalaska Public schools, has in train
ing a vested choir of 12 voices which
will render the sacred musical ser
vices to be made a part of the regular
religious exercises at the Jesse Lee
Home.
W. F. Beyers has installed a gas en
gine and dynamo and is giving moving
picture show's twice a week. The pic
tures are not altogether up to date,
but they are thoroughly enjoyed here.
Captain Beck of the Fisheries boat
“Ider” has received orders to proceed
to Atka and Attu and deliver Sup
plies there for the “round-the-world”
fliers. The supplies consist of gaso
line and proivsions. He will start af
ter the March trip of the Starr. It
is also reported that the British fly
ing squadron will touch at the above
mentioned islands.
Ed Vogl arrived in town yesterday
from his ranch five miles north from
town, and reports lots of ptarmigan
and rabbits on the flats. The snow
is about 15 inches deep and going
fast at his place.
