LAURITS HANSEN LAURITSEN
Laurits Hansen Lauritsen was born
jn Denmark, Hurcpe, January 13, 1869.
and died at Canyon Creek, Alaska.
February S. 1924. Mr. LauriLen earn
to Alaska in 1S9(>, and lor 27 years was
a resident of this Territory, most of
which time he lived in the viein'ty ol
Su: ri. e lie was a miner and tor sev
eotl years worked a placer claim on
Mills Creek. Late- l.e took a course
in mineralogy and assaying at. the
I'nivermty ol Wisconsin.
In 1912 he was cav.ght in a lam.r.lidt
while working the Martin claim near
Sunrise and it was five hours before
he was rescued. From the effects of
this accident Mr. Lauritsen never fully
recovered. For the past few years he
was employed as foreman of the An
derson property on Canyon Creek,
where he suvervised the construction
of a dam. In this camp he died Febru
ary 8th, 1924.
He was a charter member of the
Seward Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska. He
was also a Mason and an Odd Fellow.
The latter order conducted the funeral
services at Seward and his body was
shipped to Newman, Calif., for final
interment.
Such is the brief sketch of the life of
one of the most respected residents of
Alaska. He was upright and industri
ous, sincere and loyal to his friends.
He was a Pioneer in the fullest mean
ing of the word. Food and shelter were
always available to all who passed his
door.
The death of Laurits Hansen Lau
retsen ended a notable career of use
iulness and many friends mourn his
untimely end. May he rest in peace.;
The Battle of the Creeds
Behind the battle of the creeds lies;
the battle of life, a much more seri
ous affair. Wherever the seriousness
of the greater battle is deeply felt, the
bitterness of the lesser is lessened. The
two battles are not unconnected, but

they should be taken in their right or
der. Churches and sects which begin
oy fighting lor their creeds are apt to
end by fighting for their own import
ance, which is contrary to the spirit
of the Christian religion and to the
express command of Christ.
Any church or thinking person has
a creed. The trouble today is many
people have outgrown the interpreta
tion of the creeds which were accept
able to their grandmothers, and others
who have not so grown are getting ex
cited and saying things about then
brethren which very often seem child
ish and frequently are really most un
charitable.
A Harvard student once went to
Bishop Lawrence when he was the Un
iversity preacher and said: “I was
brought up at home, a Christian boy;
I came here to college and hoped to
remain a follower of Christ but I am
no longer a Christian; my faith is
gone.” The bishop asked, “What is
the trouble?” The young man re
plied, “I cannot any longer believe the
world was created in six days and a
friend has told me that I cannot deny
that and remain a Christian.” The
bishop responded, “If that is the case,
I am not a Christian either.”
This question confronts many ear
nest people today: How is it possi
ble for me to live in the free air and
search for truth, meet the intellecutal
changes as they come, and yet with
honesty be able to accept the odd
creeds of the churches? This subject
will be considered in the sermon next
Sunday at the 11 a. in. service which
will be held at St. Peter’s Episcopal
Church.
L. J. Hull and 1. M. Foster of the
Alitak Packing Company have secured
a permit to operate a clam cannery on
Kujuiik bay, on the mainland, opposite
Kodiak island. It is planned to operate
on a small scale.

Two Miles of Sphagetti
Eaten by a Missourian
KANSAS CITY, Mar. 27—Frank
Rufalo Friday held the world’s cham
pionship for spaghetti eating. He ate
the longest meal on record—10,584 ft.
of Italian spaghetti—at the annual
banquet of Little Italy here Thursday
night.
The new champion^ pitched more
than two miles of spaghetti in two hrs.
and 24 mins, outdistancing Walter M.
Randazzo ,the former champion. Ran
lazzo collapsed one hour and fourtten
minutes after the competition com-1
menced.
Up to the time that he passed out
Randazzo, whose forte is speed, pitch
ed and average of 1,000 feet of spa-1
ghetti each seven minutes. He had con- j
sumed 10,521 feet, and, after he gav
up all Rufalo had to do was to pass 1
that mark before the two and one half
hours allotted for the contest had ex
pired.
The two men had been told to eat j
the longest meal they could in the two j
and a half hours the regular banquet
was in progress.
A third entrant was ruled out by the
assistant health commissioner, who, af '
ter an examination, declared the en-1
trant was not in physical condition,
:lue to lack of training for the event.
J. E. Crutched, file clerk in the head

The building known as the Reilly
cabin on Boob Creek, in the Tolstoi
section, was burned to the ground last
week, as well as a barn located some
feet distant. The cabin was occupied
by John Rieck and Scotty Auld. The
day was a severely windy one and any
attempt to save the building was out
of the question, the structure burning
to the ground in about twenty minutes
time.

EASTERN MAGAZINE
NEW NOTION OF ALASKA
The following recently appeared in i
an Eastern magazine.
“A press report a short time ago
stated that all Alaska is in the grip of
the moving picture craze. In six
months it was reported, motion picture
houses in the north had increased two
hundred per cent. The picture theatres
are housed in shacks, lofts and on an
chored ships, in salmon canneries and
in road houses along the trails.
“It is said that the movies have sup
planted to a large extent the card
rooms, billiard and pool halls, as well
as the gaming and dancing places. At
the same time it is instructive to note
that the Alaskans are not much inter
ested in pictures of the cold North, but
like their movies to have a foreign set
ting, they demand society pictures
with ballroom splendor, exquisite cus
tumes and elaborate settings. They I
also are much interested in news reels
and scenic delineation.
