SEWARD- ALASKA
Inventor from Anchorage
On Way To Washington
As a result of an invention on which j
he has been working for a number of
years, Fred E. Bowman, well known
citizen of Anchorage, left Seward on
the steamer Alaska, en route to
Washington, D. C., where following
the conclusion of his business, he will
go to New York and Chicago where
he will interview large national man
ufacturing concerns who are anxious |
to handle his invention. This con
sists of an inside pipe wrench, a nip- ,
pie chuck affair, a radical departure ;
from the ordinary Stillson or other |
pipe wrench. An invention of this
sort has never been applied for at
Washington, Mr. Bowman stated, and

from the numerous inquiries he has
received from firms all over the Uni
ted States, every indication points to
the fact that he is on the road to
fame and fortune.
Mr. Bowman expects to be absent
for at least three months, and pro
viding his present plans are carried
through successfully, he will return
to Alaska at that time to remove his
family to the States. Mrs. Bowman
has been conducting a ladies and
children’s clothing store at Anchor
age for a number of year. Mr. Bow
man has been in the employ of the
Anchorage Commercial Company.
ALASKA’S LOSS IN
LOSING RESPECTED
CITIZEN, INTERIOR
MR. AND MRS. LOUIS GOLDEN OF
FAIRBANKS EN ROUTE TO
NEW HOME IN STATES
“After having spent over thirty
years in Alaska, I feel that Mrs. Gol
den and myself should locate in busi
ness in the States, and, unlike many
oldtimers of Alaska, remain there. Of
j course we look forward to returning
to the Territory sometime in the fu
ture to visit our many good friends,
but I do not believe I will go into
business here again. Howrever, one
can never tell,” remarked Louis Gol
den, who with Mrs. Golden passed
j thru Seward the first of the week en
route to the States.
Mr. Golden is undoubtedly the best
Known ana best liked merchant in
the country. It is stated by those who
have been his close friends for years
that Mr. Golden does not possess an
enemy and that in Alaska’s losing this
business man they are losing one of
the Territory’s best citizens. It was
over thirty years ago when in a small
way Mr. Golden began his merchan
dising career, selling groceries. To
day he has amassed a small fortune.
The best wishes of his thousands of
friends go with him and it is granted
that wherever he settles he will con
tinue to prosper.

SEAPLANE LANDS
IN DARKNESS ON
RESURRECTION
AVIATOR MERRILL RETURNS TO
SEWARD SECOND FROM KE
NAI IN ONE DAY.
Like Halley’s comet, with its firery
tail, darting from the heavens, the
Curtis seaplane, with aviators Davis
and Merrill on board, returned to
Seward last night at 8:30 o’clock
from Kenai, performing a teat which
if it was staged anywhere in the
States, would be featured in the
headlines of all the big dailies. The
ship was landed on the bay, in the
stygian darkness of the night, with
out a landing light to guide them.
To those on earth, watching the
darkened skies, hoping to catch a
glympse of the skillful pilots, noth
ing could be seen of the flying ship
with the exception when the plane
flew low over the water, opposite
the town, when the flames from the
exhaust, trailed out behind.
In anticipation of their late arriv
al the street lights wereturned on at
an early hour, in order to act as a
guide for the aviators. Following
their arrival over the bay the Seward
wharf lights were flashed on for a
few minutes, but the ship had al
ready landed safely, far out upon the
emerald waters of Resurrection bay.
For at least ten minutes, previous
to landing the staccato echo of the
powerful motor was heard, first from
one point of the surrounding moun
tains, then from another. People on
the streets were at a loss to ascer
tain in which direction to gaze, due
to the natural outdoor accoustics.
Kills Brown Bear with
Pick Handle, Wide Bay
From railroad brakeman to big
game hunter is the meteoric rise of
W. E. Strew, who, according to his
team mates, who returned to Seward
this morning from Wide Bay where
they have been employed on the
Hubble Dome road work, is now
slated among the big game hunters
of the Territory. But instead of us- >
ing a gun, like an ordinary mortal,
Mr. Strew uses -a pick handle. It is ,
reported the camp was awakened one
morning by a furious racket out
doors.
Rushing out they were astounded
to see Mr. Strew, and a good size
brown bear going aroupd like a wind
mill, Mr. Strew wielding a pick han
dle to such good purpose that the
bear ceased its struggles shortly,
falling to the ground with a dull
thud,—dead. Mr. Strew said the '
bear awakened him wiien he heard
it nosing about the camp cache. “Sure
makes a dandy rug,” he exclaimed.
Eastern Star Annual Picnic
Wonderful Success—Fine
Time Enjoyed, Big Crowd
The annual picnc of the Eastern
Star, which was held yesterday af
ternoon and evening at Mile 7, came
to a successful conclusion at about
midnight last night, and was consid
ered one of the most joyous affairs
of the present outdoor season. Prac
tically all members of the local or
ganization and their families were in
attendance at the picnic and the en
tire time was taken up with games
and eats, from the large and deli
cious variety of foods, and general
good times outdoors during the after
noon, and in the evening, in the
summer residence of Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Orlander, the evening was
rounded out with dancing to melo
dies from a phonograph.
Mrs. O. A. Johansen and Mr. Har
old Painter won the prize waltz
contest, in which all the couples en
deavored to win. The enjoyable af
fair was planned in its entirety and
carried thru so successfully by the
committee ladies, Mrs. J. P. Hannon
and Mrs. O. A. Johansen.
