SHONBECK A PROMINENT
CITIZEN OF ANCHORAGE
A. A. Shonbeck, who arrived ;n Sew
ard yesterday to meet Mrs. Shonbeck,
who returned on the Alameda from
an extended visit to the States, is one
of the solid citizens of Anchorage. Mr.
Shonbeck is a wholesaler of mining j
supplies and dealer in provision, and
has great faith in the railroad town.
He donated a large tract of land to
the city which was cleared and is now
used as a flying field by Alaska via- j
tors. Mr. Shonbeck came within five
votes of being elected mayor of An
chorage at the last city election, and
still retains his seat in the city coun
cil.
Mr. Shonbeck declares that the re
port that he is head of the newspaper
syndicate is an error, and that he is
engaged solely in the mercantile busi
ness.
Mrs. Eba M. Funk, who until re
cently conducted a dressmaking estab
lishment next to the Baldwin grocery
at Cordova, was married this week
to George' W. Smith, at Anchorage.
Having taken the scalps of both
Seward and Fairbanks, the Anchorage
High school basketball team wants to
annex Cordova’s title. Seward fans
are attempting to get the two teams
to meet and play here, the Cordova
bunch coming over on the boat and
the Anchorage team by train. It would
allow' the boys to play three games,
by playing a double header one night.

Seventeen years is a long time to be
away from the Gateway City, says
Mr. S. M. Druxman, who is registered
at the Van Gilder. To a representa
tive of the Gateway Mr. Druxman re
lated with enthusiasm the story of how
he lived here with his parent/ seven
teen years ago. Incidentally he was
known as a clever 133-pound boxer,
and fought a 10-round bout with a
Mick from Brooklyn. Modesty forbaje
Mr. Druxman from mentioning the
winner of the contest, but it was held,
under the auspices of the chamber of
commerce, and was the talk of the
settlement for many days. And wine
flowed freely over the victory. Mr.
Druxman at present is in the clothing
and tailoring business, and is on his
way to Fairbanks to look over the
field in view of opening an up-to-date
establishment of a similar nature. He
says Seward and Fairbanks are the
chief topics in the lounging rooms of
the Seattle hotels and knows of several
who are coming into this section to
engage in business.
H. F. Starr, the new manager of
the Grouse Lake hatchery, arrived
with his family, from Ketchikan, and
is registered at the Van Gilder.
