ARCADIA?
R. Kern, former Seward resident
but for the last three years lo
cated on Elizabeth Island, near
Portlock, on the Jim Collias fox
ranch, is spending a few days in
town prior to returning home on
the S. S. Starr, next Saturday.
Kern is just as fat and sassy as
ever and enjoys leading the sim
ple life on the island where peace,
good will and brotherly love
reigns supreme.
How Uncle Sam takes care of
people ivi the far. out-flung lands
where transportation and com
munication is difficult, could never
be better demonstrated than at
certain points to the west of Sew
ard where the mail steamer Starr
makes a round trip each month.
On the last voyage out, a call had
to be made at Belkofski. by reason
of the fact three letters were to be,
dropped off there. This entailed
not only running shorewards in
pitch darkness to within five
i eights of a mile on the beach, but
the putting over of a lifeboat from
the steamer, the three letters repos
ing alone in a mail sack, five men
to handle the boat from the ship
thru the breakers to shore, and re
turn. Then up anchor and away
again.
And it seemed to be a fearful
place, what with the darkness, one
shore light faintly discerned from
a dwelling, probably, the racing
whitecaps and high, moaning wind.

WOULD DIVIDE SUITE |
OF TEXIS FIVE PIOTS
Diversity of interests, and the
advantages arising out of proxi
mity to the seat of the govern
ment. are urged in support of a
plan for dividing Texas into five
state . When one recalls that the
Lone Star state approximates the
Republic of Germany in area, the
argument brought forward by the
divisionists are not without; yet
it is not entirely clear why diver
sity of interest cannot permote
state as well aa» national wellfare,!
and air transportation coming
rapidly to the front, and radio
communication binding remote
communities together, mere size
will hardly justify division. Sen
timent has to be considered, and (
it will be difficult to invoke the'
shades of Sam Houston and davy
Crockett in breaking up a solidar
ity created in the stem days of the
Alamo.
A ROBBERY
Recently in Ketchikan, between
the hours of 9:30 and 11:30 the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward G.
Morrissey was entered and a box of
jewels was taken. While the value
was considerable, there was a sen
timental value attached to many
articles which could not be replac
ed and never will be unless per
chance. they might be returned. It
is difficult, in fact impossible, to
replace articles which have been in
| a family for the greater part of a
century.

J. W. Smith and a group of as
sistants. representing the Canadian
; government, went up the Taku
river to make a study of the feasi
bility of incorporating the town of
Tulsequah. A representative of the
Alaska-Juneau mining interests,
Horace M. Fraser, also left for Taku
and will participate in the investi
gation. Juneau is destined to be the
logical exchange station for the
new mineral country, according to
[Mr. Smith, just as Wrangell is the
'connecting point between Tele
graph Creek and the Stikine, and
,the outside. It is his belief, that
i no townsite could be established at
i the mouth of the Taku before years
of careful study had been made.
This leaves Juneau as the only
possible connecting point with the
mining belt and the states. —Cor

'STARR IS MOTHER SHIP
BRISm BAT VESSELS
The S. S. Starr, when she drops
her hook in Bristol Bay among
other steamers, might be described
as a “mother ship’’.
Laundry is sent to the Starr tc
be carried to Seward to be cleaned
up and returned: orders for manj
things are forwarded and sack
after sack of mail is sent aboard
As the echo of the Starr’s deep
lunged whistle dies away, the
chug-chug of innumerable small
craft is heard and these boats
everyone constructed like a strong
Itugboat, speed to the Starr and tie
,up; often small boats four deep are
i lined up alongside. Then a great
j scene of activity begins as greetings
i are exchanged, passengers trans
ferred and. stores and mail gc
'both ways.

ALASKAN INVENTOR
C. Nicholet, well known former
down-river mining man but the
past year located at Port Heiden
where he still maintains a trading
post, was a southbound passenger
on the S 8. Yukon, accompanied
by his wife and three children.
Mr. Nicholet, who is known as
the “Trader Horn” of Alaska —
First Officer John Tollbom of the
Starr so named him has been
financed on an mechanical of his
own invention and will take up
his residence in Seattle.
An optical illusion, a mirage, was
seen in Bristol Bay by passengers
on the Sev/ard-bound S. S. Starr.
This particular wavered inshore
about 10 miles over a group of small
islands and strange and fantastic,
lacy effects were woven in the air.
The solution of mirages on
oceans, plains or deserts, according
to Chief Mate John Tollbom, is due
to total reflection of light at the
surface common to two differently
heated strata of air. The reflected
image is seen, commonly inverted,
while the real object may or may
| not be in sight.
