HOSPITAL’S LUCK;
HOOCH TO BE GIFT
Invalids, take notice!
The Anchorage hospital, by entirely
legal means, is about to. came into
possession of 20 cases of very choice
pre-war liquor, according to District
Attorney F. H. Foster, who returned
from Anchorage on his way to Cor
dova, Ms home, recently.
About two years ago General Ash
ton, a prominent Washington poli
tician, took a cruise in a privately
chartered boat, going to Siberia. Bn
.route he stock up on liquor refresh
ment at Vancouver, B. C. On the way
'back the propeller blade of the craft
was damaged and it was necessary
to put into Seward for repairs. Here
the government confiscated the re
maining cases of hooch, 18 of them
containing rum.
Ever since the consignment has
been stored in the vault in the dis
trict clerk’s office at Valdez. Acting
upon advice of the attorney general,
Mr. Foster a few days ago signed
^n order turning the liquor over to
the railroad hospital in Anchorage
for medical use. The marshal is ex
pected to make the shipment shortly
from Valdez.
A number of girls at Columbia
University have adopted small tur
tles as pets, since dogs and cats have
been barred from the institution.
First prize in a “liars’ contest’
staged by the American Legion at
Enid, Okla., was won by Frank E.
Lorince, who received an appropriate
medal.

SPRUCE MILL MADE
RECORD FOR SEASON
Exceeding by three million board
feet the total cut made in any pre
vious year, a record annual cut has
been made by the Ketchikan Spruce
Mills which closed down recently
in Southeastern Alaska, to commence j
construction of the new box factory, i
Because of the delay in finishing of
■their newT mill, the Ketchikan Spruce
Mills did not commence Active oper
ation until April, one month later
than usual, in 1925. Despite this fact,
the total cut for the year is approx
imately 14,000,000 board feet or one
; quarter of the total cut for the ter
ritory, according to estimates made
earlier in the year by B. F. Heintzel
man of the forest service, who esti
mated that the annual aggregate cut
of the territory would be in the
neighborhood of 52,000,000. The Ket
chikan Spruce Mills exported 3,000,000
feet of lumber to Europe during the
last eight months.
Eldon J. Daly, president and man
ager of the spruce mills, said that
the mill would not commence cutting
again until the second week in Feb
ruary, 1926, the opening date depend
ing largely upon the demand for
lumber.
A force of men yesterday began
clearing off the space for the erec
tion of the new box factory and
planning mill and the Over Reach
Pile Driving Co., was to start today
on driving the foundations for the
structure, which will house one of
the most modern plants in Alaska
when completed.
Mr. Daly will leave for the states
at an early date to obtain the neces
sary equipment for the new manu
facturies and plans to have every
thing in readiness for operation when
the sawmill commences its work next
year.
