ANDREW BERG OF
KENAI IN TOWN
ON JURY DUTY
WELL KNOWN OLD-TIME RESI
DENT OF KENAI, COMES TO
TOWN—JURY DUTY.
Need New School House
Kenai Fishing Season Good Past
Season—Little Trapping
In Winter.
Andrew Berg, for mirty-six years, a
resident of the Kenai district, is pay
ing Seward one of his periodical trips,
which are more or less far apart. Mr.
Berg was called to Seward as a juror
daring the local court session, and
while here, is enjoying himself re
newing acquaintances with his many
friends whom he has not seen for
many 'moons. He is making the Sex
ton hotel his headquarters during his
stay.
Mr. Berg is probably one of the old
est residents of Kenai, old in number
of years living in thedistrict, but not
so very old in years, inasfar as age 1
is concerned. He is a licensed guide
and knows every inch of the Kenai
district.
Need New School House.
There is an approximate population
of 500 inhabitants at Kenai and at
least 140 of these are school children.
There are about 90 inrolled in the
school this year which is being con
ducted by three teachers.
Kenai school children must use
the present somewhat dilapidated ;
school plant for at least another
year. This situation exists despite
the fact that the Legislature at its ;
last session provided a special ap- I
propriation of $10,000 for the construc
tion of a school building at that place,
place. Plans and specifications for
the proposed school building were
prepared last May and calls for bids
published in a number of the Alaska
newspapers. The appropriation act
provides that the building shall be
erected under contract and that there
shall be at least two bids submitted. A
published call elicited no response.
An attempt will be made to interest
contractors in the project again next
spring. Should this attempt be un
successful the appropriation will re
vert to the Territory and will be no
longer available.

of the plan to restore “Old Ironsides”
by popular subscription, it was seized
upon as a rare opportunity of bring
ing to the children of the Nation the
patriotic and educational lesson to be
gleaned from the deeds of the U. S.S.
CONSTITUTION and the moral stim
ulus that her goodly victories had up
on the people of the young Republic
during the gloomiest period of our
history. From the moment that the B.
P. O, E. responded to this patriotic
call for service, the slogan has been:
“An Elk in Every School Will Save
‘Old Ironsides’.” It has been the ex
press wish of Curtis D. Wilbur, Secre
tary of the Navy, to give to the child
ren the first opportunity of raising the
$500,000 necessary to restore this his
toric treasure.
In order to assure the success of
the campaign it is necessary to place
the quota of each Elk lodge at $40 for
each 1,000 children within its juris
diction. Buttons will be sold on the
basis of one each to each ten cents
contributed.
