NORTHLAND NOTES
The Knights of Pythias at their
regular meeting recently in Cordova
nominated officers, who will be vot
ed on at the December election.
Plans were laid for a series of so
cial affairs to be given this winter.
W. J. McChancellor for Alaska, who
has been on a trip outside, told of
his visits to other lodges in the west.
From the last mail received by
the Cordova chamber of commerce
was gleaned an interesting inquiry
from J. R. Cluff, a Milwaukee chir
opractor, who says he is contem
plating coming to our “frozen land”
if he can find a demand in the north
for a drugless healer.
Complaints that three more chil
dren have ibeen bitten lately by dogs
in Cordova have caused E. G. La
belle to announce that any dangerous
dogs found loose on streets will be
killed immediately. He expects to
ask the council to make more strin
gent regulations regarding Cordova’s
motive power.
While setting traps near Johnson
Bay, on the Sound opposite Cor
dova, Gus Stevens, 12-year-old son
of Sock Stevens, a native living in
town, accidentlly shot himself, the
bullet entering the thigh bone above
•the knee. He was brought to the hos
pital and the bullet was extracted.
Community building bonds of the
American Legion of Ketchikan, is
sued a year ago with interest at six
per cent on January 1, 1920. This
was decided at the regular meeting
of the Ketchikan post recently.
Harry Raymond, pioneer Juneau
ite and for many years engaged in
business in that city, has purchased
the Warm Springs Bay (Baranoff
postoffice) property from Doty and
Linton, and will conduct the same
as a health and pleasure resort.
Laden with quantities of camp
equipment, Bill Gussey and Neil
Newman departed from Cordova for
Mile 17, where they expect to trap
this -winter. Gussey was out all
summer with Joe Janey trapping
muskrats used by the government to
stock Kodiak Island.
Deaths of two children in Old
Town (Cordova) were reported to the
United States commissioner. Ten
year-old Josephine, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Alex Johnson, succumbed
to tuberculosis. Mr. and Mrs. Selkin
Deischoff also lost their 14-day-old
infant girl.
Letters received in Cordova state
that R. L. Stevens, formerly federal
game warden at Cordova, is now liv
ing near Long Beach, California, and
is employed as traveling engineer
for a railroad construction company.
Encrusted with the dust and grime
of a century or more, a small paint
ing of St. Michael was recently dis
covered in the basement of the
Russian church at Sitka and has
been given to the Cordova temple of
worship, now under construction on
the Eyak road.
Miss Francis Cosno, former
principal of the Territorial school
at Wrangell for three years has
been awarded her degree of Master
of Arts by the University of Wash
ington. Her subject chosen to write
her thesis was “A Partial Bibliogra
phy of Alaskan Literature,” a valua
ble work for which she deserves great
praise.
The camp of the Yukon Gold Co.,
near Dawson, has been closed and
men employed there are being trans
ferred to the Malay Peninsula, where
the company, which is owmed by the
Guggs, has large tin mines.
Despite the fact that the Yukon is
running pretty heavily with ice, says
the Dawson News, A. D. MacKeen
and William Ferguson still continue
to carry passengers back and forth
from the opposite shore.
An outstanding figure in Dawson
came suddenly to his eternal rest
when Robert Craig, pioneer of the
North and native of Scotland, passed
arway from heart failure some time
last Saturday nite.
Chief Isaac, faithful leader and
potentate of the Moosehide Indians,
dropped into the Dawson News office
recently to sound a note of warning
in connection with the increasing
[lumbers of wolves and coyetes which
ire investing the country for miles
iround Dawson.
Juneau republican leaders and
itaunch administration supporters
•or the most part declining to make
my comment on John Frame’s brief
o the White House against the re
I ' V I
appointment of Judge T. M. Reed,
did not hesitate to let it be known
they regarded it so lightly they did
not feel it needed any particular
discussion. Regular Republicans
generally, it was said, feel that
Frame has been so thoroughly ex
posed and discredited as to render
his machinations, and those attempt
ed to be worked through him, wholly
futile, says the Empire.
Two Indians ran into a band of fif
teen caribou on Moosehide creek,
Dawson country, recently. The hunt
ers managed to bag eight of the
band. One of the caribou, a big
bull, was standing guard when the
Indians came upon their prey, while
the others were lying dowrn.
Edward Keegan, son of the late T.
E. P. Kegean, former Juneau Police
Chief, was arres-ted the other day
on an indictment returned by the
Federal grand jury on a charge of
manslaughter. The indictment charg
es Keegan with responsibilty for the
death of Jimmy John, an Indian who
was killed on the highway last Sep
tember.
Acting at the request of Alaska
Steamship Co. officials, aroused by
reports that travelers’ trunks had
been robbed, local Federal deputies
boarded the steamer Alaska recently
and searched the quarters of the
crew, except those occupied by the
officers, for articles claimed to be
missing. None of these were found,
but one member of the crew fell
atoul of the dry lawr, lost his stock
and paid a fine of $15 in the local
U. S. Commissioner’s court.
M. H. Sides was elected command
er of Alford John Bradford Post No.
4, American Legion, for the year
1926, succeeding Harry Sperling, at
the meeting of the Post members at
their dugout in Juneau.
Replacing Jimmy McAlister, w^ho
retired to look after other business.
George W. Taylor is now manager
of the business of J. B. Burford &
Co. Mr. Taylor is an oldtime Alas
kan and resided in Juneau with his
parents wThen a small boy. He came
to Juneau from Skagwray recently,
bringing his wife and small son with
him. He was chief electrician for
the White Pass in Skagway and also
in charge of the Home Powrer Co.
“The High School Anchor” made
its debut last week in the form of
a four-page, four-column monthly
publication devoted to the recording
| of Anchorage school happenings
and news of students attending the
school in former years. The Seward
school has discontinued their paper.
About forty men, comprising the
remaining crew w^hich has been
w’orking on the extension to the
Moose creek spur the last few
months, arrived in Anchorage foliow
ing the completion of hte spur to
the Howard-Jesson mine.
At a representative gathering of
legionnaires and business and profes
sional men at Anchorage plans were
formulated for conducting a drive
for the American Legion endowment
fund.
Large reindeer herds, which are
being driven to Cantwell where the
fall butchering will take place, are
unable to cross the Nenana river
because the river is not yet frozen
over, according to word received
here ithis week by B. B. Mozee, head
fo the bureau of education work in
this district.
Through the generosity of Mr. L.
Thimme of Fairbanks, the Alaska
Agricultural Colleg and School of
Mines is therecipien t of a valuable

and publications of the “early days.”
Mr. Thimme has kept them and en
joyed them for the past twenty
ve years and more and now places
them where they will be preserved
for the enjoyment of future gener
ations.
