COMMUNICATED
To the Editor: I desire to coire-i
all newspapers that are ill advised on
the location of the new oil fields. It
is tiresome to read about the “Strike
at Cold Bay.” I want you to distinct
ly understand we are 28 miles from
“Cold Bay.” There are 16 miles of
marsh land, a fairly good beach and
room enough for five or six townsites,
but the only inhabitants are three old
emaciated seagulls. They are so tired
and feeble that the fish bones stick
out under their wind. It puts me in
mind of the vultures of the Arizona
desert who are looking for the pros
pector to feed you. We know of no
such place as ‘‘Cold Bay.” I am no
weaver of dreams; but this is a fact.

Chin Wan, a celebrated Mongolian
cook of early days, is back in the gov- j
ernor’s kitchen at Juneau after an ab-!
sence of fiVe years. He was cook for
Governor J. F. A. Strong and when he
resigned Chin went to the States and
later made a trip back to China. The
chow in the governor’s mansion ap
pealed to Chin too strongly, and he
returned home. Chin is one of the
few Chinese who has the utmost re
spect of his white associates, and was
one of the few permitted to remain in
Juneau at the time the Chinese were
run out a number of years ago.

Unga News
UNGA, May 2S.—The Parent-Teach
ers’ Association are completing the
sidewalk they are furnishing the
town.
Friday the 11th day of May, the first
class ever graduated from the Unga
school graduated with honor to them
selves and their teachers. The Misses
Esther Lauritzen, Gladys Larsen and
Viola Sloberg composed the class.
These exercises closed a very success
ful term of school for the teachers.
Miss Orah Dee Clark and Miss Selma
Simonson, both of Anchorage. They
have both been offered the school for
another year by the school board.
Following the exercises a basket ball
was given, lunch baskets being sold
to the highest bidder and besides hav
ing an enjoyable time until the wee
sma hours enough money was raised
to pay off the indebtedness of the
town hall and make some badly need
ed repairs. Thanks to the P. T. A.
Our U. S. commissioner who has
just returned from the States is get
ting into harness again in good shape,
his trip having done him a world or
good.
The ISth of May, Unga received vis
tors on the steamer Starr, the Hon.
Dan A. Sutherland and Hon. E. E.
Chamberlin. Our delegate and sena
tor were heartily welcomed and both
were entertained royally. After ad
dresses by the delegate and senator,
Capt. Johansen spoke and Miss Fuller
gave a health talk, and then dancing
until daylight with a fine luncheon by
the ladies.
Mr. Sutherland by his straightfor
ward talk made a great many friends
in Unga and the people all agree he
is the man to send to Washington.
Mr. Chamberlin made many friends
in Unga. He has done a great deal
to build up the educational system of
the territory and is particularly in
terested in the schools ot the Terri
tory, being a member of the board of
education.
The 22nd of May the coast guard
cutter Algonquin came Unga to
have the surgeon aboard operate on
Mrs. Kronen. He performed the op
eration ithe next morning and at this
writing she is doing nicely. The cut
ter was in port four days. Mr. E.
Horsman, the druggist had been at
tending her, but could not operate and
so wired the Algonquin to stop as they
were passing.
Miss Orah Dee Clark has taken a
trip to Unalaska to visit old friends
before returning to Anchorage.
Mr. William Stoddard of the staff 01
the Fisheries Bureau is in the district
and on the job again. Mr. Stoddard
is well liked by the people and is first
class in his work. Mr. L. G. Wingard,
the newT fish commissioner, is here and
very busy issuing permits 'to fish. Mr.
Wingard is newr in this district but
has already made a good imppression.
On the 20th of May word was re
ceived by wireless wras received from
Port Moller that Captain Cunningham
and six others had been missing for
36 days and that his boat was found
near Bear river partly filled with sand.
The boat was broken in the middle,
and only the forward portion was
found. The cabin was found after
wards by' the searching panties near
Sandy river. The stern of the boat
and the engine the parties have not
been able to locate. All hope of res
cue is abandoned. Mrs. Cunningham
is now in Unga and expects to return
to Herendeen bay in a day or two to
; take up the search again. The wreck
occurred about April 26th, during bad
weather on Bering sea, as the party
was returning home. The boat w^as
28 feet long, Columbia river model,
powered with a five-horsepower Stan
dard engine.
The Pacific American Fisheries Co.
cannery at Squaw Harbor will soon be
i ready for operation. Assure indication
! of the beginning of the salmon run is
j the appearance of the orca or killer
| whale, and large schools of them are
now around the mouth of Squaw har
bor and the Kelly Rock trap. The
genial Mr. Bradford, superintendent
of the cannery has about fifty of the
Perryville natives with him this sea
son. These natives ■were the Katmai
Indians and were forced to leave their
homes when the volcano blew up, and
the revenue cutter Perry moved them
j to Three Star Point and the govern
j ment built them homes there. There
| are about 25 families in the village
i and they still have their tribal cus
| toms. The place was later named
j Perryville.
All the independent fishermen here
are doing well. The Lauritzen boys are
bringing in good loads; Colwell and
Sjoberg are also bring in the bacon,
and are shipping codfish nearly every
boat.
Mr. Knute Knutsen, whose dory was
stolen last season and who was there
fore practically forced out of a sea
son’s work, has a bad hand, poisoned
by fish gurry, and has been laid up
for some weeks. He will be all right
again in a few days, and in the mean
time has gone to inspect his fox isl
and and take up supplies.
Chas. McCallum, former deputy
marshal, has moved his family to his
fox island and is on the way to make
a piece of money.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Skinner have a
new baby girl born May 18. Mother

cises in Unga the 11th of May.
The Komedal fishing station is a
busy place these days 'as they are
starting work in earnest.

Alaska Codfish company has returned
from Eagle harbor on Nagai island.
He has opened a station there and
