SANAK NOTES
(By Special Correspondent.)
Andrew Grosvold, the fox magnate
of this part of the world, came in on
the December mail boat and was a
i visitor here for a few days. Mr.
Grosvold, who was a resident of Sa
nak for a number of years before
locating at Sand Point, is always a
■welcome visitor here. We were all
sorry to learn that Mrs. Grosvold,
•who had intended to accompany him
on this trip, had met with a severe
fall which prevented her from com
ing.

We wish that some of the people
of the East and Middle West could
have a little of our “frozen Alaska’
weather. Not a particle of snow 01
even ice to be seen, and green grass
and other green plant everywhere in
evidence. Come to Alaska, folks
and be where you can keep warm
without fur overcoats, wool lined
o%eishoes or ear muffs. To be suit
we have su occasional high wTind and
^ when we do it is like everything else
Alaskan—pretty energetic—but what
does a little wind amount to? Noth
ing—(that is unless you are watch
ing .or the mail boat.)

I E. Mobeck was on the sick list for
la time recently. His son-in-law.
Chris Gunderson, came over from
Pauloff and took him over to the
Gunderson home where he could have
better care. We are pleased to learn
that Mr. Mobeck is much better at
the present writing.

The trappers seem to have bad a
pretty satisfactory catch the past
season. “Young Peter” Neilsen and
Tommy Hoblet returned just before
j “American Christmas” with fifty fox
! skins to their credit, and John Shel
likoff and Gus Lynch returned in
time to celebrate “Russian Christ
mas.” They brought in a load of
forty furs. These are all experienced
trappers. It takes more than medi
I ocre skill to induce wily Master Rey
nard to part with his pelt.

The Christmas tree at the school
house and the exercises connected
with it were a grand success. The
kiddies covered themselves with “glo
ry and honor” and caused their teach
er to feel a very justifiable pride in

Emanuel Freitus met with a seri
ous accident in which he sustained
a broken leg. He was over at Pauloff
and as he was launching his dory
preparatory to coming home in some
way his leg got caught between the
dory and a plank throwing him down
and fracturing the bones of the leg.
Mrs. Freitus is in Pauloff caring for
him. Chriss Gundreson set the in

E. Mobeck of Company Harbor and

beef be brought right off the range

good at all? Not even on the cattle
ranges of New Mexico, and yet we
are told that “Frozen Alaska” pro

CHARLES C. BENSON HAS
PLEASANT TRIP TO SWEDEN
Chas. C. Benson, well known busi
ness man of Seward, who returned on
the Alaska from a four months tour
in the old country and California, had
a most pleasant trip. Mr. Benson
went directly from Seward to Sweden,
where he visited his aged mother,
whom he had not seen for many
years. He visited the cities of Stock
holm, Gutenberg, Malmo and many
others, returning to the United States
in November.
He crossed the continent to Califor
nia, spending the winter in that state
and in Mexico. While1 south he saw
Chas. Walmsley, who formerly was
in the saloon business here; F. R.
Brenneman, former marshal of the
Third division, and E. L. Whittemore,
who left here last fall, and at the
present time is in business with his
son. Fourteen men are employed in
their roofing business, and the Whit
temores, father and son are doing very
well.
Mr. Benson reports an abnormal
winter in the states this year.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold McCutcheon,
popular members of the younger set
of Seward, will leave on tonight’s boat
for the States, where they will visit
with his people for a time. They will
return later in the year.
