NORTHLAND NOTES
Mining operations are at a stand
still on Moore creek owing to lack of
water in that vicinity. Such was the
report brought to Tokotna by Tom
Shallow who was on his way to the
creek from Flat recently.
An issue of July 19th of the Kusko
Times, published at Tokotna, reach
ed The desk. Who said service?
Coney Island, in its brightest noc
turnal splendor will have nothing on
the Juneau fair this year. The com
mittee in charge down there intend
displaying a large amount of fire
works which will illuminate the en
tire Gastineau Channel.
John Ford Starr, son-in-law of Gov.
Scott C. Bone, accompanied by his
wife and little daughter is leaving Ju
neau for California where the winter
i will be spent. Mr. Starr has been
j chief clerk to Secretary Karl Thiele
jin the office of the governor for al
most three years and expects to re
turn in the spring and resume his
duties in the capitol.
Sixty pair of blue foxes were ship
ped recently from Ketchikan for Shef
field Fox Farms, at Northfield, Mass.,
and for the Alaska-Arctic Fur compa
ny at Shismaroff, 200 miles north
of Nome. The well known Alaska
fur dealer, George Goshaw, negotiat
ed the purchase.
Under the auspices of the Ketchi
kan Elks and Moose Lodges, about
two hundred people took advantage
of the Prince Rupert fair, and left the
First City for the British Columbia
tpwn to indulge in the activities ex
tended them. In addition to the
crowd, a baseball team and two bands
accompanied. It is reported that more
people would liked to have gone but
owing to the Court Session being
held in Ketchikan many were compel
led to stay behind. The palatial S. S.
Prince Rupert voyaged the excursion
ists safe to the Exposition City.
It is roughly estimated that 6,000
people make Ketchikan their home
now. By the above figures, it makes
Ketchikan the wonder city of Alaska
as far as population is concerned.
Judson M. Coats, who has been em
ployed by the Juneau Electric & Pow
er company for some time, has resign
ed and will establish himself in a
business similar, carrying a complete
line of electrical supplies in the cap
ital city,
j
R. R. Fierson, superintendent of the
Alaska Steamship company recently
made the journey up southeastern Al
aska in the interests of his company,
inspecing the various agencies es
tablished en route.
Gladys Tamaree, sister of Wm. L.
Paul, the Ketchikan attorney, pass
ed away recently in the First City,
at the home of Mr. Paul.
It is planned to expend $150,000
to extend the plant of the Ketchikan
Spruce Mills. The expenditure giv
en is made by the demand of the
product of the company.
Some fine loganberries are said to
have been raised this summer on
Papke’s ranch, some few miles below
Petersburg. In fact has place is re
ported to be a varitable wonderland
in the many different kinds of fruits
which it produces.
A responsible citizen ol Nome, pro
jects a plan for the formation of an
Alaskan Society, which in no sense
would interfere with the Order of
Alaska Pioneers, but rather would
act In harmony with that body, to
be composed of bona fide residents
of the territory who, by reason of the
time requirement, would not be able
to join the Pioneers. We would sug
gest reviving the old spirit of the
Arctic Brotherhood, which is still
alive in some camp of the territory.
The Arctic Brotherhood is not a de
funct organization, as President Har
ding received the obligation of the or
der on his late trip to Skagway. A

1 little kindling added to that big or
ganization might, revive the spark
which is left in most of the camps.
This organization never interfered
1 with the Pioneers and as it is an es
tablished affair why not promote its
ritual, which is considered the best
of any lodge in existence.
According to the different newspa
pers throughout the territory, there
are more “First white women’’ in the
territory than malamutes. Since the
first statement was made by the Daw
son News of Mrs. Tremblay being the
first white woman to enter the terri
tory and who lived for years at For
ty-Mile, other papers come forward
with names that would fill a Sunday
P.-I. The latest is Mrs. Bompas, wife
of Bishop Bompas, who resided at
Forty-Mile and who was featured in
the Seattle-Alaska Weekly as J.he first
lady. As the Gateway stands neutral,
not contributing a name to the list of
“First white women,” it finds amuse
ment in gleaning over the squabblings
of defense. Who’s next! as the bar
ber said.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
J contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
| each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
j empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in*
formation write
