SELDOM FORGING
ALE VD; MANY MEW
BUSINESSES STARTED
That Seldovia and surrounding dis
j triat is forging ahead despite the bot
i tling of its natural resources by a
paternal government is shown by the
new canneries and other businesses
going in the past year.
One of these is an all year round her
ring plant, and the other is a com
munity cannery. These industries
with several new homes have brought
about a lasting air of prosperity, the
citizens of the town working together
to secure other plants.
Seldovia is an old town, advantage
ously situated in a deep water har
bor, well sheltered from the winter
winds, but evidently overlooked from
lack of advertising . The principal
business houses at Seldovia are run by
Chambers and Colwell, and Anton Jo
hansen, who carry stocks which are
more complete than may be found in
towns many times larger. One of
the best dance halls in Alaska is main
tained here by Mr. Johansen, the in
habitants tripping the light fantastic
more often that other localities owing
to the monotony of the long winters.
A hard wood floor with amplifying
phonographic attachments gives quick
results, and a pool hall, ice cream par
lor, and barber shop are also to be
found in the same building. Seldovia
merchants are progressive and main
tain fine light plants, a water system,
and other modern facilities; and the
steep-too shore line, provides fine
dockin gfacilities. Situated at the
mouth of Cook Inlet, nearly every ves
sel going and coming calls at Seldo
via.
Just north of the town lies Kache
mak Bay and Homer Spit, where some
of the finest farms in the Territory
may be found. Many homesteaders are
taking advantage of the free lands
to prove up on small holdings, and
large grazing tracts provide range for
cattle and sheep.
Among the industries to be found
near Seldovia is that of fur farming,
the climate being especially adapted
for fine fur. It is the only spot in
Alaska as yet where fur farmers have
made small fortunes from raising of
Jdack and silver gray foxes. Many of
the islands around Seldovia have made
their owners wealthy, and others are
starting up.
It has been stated that the Jesse
Lee home at Unalaska will be removed
to Seldovia and if this is done, the
! population will be increased by several
| hundred . With fishing, clams,-crabs,
! large coal deposits, and the forests
| alive with moose and the hills full of
I sheep, the Seldovians live easily and
i contentedly, without thot of the keen
competition of the outside world.
NEW HERRING SALTERY
It is reported that a new saltery
I at Red Fox bay has been established
by Grenheim Bros, who expect-to put
up ten thousand barrels this season.
Thirty men and women are employed
and about live hundred barrels have
been packed so far. Grenheim Bros,
are doing their packing on the Rob
erts floater. The dock at Uganik has
been rebuilt and the capacity of the
cannery enlarged materially. —
TWO TRAPS AT UYAK
The Alaska Packers have set two
traps at Uyak harbor since the gov
ernment lifted the fishing reserva
tions and satisfactory catches are be
ing made.
B. E. CROW GENERAL AGENT
According to an official circular
issued by the Alaska railroad today
B. E. Crow has been appointed gen
eral agent for the railroad effective
immediately and the position of train
master has been abolished. Mr. Crow
will report to General Manager Lan

THE SEA LION HAS
MANY THRILLING SCENES
Hobart Bosworth promises another
treat for motion picture fans who de
light in his drawing of strong sea
characters when ‘The Sea Lion,” his
latest starring venture, opens at the
Liberty Theatre tonight.
The Sea Lion is a study of the
unbending ways of the sea and the
stern character of sea captains. The
plot deals with a calloused old
Scandinavian master of a whaling
schooner, a regular old viking whose
life has been embittered by the wife
he believed to have been unfaitful
to him twenty years previously.
When chance makes his daughter an
unwilling passenger on the ship the
captain wreaks his vengeance upon
her. The revelation of the truth
comes in a series of smashing cli
maxes that reach the height of emo
tion.
Unusual thrills are shown in sev
HISTORIC ELM TREE BLOCK
PRESENTED TO MUSEUM
i A block of the historic elm tree un
der which George Washington took
command of the American army July
3, 1875, presented to the Territory of
Alaska, has been received by the Al
aska Museum, at Juneau, according to
announcement made by Curator Rev.
A. P. Kashevaroff. This interesting
piece of elm tree is now on exhibition
| there.
Rev. Kashevaroff stated that Forest
Service officials have in their posses
sion a small log which was taken from
the forest which is buried under Muir
Glacier. This forest is a pre-glacial
one and was covered by the ice thous
ands of years ago. As the ice slowly
melts the forest is gradually being
uncovered.

Wham, Senators’ Desks
Spoiled by Many Blows
\\ ASHINGTON, July 12—Now that
Congress has adjourned carpenters
and cabinet makers are busy going
over the desks in the senate cham
ber tightening them up, removing the
blemishes and scratches where* em
phatic fists of senators have been
pounding since last December.
Pouding desks is a senator’s chief
means of driving home what he has
to say. The furniture has come in
for some rough usage in the session
just ended.
When a senator arises to denounce
Wall Street or the corrupt interests
or something else, the desk before
him for the moment personifies th<^
object of his criticism and he socks
it right and left.
“The time has come (bang) when
a halt (bang) must be called on the
inroads being made (bang! bang!) by
the corrupt interests (wham) upon
American liberty (bang! wham! biff)
and so on.
The senators have become so used
to their own pounding that they can
sleep contentedly with a bombard
ment at their ears.
One of the most enthusiastic desk
pounders is Senator Robinson of Ar
j kansas, who usually plays a xylo
I phone solo on his own desk and then
I strolls over and biffs his neighbors’.
