Dan Kennedy, well known McKinley
Park packer, left on yesterday’s boat
for Anchorage, on his way to the in
terior after spending the winter in
the States. He interviewed many
tourist agencies while outside and is
very optimistic over the promised tou
rist travel.
J. F. Tolman, better known as “The
Diamond Kid.’ of Anchorage, was an
arrival on the Yukon, going to Anchor
age on the fight special.
A Gateway representative was in
formed by Mr. Frank Reid, while in
Anchorage this week, that his com
pany would start on its power project
in the near future despite the refusal
of the voters to grant them a char
ter. The proposition embraces the
expending of nearly $200,000 for dam,
generators and power lines, and will
give the railroad belt cheap power
and light. Generators turning but 600
revolutions per minute will be used,
and it is estimated that 25,000 horse
power will be developed. Seward
will benefit from this project, accord
ing to Mr. Reid, as several contracts
for poles will be let in this vicinity.
While the Yukon was in Cordova on
the up-trip, Jack McCord of Seward
purchased twenty pairs of blue foxes
from the Green Island ranch. The
animals will be placed on Marmot isl
and near Kodiak, which was formerly
stocked with silver foxes.
Charles Leehner reports the sale
of another Ford car, the name of the
purchaser being withheld for a time.
Aron Ericson is giving the Sauers
building a much needed coat of paint.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
A snowslide at Mile 49 carried out
a bridge last night, delaying passenger
traffic over the railroad for a few days
at least. Passengers arriving on the
Yukon will take the Admiral Watson
for Anchorage, arrangements having
been made by the railroad for the ves
sel to make that port. About 130 pas
sengers who have been here for the
past three days will leave on the Wat
son.
Roy E. Clark, accompanied by his
bride Of three months, arrived in
Seward on the Admiral Watson this
morning en route to his home in Ko
diak, where he is connected with the
Alaska Experiment Station at that
place.
Mr. Clark passed through Seward in
May, 1922, on his way to the states
to secure medical treatment. While
overseas he received a fractured
spine, and after returning to this
country everything seemed well until
he met with a slight accident which
brought a relapse. He immediately
sought medical aid and left Kodiak for
Anchorage, where he consulted Dr.
Beeson who advised him to go outside
for help, as there were not enough
surgeons in Anchorage at the time to
perform the operation necessary.
Leaving here May 1 Mr. Clark went
to Seattle and immediately entered
the Swedish hospital, under care of
Dr. H. T. Buckner.
In order to remedy his splintered
spine it was necessary to perform an
operation on his shinbone and graft
from this onto his spine. This opera
tion being performed, the next was
to cut into the spinal column and
graft onto the spine by what is known
by surgeons as the Albey operation.
The only operation of its kind ever
performed in Seattle was performed
on Mr. Clark, 37 surgeons being in at
tendance at the time.
After convalescing in the hospital
for several years he finally became
strong enough to be about, and about
three months ago was married to a
graduate nurse in the institution in
i which he was so lotig confined. Mr.
j Clark is bringing north with him two
i police dogs of the German variety,
which will be used in the Kodiak ex
perimental station for breeding pur
poses. More will be added at a later
date.
About three years ago, when Mr.
Clark was in Kodiak, he proved up
on a homestead, and received his pat
ent before leaving for Seattle. He will
return to Kodiak on the Watson, which
leaves tonight at 6 o’clock, and live
on his homestead which adjoins the
experimental station.
The Slrelna Inn, on the Richardson
highway, which was recently destroy
ed by fire, will be rebuilt by its for
mer owner, according to reports.
J. L. McAllen, a Willow creek op
erator, who arrived on the Yukon, left
for the interior on the Admiral Wat
son.
J. R. Sherwood, of California, was
a passenger on the Yukon with his
wife and four children, en route to
Anchorage.
It is reported that Prohibition Agent
Claude Shea, Marshal Beaumont and
the Prosecuting Attorney of the First
division have started spring house
cleaning at Ketchikan, and many dope
peddlers, bootleggers and short card
sports are hitting for the states on
each boat.
The hunting party which will ar
rive in southwestern Alaska this year
from Oklahoma, will be composed of
C. E. Sykes, an oil operator, Dr. Long
mire, a prominent physician of Tem
ple, Texas, and Frank Hoffman of the
Hoffman Arm company. They will
hunt in the White river country and
to the westward, also taking a trip
over the Richardson highway and the
government railway.
Henry Wolf, owner of the Pioneer
Sheet Metal Works at Anchorage, was
an arrival on the Yukon, on his way
home after spending the winter in
the States.
Capt. S. E. Lancaster, head steve
dore for the Alaska railroad’s steam
ers at Nenana, arrived on the Yukon
and left for the Interior.
Eaton, Crane, Pike Stationery at
the Alaska Shop. tf
Forest Ranger John G. Brady yes
terday received a wire announcing
Chief Forester W. B. Greeley, had ap
proving the following appropriations
for this district for the year 1925:
For the Moose Pass road, $135,000.
For Seward roads and trails, $63,000.
Girdwood road surfacing, $5,000.
The total appropriation for the two
forest divisions in Alaska reach
$353,000.
Considerable work will be done by
the Bureau of Public Roads in this
section, the new cutoff from Mile 3
being probably the most important of
the many details planned. This road
will leave the present trail about Mile
3, meandering across the flats to the
hillside and intersecting the present
road at a point near Mile 5.
Betore leaving on the Admiral Wat
son tor Anchorage last night, Jack
McCord again emphasized the impor
tance of the Geologic Survey to all
Alaskans, stating that many strikes
had been made by following the ad
vice of this prominent department.
Since the death of Alfred Brooks, Mr.
Capps has been at the head of the de
partment, and he also is greatly inter
ested in Alaskan mineralogy.
Mr. McCord declared that the mem
bers of the Geologic Survey had vol
untarily cut the appropriations of the
department from $150,000 tto $75,000
during the war, but this sum now was
not enough to allow the usual com
plement of men in the field. He ask
ed that the Sewand chamber of com
merce co-operate with all chambers
in the Territory in securing the full
appropriation for the department, as
its members were prohibited from ask
ing or lobbying for an increase.
Poor health compelled Miss Ger
trude Watson, daughter of deputy U.
S. marshal Charles Watson, of Anchor
age to return to her home from at
tending school in Tacoma.

Four Yukon river pilots and cap
tains were in Seward this week when
the steamship Yukon arrived in port.
They were all old timers who have
been enjoying the salubrious breezes
and diaphanous garments of southern
California the past winter. Captain
Hollis Looney spent the winter in Los
Angeles; Capt. James Crowley, Capt.
C. W. Adams, and Capt. Bill Hartnett
spent the winter in other coast cities.
Tom Hyde and L. M. Dow are engi
neers on the General Davis and Gen
eral Jacobs, river steamers belonging
to the Alaska railroad.
It is reported that Captain Charles
Emswiler of this city has chartered
the gas boat Mary Ellen and barge,
from Capt. Jack Riley, of Valdez, and
will place the vessel on the Seward
Nuka Bay run this season. The Mary
Ellen was built by Capt. Thomas at
Bellingham, Wash., in 1904, and at
the time of her launching was the flag
ship of the Bellingham Yacht Club.
She was schooner rigged at this time
and was a sweet heavy weather boat.
She was brought to Alaska by the
Captain and sons, and used as a ten
der for the Culross mines for several
years. Later the vessel was purchas
ed by Capt. Riley and a fine gas
engine installed. She will carry con
siderable tonnage and a number of
passengers.
The large barge will give Nuka Bay
a good freight and passenger service,
and an effort will be made by the res
idents to have a mail route establish
ed.
The halibut schooner Republic ar
rived in port yesterday with 25,000
pounds of halibut which were sold to
the San Juan Fisheries and Cold Stor
age Company. The boat was outfitted
for her return trip by the Seward
Trading Co.
The gasboat Ivanhoe was in port
yesterday writh 9,000 pounds of hali
but which was sold to the local cold
storage plant. The Seward Trading
Company outfitted her for her return
trip to the banks.
A crane, two engines, a coach and
several cars loaded with steel left
this afternoon for Hunter, Mile 40.
The crew will then proceed to Mile
49 where the bridge w'ent out yester
day. The track is clear near Tunnel
at the scene of the snowslide which
occurred Saturday night.
A bell is dumb without a tongue,
but it’s the tongue that reveals a
dumb bell.
Another thing tfiat baffles agents
of the law Is a slice of the plunder.
H. O. Roberts, manager of the Ko
