Fagan was operator at Seward in
11926 and 1927. In the latter year
he received word that a sister had
died and left an estate of $600,000
to him and another sister.

Ireland at the time and advised
his remaining sister to look after
his part of the estate. Later Fagan
was transferred to Kotzebue Sound.
Seveial months ago he received
wcid of his sister’s death and left
for Ireland to look after the estate.

! SET IHEID, BEPOBT
The annual closing date for hali
but fishing in North Pacific waters
is fixed on November 1, instead of
November 15, as heretofore requir
ed, under the new halibut treaty
recently signed by the United
States and Canada.
The International Fisheries Com
mission, which has continued to
carry on further investigations of
the halibut fishery, is empowered
to alter the close season from time ,
to time as it finds advisable, and,
with the approval of the Governor
General of Canada and the Presi- ,
dent of the United States, limit the
catch of halibut and take other ac
tion deemed necessary for preser
vation of the fishery.
The new treaty supplants the i
convention of 1923 and will remain 1
in force for five years and there
after two years from the date when
either of the contracting parties
shall give notive to the other of its
desire to terminate it. The treaty
will not be conc?de.,,ed for ratifica
tion by the United States Senate
until the next regular session of
Congress.
Dr. Maurice E. Corthell. of Ore- j
gon, has been appointed as physi- j
cian for the Federal Bureau of
Education for the Copper River
Valley region.
He is the first doctor ever to be
assigned in the Copper River dis
trict. Occasionally physicians rep
resenting the bureau have visited j
the villages there, but no regular
medical service has ever before j
been established for it.
The extension of medical service '
was made possible at this time thru
the cooperation of the Alaska j
Road Commission. It will provide j
traveling facilties for Dr. Corthell I
and sustenance for him while he
is out in the field along the Rich- |
ardson Highway and connecting I
roads and trails on which it main- !
tains crews. In return for this. Dr. i
Corthell will act as physician for 1
the employees of the Commission i
and their families in that section, j
A small hospital for emergency i
service will be fitted up at one of 1
the Commission's permanent J
camps. 1

ed the new brand of music nlayed !
by Mrs. Kunz at the piano, Mr. Rust j
on the banjo and Mr. Stroup on the !
saxaphone.

Co., is now dredging in the Sixty
mile district with Mr. Williams. His
brother Frank and son Harold
<Bud) are in the Sixtymile with

tions are expected to continue un
interrupted thruout the season. The
gold boat is located on the Sixty
mile River between Big Gold and

there will not be much more activi
ty until red salmon begin running

15 probably.
The main run of red salmon, now j
in progress in the Copper River
district, indicates at least a normal
run.

now open for business. Staple j
groceries at lower prices.
