PRESIDENT Of ALASKA
COLLEGE GOES EAST
FI TWO MONTHS
On his way to Washington, D.
C. on matters concerning the
Alaska College, located near Fair
banks. President Clias. E. Bun
nell, departed Saturday, a pass
enger on the S. S. Alameda. He
will be absent about two months,
he said.
During Dr. Bunnel’s brief stay
in the city he renewed his many
acquaintances for it had been
over a year since he was here
having gone to the States last
year, via the Richardson High
way, and Valdez. Dr. Bunnell
stated he and the faculty were
very appreciative of the publicity
the Gateway has given the Col
lege and spoke highly of the
Geist expedition to St. Lawrence
Island; that, if it is possible, he
is desirous that Collector Geist
return to the island for another
year. Todate, more than 30,000
specimens have been gathered
all of which are of great value,
from both a curio and historical
viewpoint.
Dr. Bunnell said that he ex
pects at least 165 students to be
enrolled in the College at the be
ginning of the second semester
which is about three times the
enrollment of the first year. He
plans returning for the opening
of the semester. The students en
rolled represent almost every sec
tion of the United States and
with the extension of certain
Acts to the Territory, he anti
cipates a good incresae.

Like all great inventions the
mystery attached to the ghost
effect, which was produced at
the Liberty theater the other nite
during the presentation of the
"Cal of the Banshee”, was ex
tremely simple, once it is explain
ed. Some of the leading local
scientists and students of mech
anics have been laying awake
nights in an endeavor to figure
out how, when the theater was
thrown into complet darkness, a j
alleged spirit was dimly seen
floating thru the air over the j
heads of th audience. Much laugh
ter was produced yet it wove a
wierd spell over the supersticiously ;
inclined. As soon as the lights I
were snapped on again all eager- j
ly began searching the ceiling
and walls for wiring but, not so.
To cut a long story short, the
ghost was an ordinary mop,
smeared with phosphorus, and at
tached to a long fish-pole. The
pole was walked up and down an
aisle. Wasn’t that simple?
(But what if the mop had brok
en lose and fallen over the heads
of those in the ball-headed row?)
The sports editor reports that j
the Moose team at Anchorage
and the Seward Fire Brigade
basketball team, are planning a
three-game series either here or
in the ‘Biggest Little City in
Alaska.” The date has not yet
been agreed upon.
Charlie Harper, who has been
trapping in the Yentna and i
Kahiltna country, returned toj
Anchorage recently, report Sew- j
ard arrivals, after an unsuccess- i
ful season in that region.
Chris Kohler, former Seward
ite, will return about the first
of the year from Anchorage for
a few weeks stay during which
time he will redecorate one of
the local business houses.
