ANCHORAGE CORRESPONDENT
SENDS BATCH OF NEWSY AR
TICLES FROM COOK INLET—
SALMO HAS MISHAP.
The Anchorage correspondent of
the Seward Gateway writes that the
mail boat Salmo, Captain Tom Perry,
on one of her recent trips to Iliamna,
had her engine badly damaged, break
ing a connecting rod, which punch
ed a hole in the base and wrecked
the piston and cylinder head. Out
side of that everything was all right.
He returned to Seldovia limping in
on two cylinders, thence to Anchor
age where the machinery was over
hauled and repaired. He departed
from the Inlet metropolis a few days
ago, with a record load of passen
gers and cargo for Cook Inlet ports.
Among the passengers 'brought to
Anchorage on the Salmo were the
Misses Anita and Lydia Ressoff, who
made their first trip to Anchorage as
guests of Captain Perry, and hi3
daughter Nona. Their first visit to
a large Alaskan town was enjoyed
immensely, it is stated, and they
were rather reluctant in going back
home.
Jack Ross, one of the winners of
I the last Nenana ice pool, who has
i been residing at Anchorage for a
; number of years, will arrive in Sew
ard the latter part of next wTeek to
catch the steamer Yukon for Seat
tle. This will be his first trip Out
side in 27 years and his first trip to
his old home in the East in 36 years.
He plans going to the East coast via
the Panama Canal, and will visit in
New York, Montreal and Quebec over
the winter and will then come back
to Alaska in the Spring.
Miss Sylvia Sinding, 'the noted pri
madona, who was a brief visitor in
Seward several weeks ago, while en
route to the Interior on a vacational
trip, departs from Anchorage in a
few days for Fairbanks. During her
last concert engagement in the
States, it is said Miss Sinding seri
ously injured her health. Since
coming North she has felt a marked
improvement. While in Anchorage
it is stated that Miss Sinding has
been quite a treat to that town’s
favored sons and daughters. Seward
is keenly awaiting Miss Sinding’s re
turn where it is hoped the nationally
known concert singer will render a
program prior to her departure for
the States.

ALASKA SPRING
COMPLETES SURVEY OF OIL RE
GION ON WAY TO WASHING
TON TO AWAIT APPROVAL
Bound for Washington, D. C., to
await the approval of the field notes
from the geological survey at Iniskin
bay, after which permits will be re
quested to file on certain lands in the
region, Jack* McCord departed from
Sewrard Tuesday morning for the

probabilities early drilling will begin.

turned to Seward Sunday on the Re
dondo from Iniskin bay and Kodiak
island. At the latter named place Mr.
McCord conducts a fox and sheep
ranch.
Upon arriving in Seattle he will
proceed at once to Portland, to turn
in a report to a group of Portland
bankers, who are interested finan
cially in Alaska, after which he will
be a member of the Hinde party, driv
ing to Los Angeles from Portland, Mr.
McCord does not anticipate returning
north until next spring.

“QUALITY FIRST”
i Steamer Starr May Be
Day Late Arriving Port
Due to the fact that the steamer
Starr, Captain O. A. Johansen, is stop
ping at Uganik on her way to Sew
ard, it is believed the vessel will be
a day late in arriving at this port.
The sturdy vessel was scheduled to
arrive tomorrow from her last trip to
Dillingham, to the far Westward, but
it is not thought likely that she will
arrive now until the following day,
Friday. Throughout the coming fall
| and winter the Starr will go as far
| west as Unalaska only.
