PIONEER DEPUTY IS
Karl Armstrong, pioneer deputy l\
S. marshal for fourteen years at Ko
diak. who served fourteen years un
der various administrations, arrived in
Seward last evening on the Starr, and
will remain over until the boat leaves
April 7th for westward points. Mr.
Armstrong was a former deputy under
F. It. Brenneman, and during his term
was stationed at Kodiak during the
eruption of Mt. Katmai, where he ren
dered signal service in rescuing the
native and white population who I
would undoubtedly have been lost in
the heavy fall of ashes but for his;
efficient aid. There are many resi- •
dents of the westward isle who swear
that Karl is the best deputy that ever
served in the Third division, and the!
Gateway has always concurred in
their judgment.
Talking about conditions to the l'ar |
westward Mr. Armstrong states that
he had a very successful year in the
fox Dusiness, selling many animals for
breeding purposes. He is in the busi
ness of transferring freight and pas
sengers from Kodiak to Kanatak, and
has two boats in the service, the Apex
II., and the- Blazer, recently wrecked
on the reef at Kanatak, and purchas
ed by Mr. Armstrong from the under
writers. The Blazer, a twin screw
gas boat, is unsually staunch, and is
but little damaged from contact with
.he reef. Her engines will be remov
ed and the hull repaired and used as a
barge.
Mr. Armstrong believes that Kana
tak has a greait future, and will be a
big camp before the end of the year.
He states he is agent for the Finnegan
’.o<ts at Kanatak, which will be sold to
prospective locators.

’ STIRR IN YESTERDAY:
LEAVES RT WEEK END
The steamer Starr arrived in port
yesterday afternoon from its regular
trip to the westward with six first
class passengers and fourteen steer
age passengers. Those listed were
S Hugh Osborne, Karl Armstrong, Geo.
I Albert, M. W. Goldstein, Mrs. Baugh
| man and W. A. Shields. It is believ
| ed the steamer will make a special
! trip to Kanatak before making its reg
ular voyage to the westward.
The steamer brought to Seward an
: augur-stem belonging to the Associat
j ed Oil Company which is in need of
; repairs. The w'ork will be done in
! town at the Seward machine shop.
While towing a barge from Chignik to
Kanatak the Starr broke one of its
booms. The barge became waterlog
ged and in danger of sinking the boom
was used to keep it afloat, cracking
order the heavy strain. Eventually it
was taken back to Chiknik.
Those w ho made the trip report that
exceptionally fine weather was had.
SELDOVIAN VISITING
Arriving from the westward for the
purpose of paying a business visit to
Seward was Anton Johansen, well-|
known oldtimer and businessman of.
Seldovia. Mr. Johansqn, who formerly j
conducted a mercantile establishment
at Seldovia, has disposed of that hold
ing but still retains other ventures in
addition to considerable realty. He
will visit in Seward until the depar
ture of the Evans. Mr. Johansen is
well pleased with the appearance of
Seward and like all other westward |
people, has that feeling of optimism,
which speaks well for the future.
Fire Chief Dedoyard and wife this
morning made a trip to Fourth ot
July creek while the tire quarters
were being used for polling booths.
Ten men who were working with the
Lost Harbor sulphur company were
numbered among those who catne to
Seward on the Starr yesterday.

CAPETOWN, April 3—The history of the ancient
kingdom of Ethiopia from 750 years before Christ to 300
A. 0., has been completed and is now in print. The history
was made possible by the Harvard Boston expedition head

Soudan and by the opening up of tombs and excavations
of buried cities. The professor said that the culture of the
ancient Ethiopians stands out far ahead of the Egyptians,
and in many ways surpasses our present civilization. He
said that the Ethopians were not African negroes but a
different race altogether, although of dark skin and that
they were not ruled as has been formerly believed, by a
long line of Queens, but that every ruler was a male.
