PIONEER DEPUTY IS
Karl Armstrong, pioneer (deputy F.
S. marshal for fourteen years at Ko
dial?, who served fourteen years un
der various administrations, arrived in
Seward last evening on the Starr, anu
will remain over until the boat leaves
April 7th for westward points. Mr.
Armstrong was a former deputy under
R R. Brennoman, and during his term
! was stationed at Kodiak during the
1 eruption of Mt. Katmai, where he ren
! dered signal service in rescuing the
' native and white population whe
would undoubtedly have been lost in
the heavy tall 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 ih<’
Gateway has always concurred in
their judgment.
Talking about conditions to *the fai
westward Mr. Armstrong states tine,
he had a very successful year in th
iox business, selling many animals for
breeding purposes. He is in the busi- j
ness of transferring freight and pas-j
sengers from Kodiak to Kunatak, and j
has two boats in the service, the Ap* x j
II., and the Blazer, recently wreck*-d j
on the reef at Kanatalc, and purchas- j
ed by Mr. Armstrong from the under-;
writers. The Blazer, a twin screw I
gas boat, is unsually staunch, and is!
but little damaged from contact with;
the reef. Her engines will be remov-j
ed and the hull repaired and used as a 1
barge.
Mr. Armstrong believes that Kana
tak has a great future, and will be a
big camp before the end of the year.
He states he is agent for the Finnegan
lots at Kanatak. which will bo sold to
prospective locators.

their noses. He said that for some
time his part of the country was in to- j
tal darkness, caused by th*'k volcano.

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. Johansen, who formerly
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 j
Seward and like all other westward i
people, has that feeling of optimism, i
which speaks well for the future.
The Grand Igloo session of the Pic-;
neers of Alaska, which has been in ^
progress at Nenana for the past week, j
I came to an end at noon Sunday, April j
1, with a memorial service being con
ducted in the Coliseum theatre as the
concluding feature. Following the de
clared adjournment a special train
was taken to Fairbanks with the offi-j
j cers and delegate sas guests of hon- j
I or. On arriving at the terminal city !
I it was found necessary to divide the;
' party on account of the Hotel Nordale!
being destroyed, the ruins of the hos
telry being still smouldering when the
party arrived. Igloo No. 4, Fairbanks,
done the honors during the visit of the j
delegates in Fairbanks.
Those of the delegation who return- !
ea to Seward state that the sessions'
were very harmonious and enthusias-;
tic. Much work was accomplished iu
various ways, which will be for the
good of the North and for the order.
The sessions just passed are consid
ered to be the most successful ever
j held by the Pioneers.
The two most important resolutions
which were adopted at the sessions
were far a full territorial form of gov
ernment (No. 1) and on the fisheries
question (No. 2). Resolution No. 2 is
adverse to the reservation system in
principle, except that it be enacted as
an emergency measure. It recommends
that either the organic act be amend
ed to give Alaskans power to handle
the fisheries or the enactment of a law
direct by congress to give adequate
protection to the industry and the con
servation of the food fish supply.
<
The grand igloo officers were elect
ed principally from the Nenana and
Fairbanks Igloos, with Fairbanks be
ing selected as the nmeeting place for
the nest grand igloo session, to be
