NIGHT SCHOOL IN
FIRST CITY TAKES
ON MANY MEMBERS
That Alaska is forging ahead in
educational facilities goes without
saying. There are many who are un
able to take advantage of High
School, either on account of age or
probably being the bread winner of
the family and, yet craving that
amount of educational value which
tends to keep the average citizen
above the water at all times and
makes better citizenship.
The Ketchikan school has started
a movement in this direction and
the public school building of that
town is being used as a night school
and many are taking courses, rela
tive to those given the high school
students during the day period.
The supervision of this night school
comes under the head of the su
perintendent of public schools in the
First City and by all reports is tak
ing on an air of any night school of
a metropolitan city. Almost any sub
ject can be taken providing there are
several in number faking the same
course. In addition to mental train
ing, physical culture is administered
which gives the student at night the
same instruction afforded those of
the day time.
SILVER WAVE REPORTED
TO BE DRIFTING OUT
TOWARD ARCTIC OCEAN
The Nome paper gives a thrilling
account of the U. S. Revenue Cutter,
Mojave, in her recent attempt at
rescue of the crew of the Silver
Wave, a gasoline launch belonging
to and being operated by the Lomen
Transportation Co.
After bucking ice of six inches in
thickness’ the Mojave returned to
Nome without finding any trace of
the ship in distress. During the
cruise in the icebound channels of
he Arctic and Kotzebue Sound, the
Mojave used as signals her powerful
search lights hoping that the glare
would cast a reflection upon the
“ship without a rudder,” and receive
in return some signal giving its lo
cation.
All efforts of the cutter proved fu-1
tile and after struggling her way out
of the ice she headed for Nome with
the expectation that the five members
of the crew of the Silver Wave would
be 'safe and that when the channel
freezes they would be able to mush
ashore.
It was stated that the little trad
ing ship carried plenty of provision
and a full loa dof fuel oil. The ice
floe had a general westward drift
of about one knot an hour and was
taking the Silver Wave out into the
Arctic Ocean proper.

days happened over to his cabin and
found him laying in bed, partially un
covered and with a cloth over his
forehead.
The supposition is that the cloth
was put on by him not knowing the
seriousness of his condition. Those
parts of his body that were uncover
ed were froze, he having been in the
cabin for several days with cold
weather prevailing. That he was not
despondent for want of anything was
obvious by the food supplies and the
large amount of wood and coal in
his cabin.
A coroner’s jury presiding at an
inquest over the deceased pronounc
ed death was due to acute opoplexy.
HYPNOTIZES BROWN BEAR
Paul Heinrich, who arrived recent
ly from Ophir in Fairbanks, had what
he calls a “funny experience” with
a brown bear, which happened in the
latter part of August, half way be
tween Cripple creek and Cripple
town.

side trail between the points mention
ed, with a 40-pound pack on his
shoulders and without a gun, he sud
denly espied Mr. Brownie, about
twenty feet below him, wtih eyes
glaring upwards. The bear lost
no time in getting up the hill, and
tap- less time in getting his ivories
over one of Paul’s knees, Which
the bear held for some seconds
with a viselike grip. It was while
in this posture that the eyes of
bear became fixed on the eyes of
Paul. This gazing of man and
beast continued for some seconds.
Tl\en came a gradual easing up on
Mr. Heinrich’s knees, until finally
the beast relinguished his hold en
tirely, gave a studied parting look,
and then wended his way to other
parts.
Wnether Mr. Heinrich possesses
hypnotic powers over aniniuls is
not known, but he apparently cast
some sort of spell over his crea
ture. He says the scene would
have made a fine moving picture
film; ho, however, has no desire
to again play a part in such a j
scene.
