HAPPENINGS IN
Cordova, March /
The steamers Northwestern and
Yukon will sail from Seattle tonight.
The former is due at Cordova on
Tuesday evening next and the Yukon
a day or two later.
An aditional force of men were
sent out to Mile 32 this morning, in
the hope that the subsiding wind
would permit them to get the train
free from snow so that she could be
brought into town today. But as
yet they have not been able to accom
plish much, although there is hope
that they may bring the train in late
tonight. No train will leave for
Chitina in the morning, although one
may get out later in the day or Sat
urday morning.
A new restaurant is about to be
opened in the building across the
street from the Horseshoe. The
man who is responsible for the ven
ture is Fred Sehrengcr.
The steamer Northwestern stJied
last night at nine o’clock for South*
western Alaska. She had a banner
list of passengers. Those for Cor
dova are Mrs. W. W. Council, R. J.
Williams, Thomas Davies and.wife,
Mrs H. D. Foster, Harry Lane, J. W.
Stewart, G. W. Bowman and wife,
Mrs. M. O’Bryan, William Williams,
R. R. Sparen, Charlotte Hawkes, Mrs.
G. Wells, J. M. Partridge, and a
large party in charge of A. C. Bald
win, who are employed on the
Alaska boundary survey, and are go
ing into the White river country.
The steamer Yukon sailed north
last night. She had a good cargo of
freight and many passengers for the
westward. E. A. Harriman is book
ed for Cordova, while L. P. Leeper
and B. H. Dunham are going to Ka
talla.
There is very little improvement in
the weather conditions today out the
line. A strong wind continues to
blow at Mile 32. A large force of
men, however are taking turns in
trying to free the engine and train
from the drifting snow. Under the
circumstances slow progress is being
made, as much of it is being blown
back. Superintendent Corser, how
ever, is hopeful that he can get the
stalled train into Cordova tomorrow.
In that event a train will leave here
for Chitina on Sunday.
It was not, as one of those present*
at the Red Dragon last night com
mented, “a very noisy game.” How
ever, those who were there saw active
service and of excitement plenty.
Considerable enthusiasm is expressed
among the dozen chess-players here
in town, over the prospect of always
finding an antagonist ready for battle
at the club house on any Tuesday
evening.
The freighter Cordova reached
port last evening and today a crew is
busy discharging 950 tons of coal,
60 tons of wooden pipe for Jack
Dalton, and 162,000 feet of lumber.
Of the latter 62,000 feet is consigned
to the Arctic Lumber Company and
will be shipped out to McCarthy for
the Mother Lide Mines Company. It
is to be used in the erection of re
ceivng and discharging ore bins, in
connection with a tram that will be
built this Spring. The balance of
the lumber is for the Kennecott
Mines Company, for improvements
they are making at the Bonanza
mine.
A large force of men are at work
clearing the snow from the engine
and train at Mile 32. It is a most
dfficult task by reason of the high
winds that prevail and send so much
of it back. However it now seemB
probable that the train will get in
tomorrow morning early or at least
sometime during the day. A train
for Chitlna may leave Sunday after
noon earlyf or if not then on Monday
morning about six o’clock.
General Manager Geo. C. Hazelet,
of the Cordova Power Company, made
an inspection of the company's line
uuu ii wvv> uatu ivua/i »»v ••
him John A. Hazelet, Henry Watkins
and Postmaster Steel.
The Daily Alaskan office will be
moved on Saturday and Monday next
to the Otrander building, adjoining
cur present location. The daily will
be issued as usual, but It is not likely
that we will be able to turn out any
jcb printing from Friday until Tues
day. Orders for any work required
during the ensuing week should be
filed at once.
G. H. Birch left on the morning
train for Blackburn, where he will
direct the hauling of 100 tons of
freight to'his property on Dan creek.
Very pleasing services were held
Easter Sunday in our various church
es. In the morning at the Catholic
church the singing was particularly
good. At the Presbyterian church
Mrs. Sheldon sang both morning and
evening. Miss Scott delighted the
large audience at the Episcopal mis.
sion in the morning, by rendering
"Oh, Eyes that are Weary.”
The steamer Northwestern that
sailed from Seattle on Thursday night
last was due to arrive at Juneau last
night or this morning. Up to the
time of going to press no word has
been received from Juneau so that
the time of her arrival is uncertain.
However she should reach here to
>
morrow night or Wednesday morn
ing.
Judge Paul d’Heirry, who was re
cently appointed U. S. Commissioner
of the Chitina precinct with addition
al jurisdiction over McCarthy’s and
Copper Centre, left on the morning
train for Chitina, where he will at
cnce take charge of the office, the re
moval of Judge Nickells having taken
effect March 20th. As Judge d’Heirry
is an attorney-at-law it is expected
that hereafter the Judicial affairs of
the interior towns will be conducted
with some regard to justice.
Geo. C. Hazelet, who is agent for
the Chitina townsite, went to the in
terior metropolis on this morning’s
train and will remain there until the
end of the week.
Superintendent Corser went out
over the line today, in his private car.
Chitina had another hotel opening
ot Saturday. Mrs. Jack Palmer has
aken charge of the Commercial hotel’
formerly the Log Cabin, and has fit.
ted it up in comfortable style and is
now ready to take good care of the
traveling public.
Yesterday morning a break in the
government cable was reported aa
having occurred between Sitka and
Seattle. As a consequence it ia
necessary to get our news from the
Eastern states via Ashcroft and Eg
bert, at three times the cost of the
usual way. The cable repair ship
Eurnside is now at the drydock at
Bremerton, having new boilers put in
and other necessary repairs made.
It is possible that she is In such con
dition that she cannot be sent out to
pick up and splice the broken ends
of the cable. If the break should be
near Seattle it ia possible that an
arrangement with some other ship
cculd be made that would soon per
mit of the necessary repairs.
The tra'n reached ChiUna last
evening at 8:10 o’clock, having ex
perienced no difficulty in getting
through. At Chitina Manager Rock
efellow of the Orr stage line had four
horses and teams in readiness and at
nine o’clock last night he had 5,000
pounds of mail loaded and made the
start on the haul to Fairbanks.
From Nov. 24 th last until March 21
the mail contract provided that 1,600
pounds be sent through three times a
week from Cordova.
From now until May 31st 800
pounds twice a week will be Bent.
As a result the trains will only run
from Cordova on Mondays and
Thursday, returning from Chitica
the following days.
The steamer Northwestern was at
Juneau all day yesterday and sailed
for the westward at eleven o’clock at
night. Under ordinary conditions
she should arrive at Cordova tomor
row afternoon at two o’clock.
Stormy weather, however, may de
lay her.
Tomorrow moco'-g Schrlnger’s
restaurant will be open to the public.
