Death of Oscar w. Erdal

Oscar w. Erdal, surveyor of the AL aska Treadwell Gold Mining Company, died at the Simpson Hospital at Ju- neau yesterday afternoon.
 Some two months ago MT. Erdal met with an accident in the mine which was at first considered trivial, but from which complications arose which re- suited in his death. A small piece of rock fell, striking him on the head, and inficting a slight wound, which quick ly healed. However, a fracture of the skull. which was not at first discovered, caused an abscess on the brain. This, with other complications, proved more thaa medical science and skillful nurs- ing could combat, and death con- quered.
 A patient, loving wife, who has not left his bedside during all the long hours of suffering, and two little child ren left fatherless, have the tender sympathy of a community which shares their grief.
 But few months ago foot ball game was in progress on the little park in this city. Foremost and most active among the players was man dressed in miners clothes, taller and more erect than the others, flushed with the vigorous exercise, perfect picture of manly health and strength. The hand of that great destroyer, death, brings a change. terrible to contemplate. The cold and lifeless hands lay folded over the breast in which warm heart no longer throbs, and they who looked upon the former picture, cannot re- strain the thought, why is it so?
 Oscar w. Erdal was man gifted with a most active mind. He was an uutiring worker, jealous student, a faithful employee and spared no effort to gain all the knowledge within reach. pertaining to his calling. He came to Douglas Island two and half years ago, and took his place among the workers striving for natures hidden treasures. His home has been blessed by two little ones, yet too young to realize their loss. AS a citizen, neigh bor. friend his life was such as to com mand respect from all.

TREADWELL TOPICS.

Mrs. c. E. Bennett returned on the Jefferson from Seattle, where she has been visiting for several weeks.
 Mir. R. J. Willis was southbound passenger on the Cottage City last Fri day morning.
 Jack Wright, of the foundry, arrived on the last Jefferson, after spending several months on the Sound.
 The "minstrels" are practicing regu- larly and getting up the necessary enthusiasm for the big event. MT. Walter Kellogg is in charge of the en- tertainment, supported by large cast of first class performers.
 The Dirigo brought 200 tons of coal for Treadwell which came in handy to keep things going during the present cold spell. The waste lumber around the place is also utilized for fuel.
 If ice chunks were coal chunks, there'd be fuel to spare.
 The delayed arrival of the collier Rockingham still necessitates com plete shutdown at Treadwell, The steamer is nearly two weeks overdue.
 The Jeanie left the Sound early in the week with thousand tons of Nan aimo coal for Treadwell. She should arrive in five or six days.
 Every effort is being made to relieve the coal situation and there is good reason to believe that these efforts will produce the desired result very short ly. Beside the other coal steamers which are on their way to Treadwell, the steamer Montara is due to leave Seattle today with large cargo of coal for this place.
 No entertainment was given at the Firemen's meeting on account of the cold weather. At the next regular meeting of the Department the enter taiument will be given.
 A dance will be given at the Tread we'll Club next Monday evening. The music will be under the direction of Prof Fred Wasterlain.

Blanch Day Suicides

The following from the Seattle P.-L. will be of interest to Douglas people as the girl referred to at one time lived on the Island
 Astoria, ore., Jan. 8.-The inquest over the body of the Seattle girl who committed suicide at the Waldorf on Sunday night, will probably not be held until tomorrow, as Coroner Post is making a careful examination so as to have all the necessary witnesses present and her mother is expected to arrive from Seattle this evening.
 The Seattle police have received a telegram from Coroner Post, at Astoria, stating that Blanche Rogers, who com mitted suicide there, was known in Se- attle as Blanche Day. The coroner says he believes that the case was pure ly one of suicide, but will hold an in- quest. The Day girl has mother living on Dexter avenue, in Seattle, and the police were asked to notify her of the death. The police here know of no facts that would lead the Astoria off, cers to believe that foul play had been committed.

Mrs. John Henson returned last week from visit to the East, which visit the good lady has enjoyed hugely. She visited her birth place in New Brunswick and the great city of Bos- ton where part of her girlhood days were passed. Here she saw the great buildings, the libraries, statues of great men, and heard the great preachers. Mrs. Henson found that Alaskans are regarded as great curios in that cultur- ed city, where they are all dubbed "Klondikers."

The Alaska Steamship Company's steamer, the Dirigo, landed about 45 tons of coal on the Douglas dock last Sunday evening. This was divided around among the citizens, giving each about 800 pounds. Anxious house holders stood with their cash in their hands and a tear in their eye, waiting and ready to pay any old price for the precious stuff.

The Str. Jefferson came up last week from the Sound, burning oil. By the time she reached Skagway her officers realized that the fuel oil in her tanks was not sufficient to carry her back to Seattle, SO a cablegram brought the Dirigo with a fresh supply. Larger supply tanks will be put in and then the Jefferson will be prepared to show her heels to the coal burners.
