 MT. and Mrs. H. Burkhart will be passengers for Seattle and Tacoma on the Humboldt tonight or tomorrow. Mir. B. goes to Tacoma on business connected with the transfer of the boiler and machinery to the Vigilant' S new hull, and his absence will be of short duration.
 Newt. Casperson, John Raber, Eli Copeland and Billy Forss left this morning early on hunting expedition to Tolstoi bay and Twelve Mile arm, in the gasolene launch belonging to the last named gentleman. They ex- pect to be gone two weeks, and at the end of that time to return with enough venison to supply the town for as long as its denizens may be content to fore go other meats, fresh, salt or canned.
 The Metz x Weiss p horse power kerosene and gas engine now on the Ketchikan Wharf company's wharf here is for Billy Neil, of Kasaan, formerly connected with the Tongass Trading Co.,, and is intended for a launch he is rebuilding. This launch, now the Iris, was originally the Mas cot, and is being enlarged to the ex- tent of thirteen feet in length, and when that work is completed will be brought over from Kasaan to receive the new and larger engine.
 Ed. Grothjan, the popular manipu- lator of steaks, roasts, joints, etc., at the Fry -Brohn Market, left this morn ing for a vacation of two months in the woods and mountains where he will hunt for game and prospect for minerals. His place in the market will in the meantime be filled by E. Junior who arrived on the Jefferson last evening.
 The white flyer, Jefferson, arrived north bound about five o'clock yester- day afternoon, twelve hours late on account of the almost impenetrable fog encountered on the way up. She landed about ten tons of freight, six days mail and the following passen- gers for Ketchikan: w. A. Pittenger, J. Sumpf, Bert Allen, T. P. Johan- sen, A. Swanson, E. M. Allen, J. Jun for, J. Irving, John Norman, P. McCaul, NJ. c. Anderson, c. F. Stev- ems, Thomas Young and c. Bradin.
 The pack of the Ketchikan Cannery 40, 900 cases-is all complete except the lacquering, labelling and boxing of the cans, which will keep few men busy for three or four weeks. Superintendent Rounsfell is kicking himself for not having made prepara- tions for larger pack, as he now finds he could easily made from six to eight thousand cases more, large part of them reds. He says he will not be caught in the same box next year, by which time he hopes to have double instead of single line cannery to operate.
