alive and having very easy time on
the boat After the ship was unload.
ed we did not have anything to do al
all SO the captain and | went out
hunting almost every day; got plenty
of ducks and snipe, but nothing more;
ut is very tiresome to walk around on
what they call tundra, up here, per-
son sinks to the knees every step
he takes.
"They have about 1000 cases put
up now; the fish have not been run
ming very good so far, and now they
have been coming in better the last
two days and think we will have a
good pack.
I'VE made our first trip out to
sea, today, about 10 miles from the
cannery, and are now laying at an
chor waiting for the fishermen to
catch the scow load and then we
will take it to the cannery and that
will be about all the running we do
in one day am writing while we
are at anchor out here and it is very
nice to get away from the cannery
after laying there so long

the river and spent the day; we took
a basket of lunch along, took in all

snow and ice together but we were
just getting ready when the launch
Success came after us and as the
tide was falling fast we had to go for
there is not enough water for the
launch when the tide is half out
"The strange thing up here, though,
is that it never gets dark; since
have been here person could read
a paper at midnight; it bothered me
so that | could not sleep for about
two weeks, but am getting used to
it now and can sleep most any old
time.
"The steamer Alarm is a fine little
boat; she is built something like the
Lottie, only not so large; has a fine
engine and outfit and is the fastest
boat up here, so you can bet | have
lots Of fun playing with them, in run
ming"

the requirements demanded by the |
post Office department such as num- |
bering their houses and fixing up the /
sidewalks and street crossings
Some of the people of this city !

ed the matter up and forgot it,
Mr.. Hofer then took the entire prop
ostion on his own shoulders with the
result that he has secured the free

the sleepiness of its residents.
The free delivery will mean a groat
deal in the way of convenience 10
the residents of the capital city OF
the state, especially will it prove so
during the winter months and all will
receive an equal benefit. e
Not only this but it means that the
force employed at the local postoffice

department who visited this city some
time ago.

Ill years after 4
