FROM KETCHIKAN
Death of John Douglas

All Ketchikan, if not all of south eastern Alaska has been called upon to mourn the lnt4mely death of one of Ketchikan s most respected citizens, MT. John Douglas. When the news reached this city 1t cast a profound gloom over his many friends here.
 Douglas and some friends were at work on a scow near the Sunny Point cannery about 25 miles west of here, when one of the men lost his footing and fell into the water. The man could not swim and Douglas immediately jumped in to rescue him. It IS thought by those who witnessed the accident that Douglas must have come up under the scow, and been stunned so that ne sank without a struggle He never came to the surface alive.
 Dragging for his body lasted several hours, but was finally rewarded, and the remains reached his home at Ket- chikan, under the care of sorrowlng friends. The funeral was held Sunday under the auspices of the local lodges of Odd Fellows and Red Men. MT. Douglas was a prominent member of both orders. He was not married, but he leaves host of friends along the Alaska coast who had learned to hon. or and respect him.
 Warehouse Collapses
 A very serious accident happened at the Ketchikan cannery this week. The store house containing about $500 cases of salmon suddenly collapsed and dumped everything into formless heap The building was on piling over some rocks in shallow water, the cat astrophe occurring at high tide. Of course the damage was considerable, but the management is of the opinion that large percentage of the salmon may be saved. At present large force of men are at work on the de- bris, sorting and saving all that can be used.
 Brevities
 Billy Seymour, the Weiss fish buyer, is busy man these days, closing up his work for the season.
 Cohos are running here now in small quantities and the boys are making good money hooking them from among the humpies in the creek.
 A large black bear was seen by one of Ketchikan's prominent citizens within a half mile of the village this week.
 Since the beginning of the year, it is reported on good authority, there have been over five hundred new and permanent arrivals in this city. It is almost impossible to find an empty house of any kind in Ketchikan.

Mr. Georoe Stann ycbo

Mr.. George Stapp, who lives or
Chelf's Ridge, is the brag stou,
man of this part of the state. His
f ats of strength are not surpassed
b any ordinary man. His sixtieth
birthday was last week and he has
never had his knuckles pulled into
the dirt, or met his equal. Thirty
years ago he outlifted the 722
pound lady that was in the circus
that came to Liberty. He has
carried horse ten steps to win a
wager, and he can easily carry his
100-pound wife 200 yards on his
extended hand. He is -boned
gentleman, weighs about 100 and
looks like an ordinary man physi-
cally, but those who know him
well, say his strength is wonder.

If you can think-and not make

If you can meet with Triumph and

Twisted by knaves to make a

Or watch the things you gave your

And stoop and build 'em up
with wornout tools;
Il YOU can make one heap of all

And risk it on one turn of pitcl

And lose and start again at youl

And never breathe word about
