NJ Mikkelson, who met with an
accident, breaking mis- leg in a snow
slide on December %, 1914, cross
| ing Baldorf Creek near Horsfelt, 40
miles from Chisana, was an arrival
on today's train. He is enroute to
Seattle to have the leg reset and

to Mccarthy by Geo. Goshaw's dog
team in 5 hours.

above the knee and was set by DR..
| Montgomery. DR.. Bunch at Nc

Unless delayed by storms at sea
the steamer Northwestern will arrive
lat Gordova tomorrow morning at G
or O'Clock. She will remain here
unloading freight until about noon,
before proceeding to Valdez.
For some little time past the
weather in the interior has been
quite mild. AS a result the trails
have been rapidly breaking up. This
has greatly interfered with the mov-
ing of supplies for the. coming sea-
son, particularly in the Nizina coun-
try. But a more favorable condition
now exists as the cold weather for
three or four nights has had the
effect of again hardening the trails,
so that freight can be moved. The
breakup this year is coming much
earlier than usual!
This morning there was strong
wind blowing and the waters of the
! bay We're ruffled somewhat, with
white caps rolling in from the ocean.
The little craft that were tied up
at the several docks became agitated
and rolled about at lively rate.
| Several had narrow escapes from
being washed out to sea. The Nina
Diamond that was tied at the inner
dock near the cable office got caught
in the trenches and the waves 50
! overcame her that she sank before
relief could be given. This boat
was part of the equipment OF the
wireless station at Whitshed.
! The mother Of Attorney r. E
| CaDers, who has been spending the
winter in Cordova, will leave for
California on the steamer North
western, southbound on Friday. She
is the president of the Woman'f
Church Workers. and the. members
pl oppose that she shall have reason &c
know that her efforts on behalf OF
the church have not been unappre
ciated. Arrangements have beer
made to tender Mrs. Capers a fare
we'll at the Presbyterian manse to-
night, which will be attended by g
large number of our townspeople.
Fred Schringer and Billy Boswell
started out early this morning fol
Hinchinbrook Island, but owing tt
the high sea running had to put into
shelter and are now waiting for the
wind to subside. This has been &
rretty rough day for small boats or
| he sound.
