WINTER SUPPLIES ARE
REPORTED SHY ANCHORAGE

Conflicting reports were brought in
from Anchorage on the last boat as
to conditions there for The coming
winter in regard to supplies.
Travelling men who have just COM
pleted circuit of the stores there and
are now in Seward state that if the
people now in Anchorage stay there
during the winter there are not enough
supplies on hand to last during the
time Cook Inlet is closed by ice.
This statement is made in reference to
the town of Anchorage itself, and not
to the engineering commission camps,
which have supplies ordered by the
government which are supposed to be
more than ample.
Charles Brown of Brown and Haw-
kins, says that in his opinion about
1000 people will remain in Anchorage
for the winter and that there are suffi.
cient groceries and supplies on hand
in the various stores there to support
that number.
The last steamers will reach Anch.
orage in November, probably about
November Is. 1t is probable that
small boats will attempt to make the
inlet even later, but past experience
shows that these are liable to be
caught in the ice any time after that

GUT TING LUMBER
FOR RAILROAD
At PORTAGE

John Enlund, who has the contract
for cutting 100000 feet of lumber
for the Alaska Engineering Commits
sion, reports that he has completed a
sawmill and other buildings at Port.
age Bay and that approximately 300, 600
feet of lumber has been cut The mill
building is SO feet wide and 1913 feet
long, covered with sheet iron and sup
piled with water power of force suf.
ficient to throw stream Of water
seventy feet high. The mill has a
capacity Of 10000 feet daily.
The building which is being used
as living rooms for the men, and in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Enlund have pri.
vate quarters is IS feet wide and los
feet long.
The mill is located on a bay on
the south side of Portage bay about
six miles from the tract reserved by
the government at the head of Port
age Bay. The small bay is about one
and one-half miles long and affords
shelter from all wind storms. The
shores of the bay are heavily covered
with splendid sawmill timber and
Mr.. Enlund reports that all the logs
used in cutting the 100000 feet OF
lumber were towed to the mill by
row boats, the services of the launch
not being required. He believes that
the mill, located on deep water where
any steamer can land, and in the
midst of heavy timber sufficient to
keep the mill busy for several years
can cut and deliver lumber at any OF
the Alaskan coast towns at a price
which will compete with lumber
brought from the outside.
Col. Stevenson of Seattle, and X s..
Johnson, formerly of Fairbanks, are
associated with Mr.. Enlund in the en-.
terprise.

Capt. Tom Moore, Of the freighter
Cordova, which was in port Saturday
night, having come direct from Nome,
reports that several big placer strikes
have been made on Seward peninsula,
which have resulted in creating STAN
pedes to the new finds.
The latsest find is on Norton boy,
below Goloyin. A large body Of rich
nav dirt has been struck on Dime
creek and the discoveries are taking
out good money. Practically all OF
the ground in that neighborhood has
been staked during the past few weeks
In the original delta Of the Solomon
river, about thirty.fve miles from the
famous beach at Nome, another third
beach has been discovered, where the
gold deposit is nearly 275 feet wide
carrying pay five feet deep.
Mining is active throughout Seward
peninsula, according to Capt. Moore
He reports that the Fairhaven Mining

WHAT IS DOING
Of INTEREST
ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Oct. catholic SER
vices were held in the Empress block
on Sunday last, Rev. Father Sheperd
officiating. AS no melton was made
that the meeting would be held, not
as many attended as would have had
it been known that services would be
held. However, goodly number
were present. Until the completion of
the new Catholic church, which is
now under course Of construction,
services will be held in the Empress
block, unless otherwise provided for.
Great was the excitement on the
streets of Anchorage Thursday even
ing, when the first automobile made
its appearance. 1t is owned by Capt.
Larry Byrne, and sails under the col
ors of the REQ. 1t is one of the late
models and has the earmarks of all
that is modern in the way of an auto
mobile.
The Anchorage Woman's Club was
formally organized at a meeting held
for the purpose Thursday afternoon
in the government hall building. OFF,
GERS chosen for the ensuing term are:
President, Mrs. Mears; vice-president,
Mrs. l.. F. Shaw; corresponding secre.
tary, Mrs. Tubby; recording secretary,
Mrs. G. L. Jackson; treasurer, Mrs. P.
J. Mcdonald. Various committees
were named.
Capt. Ed. Swift, of the government
packet Chulitna, arriving from Indian
river reported that black bears are so
plentiful and bold in the upper Susit-
ma valley that engineers engaged in
locating the line of the government
railroad have been compelled to de-
tail men to watch the caches of sup
plies, several Of which were broken
into and robbed by the animals.
The boats making the small ports
on Turnagain Arm report very severe
weather on the arm during the past
ten days. Many of them have found
that there is much truth in the name
given the arm by the famous Captain
Cook-Turn-again.
One of the highest tides of the year
was recorded Thursday evening, and
this means that it was one of the high.
est tides in the world. The tide at
this point will average approximately
40 feet. The highest tide in the world
is that in the Bay of Fundy, with an
average of 81 feet.
Miss Grace Gaines, who has been
spending the summer with her cousin.
DR.. Barnes, of the Heron Dredging
Company at Sunrise, was visitor in
Anchorage this week. Miss Gaines
home is in Chicago, to which place
she will return very shortly.
George Krizan died last week in
the hospital from the effects of in
juries received at Peters creek. The
accident was due to tree falling on
him while he was engaged in cutting
ties. He was rushed to the govern
ment hospital, where every attention
was given him by Doctors Reedy and
stoughton, ibut the injuries proved
too severe, and death resulted shortly
after his arrival. He was born at
Dalmacya, Austrtria.

OUR SCHOOLS ARE
MODEL FOR STATE
Government Placed them on Ex-
hibition at Worlds Fair at
San Francisco, Cal.

When the national government at
Washington sought out model schools
last spring for exhibition purposes at
the worlds fair at San Francis only
eleven schools in the United States
were acceptable. Alberta has one of
them and it is the only school from
Minnesota which was accepted. Our
consolidated school has attained a
prominence that is nationwide and
is not only the pride of Alberta but
of Stevens county as we'll.
Six teachers are employed under
the Objection of Prof. Fred Grafelman
who has developed the ideas of what
a consolidated school should be. A
handsome new building was finished
two years ago and it is equipped with
all the facilities for thorough instruc-
tion in the numerous branches taught
which includes agriculture, manual
training and the sciences. Heated
school buses make the rounds morning
and evening to gather and distribute
the children. Pupils in this school
last year entered the corn competi-
tion among pioneers of the county and
captured first prize. The corn was
afterwards exhibited at the West
Central Minnesota corn and alfalfa
exposition at Benson where it carried
of another prize. The Great North
ern Railway requisitioned the corn
and placed it on exhibition at the
worlds fair. Girls from this school
won first prize at the county 3 fair

competition at the state fair at Min.
