CAPTAIN MOORE QUITS
(Cordova Times)

Captain Tommy Moore, in command of the steamer Cordova, and one of the best known navigators in the north, has rendered his resignation to the Alaska Steamship Company, to take effect immediately upon the return of that vessel to Seattle Captain Moore has been navigating Alaskan waters for the past nineteen years, and for fifteen years has been in the employ of the Alaska s. s. Co. He will here after be in command of the new steam CT Redwood, which was launched two weeks ago. This boat is about the same size as the one he is now com manding, and is owned by the Pacific American Fisheries, which operates four canneries in Alaska and several in Washington state, having the larg- lest cannery in the world at Bellingham
 Captain Moore will be greatly mis- the distinction of having resuced many wrecked vessels and crews. Twice he went to the assistance of the Dirigo, towing her to Seattle at one time and taking off her passengers when she sunk When the Tahoma was wreck ed he rescued fifty-eight people, who had spent five days and five nights in an open boat The officers and crew of that government boat felt so grate- full to Captain Moore that they pre- sented him with a gold watch and chain and a silver service set. When the Seward was disabled he lowed her to Cordova, and when the Watson struck reef conveyed her to this port.

The rooms of Miss Field, Miss Derrick, and Miss Smith were so close that a single days absence more or less would have re- versed the order of their percentages.

It will thus be seen that the first graders won the honors for the month and are to be congratulated. The at tendance in Miss Buor's room was 94,S, and in Miss MitchelPs 94.2.
 For the first time this year the 4th grade won the spelling honors with a percentage of 94. 4. Seven in the grade had perfect papers which is a record for the year to date.
