 Mere To Meet Family

Mr. c. Hoover of Uniontown, Pa, srived on the Yukon to meet Mrs. Hoover and his son, the latter being at present on hunting trip, with MT. Sterling on lower Kenai. The party will return to Seward about Oc- tober 1, and take the first boat out to the States. Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Sterling have been guests at the Van Glider the past six weeks.
 MT. Hoover has made several hunt ing trips to Alaska, and has but re- gently returned from a trip to Afri- ca, where he secured many fine tro- phies. He states that Africa is a hunters paradise large game being very abundant It has it's drawbacks, however, the heat being so intense that from 10 a. m. until D. m. it is dangerous for a newcomer to go out doors exposed to the suns rays. The custom is to wear a pad from the back of your neck to the knees to protect the spinal column. The last trip MT. Hoover made to Alaska he made to the far westward in search of bears.
 Eaa and his son will make another trip to Africa next year.

Seldouia Philosopher
 Aliue With Optimism,

Dr. J. J. Jensen, Seldovia physician, lawyer and chief optomist of the her ring camp to the westward, arrived l in Seward on Wednesdays train en route home after spending about month in Valdez and Anchorage. Dr. Jensen reports much activity in the thriving town to the westward and looks for a considerable population before this time next year. Accord ing to MT. Jensen, the four herring galleries will add couple of hund- red to the population and other in- dustries are looking toward Seldovia with 1iew of sharing the prsper- ity accruing to cannerymen and sal teries.
 Seldovia is ideally located as a cen ter for the herring industry, having one of the best protected harbors on the Inlet, and in the immediate vic inity of the port are large halibut banks, where fares are being taken for Ketchikan, Sitka and Seward plants.
 Dr. Jensen states that many home steaders are engaged in fox farming, the additional revenue bringing oth- CTS into the business. Fox farming around Seldovia is past the expert ment stage, the climate and proxi- mity to feed making for fine fur. Sill yer blacks and blues do we'll there, and some of the largest farms in the Territory are on the adjacent islands and in pens on the mainland.
 Dr. Jensen is versatile man. Be side administering to physical better ments of the community, he also prac- tices law, breaches sermons for the dead, and helps alleviate conditions of living. His optimistic spirit has never been daunted by the vicissi- tudes of pioneering and he declares that Seldovia is the garden spot of Alaska, with coal, timber, game, fish and furs right at the door. He will leave on the next boat for the west ward.

Lotta Crabtree Dead,
 Began Career on the
 Pacific Coast In 1853
DANCED AND SANG HER WAY INTO HEARTS OF MINERS
 OF GOLDEN WEST

BOSTON, Sept. 28-Lotta Crabtree famous actress and comedienne, diec here today at the age of IT years She was one of the famous acresses ot several generations ago.
 Starred as "Lotta", Charlotte Mig non Crabtree sang, danced and play, es herself into the hearts of theatre goers of a generation ago all over the United States, and in 1891 retired at the height of her success, with g fortune estimated at above two mil lion dollars. She was then known as the richest individual in stage life.
 Over the bookshop which her fath- CT, John Ashworth Crabtree, kept or Broadway, New York, the little com edienne was born November 7, 1847 The bookseller was one of those who followed the gold rush to California taking his family with him, and it was on the Pacific coast that Lotta scored her first childish triumphs. She made her debut as an actress when only six years old at Petaluma,. Calf. when she played Gertrude in "The Loan of Lover"
 At the head of her company, at the age of seven, La Petite Lotta,' 7 played one-night stands throughout the mining region, and in those days scored her biggest night at rough Nevada camp where, after rather hostile reception, she finally won the hearts of the miners and they pitched bags of gold dust and nuggets at her feet.
 Lotta's mother, Mary Ann Crabtree, was in those days, and throughout the commediene's stage career her con- stant companion, exercising so strict a chaperonage that it was said all suitors were frightened away; and she also acted as treasurer for the Crab tree fortune which began with the miners gold dust. Roughing it from camp to camp, Lotta became the pet of all, and finally drifted east to try her luck in New York. There, at first, she was failure. She was first seen there in old Niblo's garden, but she made such an unfavorable im- pression on this first occasion that she returned west for time. Tn Chicago she found better fortune mak- ing such hit in s'The Seven Sisters" !" that an enthusiastic admirer at Nc Vicker's Theatre one night threw to her, neatly done up in handkerchief

MORE CASES INFANTILE
 PARALYSIS REPORTED

SEATTLE, Sept. 24.-Twenty cases of infantile paralysis or anterior pol iolyelitis have been reported in this state for August and 10 cases for the first week in September, according to Dr. Paul A. Turner, director of the State Department of Health.
 While infantile paralysis is usually more prevalent during August and September, there has been a decided increase in the number of cases which have developed during the last few weeks. Dr. Turner declared. Children who have fever which cannot be reasonably explained should be isolated from all other people until the case has been diag- nosed.
 The disease, which is infectious, may be easily spread through mild cases which have not been detected. Infantile paralysis is transmitted di- rectly and indirectly from person to person and consequently any sus- picious cases should be isolated to prevent the spread of the disease.
 In mild cases of the disease there is no paralysis especially at the be- ginning and, except for fever and a slight indisposition which cannot be explained, there may not be any other symptoms, Dr. Turner ex- plains.
 The Department of Health should be notified of all cases and of all suspicious cases as this is a com municable disease and reportable as such
