REV. ). HOTOY|TSKY
 IMPROVES VILLAGE
RUSSIAN PRIEST BUILDS ONE OF MOST MODERN VILLAGES
 IN TERRITORY

Reverend D. Hotovitsky, Russian priest, we'll known throughout south western Alaska, came aboard the Starr at Belkofsky where he has been stationed for several years. Recently he purchased a large gasboat and has been actively engaged in fishing salmon, his catch finding ready sale at King Cove.
 Due to the efforts of Rev. Hotovitsky the little native village of Belkofsky, population about 100, has become one of the most modern in the Territory. All homes are equipped with electric lights, sanitary conditions are excel lent, and the town is we'll laid out and neatly painted. Under Hotovits- ky's guidance, the natives have pros pered, all of them having incomes of more then enough for every need.

 MT. Marquam departs for Fairbanks tomorrow where he has been invited to deliver an address during the Tan ana fair which began at Fairbanks to- day. From the Interior city he goes to Anchorage where he also received an invitation from the Southwestern Alaska Fair association to make an address next week, at which time the Anchorage fair opens. MT. Marquam has not yet decided just what itiner- ary will be, following his Anchorage visit but may take a brief run down Cook Inlet.
 Yesterday he was a guest at the Seward Chamber of Commerce lun- cheon and business meeting, which was held at Fishers cafe. There he gave the large gathering an interest ing account of his recent trip on the steamer Starr in which he pointed out many of the vital needs of those dis tricts and of the importance of local cooperation in furthering Westward

among which are the lack of adequate transportation facilities. This can not be provided at once. Its growth will be slow and only as demand re- quires but the first logical step in this direction is for the government to ex- tend as rapidly as possible the hydro graphic surveys to this section and to provide lights, lighthouses and other aids to render navigation of these wa ters reasonably safe both summer and winter
 Tt is difficult for the mind to grasp the tremendous coast line of Alaska. Figures may help to convey some idea of it's vast extent Measured by a three mile unit, Alaska's coast line extends a distance of 15,132 miles while, measured by the same unit, the coast line of the United States bor- dering on the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific extends dis tance of 12,S77 miles. That the gov ernment has not done it's full duty towards Alaska in the matter of coast line surveys, necessary to safe naviga- ton, is shown by the fact that while we have owned Alaska for 59 years there is only nine per cent of it's coast line surveyed while the coast line of the Philippines that we have owned for about 2S years has 64 per cent of its coast line surveyed. h. cluded in the 91 per cent of the un- surveyed coastline of Alaska is the southern and southwestern part. The coastline of Alaska is too vast for one lighthouse district. An additional lighthouse district should be created for southern and southwestern Alaska with headquarters at Seward or Ko- diak and lighthouse tender assigned to it. When adequate surveys, lights and other necessary aids to navigation are provided rendering the plying of these waters reasonably safe for life and property it will be step towards the ultimate settlement and develop ment of a section of the Territory of great potential wealth Seward, it seems to me, should take the lead in the agitation for the establishment of such a lighthouse district.
 "One of the infant but growing in dustries of Southwestern Alaska is fox farming.

and the judges found it hard task
to make impartial selections. One
costume that attracted particular
attention was one worn by Miss
Ruth LaramOre, as Uncle Sam. She
however refused to enter into the
competition for the prizes. Miss
Ruth Ward dressed as a bell hop,
made a striking appearance. Miss
Ada Richards was adjudged the
best male impersonator, with Miss
Elizabeth Kleet a very close sec
Ond. The judges decided to award
the best store window prize to Will
bur e. Jacobs, and stated that Mrs.
Joshua Smith was a close second,
and that Harry M. Black was given
third place. A young lady from
Seaford, Miss Mamie Richards, was
awarded the most fancy costume
prize. Miss Mabel Farrow, of Eel
ton, was selected by the judges as
having worn the most comical cos
tune. For the best female imper-
senator competition was keen be-
tween Charles Hopkins and Frank
Hoefiich, both of Harrington. The
judges made the award to the lat
ter named. Little Betty Williams,
aged three years, was awarded the
juvenile prize. The judges were:

MummerS' Parade Monday
Night Great Success.
Harrington's Halloween celebra-
ton, Monday evening, was one of
the most elaborate, and certainly
the most systematic. that has ever
taken place here. The Harrington
Chamber of Commerce, who had
charge of the affair, is being show
cred with praise for the efficient
manner in which the affair was
planned. 1t was gratifying to the
committee in charge to receive such
hearty cooperation especially from
the business men, who spent much
time trimming windows for the oc-
casion. 1t was a real undertaking
and demonstrated to those who are
not familiar with the work of the
Chamber of Commerce, that this
body is composed of hustling busi-
ness men who have the welfare of
the community at heart. Commerce
street, the main business thorough
fare, was roped off and occupied
exclusively by the mummers which
numbered several hundred. The
Harrington Band occupied the band
stand and played several lively Sc
lections. A number of Charleston
steppers did their stunts in the
band stand. A few minutes before
nine the band, all bedecked in paper
Halloween hats, paraded down to
the south end of the street and
headed the parade of mummers on
the return march. A crowd esti-
mated at 5000 lined both sides OF
the sidewalk along the line OF
march. The mummers were official
ly viewed by the judges previous tC
the parade, and were later Judged
from the band stand, where the
judges took up positions while the
parade passed in review. The win
ners of the cash prizes were an
nounced Immediately after the pa
rade ended and the judges had fin
ished with their decisions. In sew
eral cases competition was strona
