BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
 PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
 PRESS OF ALASKA x

A gray wolf measuring more than six feet in length, was
 caught close to the town of
 Healy, recently, and it is re- ported that the animals are quite numerous in that section of the rail belt.
 c. A. Soper, of Wasilla, has the distinction of having caught nine wolves in that dis trict during the winter. Manuel Rodezue, a Spaniard, aged about 35 years, was killed recently when he fell down an oreway at the Alaska Juneau mine. He was unmarried and had been employed at the mine for about four years.
 Mike Rocki, one of the origin al stakers of Canes Creek, more than a score of years ago, returned to that section re, gently after an absence of four or five years, spent in the Fair banks and Koyukuk districts. 
 Charles H. Swanson died at the Pioneer Home, in Sitka, March 2. He was over 73 years old, and had resided in Alaska since 1901, making his head quarters, most of the time, at Ketchikan, where his two sons and two daughters reside.
 The residence of pilot A. A. Bennett, of Fairbanks, was wrecked by fire several days ago, causing damage estimated at $6,0O0, including the loss of personal effects valued at $3,- 900. About half of the loss was covered by insurance.
 One hundred tons of drilling equipment, including material for a complete new standard | rig, has been shipped north by Capt. Ivan Peterson, for use in connection with his oil drilling | operations in the Chickaloon ] field.

The Thomas Bay glacier is
 reported to be shooting ice
 bergs from under water at the
 head of that bay. The glacier comes out in the valley at the
 head of the bay, but there is a mile or more of sand flats be- tween the water and the glac- fer edge. It is believed the glac- fer reaches down to consider able depth, and as the under ground glacier reaches a jump ing-off place in the bay, it is presumed that the force and weight behind it and the salt water action in front forces the ice to break. It is said to be a great sight to see great bergs of ice shoot up out of the wat CT, shake themselves and settle back to normal floating con- ditions. The bay is said to be literally covered with icebergs which have no way of getting out of the harbor. The water is also highly discolored with glacial sand and mud. This is the third time inthirteen years that this glacier has been cut ting up as reported.

 years, for many years a resi-
 dent of Fairbanks, Iditarod,

A pair of caribou horns have been received by the curator of the Alaska Museum, from Fred H. Gray of Wrangell. In a letter, MT. Gray said the horns had been found protrud- ing from the ice in a glacier that has been receding during the last few years. The discov- erer said that when he chopped through the ice he discovered the entire caribou in a perfect state of preservation. After be- ing brought out into the air, however, the animal soon dis integrated so that only the horns were saved.

FREDERICK, Md, August 27-While
contractors are rushing the installation
of a three-mile relief main, connecting
the city system with the Tuscarora
Creek watersheds, Frederick, facing the
most serious shortage in years, has
been put on water rations by Mayor
Lloyd G. Cutler. All watreing of gar
dens and lawns has been barred and

the municipal watersheds at Fishing
Greek provide. The daily consumption
in Frederick is about 2,500,000 gallons.
At Fishing Greek, where there is a Co.
100000 impounding reservoir. it is es-
timated that about 100000 gallons
flow into the reservoir per day. In the
last two weeks the water line at the
Fishing Creek reservoir has dropped
4l2 feet, leaving about $4,000, 900 gal
Ions of water. ...-.
Several months ago the city author
lied the installation of q relief water
main from Frederick to the Tuscarora
Creek sheds, a distance of about three
miles It was estimated that the new
main would bring a much increased
volume Of water to the city in time Of
drought. About 1000 feet Of pipe was
laid last week.

upon the natural beauties of the sites

on those subjects we'll listen; otherwise
not!
