DIAMOND K PREPARES FOR SALMON PACK
CANNERY WILL DISPENSE WITH FILIPINO CREW AND USE L0- CAL LABOR AS FAR AS POSSE BILE IN GETTING UP SALMON PACK.

H. Kittlesby, superintendent of the Diamond B eannery. arrived from Juneau Tuesday on the can nery tender Marguerite. The can nery will operate but four traps this year, the Quiet Harbor trap having been closed by Henry OMalley, U. s.

 General preparatory work is al ready under way and when the season opens everything will be in readiness to begin packing at the cannery.

Diven Leaves PaStOrate To Regain Health
DR. OWEN, BELOVED WRANGELL MINISTER, WILL LEAVE EVER GLADES SOON TO RESIDE UP STATE IN FLORIDA UNTIL HE COMPLETELY REGAINS HIS HEALTH.

Word from Dr. Diven, for a num- Der of years beloved pastor of the Presbyterian church in Wmngell, states that he and Mrs. Diven will leave Everglades during the coming week to reside upstate for a time.
 The change south was made late last summer for the benefit of Dr Diven's health. He has not yet attained complete restoration of health although he states fine pro gress has been made toward that end Parish work at Everglades has developed beyond his present strength and all lines of effort that require nervous energy have been set aside until a little later. An old friend has offered Dr. and Mrs. Diven the use of cottage in the edge Of his very pretty orange grove up in the lake and hill country, a very beautiful section of Florida. So for a time their address will be Lake Mary, Florida.
 Regarding Everglades Dr. Diven says:
 Tt is a region one must visit and get acquainted with if one would understand it; it has charms all its own; it has commercial pos abilities vastly surpassing all early estimates; it has a climate that differs from anything else l have ever sampled; its binds, animals, and fish are an endless source of interest to all who care to get ac- quainted with such things; and it's people, having come from nearly everywhere, are genial and happy, ever ready to up and at it again whenever something soatters their Iplans. Indeed, so much of the same spirit prevails here that we were accustomed to in the Northland, that we have felt at home from the very day of our arrival. No, we have seen no storms; but one played around out over the Gulf of Mex ico, some weeks ago, and the Gulf seemed a bit disturbed by the com motion and tried to come ashore to get steadied up bit. There was no damage done, but it looked odd to see the water rise in the streets to a depth of a few inches, then go back as quietly as it had come"

SELDOVIA SCHOOL BOY
 SELLS ALASKA STORY

The following item in the Sel- dovia Herald refers to the pub fishers young son:
 "As one more proof that English as it is taught in Alaskan schools brings results listen to the latest from Jim Busey, now in Seward finishing his freshman year of High"
 After a years schooling in Ket- chikan, Jim spent two years in Sel- dovia, thence to Anchorage for the first year of high.
 While in Anchorage Jim wrote a short story and sent it in to the Meccano Magazine. published in Liverpool, England, thereby landing a check along with letter of con- gnatulation from the editor. and the information that his story would appear in an early issue of the magazine.
 Now since the Meccano Magazine is some magazine, with a big circu- lation. the check though small is not to be sneered at too much. At least Jim didn't think 30, as the story was written by him alone, a short one that he figured brought him about a cent and a half word.
 No doubt the theme of the story partly explains his success, for 1t was entitled My Impressions of Alaska" and Jim is certainly a loyal Alaskan, as proven by the content of his story. The yarn is full of allusions to Seldovia, the chief topic of his rawlings"

 The second of the three Sean dinayians is our blond, slightly embarrassed and popular Dorothy Johnson. Her Alaskan home has furnished toastmasters and camp us punsters with much material, although she wasn't born there. Her birthplace was in Sultan, Washington, which is very. very close to Seattle. She has taken the boat trip to Alaska so many times she has lost count, but gets lonesome for the sea every few days. She refused to tell us a whole lot about herself, except that she was secretary of the stu dent body of the Wrangell High School and taught Sunday school for years. She wrote a number of highly successful short stories when she was yet in the grades, and had composed a sheet of mu- sic at the tender age of g. She always wanted to be a detective for what reason she says she doesn't exactly know, but that she now has a secret ambition to be n secretary to a diplomat She likes to spend evenings talking about things and has a weakness for sitting through Will Rogers pictures several times. She re- fuses to be very much excited over the election, knows that it will be a lot of work, and is al- ready planning how to do two big jobs at once. She hasn't many H. lusions about herself, likes to get a lot of people around her and set them to work, and is in the habit of succeeding remarkably we'll in +her projects. She confesses she will enjoy running all-college dances, and can hardly wait un- til the executive committee be- gins it's meetings so that she can find out what goes on.
