Ed Quinn Drops Dead
 From Heart Disease

The body of Ed Quinn was found at o'clock Sunday morning at the foot of the outside stairway at the rear of the Spath building.
 A coroner's jury in the U. S. Com missioner's office the following morning, after hearing the testi- mony of Dr. J. H. Clements and other witnesses, rendered the yer dict that death was due to heart disease Quinn was without hat or coat when found, but it was not as- certained where he had been since leaving the New Deal beer dispen- sary about 10 o'clock Saturday night and o'clock the next morning, the time which Dr. Clements believes he dropped dead, nor why he had started up the stairway.
 Friends of Ed, determined that he should not be buried as an indigent, took up a collection to which many persons gladly contributed and fun eral services were held Wednesday afternoon in Redmen's hall. A nice casket was provided and many floral pieces were sent by friends.
 Arnold Krone, in charge of ser vices at St. Philips, read the beau tiful ritual of the Episcopal church and gave brief but impressive ser mon. The choir, composed of Mrs. J. c. Johnson, Mrs. c. Wies, Fred Wigg and MT. Krone, sang two hymns. Mrs. B. Y. Grant played the piano accompaniment.
 The pallbearers were Thomas Michaelson, Chris Steve, Warren Todd, George Case, Brando Rossini and H. Hansen.
 The hall was well filled with friends, who will never forget hap py-go-lucky, kind hearted Ed Quinn.
 Nothing was found in his belong ings to give any clue to relatives in the states. He had told friends he was born in Humboldt County, Iowa 63 years ago. and it was understood that his relatives still lived there, but telegrams of inquiry to the au- thorities brought the reply that there was no one by the name of Quinn in Humboldt county.
 His cabin near the Standard Oil Station will be sold to the highest bidder through the Commissioners office.

After an absence of 36 years Cap tain James Ward returned to Wran- gell this week, accompanied by his youngest son Edward, to spend the summer here.
 Born in Portland, Oregon, of pion- eer parents who crossed the plains in 1855, he has spent an eyentful life on the Pacific Ocean rim, his farthest incursion into the interior of the United States having been one trip to Walla Walla, Wash.
 As a boy he signed O mas deck hand on the old steamship Idaho plying between Seattle and Sitka with stops at Wrangell and Juneau. Ordinarily, the round trip required about a month as navigation had to be a cautious procedure. The wa ters were not chartered, he says, and the old Russian charts would quickly put boat on the rocks ii the captain trusted to them, alone.
 Trading Post
 Wrangell was a little trading post, without docks or side walks. Steamers coming into the harbor, however, would scarcely get their anchors over, before they were sur rounded by Indians in dugout can oes and even the big war canoes. Freight was brought ashore in these canoes and the ships boats.
 Juneau, he recalls, consisted of a few tents on the beach in 1882 and Sitka was the important town in Alaska. The boats came north load ed with freight but took very little back. First class passage from Se- attle to Sitka cost $125 and was not so good as present-day steerage.
 In 1886, Captain Ward, who had worked up to quartermaster, left the Idaho and signed on the Ala meda which that year started run ming from San Francisco to Mel bourne, Sydney and other Australia ports, For two years his run took him to the Orient and down un- der," then he returned to Juneau where he bought the schooner Annie and engaged in coastwise trade for several years.
