JOE GREEN

The birth record of Joe Green
shows that he just missed her
aiding a New Year for he was
born in Menlo, Iowa, on December
81, 1882. When very small boy
he went TO live with a brother in
Lake City There he received his
education and grew to manhood.
Fired with increasing wander
lust, the day came when Joe hop
ped aboard an immigrant car and
headed for Colorado to see what
that newly developed State had
to offer. He went to Cripple
Greek, to Victor, to Leadville,
working at varied jobs 1t was
during this time that he learn
cd the trade of cooking and his
services were always in demand
whenever his profession became
known. In Denver he formed
partnership with another man and
conducted a bicycle shop for one
year
In YMCA Work
From Denver he travelled to
Salt Lake City, became interested
in service work and was employ
ed by the YMCA for several years.
While there he first heard Of the
gold discoveries along the Yukon
and it was not long before
he rendered his resignation and
was on his way to the unknown
interior country of Alaska. Dis
from the steamer
Northwestern at Valdez, he strug-
gled over the old Richardson
Trail in March, 1907. Arriving in
Fairbanks, he engaged in mining
until he went into the
Hot Springs District in 1908 to
prospect and placer mine on
Sullivan Creek.
Gees To IditarOd
Then on to Innoka District and
the new strike at Iditarod, where
ha took very active part in the
life of those communities. In
Tditarcd he instigated and par
ticipated in the largest miners
meeting ever held in that District.
All business houses and saloons
were closed and determined min
ers packed the meeting house

PROCLAMATION

The Governor of Alaska has is
sued the following proclamation
The American Red Cross
which carried out so admirably
a tremendous job of service to
cur armed forces during the war,
now faces an equally challenging
task-that Of continuing the same
fine services to hospitalized veter-
ans and their families, occupation
troops abroad and home town
communities throughout the ma
ton
Here in Alaska, we know what
the Red Cross has done. We
have seen it in action in disaster
relief, in Army and Navy estab-
lishments, in Red Cross clubs and
in hospitals. Red Cross workers
and the services they offered have
been an important factor in boost
ing the morale of the military and
the civilian.
IF the Red Cross is to con-
tinue these vital services, it must
have cur support The goal of
the 1947 Fund Campaign which
starts March !, has been set at
$50 10000.
Il am confident that the citi-
zens OF Alaska, who gave so gen.
erously to the American Red
Cross during the war years, will
continue to maintain their notable
record Of support to this great or
ganization in its 1947 campaign"

MAYOR vEvELSTAD
OF PETERSBURG IS
Business VISITOR
Talks About Shrimp Closed
Season, Also Improve
mems for Home City

Mayor Carl Vevelstad of Peters
burg is spending a week in Jul
neau in the interest of several
issues of current Importance to
his city. One is in regard to the
length of closed season on shrimp
and also the ban on clans which
has been affecting industry at
Petersburg and WrangeI. The
shrimp packers of this area be-
lieve that the present two month
open season is too drastic com
pared tc the former two and a
half month closed season. The
packers feel that the men who
have been dependent upon shrimp
fishing for a living have been
forced into other jobs and conse-
quently a shortage of skilled help
ers will result in the shrimp can
neries.
Mayor Vevelstad said that it is
for fishermen to make
enough money during such short
season TO meet cost Of living and
the only alternative is seeking
other jobs or asking for unemploy-
ment compensation.
Now under construction in
Petersburg, among many other ex-
pansion projects, is the new Kay
Ter and Dahl cold storage plant
which has been added to the
shrimp plant and salmon cannery.
Other recently completed expan-
sion efforts include the renovat-
ing of Earl Dinners shrimp can
merry with the latest modern ma
chinery.
Pulp-Paper Industry
In speaking of the pulp and
paper industry development in the
area of Petersburg. Vevelstad re-
veaied that two companies are
now waiting to begin immediate
operations as soon as the U. S.
Forest Service gives the green
light On permission to cut the
timber. This together with the
native claims on the land, are the
only tottlenecks now in the path
of early construction plans.
Among other improvement and
expansion plans under way in
Petersburg is the increasing of
light and power capacity and also
the water system. Since grow
ing industries in the city have re-
suited in considerable increase Of
population, the mayor said build
ing plans are now under way for
many new homes. Some twelve of
these, under present construction,
have been held up for lack of
Mayor Vevelstad also mention
ed that 300 ton surplus army
loaf was recently purchased by
a group of Petersburg merchants
who formed their own co-opera-
tive group to handle frozen fish
to Prince Rupert and cargo des-
tined for the Territory on return
trips from Seattle. The vessel is
now in the process Of being fitted
cut and it is expected to be ready
for service within the next month

while hundreds gathered in the
streets. Presiding chairman was
Major Strong, later the Governor
of this Territory.
The case involved barber shon
and drug store whose owners TO-
gether with their buildings. had
been forcibly elected into an ad-
joining street. 1t seems that ala :
bama Bill" and Otto Keintz had
had an alteration with the land
owners who had taken stringent
methods to displace them. At the
conclusion OF the meeting. the
miners co-ordinated their efforts
and, en- masse, lifted the building
ings back to their original loca-
ton with bare hands and brute
strength. Joe says it was a
sight that Will probably never
have an equal.

companion on Joe's mining ven
lures throughout the Yukon Riv-
er country, and was a helpmate
in all his Southeast Alaska I'M
dertakings. Passing away on
March II, during the Extraor-
binary Session of 1916, she left
host of friends, saddened legisla-
tors. and husband who will new
err be reconciled to the ways OF
a solitary life
The Greens eventually left Ruby
and in early spring of 1917 went
to No Grub Greek intending to
for a short period. War,
however, was declared and they
were forgotten in those first hectic
They were forced to re-
turn to civilization by dog team,
and endured many hardships I'M

years with the Alaska Railroad
