outfits and different circum-
stances, and yet there is

Male readers, fearing their
weaknesses are being exposed
and exploited by another man,
may cry sabotage" as they
pick up this book. Mr.. Ketchum
quite brazenly admits it is a
shortcut manual for wives

upper hand in the matrimonial

With apparent callous in

Death came quietly to one of Kodiak's oldtimers last Wednes- day. Evan Atetz, an old pioneer, was found seated in a chair in his home. Death had claimed the body of the old man, who had become something of a legendary charac- ter.
 Atetz spoke very little English. He is said to have come here from the Mt. Katmai region, having been evacuation from there following the eruption. Little is known of his past. He is reported to have been married, and has grandchild- ren in the States. His age is esti- mated by some in the late seven ties and by others as over ninety. He was a familiar figure in Ko- diak, and would be seen many times walking along the beach or strolling about town. He was in failing health for some time, and hard of hearing.
 Among his personal belongings was found SIT in cash, last will and testament dated December 8, 1889 and several paintings.

Along 7he Waterfront

The weeks closure on fishing has resulted in many boats dotting the waterfront the past week. Boats have been laying in supplies, prep aratory to returning to the fishing grounds over the weekend.
 Fishing for pinks will get into full swing next week. Good catches have been reported in the Cook Inlet area and also at Prince Vii liam Sound by some of the opera tors. Halferty's dispatched a teaxii CT from here to help take caresof their catches.
 Roy Lindsley reports the fishing should be fair here in the early days of the season ahaut to open. But, he added, it will not be any thing like last year.
 The big news this week, ef course, is that preliminary work Is about to begin on the small boat harbor project. The many, boats that have been tied up at the D and A dock, in many cases four deep, indicates the necessity for the harb0r, and place to anchor these boats.
 The freezer ship, North Star, owned by the North Star Fish, cries of Seattle, pulled in to the Union dock yesterday for refuei- ing. She is down from, Bristol Bay and will operate in this area. She will have about eleven boats fish- ing with her.
 A couple of incidents that might have been disastrous, oe- cured. Lloyd Cannon, aboard his boat the Juneau, experienced few anxious moments while in the Shelikof Straits, when drum Of fuel came loose in the hold and broke the seacock. Considerable water had gotten in before discos- cred. The Majestic went aground, and was lowed into Port Bailey, and soft patched by Alvine and Gibsons. She is being repaired. We are happy to say rumor making the rounds that the Lois sank in the Shelikof Straits was entirely erroneous, She has been tied up at the D & A dock most of the week
