Alaska Notes
Gathered From Territorial
Exchanges.
Wolves for the first time have made
their appearance around the cabins ;
in the camp in McKinley Park. Re
cently a band of six or seven wolves
chased and killed a caribou almost in
the center of the camp and within a
few feet of several buildings.
Four fine, workable beds of coal
have been found in Mt. McKinley Na
tional Park. One bed is said to be a
very high grade of blacksmith coal
.and the second bed of such coal found
in Alaska. In the fall, after work on :
the road was shut down, the Road
Commission took out some coal with ,
the crew for use in the camp.

eral years he was connected with the
Anchorag Times. He is an excellent
newspaper man, and Fairbanks and

Roy G. Southworth, dea nof Alaska
newspaper men and editor and man
ager of the Anchorage Times for the
last several years, has purchased an
interest in a printing firm at Port

management of the Times some days i

permanency in business for himself

he immediately rolled up his sleeves
and is already at work.
G. M. (Happy) Nison, of Yakutat,
a fisheman, and a boy, Carl Edwards,
who lived with Nison, were found
dead in their bed recently by neigh
bors who called at the cabin. Death
apparently had been caused by fumes
from a radio battery which Nison was '
charging with a Ford engine. The
couple were fully clothed and appar
ently had passed away without a
struggle.

TACOMA SEEKS SHARE
IN TRADE WITH ALASKA
Tacoma, from all indications, is !
about to make a well-founded and •
concentrated effort for a real share
of Alaska trade. Recent word from
the Chamber of Commerce of that
city says that it has organized an
Alaska, committee whose purpose
will be:
To assist Alaskans in the develop
ment of Alaska Territory.
To aid in increasing good will be
tween the communities of Alaska and
Tacoma.
To aidnn bringing the business in
terests of Tacoma closer to those of
Alaska.
In consolidating its field, Tacoma
also is going after the 1934 session of
the International Sourdoughs reunion.
The Tacoma Sourdoughs Club, at a '
recent meeting, took formal action to J
invite hte organization for next year.
This year he former residents will '
gather in Los Angeles.
