The repairs to Jake's house, it being the first house in the Indian
ranch, entering from Sitka, are sufficiently advanced to allow the
school for native children to be opened. It will commence on Monday,
with Miss Rankin as instructress. The governor is exerting himself to
secure the regular attendance of all the children of proper school age,
and will give the fathers a talk on the subject tomorrow. There seems to
be a disposition among them to send their children -- but we shall see.
Miss Ida Rogers, a very sprightly and charming young lady, has joined
the corps of teachers at the Home Mission school in Sitka, having
arrived by the Idaho, and entered at once upon her duties.
We hail, as the first addition to the population of Sitka since the
Alaska's arrival, the birth of a fine daughter to our worthy
fellow-citizen, Mr. Henry L. Bahrt, and are glad to add that the
estimable mother and interesting infant are both doing well.
Mr. Paul Schulze has resigned the presidency of the Northwest Trading
Company, and Mr. John Loewenberg, of Portland, Oregon, has been elected
in his stead. Mr. Loewenberg is a thorough business man, of experience
and enterprising spirit, and purposes to enlarge the business of the
company in the spring, if the demand for oil shall justify it. Mr. Carl
Spuhn continues in the management of the company's affairs in Alaska,
and with J. M. Vanderbilt and Ed. deGroff will prosecute the business at
Killisnoo. Over a thousand barrels of oil were taken down by the Idaho
on her last trip. The fall run of herring, in the lagoon, commenced
early in November, and the force has since had all the work they wanted.
About twenty men are employed, besides Indians, in the catch of fish and
extraction of oil. This oil is said to be superior to that taken on the
other side of the continent.
