Marines Misused Says Admiral Evans In Navy Spat
Admiral Evans writes the Navy Department that sailors and marines of the North Atlantic fleet were clubbed by police and denied admission to amusements in Portland Maine for wearing naval uniforms. He urges protection of the blue jackets on land and hopes his command will not need to visit cities that mistreated the men. Meanwhile Alaska reports from the Skwentna river note Lennox and Purdy returning with two pokes of bright gold. Lennox, a long time resident hunter and prospector, plans to relocate to Mt McKinley country for trapping this fall. The Guggenheims reportedly begin buying Hunter creek claims, aiming to spend millions on Bonanza Creek properties and a new hydroelectric system. A Yukon Valley News item notes a Baker Creek hot springs farm sold for 30000 to Frank Manley, with the springs boosting local vegetation and vegetables selling for nearly 10000 last year.
