(Bob) Hckman, old time Alaskan resident and prominent busines man of Ketchikan, arrived in Ju-‘ neau on the Princess Norah from Seattle. While here he will visit old riends before boarding the Princ- Norah on the return trip, southward Mr. Heckman, now retired from | ousiness, holds the title of Presi- dent of the J. R. Heckman Com- pany of Ketchikan and of the Min- | ers and Merchants Bank of that city. | Formerly three-time Territorial Legislature member from the First Division, Mr. Heckman now spends his winters in Seattle and his sum- mers in Southeast Alaska. | Retired from active business for seven years after a strenuous career of merchandising and banking which began 45 years ago when he quit his job as a cannery work- er to start a small store stocked with second hand merchandise, Mr, Heckman now takes life easy and is enjoying the fruits of his labors. Coming to Alaska in 1886 he worked in a small cannery twenty miles from what is now Ketchi- kan. With savings from his work in the plant he established his first store eight years later. His busi- ness soon grew from one contain- ing $3,000 worth of stock to a con- cern grossing $500,00¢ per year. In 1889 he took active stock con- it as the Miners and Merchants Bank into one of the leading fin- ancial institutions of the Territory. | Always happy to travel among| |his old haunts, Mr. Heckman is a| periodic visitor to Alaska through- | out the stretch of his winter resi-| dence in Seattle.

HOME; BROKE NEWS OF FIRE Princess Norah Passengers Shocked by Goldstein Building Story News of the Goldstein Building fire caused excitement, sadness and dismay at sea Wednesday when a wireless message telling of the dis- ister was received By Mayor F Lucas aboard the Princess N bound for Juneau. Mayor Lucas, back in his City Hall office today, said the Juneau people aboard the ship could scarcely believe the news, which was not received until about 5:30 o'clock in the evening. The message was sent by -Dr. Robert Simpson. To the Mayor fell the task of Charles Goldstein, owner of the building, who was a fellow pas- senger. Mayor Lucas spent several weeks in the States, visiting Seattle, Port- E land, Bonneville Dam and Timber- line Lodge on Mount Hood on a combined business and pleasute trip. He conferred with army en- gineers in Seattle relative to dredg- ing of the Juneau small boat har- | bor.
