weak-minded and died from tubercu

Although Ketchikan has not been |
experiencing the same amount of j
trouble as other Alaskan coast towns!
from having to provide for idle men.
she has her quota and is trying to
devise a plan whereby the men can
lie given work on needed public im
provements. The city has not the
money at present to pa* for the im
provements and proposes to issue
vouchers or script, good at the local
stores, to pay men to build a road
along llie beach which has been want
ed for a long time. The plan cannot
be carried to success without the co
operation of the business men, us they
will be loaning out of their stock of
goods, which is the same as cash to
them Many of the merchants favor
the scheme as a means of aiding un
e oployed men who have families for
whleh to provide.

aska who were lucky enough to land
in Seattle with their cargoes received
good prices for their catches Halibut j
in prime condition brought as high as
i2% cents per pound, while fresh sal
mon brought eight cents per pound
with a small extra bonus.
Homestead matters in Alaska, it is
announced, will probably suffer some
further delay as the land office at
Juneau has as yet failed to receive
definite instructions as to whether the
general homestead laws shall be fol
lowed with reference to surveyed
lands, or whether the special Alaska
act shall be followed. Much confusion
has arisen among the land office offi
cials.
James Kingston, alleged to be a

When people are ".stung" they arc
usually disapointed. That was why
Judge Bunnell was disappointed
recently after the mail was distributed.
The Judge called a! the pustofflee,
and was informed that there was a
piece of mall matter there cn which j
there was due two cents it was In a ^
big envelope, and to look nt it one
might imagine that it contained an un i
mounted photograph, for there was
nothing an the outside of the envelope
to indicate its contents
So Mr. Bunnell produced s..mi• • small)
change, bought some stamps and re
(teemed the parcel of mall which was
addressed to the "Judge of the District ]
Court."
Rut imagine what was his disap
pointment when on opening it he found
that It was simply a circular ndver- !
tislng tohasco sauce
"I think this was really intended for
Judge Fuller," commented Mr Bunnell
“and so I am going to forward It to
him. and tell him to have such things ,
sent to his new address "
