DISTRICT COURT
* _
At the opening of the o •t. t for l us
j mess this morning, the case of A.
| ureeuikuw appellant, v>, tin City et
Ketchikan, in which a conviction was
had for a breach of the provision of
an ordinance requiring pedd.ers to oi
tain a license for the privilege of do
ing busiuess within the eity limits,
came up for a hearing.
The appellant's attorney, C. H. Cos
grove, in his argument contended tbqt
the ordinance under which his client
had been found guilty, and a fine im
posed, was null and void. That the
council had no authority to impose
such a tar. and brought some onthor
itv in support of his contentions. At
torney Ja sues M. Shoup. who represent
ed the city- denied Mr. Cosgrove’s
contention, and made it clear to the
court that the city gts a duly incor
porated community had a well defined
power to regulate peddlers, iu that it
eame under the head of ■’Police Regu
lation.” Mr. Shoup offered inuiner
able authorities to support his point.
The Court- however, declined, aud
remarked that incorporate.! towns in
Alaska have the power under the po
lite regulation to require p. IdVrs" to
first obtain a license before pe-i
tiling within the city limits.
The only question which the couit
refrained from answering was as to
whether the fee of ten dollars Imposed
upon peddlers by tbe ordinance was
reasonable or not. and held the answer
to give it further consideration.

in the case of the Ketchikan Power
Co.- vs. the Northland Dock and a

“QUEEN ESTHER”
POPULAR
Wmessed By Enthusiastic
Capacity Audience
i
Tlio fact that the second night of
' ‘ l^ueen bather” was witnessed by
as large an nutlienee as the iirst, is
; a great tribute to the popularity 01'
the play, and the excellency with
which it was rendered. Never in the
history of Ketchikan lias any program
been attended by so large and appreci
ative an audience for nvo consecutive
nights. Last night practically every
seat was filled and the audience was
s„ thrilled with the beautiful tones
and appropriate impersonating that
frequently the applause could not be
restrained to the cud of the scene.
Tlio success of the first night had
an effect to stimulate the performers
with greater confidence, and the
characters responded with a richness
of tone and ease of metier which
comes only to those who have the abil
ity to carry their hearers with them.
Doubtless if opportunity afforded
every one who atoniled this bcauti
ful play would heartily congratulate
those who took leading parts, for in
donating their services they have
given to the community a class of en
tertainment, which in rank, entirely
surpasses any thing which we ordin
arily have.

WHAT IS A “COULEE”?
The term “coulee” is generally ap
plied throughout the northern tier of
States to any steep-sided gulch or
water channel and at times even to
a stream valley of considerable length. .
The term was doubtless derived from
the French verb eouler, meaning to |
flow. This use of ‘‘coulee” should i
not be confused with the geological !
use of the word( which signifies a '
solidified stream or sheet of lava.— j
(Northern Pacific Guidebook, V. S.
Geological Survey.)
