PRICE iO CENTS ' " KETCHIKAN. ALASKA, PR I HAY, JUNE 0, IP13._, VOL. 2. NO. 50
KETCHIKAN FACES LOCAL OPTl
Under An order recently hard
td down by Juice Jennings of
Juneau, the saloons must fol
low a different mode of proce
dure in obtaining their license
in the future. In place of gett
ing a certain number of names
c n a petition for each individ
ual saloon, the saloon men
m ust take a census of the prop
er?-* owners and residents with
in a radius of two miles of th*
section and obtain their
\ c.\s on the matter. As near
ly She present license ex
P re : July, and as one censu*
- 11 that is necessary for al!
e even : fthe saloons, the sal
oon keepers ipp. :*ed a com
mittee consisting of E. Austin
and Councilman P. Smith Har
ris. who were approved by the
•'jMft to take ‘his census and
ascertain the will of the people
ir. Ihe matter. If the majority
of the people say “No" there
will be no more saloons ‘a
Ketchikan. If however, the
petition is signed by a majority
<>f the people things will be a*
: uy have been heretofore. This
leaves the matter strictly ir
the hands of the local people.
W hile there are many good
arguments against the sal
oons there are just as many in
their favor. The revenue de
rived from this som»e is eleven
decusand dollars a year which
s sed to support the school
.aj maintain ihe streets. This
ri. ey must come from sotn»
\» -- re arid at present if is to.ke :i

the town. Other wise it would

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
(‘lias. Pul verson, a while trol
l*r, who has been trolling at
Kah Shake* Cove, yesterday
morning look a notion to come
to town for a few days. He had
a prptty Stiff wind when he
s'arted and was forced to reef
hi* sail and take the sprit out
s<> that he was sailing with only
a >mall triangle of canvas.
When he got to Portland Rocks
between Bold and Annette Is
lands, the wind died down and
be thought that he would make
better limp if he carried more
sail so he hoisted all the sail
ihat he had. He was In a six
teen foot boat and had about
I‘JO feet of *ail. Just about the
lime that he got all of his sad
up the wind veered to the other
quarter and a squall caught
him ami tipped him over. As
lu- went over he grabbed an
ore and after three hours of
terrific struggling against the
wind and tide and of the ter
rible cold from the water
which he was fighting to keep
from being overcome, lie man
aged to paddle the overturned
boat to shore on the Annette
Island side. As he had no dry
matches and no way to -start a
fire his only chance was to
make town so after emptlng the
water from the boat he started
again. The accident occured
m ten in the morning and he
reached town and a change of
elothin gat three oclock in the
afternoon after which he was
iitlle the worse for his cold
ducking.
SOME LUMBER
The local Forest Service ot
t see have on exhibition a
spruce board, clear, fifty inches
m width and 103 inches long.
This board is just half of the
length of the original one cut.
People say that the timber of
ttiis region is of no value but
ibis board proves the contrary.
Seventy inch logs are not un
common by any means and one
was cut the other day that
measured 120 inches on the
-t.imp. While this board is
pul the largest cut it is a fair
average sample. It was cut at
)he local mill of the Ketchikan1
Power Co.
