In Commissioner's Court
August Starklof, who was brought
here from Craig by Deputy Marshal
Calhoun a day or two ago, charged
with selling liquors to Indians,was
tried Saturday by a jury of twelve
on another charge prefered against
him by the Deputy, and was acquit
ted.
It appears that the man had been
in the habit of procuring liquor foi
others and delivering the same. This
was thought to constitute the of
fense of selling liquor without a
license. However Attorney C. H.
Cosgrove convinced the jury to the
contrary and resulted in the prisoner
heing acquitted.
The charge of selling liquor to
Indians still remains against him
which will be taken up by the grand
jury.

NAVIGATION ON
THE KUSKOKWIM
(From the Coast Survey Bulletin)
On July 4 the steamer Yukon,
R. R. Lukens commanding, piloted
the steamship Alliance from the
west channel of the Kuskokwlm river
to the Eek channel, through which
she proceeded to sea. This cross
over is difficult and the master of
the Alliance requested that the Yu
kon pilot him over it.
On the trip to Bethel the Alliance
ran only at low water, and the sound
ings obtained over the shoal places
agree remarkably well with those on
chart 9104. The soundings on this
chart were reduced on very limited
tidal data, and it is a tribute to thv
tidal division that the reductions
were made so perfectly.
No shifting of channels or change
or depths have been noticed thus far.
The mud flats along Eek Channel
appear just the same as last year,
and the soundings agree with last
year’s work. This contradicts the
theory that these channels vary
every year when the ice goes out.
STILL A DARK SECRET
There used to be a United States
Senator from New England—he is
dead now—who spoke at great length
and with much force on whatever
subject he chose to discuss; but his
style of delivery was somewhat in
volved, not to say intricate. And
sometimes, because of this, he spent
some time in getting at the meat
of his topic.
One night, during a heated presi
dential campaign, he spoke at Coop
er Union, in the city of New York.
A business man who had a profound
admiration for the statesman was
late in arriving. As he hurried up
the steps, panting hard he met an
upstate farmer just emerging from
the top-floor hall, where the meeting
was staged.
Has Senator S-and-So been
-speaking?” asked the new arrival.
“Yep,” said the departing one.
“How long has he been speak
ing?”
“Rout twenty minutes,” said the
farmer.
“What is he speaking about?”
“He didn’t say!” answered the
truthful yokel, and passed on.
