A STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION
GREAT IMPROVEMENTS WERE
MADE RECENTLY AT
THE REVILLA.
'n order to keep abreast with the
times and the progress that is en
livening Ketchikan, the Revilla Ho
tel hi^s again added to its conven
iences. Tlie hotel is now operating
a strictly up-to-date restaurant and
dining room in conjuction with the
hotel- Several thousand dollars
have been expended in fitting up
the dining room. Splendid furniture
such as leather cushioned boxes,
chairs and elegant tables
Kaeh box and table has an in
dividual lamp with inverted brass
domes are hung from the ceiling
The ceiling and walls have been
beautifully frescoed and painted,
thus giving the appearance and feel
ing that one experiences when at
the Butler or Washington Hotels.
Although it has only been opened
for business a few days, many local
people have patronized the place
already.
The pantry and kitchen is in
charge of competent management,
thereby assuring excellent service
which the people as a general rule
apprciate
In addition to the above, a writ
ing and waiting room has been pro
vided for the ladies, guests of the
hotel as well as for the ladies of
Ketchikan
In conjunction with the main din
ing room, another room facing on
Market street next door to the
wireless office, will be opened Mon
day. the 8th. This room is intended
for those who require quick service
at very moderate prices. All in
all. the place is a credit to the
city.

i GREAT KLONDIKE DREDGE
BREAKS WORLD'S RECORD
The spectacle of a ponderous gold
dredge, a perfect dreadnaught of the
Arctic, churning incessantly in icy
; waters and turning up daily and
washing perfectly thousands of cub
ic yards of auriferous gravels, may
| be seen in the Klondike valley, sev
en miles from Dawson, by those who
care to take a little journey that far
today, says the Dawson News, of
January 28. The big machine is the
; Canadian Klondike Company's mam
] moth dredge No 2, the largest in
the world- The News write-up man
took a jaunt to the dredge yester
day and went over it in company
with General Manager Joseph W.
Boyle. The dredge has been work
ing without interruption since re
pairs on her were completed and she
started up last fall. During the last
four days the big ship has been sub
mitted to the severest test respect
ing temperature ever recorded in
the history of the world- During
these four days the thermometer at
the dredge registered 56 to 66 de
grees below zero, Fahrenheit. Dur
ing that period no more time was
lost than on ordinary days- The j
remarkable performance of No. 2
in this instance no doubt will be a
matter of great interest to dredge !
GRAND PRODUCTION
OF THE “MIKADO”
COMIC OPERA TO BE G’YEN L
THE LYCEUM IN k”AR
FUTURE.
There Is no doubt about the ex
cellence of the coming production
of the comic opera “Mikado” which
is being prepared oy the leading
vocalists of Ketchikan, and which
will be given now in about two
weeks.
Already most of the soloists ha\ e
their music and libritto learned and
as the dramatic work begins, the
interest in the rehearsals become
more intense- Those who have seen
the costumes furnished for the
opera by Mr- Robinson are loud in
their praise for the beauty and ex
cellence of the outfit and say they
are far superior to those furnished
by costumes for professional com
panies

KRAUSE ON THIRD TRIAL
(Juneau Empire)
The trial of Edward Krause for
fraudulent use of the mail was start
ed this morning in the district court.
The first witness for the govern
ment was Edward E. Harvey, who
was manager of the Olympic mines
company, and for whom K-. Yama
moto was working, previous to his
disappearance.
Mr. Harvey testified fiat he was
very familiar with the handwriting
and signature of Yamamoto. Sev
eral specimens of the correspondence
between Yamamoto and Harvey
were submitted and placed in evi
dence. Mr. H'rvpy war question
ed at some length about his oppor
tunity to learn the handwriting of
the missing man.
The purported mortgage from Ya
mamoto by Mr. Harvey, who, when
questioned, testified that the mort
gage was not signed by Yama
moto.
Kazis Krauczunas was kept busy
entering objections to the questions
of the district attorney, answers of
the witness and the introduction of
the exhibits. Judge Jenninngs was
kept busy over-ruling the objections.
Several times during the examina
tion of the witness Judge Jennings
was forced to call a halt and
straighten out the ottorneys who
were talking at once, asking ques
tions and making objections.
Late yesterday afternoon the jury
was secured for the trial of Edward
Krause on the charge of “fraudulent
use of tbe mails ” The jury- was se
lected from a special venire of 25
and a second venire of seven men,
ail of the members of the regular
panel having been challenged for
cause except two. and they were ex
cused on peremptory challenge.
The government used all five of
its challenges and the defense used
all its ten- Considerable amuse
ment was created in court when
Attorney Krazis Krauczunas at
tempted to serve Lang Cobb with a
notice of appeal in another case irf
which Mr. Cobb is the principal. !
Judge Jennings asked him to wait 1
until Mr. Cobb was out of the jury
box.
The jury to try. the case is com
posed of George Howard, Charles
Bartcll, J. H. Cline, \nton Bergen, j
j Harry Musgut, Arthur Baker, G. H.
Massey. John McConnell, W. F

( an old-time resident of Petersburg, j
who had just returned from Prince
Rupert where he and associates
had gone with a load of halibut
It appears that the party eonsist
I itig of several men left Petersburg
some days ago on the power boat
Norman Sundy on a halibut expedi- j
tion. It was only a few days until
they had a load and returned to
j Petersburg to dispose of their catch
That day in Seattle, the halibut j
sold for ten and one-half cents a
pound. They were offered seven j
cents by a local buyer at that place- I
The party proceeded on- their way j
to Prince Rupert, Stopping here, !
•he buyers offered them six and one
half cents a pound, but continuing,
they sold at Prince Rupert for sev
en and one-quarten_ cents a pound.
Mr. Nickelson sal's that there is
something wrong somewhere.
