B. L. Petty, superintendent of the
i idlev Mill, is over from that place,

! Udi. Ait- ba\ iug ta\t n uu ;
i..t.eu«ory ot t:.e lumber in the yard
! -a.i uk other mill property for the
j u ..serwriters, and found that there
; was shocks for 65,000 salmou boxes
! and about 1,200-000 feet of lumber
hand in addition to the wharf,
.j-ehauses, etc. About 150,000
• eel of lumber was destroyed at the j
suae the mill burned and the day's j
.a of boxes also.
According to Lee. the fire started j
(vtween the two smokestacks, and!
in the twinkling of an eye had been !
scattered ail over the place by the !
-savings cyclone, so that it seemed:
to be on fire in a dozen places a: !
once. The bust and oily aecumuta- j
lions caught like powder, and at j
once the entire boiler room was a
mas of flames. The men in the j
ntlli quickly got the water turned !
on, but the heat was so intense that t
they, were driven off ,»nd a length I
oi hose through which the water was!
running actually burned up aroun ■ I
the water. As the result of this in
tense heat, the heavy eastings of
she planers and other machines are
warped out of all use, and a three !
inch shaft which drove the box fae
lory machine wa* twisted like a wire ;
Fortunately engineer Page, who w.-,~
■>n shift at the time, and who stayed i
by his engines and boilers until the
list moment, had the presence of
mind to run his boilers full of wat<
so that they did not explode when
tise intense heat of the conflagration
-truck them.
According to word arriving from
the south, there is some possibility j
f the insurance companies re-building
the mill instead of paying the insur
ance money.

Geneva. June 3—Italian torpedo
boats made a dash into the Gulf of *
Trieste yesterday and sank two Aus

iroin Trieste and Piume brings the j

DECISION IN If ORTANI CASE-NEW
ENGLANDHSHO. WINS
Judge Robert \V. Jennings bus just
liapJcd down a ruliug in a case
which will be of great interest to
Alaskans geucrallv. It is Ills ruliug
on the ease of the New England Fish
company vs. E. 1*. By us, in which
the fish company was suing lor the
possession of tide lands iu front of
their property at the south end of
; own. The decision was iu favor of
the plaintiff company iu every in
stance- the ease being divided under
three heads or questions, all of which
the Judge answers affirmatively. The
questions were: "Is the plaintiff
the owner of certain uplands iu
Alaska?" "What is the nature aud
extent of the littoral rights of an
owner of upland iu Alaska?" "Is
tue defendeut obstructing or inter
..iiig with the rights of the plain
tiff?"
Judge Jennings ruled that the Xew
England company holding the final
receipt of the land office, quit claim
deeds from prior owners, ami having
improved and is using the upland
■' is the owner, iu possession of and
entitled to the possession of the up
land iu question and vested with
the usual littoral rights.” thus set
tling the first question.
The answer to the second question
is more involved than that of the
first, and the judge cites several cas
es similiar to the one iu
question, in which he showed that

dred and fifty Americans left this city

night. They were r riven out on :<r
■ount f :1 shortage of food whip'
•= 1 ••miiig serious.
tlio owner of uplaud was entitled to
tho use of the waterfront in “ease
ment.” and the New England having
shown that they needed tne c.
shoreline in front of tlieir
for the purpose of prosecuting ...
business, tho decision on this poin.
was also in their favor.
By thus affirmatively answering
questions one and two, question No.
3 was automaticly disposed of, and
the Court concluded its opinion as
follows:
“The Court is not disposed to
calculate to an inch or a foot, or
even ten feet, just how much of thu
tideland will be required: ft is satis
fied from the evidence that tho plain
tiff is in good faith, and that all thu
waterfront abutting on its land is
reasonably necessary to enable it to
have that free access to which it is
entitled.
“That defendant's structures on
the tideland constitute an obstruction
to this access stands to reason.
“The findings and tho decree arc
therefore for the plaintiff.”
The proceedings and suit were start
ed July 18. 1912, and the evidence
was submitted and the case argued
last December. The plaintiff company
was represented by L. B. Stedman
of Seattle, and Chas. E. Ingcrsoll of
Ketchikan. Winn & Burton of Ju
neau, and Chas. II. Cosgrove of Ket
