MARSHAL SHOWS
COST OF JAIL UPKEEP
Marshal Faulkner has re
newed his request for permis
sion to work federal prisoners
on government roads in this
vicinity, in his report to the de
partment of justice, just for
warded to Washington. For
r. time it was thought the pros
pects for working the prison
ers was exceedingly bright, but
of late nothing more has been
beard of the agitation. Dur
ing the year Marshal Faulkner
disbursed 80-4.870. 51. divided
into the following appropria
tions:
Expenses marshals $10,717.11
Fees jurors . 10.8ft-4.00
I Fees witnesses. 21.037.50
Support prisoners. 3-4,200.1)1
Pay baliffs. 2.832-30
1 Miscellaneous exp.12,906.00
! Exp. Dist. Attys. 1.210.17
Rent court rooms. 252,50
The item “miscellaneous ex
peses” is that of the United
States district court. Fees of
1 witnesses and support of pris
oners. as the above compila
tion shows, cost the United
Slates government the sum of
*55.037.47 during the year
jti-t ended. In Marshal Faulk
ner’s opinion these two item
would he cut at least in half by
working the federal prisoners,
because hard labor has a ten
dency to make the prospective
lawbreaker think twice before
be violates a statute, and there
wiM he less inclination to com
mit crime, on the part of the
prisionor. when he knows lie
will not have a few months of
idlenC" in a well-kept jail in

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED
Reports, more or less involv
ed in mysteries are being
brought in from time to time
that outsiders make a practice
to put up deer meat in tierces
and otherwise for the Seattle
market, in flagrant violation of
the laws of Alaska. For years
these same reports have been
made, yet what has been done
to prevent the destruction of a
food supply which the Alaskans
are trying to protect. It is only
a short time ago that the prop
er authorities were notified
that several men equiped with
all necessaries, came from Ta
coma or Seattle in a large fish
ing schooner, anchored in an
out of the way place near shore
and proceeded to put up some
twenty tierces. Nothing was
heard of the ease since. Noth
ing in the world could prevent
the authorities from seizing
the whole outfit, and prose
’"'o'g the offenders. Later,
the Wrangell Sentinel in a
paragraph headed “Where is
Ihe Warden” called attention
to the fact that some eight men
were out in the hills fishing for
deer meat for the Seattle
market. Yet, was there any
action taken in the matter?
Not, that any body knows.—
