IMBUED WITH
PROPER SPIRIT
THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTION
SHOULD RECEIVE SINCERE
CONSIDERATION
(Communication)
To the People of Ketchikan:—
The Ketchikan Commercial Club
has been recognized and the under
signed has been chosen President.
The Excutive Board seems to think
that under his leadership, a solution
might be found to the numerous
questions, involving the prosperity
of our town and vicinity, especially
the fish question.
Perhaps a mistake has been made,
in which event the writer will be
very glad to have it remedied at any
time in a manner calculated to bring
ibout the (taeired result.
It is • unfortunate for the town
'hat the fishermen of our vicinity
find it advantageous to sell their
catches at Rupert at the present
time. There most be a reason for
'his otherwise the fishermen would
sell their products here. At the
same time the Executive Board o'
the Commercial Club, in behalf of
the community generally, Is very de
sirous that all fish caught in Ameri
can waters or the vicinity thereof,
should find an equally advantageous
lucratice market here at Ketchikan
and to that end invite the confidence
and co-operation of those engaged
in the business of halibut fishing,
that this result,may be brought a
bout.
The writer would consider it a
personal pleasure to receive a state
ment of the reasons why the fisher
men take their product to Rupert, j
in order that those reasons may be
met and the product disposed of
here in order that our community
may receive the benefit of that busi
ness.
The writer takes the liberty of
further saying that he has no fish
to fry and axes to grind In this con
nection and interests himself in this
question simply a* a citizen of Ket
chikan, where he has lived for al
most 16 years, and as head of the
Ketehilran Commercial Club by
choice of those chosen to represent:
it.
It is hoped that those interested
in that business and he people of
Ketchikan generally, will respond
to this communication and receive
it in the same spirit in which it Is
written in order that everybody mav
share in the added prosperity that
will come from the disposal of this
great American product in the town
where it rightfully belongs.
Respectfully,
CHAS. H. COSGROVE.
President Ketchikan Commer
cial Club.

TO BE BROUGHT BACK
To Answer Charge of Kidnapping
William Christie Of
Douglas
SEATTLE, Nov. 16—Just as Ed
ward Krause, a resident of Peters
burg, and a well known Socialist
of Southeastern Alaska, stepped off
the gangplank of the steamer Jef
ferson last evening, a United States
Marshal arrested him in a warrant
sworn to at Juneau, in which Krause
is charged with the crime of kid
napping William Christie, a married
man and an employe of the Tread
well Mining Company, of Douglas.
The Juneau papers at the time of
the kidnapping published state
ments to the effect that Krause was
enamored with Mrs. Christie, a
former Mrs. Gesekus, and was jeal
ous. A couple of weeks ago, it ap
pears that Krause went to Douglas
and represented himself to Christie
as a Deputy Marshal, and wanted
him to go across to Juneau as a
witness in a case pending before the
court. From that day to this,
nothing has been seen of Christie
nor Krause until a few days ago
when the latter came to Ketchikan
where he registered at the Royal
Lodging House under the name of
O. E. Moore.
Mr. Carlson, of the Northern
Hotel, met Krause and as he knew
him well, naturally spoke to him.
The next day, the Progressive-Min
er published a statement to the ef
fect that the Juneau authorities had
failed to locate the said Krause.
This came to the attention of Mr.
Carlson, who informed Deputy Mar
shal Howell, who in turn wired the
head office at Juneau giving what
ever information he had received,
with the results stated above. A re
ward of five hundred dollars has
been offered for his apprehension.
