TWO ELECTIONS TO BE
HELD ON NOVEMBER 3
(Juneau Empire, Sept-mbor 11 )
The orticials of the hirst judicial division
have decided that there will be two elect ons
in Alaska on the 3d J n \t November
one for the ole'Min of a delegate to con
gress and on:* for election of members of
the territorial legislature and that two
tickets and two ballots must be used.
The questu u is one that has been vexing
•he official.- ; r some time. While it is
believed that the 1 ai Mature intended that
there should be one election, with one ticket
and one ballot box. the wording of tlie
statute was such that it worried those who
had to act under it. and in the l irst divi
sion the tinal decision was as stated.
The same election officers and polling
places will be used and the same hours ob
served for both elections.
Clerk cf the Court J. W. Bell issued a
circular letter of instructions to (lection of
ficers yesterday setting forth the construc
tion of the statute. The letter says:
“The provisions of the acts of congress of
May 7, 1906, and August 21, 1912, provide
for two elections, one for delegate to con
gress and one for the territorial legislature.
“It will be nece-sary to provide two ballot
boxes, one to be marked 'Ik legate’ and one
to be marked ‘Legi.-laturc.'
“Sop:;, e tafy .-heats and certificates of
results si uld be returned for the delegate
an dlegislalurc."
It is further held by Clerk of the Court
Bell that if .i India containing a vote for
dk'lcg&t;- and 1 i-laiive tauuHdalo b put in
the ‘delegate’ box only the vote for delegate
will be counted; and if a ballot containing
vmo b r he delegate end leg;, la:ive Candi
da: s is put in the ‘legislature’ box only the
legislative ballot will be counted.

“To take Pari-, in my estimation, is to

(Ruby Record Citizen, September 2G)
!i is generally known throughout this
lislrict and other sections that the citizens
if Ruby a short time ago formed the Ruby
Development Company, with the prime ob
ject of purchasing a drill to assist in pros
pecting creeks adjacent to Ruby, thus de
velepim: the camp as well as encouraging
and assisting the individual prospectors of
limited means. The organization was per
fected; about forty-five citizens contributed,
?ach one cheerfully advancing whatever his
means would allow. The drill was bought
at Nome. Sam Taggart of the Pacific Cold
-borage Company and Walter Johnson of
[he I’nion (’oustruction Company kindly
volunteering their services to act for th ’
Roby citizens at that place. A fine outfit,
with many extra breakable parts, was sc
ored at a very reasonable figure, and
ihe drill was shipped, arriving her Sunday
last by the Surah.
In due time the board of directors of the
R;ihv Development Company was notified
i.-y the agent of the White Ra«s company
[bat said Keystone drill had arrived and
,vas ready to be turned over to said develop
ment company as soon as the freight bill
born Nt me to Ruby was paid, which bib
was only $S08.7’>. The directors, it is said,
daggered just a little when this announce
ment v.:*-: made, but as the entire camp is
daggering under the same load, they de
ified to pay this bill to the robber bur m
as the drill must be had. In doing so,
however, they appeal to every citizen who
has advanced a dollar in this co-operative
mterprKe. to every man, woman and child
who bus the interest of this camp at heart,
Lind to every Alaskan of the Interior and
all their friends on the coast and Ow!--ide
io swear vengeance on this transporta” o
monopoly, as the White Pass company or
any other name, anti make a v'-w to force
t Is is barnacle on progress, this octopus of

no ire will interfere with navigation and
where steam from its own boilers will be
as cooling zephyrs to its blackened, shriv
eled, avaricious soul.

Marshal Charles’ federal boarding hou. f r
the past week., with a chance of his stay
there being prolonged to months.
Last Saturday ,/ternoon about 5 o’clock
the peace and quiet of the suburb located
acr - the river from Richmond street was
ruddy broken when the above mentioned |
Nipponese arrived at the home of William 1
Prim.de, Iditarod’s water magnate. William
was enjoying the delights of a bachelor 1
dinner, and with true sourdough hospitality j
asked tlie little brown brother to take pot
luck with him. Fujii’s appetite for solid
f'»'»d was not good, however, and not to be
out dr nc in the matter of courtesy, he pro
duct i • bottle of whisky and invited Bill
to join him. But Mr. Pringle is a firm be

ii.-oer.-r. t. the r. -idents of the city, and
which is procured from hi- f&znous v,*11 on
the river bank, and he declined the invito- ,
lion. The dap regarded this as an evi
k nee of an om'-nubl? disposition, and re
owed his invitation with emphasis, and
Bdi was compelled to gently but firmly lead ,
him to the door and ask him to depart. 1
- he perceived by this time that I ujii was !
under the influence of liquor. Being igno- i
minion.*ly deposited on the doorstep of Prin- j
gle’s domicile was too much fir the proud |
spirit of the native of the Land of the Ris
ing Sun, and he picked up an ax and uttered i
harsh words to Pringle, who retired inside j
his cabin, closed the door and resumed his
interrupted meal. Being curious to see |

he got up and peered through the window, |
and the Jap. seeing the shining dome of j

whisky bottle, which crashed through the;
window and demolished a lamp on the i

At th;~ turn fo affair Mr Fungi - ran out

Marshal Charles was summoned to the scene
and arrested the belligerent Jap, who in the
meantime had taken possession of the cabin 1
evacuated by Mr. Pringle.

bent on the commissioner to bind the pris
oner over to the grand jury, which would
mean a stay of several months in jail for

F. Harrison, who represented Fujii, made a
lea for the reduction of the charge, and

' Irnen Hr lmes, Porter, Maitby and Smith.
Councilman Currin was out of the city.
The minutes of the precious meeting were
read and approved, and bills aggregating
$ 1.063.73 were read and approved, and war
rants ordered drawn in payment thereof.
A general discussion of the finances of
the town revealed the fact that there was
a deficiency of a considerable sum, but that
money due the city from license receipts,
and which is expected to be forwarded from
Fairbanks shortly, would more than cover
it. It is expected that the receipts for the
current fi.-cal year will h-Jan.ce with the
expenditures.
An appropriation of $500 was made for
the current expenses of the school board.
