DOING GOOD BUSINESS.
H. E. F King, proprietor ot the In

business has been better the past
month than usual, and is cheerfully
optimistic over the prospects for the
coming summer. He employs several
hands and the payroll is a welcome
udditfbn to our industries.
The Independent Laundry is as
well equipped as any laundry in the
cities of the States,—in fact it was
built to handle the business of a much
larger population than Valdez has
had up to the present time, and is
prepared to handle the finest work as
well as family washings.
Several of the steamers have their
laundry done by the Independent,
which adds quite a bit to the income

i’urties Convicted of Selling Uquor in
New Railroad Town Will Forfeit
Their lots for Violation of Condi
tions of Purchase.
A considerable controversy has
trlsen over the question as to wheth
er or not the government may enforce
the penalty of forfeiture which the
provisions of the sale of town lots
In Anchorage provide in the event of
the violation of the conditions of sale
by the purchaser. The government
has announced that the lands in the
new railroad town purchased by par
ties who have since been convicted of
selling liquor, contrary to the terms
and conditions of the sale, would be
compelled to forfeit the property.
Well-known lawyers have maintain
ed that the restrictions imposed are
void and the lots may not be forfeited
under them. The land office at Ju
neau maintains to the contrary and
that tile government will enforce the
penalty is evident from the following
letter from A. Christensen, Chief of
the Field Division of the land office.
“I enclose herewith a copy of the
Alaskan Railroad Townsite Regula
tions, approved by the President on
June 19, 1915, governing the (^i^posal
of townsites along the Government
Railroad in Alska, and under which
the lots at Anchorage were sold dur
ing the past summer. You will note
that under the heading, Conditions
and Forfeitures, the lots sold under
these regulations must not be used
for the purpose of manufacturing,
selling or otherwise disposing of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage, or
for gambling, prostitution or any un
lawful purpose before final payment
on the lot is made, and during a peri
od of five years from the date of the
certificate of sale, under penalty of
forfeiture of the lot and money paid
up to the time of forfeiture.
“Under tnese regulations, on Janu
ary 29, 1916, the Secretary of the In
terior forfeited six Anchorage town
site lots because the purchasers had
been duly convicted or entered a plea
of guilty to the charge of violation of
Sec.< 2681, Compiled Laws of Alaska,
which prohibits the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors without a license.
Ten other cases are under consid
eration wherein the lessee was con
victed of the same offense. Under
the regulations, ignorance by the pur
chaser of the acts of his lessee or
others on lots purchased by him is no
defense. However, an opportunity
will be given the purchaser in these
cases ONLY to show that he had no
knowledge of the violations.
On February 16. 1916, regulations
were promulgated by the Department
of the Interior, governing the proce
dure for the forfeiture of lots under
the Alaskan Railroad Townsite regu
lations, Circular No. 458, and I beg
that you will purchase them, or ex
tracts therefrom, as tne t;ommission
cr of the General Land Office has In
dicated that they be made generally
known throughout Alaska. You will
note that Par. 14 of these regulations
provide that where any lot purchaser,
or joint purchaser, or successor in
interest as transferee, assignee, les
see, etc., shall be convicted of an of
fense which constitutes a violation of
the Alaskan Railroad Townsite Regu
lations, the Secretary of the Interior
may in his discretion, declarea for
feiture of the lot involved. Theso
regulations will govern the procedure
in all cases arising after the date of
their promulgation—February 16,
1916. Copies may be obtained from
the Chief of Field Division, General
Land Office, Juneau. Alaska, “upon re
quest." i
