Conditions in the Koyuktrk
Deputy United States Marshal K. D. Hep- '
pt-nsiali, writing front Wiseman, on the 1
upper Kovukuk, under date of June 30. to
Marsh;:! iirwin at Fairbanks, says that they
Jiad ju-t received their first mail since April
24. At that, it was only first-class mail.
During the two months' period without mail :
till V were practically cut off from the world, i
as there is no telegrapah wire there. Re- |
lVrring to local news, Heppenstall writes
that the Wild river strike is causing some i
local interest. He states that the last of ,
June John Larson reached Wiseman with
•he first tilings. He reported good pay on I
live claims and further stated that it would !
run 81.Ml a square foot, with only three
feet to bedrock. Larson confirmed the in- |
formatii n that the big pay was on Jay j
creek, and that some good prospects had
be a opened on Lake creek, where he him- I
self had taken out 8800 this spring with j
wood fires. The ground on Lake, he said, i
was forty feet to bedrock, and wet. Lar
sen's report caused a small stampede—small
because there are not many people in Wise- i
man. He also reported some pay opened )
at various other points in the district.
Automobile Traffic Stopped
Recent heavy rains, with the consequent
tier,: waters of the Tanana river, wrought
havoc with the trail road between Fair- I
hanks and Richardson. It is still passable (
for freighting outfits, but extremely heavy j
and difficult. For automobiles and light ;
rigs, A.'.-istant Engineer Zug'says it is not j
passable now, and he advises no one to at- ,
tempt it for a little while.
Death of Billy Moore
Billy Moore, the man who was so terribly |
injured on the steamer Leotai a short time i
ago, died on July 22 at the hospital at Fort j
Gibbon from internal hemorrhage. His
legs were amputated on July 13. Moore s
death caused sorrow at Tanana. where he |
was well known and universally liked. He I
made a brave fight for his life against over- j
whelming odds. The trip down from the j
Crow river was made in record time, and he ,
was hurried down to the army hospital at I
Fort Gibbon with all possible speed and
comfort. His nerve was wonderful, and
held out to the end.
Municipal Row at Cordova
A political row is in progress at Cordova
as a result of an effort that has been made
to remove the chief of police and appoint
his successor. It looks now as though the
matter may have to be settled by the courts.
Recently there was a disagreement between
the chief of police and the members of the
police committee of the council. The latter
recommended his removal, but a vote on
the matter resulted in a tie. Later the
mayor removed the chief of police and ap
pointed his successor. The chief refused to
heed the order for removal, and insists on
serving. The newly-appointed chief also
maintains that he is entitled to the office,
and he is refusing to lalow his opponent
to have any more authority than possible.
Suit Against Councilman
C. T. Lambert of Cordova has brought
suit against Councilman Goodall of that
:ty to recover for the city money which
the plaintiff alleges Goodall received. The
complaint is that Goodall, as chairman of
the streets committee of the council, gave
himself a job at $10 a day to supervise the
sewer building. The complaint alleges that
a member of the city government has no
right to appoint himself to a salaried posi
tion with the council.
Mikado's Representative in Seward
T. Kitahara, special representative of the
emperor of Japan, arrived at Seward re
cently en route to the Pribiloff islands,
to join with a representative of Great
Britain and one of the United States in
studying ways and means by which the seal
herd can be protected and propagated. Mr.
Kitahara says that the representatives of
the three countries are not exactly to confer
with each other or form any pact regarding
the seals, but something like that might
result as a consequence of the meeting.
Ruby Wants a Bank
The Commercial Club of R.uby, after an
investigation, has decided that there is a
good opening in that town for a bank, and
it is inviting capital there to establish one.
The club thinks that $25,000 would be
enough capital.
Circle Operator Rewarded
For faithful service rendered and for
bravery during the Circle flood early this
spring, Corporal T. E. Gartrell, operator in
charge of the wireles* station at Circle, was
notified on July 2f> that General Scriven,
the chief signal officer of the United States
army, had promoted him to be a sergeant.
When Lieutenant Eastman visited Circle
after the Hood, the residents of the town
presented him with a petition setting forth
the good work done by the signal corps
man. and asking that he be rewarded for
his bravery. Lieutenant Eastman recom
mended that the corporal be promoted, and
the order was issued on July 16. During
the flood, while the station was in danger
and while more than four feet of water was
flowing through the building, Corporal Gart
rell stuck to his post, and in addition to
saving a great deal of government property,
succeeded in getting into communication
with the outside world in a very short time.
The Floating Court
On July 15 the revenue cutter McCul
lough. the “floating court,” started from
Valdez on its annual trip to the westward.
Court was to be held at Dillingham. Una
laska, Unga and Kodiak. The court offi
cials will leave the revenue cutter at Ili
arena, going across the lake to Kvichak
river and down the river to Naknek, and
from there to Dillingham. The trip after
they leave the revenue cutter will take
ahout a week or ten days. Court was sched
uled to convene at Dillingham on August 3
and will last as long as there is any busi
ness to come up before the court. One of
the cases to come before the grand jury
is the case of Gus Henning, who is held for
shooting Nicholi Engiak at Ugashak. Court
wall also be held at Unalaska. August 14;
Unga, August 19. and Kodiak, August 22.
The court officials who will make the trip
are Judge Brown. Clerk of Court Arthur
Lang. United States Marshal Brenneman,
Assistant District Attorney Whittlesey, Dep
uty Marshal G. W. Mossman and the
judge’s secretary, Isaac Hamburger. J. L.
Reed will make the trip also.
Mysterious Visitors
Dr. Thomas S. Carrington and M. R. Snif
fen, traveling as tourists from New York
in a small boat propelled by an Evinrude
motor, arrived in Ruby Wednesday and left
Thursday of last week. It is rumored that
they are on a tour of inspection, and are in
the employ of the government. They spent
some time at Fort Yukon and it is very
certain that they were gathering much data
concerning the native conditions, the mis
sions and government schools, as well as
eeneral information. It is understood that
Dr. Carrington has been in the Indian serv
ice in the States. However, they were very
reticent in the matter, and the rumor as
to the real purpose of their trip could not
be verified. Ruby Record-Citizen.
STATEMENT SHOWS BANK
IN PROSPEROUS CONDITION
The new territorial banking law. which
went into effect on July 28 last, provides
for the publication of a statement by the
banks doing business in Alaska at any time
that such statement is called for by the
territorial banking board. The statement
of the Miners & Merchants Bank of Idita
rod, published in another column, is the
first called for under the new law. It shows
the local financial institution to be in a
most satisfactory condition, and can be
taken as an index to general business con
ditions in this locality. The statement
shows deposits of approximately $210,000.
Under the law a statement may be called
for at any time by the board.
It will be noted that there has been a
change in the designations of the bank’s of
ficials. John Holmes is now vice president
of the concern and R. C. Button cashier.
“DR.” RODEN AT RUBY
(Ruby Record Citizen)
Henry 0. Roden was a passenger for Out
side from Iditarod on the Washburn last
Wednesday. Mr. Roden was elected coun
cilman at Iditarod last spring. He is an
old-timer of Iditarod, having been in the
employ of Joe Smith, a hardware merchant
of that city. He intends going to Medicine
Hat, Alberta, a city of about 30,000 in
habitants in the vicinity of the Calgary oil
strike. He will take in a complete stock
of hardware.
Mr. Roden says from latest private ad
vices there is a big stampede on to that
section, and he intends to get in on the
ground floor with his store.
He reports Iditarod very quiet, and states
that when about half the present popula
tion leave there may be a, chance for the
other half to make a living.
It is his opinion that there will be many
prospectors from that section come to this
camp to prospect during the coming win
ter, as the general reports from here are
good, and it stands better than ever before
in the opinion of mining men.
I When you come in from the creeks don’t
i forget to stop in at the Crosby and take
a hot air of vapor bath.

ANGUS MDONALD
FINED $1 AND COSTS
As the result of what is alleged to have
been a drunken carousal that terrorized the
residents of the restricted district of Flat
City last Saturday night or early Sunday
morning, in which windows were smashed
and other acts of lawlessness were said to
have been committed, a warrant was issued
for the arrest of Angus McDonald on com
plaint of Deputy Marshal A. II. Conlin of
the creek town. McDonald was arraigned
before Commissioner G. W. Albrecht and
the trial set for Thursday afternoon at 2
o’clock. The complaint charged assault and
battery on the person of Ruby McKee,
known in the underworld as “Della.” The
defendant, represented by W. F. Harrison,
put up a most strenuous defense, and took
advantage of every technicality possible,
but the jury, after a couple of hours' deliber
ation. brought in a verdict of guilty, with
a recommendation for “extreme clemency”
by the court.
The case was tried before a jury composed
of James Farrell. W. Thomas, J. Wilson,
Ray Henderson, J. E. Beattie, Frank Sny
der. Commodore A1 Lowe, H. Boas, E. J.
Smith, Vic Pierson, W. Acheson anti C. B.
Sims.
Mr. Harrison Objects
Mr. Harrison objected to the complaint
and attempted to call Deputy Marshal Con
lin to the stand to question him before the
witnesses for the prosecution were called.
He contended that the warrant was defec
tive for the reason that “probable cause”
was not shown, in that he had reason to
believe that Conlin had no personal knowl
edge of the alleged crime, and the law con
templated that a warrant must issue at the
instance of the actual accuser.
Charles E. Taylor, as special deputy dis
trict attorney, made an argument in re
futal, and Commissioner Albrecht held that
he must follow the law, its a commissioner’s
court was not competent to pass upon a
constitutional question.
Ruby McKee, alias “Della,” who said she
lived on a “prominent street” in Flat, testi
fied that early in the morning of Sunday.
August J. the window of her place was
broken from without, and that shortly after
ward McDonald, the defendant, attempted
to enter her cabin. She tried to prevent
him and he struck her in the' eye. The ap
pearance of her optic bore out the testi
mony to some extent. She related a con
versation had with McDonald on the morn
ing of the trial, in which she said he asked
her what she was going to testify to. She
told him and he said she could not prove
that he struck her. On cross-examination
she stuck to her story.
After calling one more witness the gov
ernment rested.
Some More Objections
Mr. Harrison then moved that the case
be dismissed on the ground that it had nut
been proven that the alleged crime was com
mitted within the jurisdiction of the court,
as it was not stated in the complaint where
Flat City was located. The motion was
overruled.
Deputy Marshal Conlin was then called
to the stand and identified hi< signature on
the affidavit of complaint. In reply to a
question of counsel he said he swore to the
complaint not on personal knowledge, but
on hearsay.
Mr. Harrison then moved that the infor
mation be quashed on the ground that it
was insufficient, as Conlin, the complain
ant. had sworn that the crime was commit
ted. when in reality he had no personal
knowledge thereof, and was therefore guilty
of perjury. He entered into an extended ar
gument, citing numerous authorities in be
half of his contention.
Mr. Taylor contended that the informa
tion was sufficient, and Commissioner Al
brecht denied the motion.
Witnesses were called by the defense to
prove that they had been in company with
McDonald all of the night in question, and
that he did not strike the woman, and that
it would have been impossible for him to
have done so without their seeing him.
The defendant was called to the stand to
deny the commission of the act complained
of, and the woman witness was called in re
buttal. after which the case was given to
the jury at 10:30 p. m.
After being out for two hours the verdict
of guilty was returned.
At noon Friday Commissioner Albrecht,
taking into consideration the recommenda
tion of the jury, sentenced McDonald to pay
a fine of $1 and costs, amounting to $123.
ALL IDAHO PARTIES
IN FAVOR OF PROHIBITION
Boise, Idaho. Aug. 1.—Planks favoring
state-wide prohibition have been incorpor
ated in the platforms of the Republican,
Democratic and Progressive parties of this
state. The Democrats were content with
recommending the submission to the voters
in 1916 a constitutional amendment.
The Progressives declared for that and a
statutory enactment for prohibition by the
next legislature.
The Republicans went on record for na
tional prohibition, prohibition by constitu
tional amendment and by statutory enact
ment in case of failure to get the amend
ment through the legislature.
Prohibition had been made the principal
issue. The hardest fight on the liquor ques
tion was made in the Democratic conven
tion, where it was finally carried by a ma
jority of 122 to 55.
Previous ballots taken on attempts to
exclude the question from the platform
gave the wets better returns. The vote of
the Republicans was 131 to 39; the Pro
gressives were practically unanimous.
LANDS AT FAIRBANKS
WITHDRAWN FROM ENTRY
Practically all land surrounding Fair
banks has been withdrawn from location,
sale, entry or other disposition by execu
tive order, which indicates to the satisfac
tion of its residents that that city will be
the point chosen by President Wilson as
the terminus of the railroad. This opinion
was expressed by a number of government
officials and attorneys who were consulted
concerning an order of withdrawal which
was received by the register and receiver
of the land office recently. The order with
draws practically all lands surrounding Fair
banks and Chena that have not been with
drawn heretofore, and at present the gov
ernment reserves the right to use all land
for miles around the confluence of the Tan
ana and Chena rivers.
The first executive order withdrawing
lands near Chena and along the Tanana
river was issued early in the spring, and
the order which has just been received en
larges the reserved area.
ALASKA GAME LAWS
WILL NOT BE MODIFIED
Delegate Wickersham has written the fol
lowing letter to the Nome Chamber of Com
merce relative to the request that the shoot
ing season for birds in Alaska be length
ened :
“Your telegram and letters about the
closed season for bird shooting has almost
disrupted the bureaus and agricultural de
partments. After incubating for some weeks
they have concluded that they will do
nothing, which I guessed at the beginning.
There is no difficulty to get laws, rules and
regulations restricting the people of the
Territory of Alaska in the-shooting of game
or breathing the fresh air, but any effort
to get a little more freedom along these
linos is met with an instant rebuff.
“I send you herewith a copy of a letter
which I have just received from the secre
tary of agriculture, in which he goes over
the’ situation fully and says he cannot do it.
The truth is the department is against any
more liberal game laws for bird shooting
in Alaska I doubt if there will be any
chance to get a change in these laws since
the department and bureau will strongly
oppose any more liberality, and 1 shall
certainly oppose any further restrictions.”
Following is a copy of the letter received
by Mr. Wickersham from the secretary of
agriculture concerning the request for a
longer open season:
“Referring to your letter of April 22, in
closing a copy of a communication from
the United States attorney at Nome, Alaska,
relative to a petition which has been for
warded to the department from residents
in Alaska asking for an extension of the
season for shooting birds in that territory,
I may say that serious consideration has
been given the whole question of bird shoot
ing in Alaska by the officers of the bureau
concerned, as well as by the solicitor of the
department and myself.
“I regret that it seems impossible under
existing laws to grant the petition. The
open and closed seasons were specifically
fixed by the act of congress approved May
11, 1908, and the law contains no provi
sion which would permit the secretary of
agriculture to shorten the closed season,
while the migratory bird law, which was
approved March 4, 1913, might possibly be
construed to permit the secretary of agri
culture to modify the regulations governing
bird shooting in Alaska, it is very doubtful,
and such a construction would I believe,
be contrary to the intent of congress.
“Even if such a construction were pos
sible, the secretary would have no authority
under the law to alter the provisions which
prohibit the shipment or sale of game dur
ing the closed season. If. therefore, the act
approved March 4, 1913, could be construed
to give the secretary of agriculture author
ity to extend the open season for shooting
hirds in Alaska, a serious conflict would
arise, and furthermore, it would open up
the whole question of spring shooting on
the Pacific coast.
“In view of the foregoing, the depart
ment has reached the conclusion that it
cannot do otherwise than decline to grant
the petition or make any modification in
the game regulations relating to Alaska. j
"In this connection, however, I would
call your attention to the fact that there ■
is a provision in the Alaska game law which ;
provides that nothing in the law shall pre
vent the killing of any game animal or
bird for food or clothing at any time by
natives or by miners or explorers when
in need of food, hut that the game animals
or birds so killed during the closed season
cannot be shipped or sold.”
Protection for Fur Animals
Under regulations issued by the depart- |
ment of commerce the hunting and killing i
of sea otter is prohibited until November 1,
1020, and beaver until November 1, 1918.
Closed seasons are also prescribed as fol
lows :
On land otter and mink, from April 1 to
November 15; on marten (American sable I,
from March 15 to November 15; on weasel
(erminet. from March 15 to November 15;
on muskrat, from June 1 to November 30;
on lynx (wildcat), from March 1 to No
vember 15, and on fox, from March 1 to
November 15.
The killing of black bear, wolf, wolverine,
squirrel and hare (rabbit ) is permitted at j
all times, and land otter and mink may be j
taken alive for breeding purposes at any
time except from April 1 to June 30. Mar
ten can also be taken alive for breeding
purposes except from March 15 to June 30.
The use of poison in the killing of fur
bearing animals is prohibited at all times, as
also is the killing of any animal whose
skin or pelt is not prime.
Heavy penalties are provided for viola
tion of the regulations.
HOW FRANCE LOST RANK
AS WORLD NAVAL POWER
Paris. July 25 - Admiral Sir Percy Scott’s
contention that the day of the big battle
ships has passed in favor of submarines is
regretted in naval circles here. The fact
is that France has experimented already in
the abolition of the big craft in favor of
the under-water fleet, and has suffered
greatly in consequence.
The school which believed that the doom
of the battleship was definitely sealed by
the advent of the torpedo first came into
official existence in France during the tenure
of Minister Aube, in the ’80s. At that time
the torpedo boat had not reached its pres
ent state of efficiency, but at least it pos
sessed the saving grace of comparative in
visibility, thanks to its small size. When
the size of the craft was increased it de
feated its own objects and brought into
existence the destroyer, especially designed
to fight it The Aube school was succeeded
by the Fournier school, which found its
official and an eloquent mouthpiece in M.
Camille Pelistan, who became minister of
marine. Under his unfortunate administra
tion France for a time lost her naval posi
tion, and took rank after the great powers
instead of leading in the wake of England.
Admiral Fournier was sensationally suc
cessful in theoretically torpedoing battle
ships and liners by the use of the subma
rine. He then came to the conclusion that
(he under water boat was the arm of the
future. This was readily seized upon by a
party in the state as an admirable excuse
for economy by suspending the construc
tion of large units and devoting the reduced
credits entirely to light cruisers and flo
tillas.

IMPORTANT MOVE OF
NAVIGATION COMPANY
CREATES INTEREST HERE
Seattle, July 14.- One of the most im
portant moves in the history of Alaska
transportation affairs was made yesterday
with the decision of the Pacific Alaska Navi
gation Company to send the vessels of its
fleet into Skagway. Invading a field for
which it has never sought business, the
Admiral line will route the vessels of its
northern service, bound for Western Alaska,
via Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau, Doug
las, Haines and Skagway.
The new service will be inaugurated with
the sailing of the steamship Admiral Ev
ans on July 25, which will leave for the
westward from Skagway instead of Juneau,
going to Katalla, Cordova, Valdez. Seward,
Port Graham, Seldovia, Knik Anchorage, on
Cook inlet, and Kodiak.
Gateway to Interior
The routing of the vessels of the Admiral
fleet via Skagway follows the purchase of
the Northern Navigation Company by the
White Pass & Yukon Company and the
establishment of the Southeastern Alaska
port as the great gateway to Fairbanks,
Dawson and other interior points.
St. Michael has been the important gate
way to interior Alaska, but with the pur- |
chase of the Northern Navigation Com
pany's fleet of river steamers by the White .
Pass & Yukon, passengers and freight ,
bound for Fairbanks, Dawson and other
points have been routed via Skagway, the I
White Pass & Yukon railway to White-i
horse ami down the Yukon.
It is also pointed out that the Alaska
Steamship Company recently invaded the |
Cook inlet country, which was only served
by vessels of the Pacific Alaska Navigation |
Company, and that the Admiral line is now
to extend ils route in Alaska Steamship
Company territory in retaliation.
Traffic Arrangement With White Pass ,
The announcement of the Admiral line’s
new service was made yesterday by Presi
dent H. F. Alexander, following a meeting
of the newly-elected board of directors of
the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company.
Mr. Alexander said that a traffic agreement
had been made with President 0. L. Dicke
scn of the White Pass & Yukon route in
regard to the handling of freight and pas
sengers delivered by the Admiral line at
Skagway and that tariffs from Seattle to
all interior Alaska points had been filed.
The annual meeting of the Pacific Alaska
Navigation Company, the Admiral line, was
held July 6 at Portland, Me. The directors
elected at that time included ^ Richard
Sutro of Sutro Bros., bankers of New York
city; Chester Thorne, chairman of the Na
tional Bank of Tacoma; William Jones, S.
A. Perkins and H. F. Alexander of Tacoma;
C. W. Wiley of Seattle, George Mair, man
ager of the Royal Bank of Commerce of
Windsor. Ont.; R. A. C. Smith, vice presi
dent of the American Surety Company and
the commissioner of the Docks and Ferries
Company of New York city ; M. A. Arnold
president of the First National Bank of
Seattle; J. D. Hoge, president of the Union
Savings and Trust Company of Seattle,
and E. A. Stuart, president of the Pacific
Condensed Milk Company of Seattle.
Alexander Re-elected President
The board of directors organized by the
re-election of President H. F. Alexander and
all of the other officers of the corporation.
To take care of its increased business on
the Seattle-California route the Admiral line
has leased the Folsom street dock at San
Francisco, abandoning the Howard street
wharf, which it has occupied for years.
The Folsom street, dock is one of the best
on the San Francisco water front. It has
railway trackage connecting with the San
Francisco belt line. The offices of the Ad
miral line have been established in a build
ing adjoining the dock.
UNIQUE VACATION
(Ruby Record-Citizen)
A. C. Slippern, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Slippern of this place, arrived here July 18
to spend his summer vacation at home with
his parents. A college chum, H. G. Schrei
ber, came in with him to spend the sum
mer in “far-away Alaska, where the mighty
Yukon flows.”
The boys are students from the Oregon
Agricultural College. Young Slippern is tak
ing a course in architecture, and has com
pleted his sophomore year. Schreiber is
taking mechanical engineering, having fin
ished his junior year.
There were 1,400 regular students at the
agricultural college and about 600 “extras
during the six weeks’ short court for farm
ers during the winter months.
The boys left Portland June 23, and
from Whitehorse came down in a small
boat. The run of 1,400 miles on the tur
bulent waters of the Yukon furnished them
with many thrilling experiences, the re
lating of which when they gather on the
campus again will make them the heroes
of the hour, and they expect quite a stam
pede of “co-eds” in their direction.
They expect to start on their return trip
in September, although they will not go
all the way to Seattle in a small boat,
on account of their limited time. But any
thing else in the way of experience they
are out for.

portrait and view work. See Clemons .t
