Member of Engineering Commission
To Bring Forty-five Employes
—Go To Ship Creek.
SEATTLE, April 16.—Lieut. Mears
of the Alaska engineering commis
sion, which is to build the govern
ment railroad in the north, leaves
here on the steamer Mariposa for
Ship Creek witn forty-five employes
of the commission.
Mr. Mears had hoped to leave on
the Admiral Evans last night but
the large amount of uncompleted
business caused him to delay his de
parture north. The party will go di
rect to Ship Creek on the Mariposa
leaving next Sunday to start the work
of organizing the different depart
ments which will take care of the
work the commission plans for this
summer.
It is. now definitely decided *hat the
efforts of the engineers will be direct
ed towards the construction \of a
road from Ship Creek to the Mata
nuska coal fields. Little will be done
on the Seward road except to place
the line in condition to allow for the
use of the gasoline speeder over the
road and the transportation of such
freight as the commission may need
or the mining operators along the
railroad may desire.

Business Men Make Plea In Vain—
Majority Needed To Allow Sa
loons To Be Open.
A number of business men waited
upon Judge F. M. Brown, of the dis
trict court, last night and requested
him to rescind the order he recently
made in the mattes of taking a cen
sus of the people when an application
for a saloon license is applied for.
The business men urged the judge to
allow the old method to remain in
force until after the election in the
territory upon “wet” and "dry” shall
have indicated the desires of the peo
ple of Alaska.
Judge Brown, however, refused to
make any change in his order, which
provides that instead of the saloon
men circulating a petition for a group
of saloons that the commissioner
shall appoint two fair and impartial
citizens to secure an expression of
the desires of the people under the
federal statute which requires that
before a liquor license shall be grant
ed the applicant shall receive the ap
proval of a majority of the male and
female citizens living within two
miles of the proposed saloon. The
applicants will then be granted a li
cense if the majority favor it, and
no license will be granted if it is
opposed by a majority of the citizens.
The order, however, does not take
from the judge the authority to refuse
an applicant should it appear that it
would be against public policy to al
low the applicant to conduct a li
quor business in the district. The
judge will continue to investigate each
applicant and unfit saloonkeepers will
be refused a license.
