coming for the Weveic c meat of
Mining Proiiertiee.
“Seattle Is exceedingly dry," said
George White, who just returned oil
the Admiral Kvaus from a business
trip to the States," and the strange
part of it is that the sentiment, par
ticularly among those who formerly
used liquor the most, is to keep it
dry.”. ' ' ,
Mr. White states that business is
exceptionally good in the states, and
that there is considerable interested
manifested in Alaska, with indica
tions thpt there will be much capital
seeking investment in the territory
during the coming summer.
In Seattle, money is bringing such
large returns in the local field that
mining Investments are not attractive
at this time, steamships being the
most sought form of investment ow
ing to their unusually large earning
capacity due-to the exorbitant freight
rates prevailing.
Mr. White says that the outlook
for the copper and gold 'fields in this
vicinity is exceedingly bright.

CITY COUNCIL

-- <fi,
Petersburg Packing Company Secures
an tinier tiestraining City Council
itoin Paying Warrants Alleged to
He Illegally Issued.
Judge Jennings of the First Divi
sion has made an order citing the mu
nicipal officers of Petersburg to ap
pear in open court on the last day of
April, at 10 o’clock, and show cause
why a temporary restraining order
against them paying money on city
warrants should nJt be made perma
nent. L
The piaintm is the f-etersnurg
Packing Company. It claims the city
i3 about to pay over money ou war
rants which were illegally contracted
because the city was in debt when the
warrants were ordered paid. The,
compand asserts it is acting in be
half of itself and numerous other tax
payers.
The complaint is entitled the Pet
ersburg Packing Company vs. the
Town of Petersburg, S. L. Hogue,
Jacob Johnson, James Brennen, John
Bruce, George Duryea and Peter Jor
genson as members of the common
council; Dr. Lee Pryer as councilman,
and ex-officio mayor. Chris Tveten,
city treasurer; Thos. Elsmore, clerk,
and S. L. Hogue and Chris. Tveten,
individually and as member of the,
firm of Hogue & Tveten.
The complaint alleges that on Jan
uary 18, 1916, an agreement was en
tered into by the council for a Deisel
engine and equipment, used to oper
ate the electric light plant, valued at
$3,173, the sum of which was to be
paid to Hogue & Tveten. Between
February 1 and 22. 1916, it is al
leged the council resolution issued
a warrant for $3,000 without specify
ing wliat the warran. was for and
that thereafter the mayor and clerk
signed a warrant ^><^$2,500. to draw
10 per cent, interest, without specify
ing what It was for.
It is alleged that January 18. 1016,
the council was without authority to
incur the indebtedness, all of which
the councilmen knew, as otherflebts
were pending, and continues:
“That the acts and things herein
tofore alleged were illegal and un
lawful and a violation of the general
law's governing the Territory of Alas
ka, and particularly of Sections 628
and 629 of Chapter 21, of the com
piled laws of the Territory of Alaska.
1913.”
It is further alleged that unless re
-trained the council will pay to the
firm of Hogue & Tveten the warrants
■ n violation of the law which does not
permit Alaska municipalities to incur
an indebtedness above and over their
current revenues. The plaintiff avers
:lint it is a taxpayer and that it is
bringing suit in behalf of itself and
other residents and taxpayers too nu
merous to he included in the suit. -
In making the order to show cause
Judge Jennings requires the plaintiff
to file a bond of $3,000 as a matter
of good faith and for costs and dam
ages In cast; the suit is decided In
favor of the city.
Mrs. E. D. Reiter, wife of E. D.
Reiter of this city, and two sons, will
come to Valdez the latter part of May,
and will make their home here. They
are now in Davenport, Washington,
and are only awaiting the close of the
school year to come.

DE-AIjCHOLIZED WINE
IS A NEW PRODUCT
DealchoUsed wine is described in
1,’Italia Agricola as a new product
of the .wine industry. This beverage
is quite different from the unferment
ed grape juice. It is made from ordi
iry wine, and contains all the coin
I
ponentB of the latter except alcohol,
including ethers and aldehydes to
which its pleasant taste and stimu
lating properties are due. It also
contains the same acids, and es
pecially tannic acid, which has been
found to excercl86 a protective action
against the germs of cholera and
typhus.
