ROTH WAS IMPRESSED
District Attorney R. F. Roth spent a few
days recently viewing the mining operations i
at the head of Flat creek and adjacent j
streams. He was much impressed with what
he saw. Mr. Roth :< something of a student j
of geology', and the formation exposed at i
the Summit Association's workings inter
ested him intensely. “Ever since I have been ,
in Alaska," he s.ud, "I have been curious to
krow where the placer deposits come from,
and now I know. The whole process by !
which the rich deposits of Flat creek. Wil- j
low creek. Chicken creek and other streams j
"ere eroded and carried to the creek bot
toms is revealed at this interesting spot.” |
Mr. Roth visited at the various camps in
the vicinity, and found many old friends j
and acquaintances engaged in the mining i
operations. His stay was made so pleasant ■
that he extended his visit somewhat longer |
tban he had intended.

PROCEEDINGS OF DISTRICT COURT
The district court for the Fourth judicial
division of Alaska, special Iditarod term,
convened at 11 a. m. Monday. The princi
pal business of the morning session was
the calling of the calendar and the setting
of cases for trial. It developed that in sev
eral of the cases on the docket the parties
were deceased, in others the attorneys had
either moved away or had died, and an
effort will be made by the clerk to clear
j the record of these cases. In some of the
I suits expected to be tried at this term the
[ parties live at a distance, and it is possible
that the limitations on the time of the court
will prevent some of these cases from com
ing to trial at this term.
Liquor Licenses
Several applications for liquor licenses
I came up for consideration by the court,
I among these being that of A. B. Currie of
j Flat, which was granted, and of A. E. Bain
| of Discovery. The granting of the latter
| was held up for the present, it being stated
that it had the approval of the district at
torney. but that the approval of the mar
shal’s office was “somewhat qualified.” A
protest in this case was ordered filed. A. T.
Coslett of Fairbanks and George Marsh of
Iditarod were granted licenses.
New Commissioner at Nulato
Max M. Smith, United States commis
sioner at Nulato, having resigned, an order
has been made by Judge Bunnell appointing
' Frank W. Lamb to fill the vacancy.
Divorce Hearings
The case of W. F. Vanderpool vs. Annie
Vanderpool, for divorce, was heard on Mon
day evening. Default was entered against
the defendant. The granting of the decree
was taken under advisement by the court.
On Tuesday the divorce case of Jake
Mutchler vs. Emma Mutchler was heard by
Judge Bunnell. The defendant made no ap
pearance and the decree was granted.
In the case (J Fred Labelle vs. Mary La
belle, for divorce, default was entered against
the defendant, but the court considered the
evidence insufficient to warrant a decree. ,
The case was therefore continued and trans
ferred to the Fairbanks court.
i
A Confusing Title
In the course of remarks from the bench
Judge Bunnell called the attention of the
members of the bar to the fact that the
volume known as the “Compiled Laws of
1912" was liable to be confusing in its title,
and he warned them in referring to it in
legal documents that the above is its real
designation. Confusion has been caused by
this volume on account of the fact that the
cover title is “Compiled Laws of 1913,"
while in reality it is'a compilation of laws
of 1912, and is so styled on the title page
and in the folios.
Informations Qvashed
On Wednesday the informations in the
cases of the United States vs. Kelday, charg
ing larceny by baillee; United States vs.
Harry T. McLean, charging embezzlement,
and United States vs. Keno I'ujii, charging
malicious destruction of property, were
quashed by order of Judge Bunnell. In the
case of Kelday it was said that a settlement
satisfactory to the district attorney’s office
had been made. Harry T. McLean has re
cently been declared insane. Fujii had al
ready served considerable time in the fed
eral jail, and it is presumed that his pun
ishment was considered sufficient.
A long-standing case of the United States
vs. Joseph Campbell was also dismissed at
Disrtict Attorney Roth's request, it being
stated that Campbell was serving a life sen
tence for murder.
Court Notes
The date set by Judge Bunnell for hearing
oi naturaliation cases was set for Tuesday,
July 6, at 7 :30 p. m.
In the case of Claud Baker, trustee, vs.
the Marvel Creek Mining & Development j
Company an order has been issued allowing
leave to G. W. Albrecht to intervene.
A hearing in the case of Martin Webories j
vs. E. L. Byers, on appeal from the com- j
missioner’s court, was held on Monday, and
th«* case was taken under advisement.
The appeal case of S. Toroin vs. Riley &
Stetzer, from the commissioner’s court, was i
heard on Tuesday by Judge Bunnell, and
decision was reserved.

DOMINION LINER SUNK
WASHINGTON, Jiyie 30.—The Dominion
line steamship Armenian, loaded with horses
from Newport News for the British army,
has been torpedoed and sunk by German
submarine U-30, eight miles off the Cornish
cjiast, England. Twenty-nine persons lost
their lives, ten were injured, and sixteen
Americans are missing. The state depart
ment will make immediate inquiry regarding
the vessel, to ascertain whether she was
merely a freight steamship currying contra
band or was under charter to the British
government.
Sunk by Latest Type of Submarine
AVONMOUTH, July 2.—The crew of the
steamship Armenian claim that the sub
marine which sunk their vessel was one of
the latest of the new large craft.
Sinking Does Not Concern Us
WASHINGTON, July ^.—Ambassador
Page, at London, has notified the state de
partment that the Armenian was engaged
i British admiralty business, thus making
her torpedoing lawful.
British Press on Wrong Tack
LONDON, July 2.—The British press de
clares the Armenian was not in the service
of the admiralty.
BIG TIME
CO
The various committee intrusted with
the preparations for the celebration of the
Fourth of July in Iditarod report the plans
completed, the program prepared, and lack
ing only the final touches. There is every
indication that a splendid time will be en
joyed by the people of Iditarod and vicinity
on this occasion, and in many respects the
celebration will resemble that of a year ago,
which all- visitors and residents alike—pro
nounced one of the most enjoyable events
of the kind ever given in the North.
Owing to the fact that the holiday comes
on Sunday this year, the celebration will be
held on Monday, July 5.
The program prepared by the committee
will commence at 10 o’clock in the forenoon
with trap shooting for suitable trophies on
the grounds of the Iditarod Gun Club. This
e\ent is open to all, and should prove of
much interest.
At 1 o’clock in the afternoon the patri
otic exercises will be held at the Arctic
Brotherhood hall, which has been secured
for the occasion. These will consist of the
reading of the Declaration of Independence
by Mrs. Ray D. Clarke, followed by intro
ductory remarks by Mayor E. M. Stanton,
who will introduce the speakers of the ■
day, Judge Charles E. Bunnell and District j
Attorney R. F. Roth. By inadvertence the i
name of the latter was left off the posters
announcing the event.
The addresses of these gentlemen are
looked forward to with keen interest. Mr.
Roth is known to all former residents of
Fairbanks as an able and eloquent plat -
form orator, and no doubt he will con
tribute greatly to the enjoyment of the oc
casion. Judge Bunnell, who has made
friends of every resident of the district dur
ing his brief stay here, has the reputation
of being an orator of much force and ability,
and it is anticipated that with a theme such
a.-> is available for a patriotic celebration he
will be at his best. The exercises at the hall
should therefore furnish the most enjoyable
feature of the day's celebration. It is hoped
that the hull will be well filled to greet the
distinguished speakers.
The Sports
At the close of the exercises in the hall
the sports program will be taken up. and
for these liberal prizes have been offered.
The athletic events will be held rn First
avenue. These comprise the usual running
races for ladies and girls, men and boys,
and a nail driving contest for the ladies,
which is expected to excite keen competi
tion.
The River Sports
A special feature has been made of the
water sports, which proved so entertaining
to the crowds last year. These will consist
of a "water tournament,” the details of
which will be explained to the contestants
by Dick Button, a canoe race and swimming
contest.
Horse Racing, Too
A feature of the celebration which is ex- i
pected to attract a great deal of attention
is the mule race. In this event it is not at
all unlikely that the same riders who con
tested last year Earl Byers and Bert Thor
son- will again be pitted against each other,
as there is some jealousy between the two
as to their respective claims to supremacy
in this line.
A pony race for which there are some
fast entries has also been arranged.
In the Evening
At 9 p. m. will take place the free picture
show and dance. It is regretted that there
may be a disappointment in store for the
lovers of motion pictures, as Professor
Drapeau has not yet received his new films
from the Outside. They are expected any
day, however, and may yet be here in time.
Messrs. Hudson and Lowrie have been en
gaged to furnish the dance music, and this
is an assurance that the closing event of
the celebration will be an enjoyable feature.

IDITAROD DISCOVERY, OTTER
The celebration of the Fourth of July on
Monday next, July 5, at Flat City, will at
tract a large crowd of people. The fea
tures of the day are so diversified that j
there will be plenty of amusement for old i
and young. The arrangements committee j
takes pleasure iu announcing the fact that j
both Judge Charles E. Bunnell and Hon.
Rhinehart F. Roth will speak on that oc- I
casion. Their talks are sure to prove very j
interesting and highly instructive.
During the past few days in Flat City, j
while the citizens were not discussing the j
probable outcome of the baseball game and I
the big tug-of-war coutest, they were “sped- '
ing” about the forthcoming horse race be
tween George Mutchler’s famous old racer, I
Ignatius, and “Big F'reighter" Meacham’s j
fleet-footed nag. Ignatius, is one of the j
oldest “skates” in the territory, having come |
over the White Pass trail in 1897. He was j
not a very young horse at that time, aud j
had earned a very fair track record before I
hi emigrated north. The race is for a purse
of $1,000, which is now in the hands of A1
Currie at the Branch bar.
The big dance in Moose hall, under the j
n anngement of the local lodge of Moose,
will be the concluding feature ol the day. j
