Fred Raap to Fill
Gaps in Police Force
The council put another man on the job at their meeting last
Wednesday night and the city will now be policed by night as well
as by day. Chief O’Connor will have the assistance of a good man
in the person of Fred Raap, who has been fire watchman at Flat
during the winter.
The action was taken because it was deemed necessary to pro
vide additional police protection to keep pace with the augmented
population of the city. There was some wrangling as to salaries,
but a motion tinally carried to make Raap’s salary $250, the under
standing being that O’Connor’s salary will be raised to $1100 if the
council find that the funds will permit.
City Attorney Roden was instructed to make an investigation
and estimate of the probable resources of the city, as it is appar
ently the intention to raise the salaries of both the city attorney
and the city clerk. Their work has been exceedingly onerous up
to date, stai-ting the city on its way, and there is a feeling among
the councilmen that they are not being paid enough. An ordin
ance will doubtless be passed next week, making changes in salary
allotments and providing for the appointment of more assistants
at the fire-hall.
Dr. Pohl Summoned;
Death at Fairbanks
After an illness of little more than three weeks, Dr. Emil
Pohl passed away at St. Matthew’s hospital, Fairbanks, May 16,
at 11 o’clock, from a complication of brain and heart trouble.
Although Dr. Pohl had been sick for about three weeks, he
had been in hospital but two weeks, and thf sad news of his death
came as shock to his many friends and acquaitances in Alaska,
who were not aware of the nature of his illness.
He returned from a trip to the Outside during the past winter,
and had been back but a few months when he was struck down by
the illness from which death resulted.
The wife of the deceased, who is in Portland, was notified of
the serious nature of the illness and was later advised of his
death. No disposition will be made of the remains until Mrs.
Pohl is heard from.

united in the bonds of matrimony un
der tho careful guidance of Commis

place at the home of Mrs. Garcken,
and was witnessed by some thirty
guests, many of whom had come in
from the creeks to take part in the
happy event.
uoth parties are well known here,
the bride being particularly esteemed

Mr. Chesley, of t.he firm of Chesley,
Ryan Sc Kehoe, is a widely know busi
ness man both of Fairbanks and Idit
arod, and has many friends to con
gratulate him on his good fortune.
Following the ceremony there was
feasting and dancing and a pleasant
patty did not break up till a late hour.

j Successor to Mrs, F, i Stevens, Front St,
Johnstone in Unexpected Luck
Believing that his building andj
stock, destroyed in the big fire of,
April 4, which took the whole block
on the north side of First street was a
total loss, J. I. Johnstone, proprietor
of Johnstone’s pool and billiard hall,
met a most agreeable surprise when he
opened his mail and learned that his
insurance had reached New York the
day before the fire occurred.
In other words Johnstone now finds
himself $4,500 in when he thought he
was atl out, or he gets enough to pay
for his new building and suddenly dis
covers himself in the interesting role
of one about to make a comfortable
little homestake.
It is believed that he alone of the un
fortunate sufferers was lucky enough
to get in under the wire.
The Snyder house at Flat city has
donned a new spring dress and is now
ready to accommodate the expected in
flux of visitors. In addition to the
place being completely renovated
throughout, five more rooms and 24
new bunks have been added, while
mushers over the trail will find a large
drying room, a convenience to be ap
preciated. _
