NEWS NOTES
J. W. Pritchet who has been here
for some time will leave on the Alas
ka to take a position with the Cor
t dova Alaskan.
The name of ”W. James” appears
on the Farragut passenger list but
this may be a mistake for Bennett
James who intended to leave for Sew
ard about this time.
Dune Little has arrived from Kenai
after quite an absence.
Freni Tracy is expected to arrive here
on the Alaska. *
Francis Hancock will leave soon to
take charge of the Horseshoe copper
mine near Latouche.
Other names have been mentioned
recently as likely candidates for the
city council but so many false alarms
have been sent out that it has been not
worth while asking the men whose
names are mentioned. Some of the
present council will declare them
selves candidates, without doubt, but
only if they find their election is sure.

II from living in the same blocks ami
jj would compel white persons to move

I living in blocks in which the majority
of the residents are white. Should

interests opposed fo the pit)posed law,
will attack it as unconstitlttiona,, they
said today, on th* ground that it »s
discriminatory.
