VOLCANIC DUST FALLS
ON NORTHWESTERN
Str. Northwestern, Capt. Hunter,
returned from Uyak Sunday morning:
! at 6:30 and sailed south an hour later.
She made a special trip to Uyak with
cannery supplies for the Northwest
ern Fisheries Co. On her arrival here
her upper deck still had a slight
coating of very fine fine volcanic dust
which is still falling in the Kodiak |
district. The dust is so impalpably,
fine that it cannot be noticed in the
air but its continuous accum jlation,
the captain states, has made the
beaches and side hills gre\ in many
places. It is supposed to come from
Mt. Katmai.

THE T1LL1CUM CLUB
CASE POSTPONED!
VALDEZ, April 17. —Judge F. M.
Brown, of the district court, this
morning received a telegram from
Judge Jennings, of the First Division,'
in which the latter stated that he
would be unable to come to Valdez
this spring, and possibly not this
summer, as he had received instruc
tions from the Attorney General to
remain in Juneau and try the Krause
cuscs.
In connection with this telegram,
Judge Brown stated that the cases,
for which the jury had been partic
ularly drawn, would not come up at
this term of the court, and the date
for trial was uncertain. This state
ment is presumed to mean, although
the cases were not specified by the
court that the Tillicum Club cases,
which were set for early in term,
would not come up for hearing until
Judge Jennings could be excused from
duty at Juneau. Eight indictment? (
have already been returned against ^
Krause, and others are pending, soi
the date at which Judge Jennings will
! be able to get away is indefinite.—
! Prospector.
