CORONER'S JIIRV
FINDS SUICIDE
WAS CARLSON
ANCHORAGE, August 2. — The
coroner’s jury composed of J. H.
Smith, A. S. Koch, S. J. Kennedy, S.
S. Soper, J. J. Sherlock and T. R.
Nagle, impaneled to serve at the in
quest over the body brought in from
Big Rabbit creek yesterday found that
the body was that of John Carlson
and that he came by his death by his
own hands. Mr. Carlson was a native
of Sweden and 85 years of age and
there is no doubt but what the man
was mentally unbalanced.
According to a w it ness it seems
that Carlson was put off the govern
ment launch Alaska at Rainbow creek
and acted strange to the men around
the railroad camp at that place. He
was found looking into different bags
and grips, presumably after a pistol
and was called a thief by one of the
men; his remarks to this name show
ed conclusively that he was intent up
on suicide, as he said. “It doesn’t make
any difference what you call me, for
1 will be dead this time tomorrow.*’
This was on July the oOth and the
jnext*morning he was found hanging
by a rope from a tent frame. The
death was instantaneous as his neck
was broken ami the body was buried
yesterday afternoon at the govern
ment cemetery, under the direction of
the Wood Undertaking company. - Kx.

FIRE PROOF _ 1
TV/TADE of indestructible Asbestos (Rock) Fibre
and Trinidad Lake Asphalt, the great weather
proofer, J-M Asbestos Ready Rooting is literally a
pliable stone. Fire, acids, gases, chemical fumes,
heat or cold have no effect upon it. It is therefore
practically indestructible.
And because of its stone nature, J-M Asbestos
Rooting never needs painting or graveling. Its first
cost is its only cost. Asbestos being a non-conductor
of heat and cold, this rooting keeps a building warm
in winter and cool in summer.
Think what a protection J-M Asbestos Rooting would
be to your building and what is would save you in paint
and repair bills! It is adapted for any building anywhere.

BRITISH KICK IS
REGISTERED—FISH
BILL IS HELD Ul’
JUNEAU, July 25.—Because of the
protest of the British government no
el fort will be made at this session to
%
pass the law for the protci*S.n of the j
Alaska halibut fishermen, says ad
vices from Washington received here
today. After conferences between
the officials of the department of com
inerce, state, and treasury, a proposed
^ till was drafted providing that no
fresh or frozen salmon or halibut
caught in Alaskan waters should be
idmitted to the United States from a
foreign country except in bond from
a United States port.
The effect of this proposed law
would have been to send ail the salmon
and halibut to Ketchikan, Alaska, in
tended for transportation to eastern
destinations over the Grand Trunk^
Pacific to destinations in the eastern j
part of the United States. It would
have been necessary to send the fish
by boat from Ketchikan to Prince Ku
pert, the western terminal of the
Grand Trunk Pacific.-- Kx.
