call the attention of the public

property holders should have their
original deeds compared with the

imperfectly indexed and provision
should be made to re-index them.
We wish to extend our thanks
and appreciation to your Honor

received during our deliberations.
Respectfully submitted,

MISSION CRUISER HERE
ON MIEN VOYAGE
(From First City News)
The Presbyterian Mission yacht
Princeton, in charge of David Wag
gonner, of Juneau, reached port,
last night after a flying trip from
Seattle.
Despite the bad weather encoun
tered the Princeton made the run
co Ketchikan in a total of 77 run
ning hours; an average of 8.1
knots per hour. At that, Mr. Wag
goner says that, it being her
maiden trip, he kept the engine
running at about 40 revolutions
pe minute below normal speed
all the time. ^
The Princeton is a beautilul lit
tle vessel, just under G5 feet long,
and is powered with a GO h. p.
Wa^hington-Estep diesel. She ii
splendidly equipped throughout;
having complete pilot house con
trol, Areola heating system, hot
and cold running water, powerful
anchor hoist driven off the main
engine, a fine electric plant with
auxiliary engine, an oil burning
range, and, in fact, “all the com
forts of home.”
Built at the West Waterway
Shipyard from the plans by Lee
& Brinton, she was launched the
24 of last month. After being
christened by Mrs. Gene C. Gould
a beautiful dedication service was
held, during which the burgee was
broken out by Raymond G. Wright
of Princeton University, and the
christening prayer was offered by
Rev. Clinton Green, of the same
institution.
Mr. Waggoner expresses himself
as delighted with the sea*
worthy qualities of the new vessel,
and is especially pleased with the
performance of the Washington
Estep diesel.
The Princeton will remain in
port until after the arrival of Mr.
Hawkesworth, who is due on the
Victoria. She will leave tomorrow
with Mr. Jonathan Wagner, Mr.
Hawkesworth, and a party to at
tend the convention at Hydaburg
which opens Monday. She will
stop en route at Metlakatla.
WHAT IS A BRIDE
“The bride,” according to a
reporter, “is a young lady of
wondrous fascination and remark
able attractiveness, for with manners
as enchanting as the wand of a
siren and a disposition a: sweet
as the odors of flowers and spirits
as joyous as the carolling of birds
and mind as brilliant as the tresses
that glitteringly adorn the brow of
winter and with heart as pure as
dew drops trembling in violets,
she will make the home of her
husband a paradise of enchantment
like the lovely home of her girl
hood, where the heaven toned harp
of marriage with its harp of love
striking the cords of devotion and
fond endearments sent forth the
sweetest strains that ever thrilled
the senses with the rythmic puls
ing of ecstatic rapture.”
ALIENS BEARING ARMS
George Anshi, a Ja])ano c, of
Petersburg, Alaska, was re ently
fined $50.00 and given a sentence
of sixty days for having possession
of fire arms without a permit, he
being an alien.
/_ __ ■" -
Ivor Gunnorson, of Petersburg,
was also fined $25.00 and costs for
having fire arms in his possession
without a permit he being an alien.
Ivor was lucky. If he had been a
mere Jap, he might have been
sent to jail as well. Peculiar jus
tice is being dispensed in Peters
burg.
