SIZE OF OYEA. ALASKA.
Land Office Decides that Healey / Wilson's
Claim Is Not Valid

Washington. Dec. ga decision of
much importance has been made by Com
missioner Hermann of the general land
office, affecting the town of Dyea, Alaska.
The town site is claimed by Healy and
Wilson under the general law allowing 100
acres in Alaska for manufacturing and
trading purposes. These parties claim to
have made their location long prior to
any adverse right.
The commissioner rejects the applica-
ton for patent on n number of grounds
and says that the surety of the claim was
not regularly made. He says that new
survey is therefore necessitated and that
the case will come up on its merits.

arises, how the expense which is de-
clared to be county charge and payable
out of the general fund of the county
can be collected from any one individual
in the county or become a lien upon his
property. Clearly the only way to re-
plenish the general fund of the county is
by general taxation.
I'm the brief on behalf of the plaintiff
it is urged that it is to the interest of
the fruit growers of the state to have the
Matching beds of insect pests destroyed.
This is very true, and it might be added
it is to the interests of all, as we'll as the
fruit growers; but such considerations
cannot or should not Justify the courts
in upholding an enactment which is so
palpably contrary to fundamental law
as the one under consideration.
For the reason stated 1 feel myself
compelled to hold that the demurrer to
the amended complaint is well taken.
The demurrer will be sustained without
leave to amend
1t will be noted that under this ruling
the work of disinfecting contaminated
orchards is to be carried on and paid for
at the expense of the county and thus
while orchardists may not desire any at
tack from pests of any kind. they will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
their property will be cleansed at no
cost to themselves

defendant asked for continuance on
the ground that he desired the presence
of j. Feathers as witness. and he would
not return to the city before Monday or
Tuesday. The state also desires the
presence of Feathers. for he is charged
as a co-defendant with Davis, and SO
the case was continued until Wednes-
day.
r. A. Bird. the defautng secretary
of G. II. Griffith, attempted yesterday
to have the trial of his case continued
in Department one. The motion to con-
tinue was supported by an affidavit set
ting forth that owing to the defendant
not receiving money in time he had not
had time to prepare his case; also that
handwriting experts would be necessary
to pass upon the large number of checks,
and these had not had time to make
investigation. The motion was denied
and the case will come to trial on Tues
day next.
