siderably More Revenue Than

fund, making grand total of $2,105,-

the school fund an increase of $50, pa +,
the military fund decrease of 1924 ,4S9,
while the levy as made for the interest

crease in the amount of state taxes to
be raised is 1921, $40 over the year

$17, S39, 257; total, 1915. 9SS, 500 This
total is less by $50, SO, 372 than the to-
tai valuations returned by the county
boards, and is An increase of $16,O43,
431 over the state valuations fixed last
year.
The schedules of the board show an
incease in the railroad mileage of the
state of 157 miles 1852 feet over last
year, and an increase in valuation of
81 ,450, 957, or a total OF 500, 055, 6l6,
including rolling stock.
Following is the schedule prepared
by the board, showing the total amount

quired to pay under the new levy and
the amount the counties will pay to
each fund:

LAST SPIKE is DRIVEN.
Railroad From Yukon to Goa
Creek Mines Completed.


Seattle, Sept. 19.-The Post Intelli-
gencer's Dawson correspondent, under
date of Sept. 4, writes:
The last spike i'll the now railway
from the Yukon river to the Coal Greek
Coal Company's coal mines near Forty
Mile town was driven yesterday by
President ]. A. Williams.
Shipments of coal will be made from
the new mines over the road to the Yu.
kou river, thence by steamer to Daw-
son. Shipmenls will be begun imme-
diately. Several thousand tons of coal
will be landed in Dawson before the
close OF navigation this year.
Falcon Joslin, of Seattle, and j. A
Williams are the owners of the new
road. Williams is president also nj
the Dawson Electric Light and Power
Company, supplying the city and big
circuit on the klondike creeks. Re-
garding the new railway, Williams says
The road is eleven and one-hali
miles long. In its construction we
have disbursed $3.50 900, two-thirds of
which has been ia labor. The money
for labor virtually has gone into the
hands OF the people of the vicinity and
should 90 far toward grubstaking many
who are here prospecting and helping
develop the North.
I'VE expect to land the first coal
IRON the mines at Dawson next week.
We have acquired site on the water
'front.' OF Dawson in the north end of
the city for coal bunkers, but will not
erect them until spring."

RICHARDS INDICATED.
Charges Against United States Mar
shall Not Sustained

C0ar&oS Against u nttcu OSStOS AAoE
shall Not Sustained
Washington, Sept. 21.-In view of a
preliminary report made to the depart
ment of justice by the examiners sent
out by that department to investigate
the charges that were brought against
United States Marshal Frank M. Rich
ards, at Nome, Alaska, it looks as if
that official is to be indicated and the
charges quashed. Marshal Richards
was appointed to his present position
two years ago, on the recommendation
of the Washington delegation.
The examiners, who have been at
Nome all summer looking into the
charges against Richards, report that
they are unable to find any evidence
that is damaging to him in any way.
They did conclude that he was paying
an excessive rent for the Jail, and, on
their recommendation the rent has
been reduced to 81 800, but even az to
this the examiners say they found moth
ing to indicate that Richards has made
money out of the renting of the Jail
or the feeding of the prisoners. as had
been alleged.
1t Will be recalled that last spring
twelve memb OF the grand jury re-
ported against Richards and twelve in
his favor, after making an investiga-
ton of his administration. Out of this
came the charge that Richards had
tempered with the jury and won some
others over to his side. The examiners
secured statements from fifteen jurors,
under oath, and all testified in his favor.
1t is rather significant that the de-
partment of justice declines to make
public the preliminary report of the
investigation into the charges against
District Attorney Melvin Grigsby, of
Nome.
