TACOMA, Nov. st. E. P. Keegan
has returned to Tacoma on the steamer
Jefferson from Taku harbor, Alaska
where he has been since early last
summer as superintendent of the re-
frigratOr plant owned by the Pacific
Cold Storage company of Tacoma. The
federal court was in session in Ketch-
ikan when Mr.. Keegan left, and all
the gamblers there were indicted, he
says.
Heavy fines were imposed against
the many gambling houses. One saloon
keeper had to pay $1,000 and another
was assessed $500. The house that
had only one game was fined $3.50.
Many of the saloons had more than
one game running and they were fined
$3.50 for the first game, $3.50 for the
second and 500 each for the others.
court informed them that it would go
hard with them if they were brought
up again. 1t is the opinion in Alaska
that this movement against gambling
will be carried throughout the terri
tory and that all public gambling will
be stopped"
Speaking of the fishing business,
Mr.. Keegan says that herring were
unusually scarce. One reason for this
may be that so many Of the little
fish are used as a fertilizer plant at
