Jarvis is any prophet, Jarvis is
the man who last week declined
the governoship of our arctic pro-
vince. He probably knows more
about the real conditions in Alaska
than any other man. He was the
hero who led the relief expedition
to the whalers imprisoned by the
ice at Point Barrow, and for years
has been President Roosevelt's
chief adviser as to appointments
and policies for the territory.

the purpose of pushing the claims
Of the residents Of this locality to
public improvements. At a former
meeting at Mr.. Duffleld's house, Mr..
Hill was elected chairman, and Mr..
Steffer secretary. One Of the main
points at issue is the placing of
electric lights at the corners of the
streets in that section. They are
badly needed at present owing to
the steady increase in the number
of new houses being erected and
the poor lighting facilities.

fRENChMAN AND
HIS CARES

For the theft of a watch, Lewis
Morrell was sentenced by Judge
Poindexter this afternoon to two
months in the county Jail and also
to serve out fine of $50 Morrell
is a French chef, who had been
working for an engineer corps near
Pace. He came to town to see Sno-
kane by gas light and the result
was that he landed in the bastile.
In the original French way, talk
ing half of the time with his hands,
Morrell related his adventures with
certain ladies' of the demi monde,
telling how he had been enticed in
to the room of two of them, piled
with liquor and how one of the wo-
men had left her watch upon the
bed. Louie wanted her company
and as she got up and left him and
showed no signs of returning, he
left the room, taking the watch
with him. He was quietly ruminat-
ing On a street corner when he was
taken to the police station and
bound over to the superior court.
Judge Poindexter said the case
should have been handled in the
lower court, as there was doubt as
to the price of the watch, and
whether or not it was of the value
of $50 making 1t grand larceny.
He sentenced Morrell under the
petit larceny statute.
