 Uncle Joe's sin consists in his an,. nounced support of the bill now pur- posed to allow interstate shipments ofliquor. The Methodists assert that. Ihe proposed Legislation is in the in- terest of liquor dealers and that ita success will greatly nullify the gains mado by the temperance people.

OSCAR SAIL AT
 WORK AS PACKER
Alone, Missing Resident of Valdez Arrives in Cordova
 by River Route

Under the namo of Oscar Nelson, Oscar Sall is working as a packer for contractor Heney of tho Copper Riv- or Northwestern. Sall, or at the least the man supposed by Deputy Marshal Dooley of Cordova to be Sall, is out on the right-of-way and Dooley is to seek an interview with him for the purpose of proving whether or not the belief as to identity is corroct..
 In n message to Charlie Wulff Doo- ley says that Sall came down the Copper river alone in boat. This does away with the belief that Sall left Valdez on tho Portland and it is now believed that he walked out of town and mushed across to the river. Sall Is an expert riverman.
 Dooley further sends word that q man in Cordova is preparing to de- mand the $50 reward offered for in- formation leading to tho discovery of Sall. AS soon as Dooley verifcs or disproves the belief that Sall is the man in question friends of Sall will have him brought to Valdez for it is believed that unless he is mentally unbalanced he would never have ab- sented himself in such q mysterious manner.

 "Balaine is a crook and robber. He sold large !. blocks of preferred stock before the present management took holC of the road and we have no knowledge of what became of the money thus raised. Ballaine is suf- fcring from egototismania.

ALASKA CENTRAL N0T.
 ID RESUME THIS YEAR
President Frost Briefly Outlines Plans of Bondho1d CTS, Then Turns his Attention to Judge Reid
 and Ballaine Calling the Latter Crook.

Seward need not hope to sec any Central this year, and possible there will be nothing done in the way of advancing construction during 1909. Such is the statement made in Val dez Sunday by President A. c. Frost, who is passenger on the Pennsylvania, and who is bound for the town on Resurrection bay from whence he will go into the Mata- nuska coal country.
 To a representative of the Pros pector President Frost said that the next move in the affairs of the rail road will be to ask Judge Reid to vacatc the rcceivcrship and as soon as this is done the bondholdcrs wilt foreclose the mortgage. After this will come reorganization and then the resumption of construction opera tions. President Frost declared that there is no doubt as to the ultimate result; it will be the building of the Alaska Central to the coal fields, if no further.
 In his discussion of railroad affairs President Frost placed upon John F. Ballainc, the promoter and one of the stockholders, the entire blame for present conditions. He also criti- cized Judge Reid for granting the ap- plication for the rcccivcrship with out giving the management an op- portunity to contest such proceedings. In part President Frost said
 '"The Alaska Central is not now and never was in need of d receiver. It owes nothing aside from the amount secured by mortgage, an amount of $4,000,000. The action of Judge Reid in appointing a receiver upon the representations made by Ballainc is to mo a remarkable and almost unprecedented procedure. We shall, upon the opening of court, ask for vacation of this receivershiD and then the bondholders will take steps to forccloSc the mortgage. This means that it may be year and half before anything is done in the way of construction.
 "Ballaine!" This in answer to
