Because of the fact that the appro- priation for the Alaska exhibit at the A.-Y.-P. exposition was not available until last fall, the work of gathering an exhibit in the interior has not pro- gressed very far Commissioner Jack Mcbride has dispatched C. l.. An drews, formerly connected with the customs service in Alaska, to work that part of the country.
 The will of the late Alexander Me- Donald, the former Klondike king, which has just been filed, shows he owned POO placer claims near Dawson at the time of bis death. Fifty of these, near Dawson, are valued at per haps Sl5,OO0; others on Clear creek, in the Stewart district, are being pros pected as dredging propositions and their values are uucertaIu. Ills assets outside the Stewart claims aggregate about S35,000, offset by debts of about the same amount Nothing is shown in the pr obate papers yet whetDer he had any proper ty side. He once owned fiue residence in Tacoma a1d rich coal fields in Alberta. The will was filed ten years ago when he was worth millions, wherein be provided mostly for his wife and children. Mcdonald once refused Sll, 100000 for his Klon- dlke interests.
 From Unga comes story of outrage and murder committed Christmas eve, with young native woman as the Vlc- tim. The crime was committed at Pirate Cove, fishing village seventeen miles from Unga. Meager details so far received regarding the affair are to the effect that Nellie Kalugan, young native woman was killed, and an at tempt made to burn the body. The charred remains and evidence showing the details of the crime were found the next morning by the natives. The identity of the murderer has hot yet been learned, and as there is at present no marshal in the precinct, no steps have been taken toward experimenting the guilty one. The murdered woman was a one-armed native, about 20 years old. She was we'll known around Unga. Twenty fshermen.are employed during the winter at Pirate Cove, and it is be- lieved that one or more of them were guilty of the crime.
 The annual report of the Dawson fire department has just been completed by Chief J. A. Lester. The loss of prop erty by fire during the year 1908 was the lowest in the history of Dawson; it aggregated but S63750, and reflects great credit on the efficiency of the de- partment. A total of fortyfour alarms were answered, and twenty-three hours spent in working at fires, showing that the splendid record was not altogether made without real work. The heaviest loss of property since incorporation of the town in 1902 was in 1904, when the grand aggregate was s1S2,0O0. The fire department force now comprises eight men, inclusive of the chief, and has in service one team of horses which draws a combination chemical engine and hose rig. All water service is from high h-pressure fire hydrants, and fire engines are discarded. Expenses for the year were s4o,S44.72, of which, s22,- 835 was for salaries, s13,5so for fire hydrant service, and s4,329.72 for main tenance and repairs.

Recent arrivals at Dawson from the


 Fortymile country report considerable activity this winter on both sides of the line. The busiest creek is Jack Wade, where there are more men em- ployed and more claims being devel- opod than at any time in the last five years. The upper Fortymile is not so lively, although the entire country is staked and held for speculative pur- poses. The character of the assessment work done is said to consist for the most part in af1davits.
 A cabin on Dome creek caught fire one night last mouth. It was occupied by mum Der of Russians who were all abed when the fire started. All they could do was to rush out of the burn- ing building as they were, and with bare feet. They ran quickly to 8 nearby cabin, and the place they left was a total loss. They could not even re- cover their shoes or street apparel or bedding-in fact, nothing was saved. One of the men lost $500 in cash, and another S1OO in postofice money or ders.
 A recent grand jury in session at Fairbanks included among the recon mendations Of its final report the ap- proval of the Australian ballot for Alaska elections, an increase in the salaries of the district judges, district attorneys and assistant district attor' neys; suggested that the governor ap- point game wardens to see that the game laws are strictly enforced; and also recommended that the government establish and maintain home for the old and inf1rm prospectors of Alaska, who may otherwise become objects of charity.
 There is no question about it, adver- Using is an art. When the Sitka Alas kan was alive, an energetic citizen of that burg used it's columns to adver- tise the fact that he was prepared to administer to the wants of the people in anything from prayers to pills. Now the Cordova Alaskan has an announce ment to it's readers in behalf of the Panama Laundry which reads thusly: q don't bathe Nero in Olive Oil soap and 1 don't need a hammer or 'Fels Naptha dope,' but will do better work with any old soap Mrs. Sharts.

 Foreclosure proceedings against the Alaska Central railway, started by the Trust and Guarantee Company, of Gan ada, holder of first mortgage bonds against the railroad, are to be opposed by the Alaska Central company. At torneys representing the company have filed demurrer to the complaint in bankruptcy made by the Trust and Guarantee Company, and prolonged legal fight for possession of the prop erty will probably ensue. The grounds of the demurrer are that the trust company has not legal capacity to act, and that several causes of action are improperly united in the complaint. It was the intention of the Trust and Guarantee Company representatives to close up the affairs of the railroad by March and sell the property under foreclosure proceedings. The demurrer will prevent such action unless Judge Reid dismisses it.

HOW ALVIN STRAUSS
 WAS INJURED
Tulane University Weekly Says Acci' dent in Which Pine Bluff Boy Was Hurt Was the First Serious Nis. bap There in Twenty Years.

The Tulane Weekly, a publication issued at Tulane University, New Or leans, gives the following account Of the accident which befell Alvin Strauss, of this city, while experi- menting in the medical department there few days ago.
 Alvin Strauss, first year medical student, met with an accident Thurs day evening, which may prove very serious. He was working in the chemical laboratory and was engageI in heating a solution of hydrochloru acid and zinc chlotide. This solution tion was allowed to boil too long with the result that almost all the contents of the test tube bubbled into Mir. Strauss right eye. He was i'm mediately taken to the Touro by sev- eeral of the medical students and re- ceiyel prompt medical attention.
 From first appearances 1t vas thought that there was no chance for the eye, but 1t later developed that there is a slight hope that It may yet be saved.
 This is the first accident of such serious consequence that has hap pened in Tulane for over twenty years. It is especially deplorable con- sidering the youthfulness Of Mr. Strauss and the esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. Devoted to his studies and most subservlent to his friends, he is an exemplary young man. Through his ,congenial- ity and fine characteristics, he had gained quite a host Of friends. All these extend to him their heartfelt sympathy and hope fer his speedy re covery.
