is superintendent of Agency Depart
ment, and Opens an Office in
Brannon Building.
AS chronicled in the last issue of
Inc News the organization of the
Westinghouse Life Insurance Com
pany OF Georgia has been rapid, and
mas met with unprecedented favor
throughout the country-so much so
that arrangements have been made to
deposit with the State of Georgia
the necessary one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,O00) in validated
bonds, which will give the company
the right to issue policies. In order
to write policies a home office plant
must be installed, which takes time
and talent. Also the hundreds of
applications for agency contracts,
which are coming in, must be taken
care of.
Mr.. Jos. j. Rogers, an experienced
life insurance man of Winston-Salem.
N. c., has been engaged by the or
ganlzers Of the Westinghouse Life
insurance Company of Georgia to
take charge of the formation of it's
agency department, and has arrived
IN Dawson and gone actively to work
Mr.. Rogers has been engaged
IN insurance work for more than
twenty years, and comes with the
highest recommendations from for
mer associates. He can be found
in the offices of the company in the
Brannon building, and will be glad
to discuss with any one matters per-
tanning to his department.
He believes there are the most
attractive prospects for building up
a strong life insurance company in
Southwest Georgia, and that the
Westinghouse, located at Dawson,
has the best system known to mod
ern life underwriting.

Ketchikan Opinion Of the Dismissed
 Coast Officials

Dan Sutherland and John J. Boyce, former marshal and district attorney, went through Ketchikan Wednesday on their way to Washington. They were going down there to ask for an investi- gation of the charges which caused the President to arbitrarily remove them. They carried evidence with them of the corruption which exists among the per- sons who secretly caused their dismissal. But they carried something better than that. They carried something which shows that there are men who hold their honor above price, who would rather play fair than hold a job, who will not desert their benefactors in time of need. Such a man is Assistant Dis trict Attorney Barnhill, who signed an affidavit supporting his friend and bene- factor John J. Boyce and denounced the gang of corruptionists who are trying to down him. That affidavit is on it's way to Washington. Barnhill may suffer the loss of his job for doing it, but he'll keep his self-respect, and he'll gain a thousand friends where his silence would have lost him those he already had. Sutherland's deputies, except the one who succeeded him, walked up like men of honor and denounced the meth ods used against him. Such men have no fear of losing their positions. Men of proven honor can always find employ ment. Their moral courage is sufficient to assure them respectable livelihood and, together with the great majority of mankind, they have nothing but con- tempt for degenerate who would lend himself to political jobbery for the sake of hanging on to an appointment little

ICE AT NULAT0
 MOVED MAY 25
No Word Has Come Out From
 Below KaItaS.

There has been no news received here from below Kaltag since the river op- ened at Panama. The ice, which was jammed there, did not start from Tan ana until May 25, and the heavy run of ice from the koyukuk helped to pile the banks full all along below Koyukuk City.
 There is a probability that much ice piled into Shagaluk slough. It may be it is little more than open for the pas sage of stampeders at the present time. Of cource it would have been possible to go into the Innoko by way of Koferesky several days ago.
 There have been rumors around town of several bad accidents, some of them fatal, but had such occurred below Kal- tag there would be no way of hearing of them. Above Kaltag a man fell over- board and was rescued, and a launch with eleven men was caught in a jam and had to be hauled onto land. Sev- eral small boats also had close calls and minor mlshaps between Nulato and kal- tag.
 The mail launch Carrier, which win tered at Nulato, is the only up-river craft to arrive. She got in early yester- day morning with Dan Averill, Henry Robison and Harry Stockman aboard. From Nulato she went to Kaltag for the mail that had arrived over the portage. The ice was piled so high at Kaltag that she could not land, and it was with diff ficulty that the mail was put aboard from small boat. The Carrier behaved splendidly, making the trip from Kaltag in 36 hours running time.

GOOD PROSPECT ON TRIPLE CREEK

V. o. Green and John Veil, who have been prospecting for some time on Triple creek, which enters the Yukon river from the north few miles above The Rapids, came down in small boat yesterday afternoon. They showed nice prospect in coarse gold, and declare they will determine whether or not the creek carries pay before they get through. They struck water, and will take the first steamer to Rampant, from which place they will return with men enough to keep the pump constantly running till they get through with the wet shaft.
 Sometime ago it was said in this paper that MT. Green was to prospect on a galena ledge known to exist near The Rapids. This was an edror. He is looking for placer, and does not know the exact location of the ledge.
