He would like to move into Douglas if he could find house big enough.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The clause in the law which is re- sponsible for the decision of the Unit ed States court of appeals at San Francisco, holding that Alaska judges must admit evidence of citizenship in Indian liquor cases has an interesting history. The clause in question reads:
 'That the term citizen in this act shall be construed to include the abor- iginal races of the inhabitants of AL aska when annexed, and their descen- dants of the half blood, who have not become citizens.''
 This clause was inserted III the law when it was amended to make 1t fel- ony. As proposed by Governor Hog gott, there were no changes in the law except as to the penalty. While it was before the committee of the house Delegate Wickersham proposed the in sertion of this clause, and the commit tee accepted it without any debate But for that clause the law would still be perfectly good.

Alexander Archangelsky, young min perform work necessitating no greater outlay than five hundred dollars, as that was all at the time deGroff chose to invest in prospect, prompted by his past experiences. On examining the property the engineer returned the report that the mine was a grassroots proposition and subsequently, it has proven to be as he predicted. The first shipment of ore was made in Decem- Der, 1905. Five tons at that time was sent to Tacoma, showing returns from the smelter amounting to $1,270; if ty-seven tons shipped the following year brought returns of $7,3OO, and a third shipment in the spring of the next year returned $15,7OO. With this mon ey two Hendy two-stamp mills were purchased, and are now operating on the property, and concentrates are shipped regularly to the shelter.
 Young and Newell both realizedl the value of their property; but by their sudden wealth their heads were not turned. Ralph pursuer the same tenor of his way; and next summer when on his usual vacation to the fish ing grounds, he left his employer and partner with apologies. He did not want the judge to believe that he went because he was too proud to work-he did not consider that catch ing salmon for the canneries was work and fulfilling his promise, he return ed to faithfully discharge the duties of his post in the store.
 The exceptional part of the story, as a story, rests in the fact that the Indians have placed their faith in the white man, and that faith has not been abused.

A HEARSE, A HOUSE, A
 LEASE, AND A LAWSUIT

James McKanna brought suit against L. G. Thomas last week for $125-the elimination of an old dispute. The case was tried before Judge Grover Vim last week Saturday and taken under advisement by him.
 Years ago, MT. Thomas built nearse, worth about 1,400, for the honorable wagon0 comes high. Af- rewards, house owned by MT. Nc Kama on ground owned by the Tread well company was rented, and the hearse moved in. It was long ago and the parties are not able to agree as to what the terms of the original con- tract were, if there was an agreement Some time later, either in cash or in the settlement of an old bill $93 was paid for rent, and then the matter ran along for some more years Mean time, the defendant contends, he saw the superintendent of the Treadwell

HooNAH NOTES

The Hoonah people are beginning to return from their summers work. There was very good run of fish dur ing the past summer and the people will be able to provide we'll for their material wants until the beginning of the next season.
 As usual, in the fall, the natives are busy drying fish and picking berries. Fish and berries constitute great part of the native food for the winter.
 Mrs. Andrew Johnson and Mrs. Lin coin Gorden were taken to the gov ernment hospital at Juneau last week.

McKanna $ absence last summer on his wedding trip, the barn was torn down by the company, and Arthur Osterberg' s house built on the site.

NOT TALKING RECIPROCITY

Those who attended the Saturday evening concert at the Grand Theatre received a very pleasing surprise dur ing the course of the performance. When it came time for the first vocal number the ad curtain was raised re- vealing the stage equipped with new set of scenery having an interior effect. It is very evident that MT. Jackson, or "Jack' as he is better known, has not been spending his spare time argu- ing whether we ought to have reciproc- ity with Canada or not. The Grand Is now we'll equipped to handle all kinds of theatricals and it would look as though a boom in that line was forth coming during the winter.
 MT. Jack son deserves great credit for his grit and stick to it-iveness in connection with the building up of the present Grand theatre He came to Ju- neau at time when all picture shows were looked on with suspicion as the merchants and people in the town had been done, and done brown, on var ious occasions by these travelling shows. Jack realized that the town needed something in this line as the means of amusement during the long winter was very slim, so he got to work and convinced the people that he was here to "deliver the goods. ' This is not Jackson s first venture into the theatrical line as he had had some IS years experience with some of the larg- est productions in the states. We hope the time is not far distant when Ju- neau will have prospered to the extent of being able to support house de- voted to the Legitimate with MT.

NOT RHEUMATISM

James McCloskey, of Juneau, is re- covering rapidly from an injury receiv- ed by a fall at his mine at Spruce creek this summer. He slipped and fell there, and, as he thought, sprain- ed his knee When it grew more painful, he thought that rheumatism had found weak spot For weeks he labored under this impression, but final ly went into skagway and consulted physician, and found that his knee was dislocated. Not withstanding the fact that it was out of place so long, it will in time be as good as new.
