Any lingering doubt that might
have remained regarding the inten.
intention of the Alaska Road Com
mission to construct bridges shis
winter across the Nazina and Gulka-
ma rivers, may now be dispelled.
Ralph Stewart, manager of the Arc
tic Lumber Company, assures US that
the contract for the heavy trusses for
these bridges has been awarded to
his company. This lumber will be
shipped from Seattle on the steamer
leaving December 10. That for the
Gulkana bridge will be sent out the
railroad and delivered to the Com
mission at Chitina. They will then
have to haul it IS miles to the
stream that is to be crossed. The
trusses for the Nazina bridge will be
shipped to Mccarthy station, and
from there it will be hauled seven
or eight miles to the lower canyon,
where the stream will be bridged.
The lighter lumber to be used will
be native timber. 1t will all be as
semebled early in January, when it is
expected that big force of men will
be put to work and the bridges finish
ed by Spring.
The Chitina leader., 1912-12-03

A business usually succeeds bet
ter if grows gradually from a modest
start, as this gives an opportunity
to meet the obstacles. This has been
forcibly demonstrated by the at
tempts at raising foxes, particularly
black ones, at Copper Center.
Several years ago a stock company
of Seattle undertook to start fox
farm near Copper Center. After
spending several thousand dollars the
attempt was given up. Those who
were conducting it had no practical
knowledge of the work.
The people of Chitina had a rare
treat this week in the way of fox
exhibition. John McCrary of Cop
per Center brought in seven live foxes
which he shipped to the states, where
they will be put on fox farms for
breeding purposes. They included
red, cross and black foxes, the last
of which are very valuable.
Fox farming presents many inter-
esting as we'll as some vexing prob
lens. They are as timid in captivity
as they are cunning and wise at Hber-
ty. They will not breed unless the
conditions of captivity are favorable
and only long experience in handling
them will give this information.
Mr.. McCrary an dsons have a blue
fox coming in from their pens which
they will cross with the ordinary
ed fox and get rueslting cross much
more valuable than the red. Black
fox, such as those in this shipment
are the most valuable by far and are
the most difficult to raise.

affairs and adjourned without indict
ing anyone.
More agitation followed, with the
result that second grand jury was
convened. This body proved of a
makeup just the opposite of the other
and returned indictments in sheaves.
Acts of Barnette. upon which in
dictments are based, are conversion
of the Fairbanks Banking Company's
funds for the purchase of the Wash
ington-Alaska stock and Withdrawing
sums from his personal account in
the institution.
Seventeen indictments were return
turned against Hawkins. One of
these charges misappropriation of
funds with which he purchased stock
in the consolidation. Another
charges Justification of the banks
books that would show this trans
action. Twelve charge him with
paying out to various depositors the
amounts of checks drawn by them the
last day the bank was open, after
having been notified it was insolvent
The other three charge him with re-
turning moneys to depositors after
he had been appointed receiver, fol-
lowing the failure This last-named
act he had performed with the sane
ton of District Judge Peter Over
field.
Vice-Presdent Jackson was indict-
ed on two counts, one of siding and
abetting Hawkins in the stock buying
transaction and the other for making
an allegedly false entry in the bank S
books in connection Herewith.
The indictment that fell to the lot
of w. H. Parsons is based upon a
statement of the old Washington
Alaska Banks condition prior to the
consolidation. He also was named
in joint indictment that charged
him, Barbour, Webster and Joslin
with making an annual report of the
old Observation-Disclosures Banks condi-
ton which the prosecution contends
was not accurate. 1t is understood
that the prosecution, since the indict-
ments were returned, has absolved
Webster and Joslin, and that they
will not be asked to go to trial, mas
much as neither had any knowledge
whatever of bookkeeping routine in
the bank.

are innumerable minor positions,
some of them with good salaries at
tached.
Even better are the positions,
which include four division judges,
salaries $500; four United States
attorneys, $1,000 year; four United
States marshals, with salaries of $4.-
900 year. All of these appointees
will have a large number of minor
jobs to give out, such as deputies,
clerks of courts and assistant United
States attorneys. Then there will
be court commissioners who can col
lect fees up to $4,000 year; light
house keepers, game wardens, fish

which ought to gladden. the hearts of
faithful Democracy.

R. w. Jennings, of juneau, who
was defeated by James Wickersham

assured of the federal judgship of
the First division. The term of
Judge Thomas R. Lyons, the present
incumbent, will expire June 1 and
Jennings will, in all proba bility, sue
coed him as judge at Juneau. Jen-
nings has been active during the re-
cent campaign and occupies a posi-
ton of prominence and popularity,
which apparently insures him the
fulfillment of his political ambitions.
Charles H. Cosgrove, of Ketchikan,
is in line for the appointment as
United States attorney, although q.
a.Cheney has also been mentioned for
this position. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Cheney does not want the
job and that he will succeed the late

are mentioned for the United States
marshalship. Hansen was a former
member of the Washington legisla-

marshal, won fame as hero of the
posse that rounded up the "Soapy"

Soon afer the change in national
administration there will be large
number of federal positions to be fill
led in Alaska. In the four judicial
divisions most of the officials will
have served their term of four years
in June next. Judge Murane, at
Nome was not appointed until 1910,
succeeding Judge Moore, term expir-
ed. When Judge Murane received
his appointment he was District At
torney for the Third Division, his sue
cessor being George E. Walker, who
was not confirmed until December
1910. When Judge Cushman was
appointed to the western division of
Washington last summer, Judge Over
field was transferred to this division.
His term will expire in June. But
Judge Fuller was recently appointed
and confirmed as Judge of the Fourth
division. Ordinarily the Judges
would be permitted to serve out their
terms, but they may be removed at
the pleasure of the President, and it
is possible that a number of expect
ant Alaska Democrats may get busy
at once to see if ways and means
might not be devised to effect early
changes.
On the subject of candidates for
office in Alaska the Post-Intelligencer
refers to two prominent aspirants for
the Governorship, Falcon Joslin and
J. F. Strong, and it is generally con-
coded that one or the other will re-
ceiye the plum, as there is great faith
that under the present administration
it will be Alaska for Alaskans, and
Alaskans for Alaska. The term of
the present efficient Governor does
not expire for more than year, and
if he so desires it is altogether proba-
BILE that he will serve out his term.
The Seattle paper has the following:
Good Federal Positions.
The best jobs in the federal adj
ministration will be that of governor,
$500 year; collector of customs,
81, 900 year; surveyor general, $4,-

of Nome, are said to be aspirants for
the judgeship of the Second Division
Grigsby is former district attorney,
who was removed by President Taft.
o. D. Cochran is former mayor of
Nome and leading attorney of Alas
ka
Conrad Preceding, territorial sena-
tor and also former mayor, may be
the next United States marshal, for
which position Thomas w. Gaffney,
member of the house of representa-
tives, is also mentioned.
COrdOva to be Remembered
John Y. Ostrander, Edmund Smith
and A. c. Frost are mentioned most
frequently for judge of the Third di-
ision. Ostrander is former Wash
ingtonian, was register of the Seattle
land office under the e:rst Cleveland
administration and court commits
sioner at Juneau under the second
Cleveland administration. Smith is
former mayor of Valdez and was a
delegate to the Baltimore convention.
Among those mentioned for United
States attorney for the Third division
are w. w. Whittlesey, of Seward
brother of c. F. Whittlesey, of Seat
tie. He was candidate for secre-
tary of state in the first state cleo
ton, but has lived in Alaska for sew
eral years. Thomas J. Donohue, an
attorney from Valdez is also being
doomed for this job.
Still Some More Candidates.
John F. Dillon, R. F. Roth, John
A. Clark and Harry A Pratt are likely
to be candidates for Judge of the
Fourth division, with headquarters at
Fairbanks. Dillon, who has been a
Wickersham supporter, has always
been a Democrat and he is now a
United States commissioner at Fair
banks. Roth supported Martin Har-
rails and is regarded as bolter, and
will be opposed if he becomes an ac-
tive candidate.
L. T. Erwin and Dan Callahan are
aspirants for the marshalship.
Charles A. SulZer and Phil Abra-
hams are mentioned as candidates
for collector of customs, and Charles
G. Davidson is being doomed for
surveyor general.

KATALLA, Nov. 30-The recent
death and burial here of Martin Bar
ret, recalls many episodes in the life
of one of the most noted characters
in this nortland.
Martin Barrett was born in Water
ford, Ireland in 1916. At the age
of eight he came to America and lived
with an aunt in New Orleans for two
years. He then went to an uncle in
Chicago and a year later commenced
life for himself as cabin boy on a
Mississippi river steamboat. At the
age of thirteen he started across the
plains for California and was a men,
Der of the party that buried the
skeletons of the victims of the Noun
tain Meadows Massacre in Utah.
The succeeding twenty years of his
life were spent in the southwest and
northwest, he taking part in all of
the mining excitements of those
times. In both sections he Was en-
gagged ~ active service as a sc3,:t in
the Indian wars.
In 1888 Mr.. Barrett married
Florence Klinik in Berlin, Wis, and
several months later opened hotel
in Spokane. Returning to Wiscon-
sin in 1885 he spent the next three
years in business with his wife's
brother. In 1898 he settled with his
family in Snohomish, Wn. In 1896
he in company with Thos. Lane, now
of Katalla, Steve Roe and the late
Capt. Lyons, of Nome, fitted out the
schooner Leslie and started on a
prospecting trip of the Alaska coast
which extended to Cooks Inlet. His
| family accompanied him on this trip.
In the early fall the party returned
south as far as Katalla and Mr.. Bar
rett with his family. and Capt. Lyons,
had Geo. Barrett, of this place, put
them ashore ON Middleton ISLAND.
They remained on the islan1 until
the following summer, when one OF
Mr.. Storey's cannery tenders took
them off
August, 1907 saw Mr.. Barrett and
his family taking part in the STAN
pede of Dawson. Like thousands of
others they floated down the Yukon
river that fall in sour dough boat
| In 1901 they returned to Snohomish
and in the spring of 1903 came to
Katalla. He is survived by his wife,
daughter Mrs. o. L. Willoughby, and
two sons, Lawrence and Fred, now in
Spokane.

FAIRBANKS BANKING CASES

At Valdez yesterday Judge Lyons
opened what promises to be one of
the most important terms of court
ever held in Alaska. A large num-
Der of criminal and civil issues are
to be tried out, and it is expected that
two or three months may be consum-
ed ere the issues involved are dis
posed Of There is great array of
legal talent employed in the case,
while seventy or eighty witnesses
have been summoned from Fairbanks,
Seattle and other places. One of the
first acts after court opened yester-
day was the dismissal of indictments
against Falcon Joslin and E. l.. Web
ster. They were charged, as direc-
tors of the Washington-Alaska bank,
of Fairbanks, with publishing false
reports of the financial condition of
the bank. The prosecution soon dis
covered that this was not a fact,
and a motion to dismiss the indict-
ments was Immediately offered and
granted. E. S. Bunch, formerly a
newspaper man at Fairbanks, is
thoroughly failiar with the points at
issue, and is now in attendance at the
trials. He wrote the following state
ment for the Seattle Times
~.

banks Banking Company had for its
president Captain Barnette, who for
many years maintained winter resi-
dence in Seattle; for vice-president,
J. Albert Jackson. and for cashier,
Lew Wing. Numerous big mining
and business men of Fairbanks were
included in it's directorate.
Barnette Starts Drawing Out.
In the fall of 1909 consolidation
was effected by the Fairbanks Bank
ing Company purchasing the Wash
ington-Alaska business, and starting
anew, using the old Washington
Alaska name. Shortly after CONSOLE
dation Barnette, desiring to central
ize his interests in a great Mexican
hacienda he had acquired, began
withdrawing from all business in the
North. He rendered his resignation
as president of the consolidated bank,
and came out to Seattle expecting his
successor would be named soon after
his departure from Fairbanks.
Barnette had been here but a short
time when Jackson came to him with
report that the Northern institu-
tons affairs were in a critical condi-
ton, because a Seattle bank, with
which it had been doing business, had
refused to continue great overdraft
usually available. Such assistance
was vitality necessary because of the
great transactions involved in hand
ling the big volume Of gold output.
Barnette, whose resignation never
had been acted upon by the directors,
with Jackson MAIDS strenuous efforts to
obtain the required assistance from
the banks here and in San Francisco,
but finally had to give up.
When it was realized by them the
overdraft could not be obtained, 4

Cry Raised Against Barnette.
Barnette returned to Fairbanks to
protect his name against the wild
charges being made. He disclaimed
all responsibility of whatsoever charc-

with court officials, with an offer to
lend practically his entire wealth.
then chiefly represented by property
for the rehabilitation of the wreck
ed bank. He stated his reason for
doing this was his deep regret that
hardships had been wrought upon
such great number of his old friends
and his desire to see proved his claim
that the banks obligations all could
be liquidated from it's own resources,
if properly handled. He pledged to
the court his Mexican holdings, esti-
mated to have value of $1,500,000.
Instead of having the expected re-
suit of giving him an opportunity to
direct the work of settlement of the
banks affairs, however, this act of
Barnette's brought new complica-
tons. More opposition was stirred
up against him, and the United States
court at Fairbanks was called upon
by the persons leading the agitation
to make searching grand jury in
vestigation.
