Greatest Caribou Trek
 in History at FOrtymiIe

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 30. - According to reports received here the largest herd of caribou ever seen in the For ty-mile section or at least in the past 15 years, reached that edistrict during the early days of the present month. It took the larger part of the herd four days and nights to pass the mining camp on Chicken creek. This large compact mass of moving animals spread over a territory 22 miles wide while passing through the Forty-mile section and took four days and nights to pass from the boundary post at Steel to O'Brien creek. There were several small punches seen passing for several days after, trailing behind being worn out from hard and long travel. The biggest part of the herd it is thOunght by those who are an will winter on Dennison Fork of Forty-mile river while the will go into the Panama hills farther south. By careful observation it has been demonstrated that this large herd came all the way from the Mckenzie watershed and the Peel riv- CT region.

ENGLAND MAY YET
 PARTICIPATE IN FAIR

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The Times says encouraging progress has been made in the movement for obtaining from the Government reconsideration of it's attitude toward the Panama-Pacific Exposition to be held at San Fran cisco, and that a deputation from a committee formed for this object will shortly wait on the Prime Minister.
 Already, it says, there have been in- formal conferences with Ministers and other officials which, it is thought, have done much to pave the way for favorable response.
 Whereas the Government originally estimated that $1,25O,OOO would be re- quired, the committee have satisfied themselves that a revised scheme could be adequately undertaken on a subsidy of $5OO,OOO.

MARSHAL FAULKNER
 MADE DEPENDANT
OO


 This afternoon the case of Thomas H. Ashby against H. L. Faulkner as marshal of the first division is being tried before Judge R. w. Jennings. This is a mandamus proceedings to compel Marshal Faulkner to serve an alias writ of restitution and ejectment on a judgment rendered in the jus tice court by U. s. Commissioner J. B. Marshall against John Hyde alleged to be wrongfully in possession of cer- tain property known as the Price Homestead.
 The tangle presented is that the de fendant in the original suit, John Hyde, got possession of the house and cer- tain portion of the land claimed by plaintiff through lease; that he failed to pay his rental and refused to give possession to the plaintiff, but has himself moved out of this house and the land enclosed about it with a fence and taken up another residence a little removed from it. Other par ties are now living in the house who were not made defendants in the or iginal suit.

 ONE OF JUNEAU'S NEEDS

The Bergman House which has just been thrown open to the public is the property of Mrs. Mary Bergman and designed as a comfortable moderate priced home for the homeless. There is every evidence that it will meet the expectations of it's owner and give en- tire satisfaction to it's patrons.

They are arranged single and ensuite, there being three Broom suites and six Broom suites. Baths are provided on every floor and there is an immense shower bath in the basement. The basement also con tains the laundry, heating plant, spe- cial 184-gallon boiler for the baths and laundry, baggage room and several store rooms besides the janitors quarters The first floor. in addition to the living rooms, has a lobby office near the entrance. The stairs are broad and comfortable and the halls wide and so arranged as to furnish direct access to every apartment none of which are without outside light.
 The finish is in oak and the furni- ture is a splendid hardwood mission to harmonize with the finish, and sup plemented with metal bedsteads. The carpets and rugs are all first quality. Taken altogether it is an establish ment that does credit to Juneau. Mrs. Mary Bernhofer, formerly of Skagway has been installed as manager of the new establishment

LARGE ADDITION
 FOR HOTEL CAIN

Early next spring the Hotel Cain is to have a great improvement made in the form of an addition to the pres ent building that will provide fifty more guest chambers. The new struc- ture is to be added to the rear of the present building and will be S6x6S feet in dimension with a wing to the south 50x36 feet. It will be three stories like the present building and will be built entirely of concrete and steel including all of the floors, inner walls and roof.
 The lower floor will provide a great deal more baggage space than is now in use and will also provide for large sample rooms, cold storage rooms, kit chen for the large dining room on the south side of the present building and many other conveniences.
 All of the guests room will be large and airy. Twenty-Five of them will be provided with private baths and will be fipished and furnished in the same substantial and tasteful style that dis tinguishes those that are now in use. There will also be large and comfort able ladies parlors on these floors.
 C. w. Winstedt, the we'll known ar chitect who recently established him self, has the plans almost completed. It is planned by Claude E. Ericson and F. R. Jaeger, the owners of the property, to have construction begin about April first. Mir Erickson and family will leave for the south on the Northwestern tomorrow. While in Se- attle Mr. Ericsson will make arrange ments to have the necessary materials shipped to Juneau during the winter so that construction can begin early and be prosecuted without interrup- tion until the building is finished
