Some have made the interesting dis
covery that the law which has just gone
into effect restricting the sale of cocaine
and other drugs to physicians prescrip-
tons has made a great boom in the use
and sale of those drugs. Although the
purpose Of the law is to regulate and not
to prevent the sale of the specified drugs,
the law has too much resemblance TO
prohibition to be acceptable in some
quarters.

prevail upon the national board of

mountain will be changed to "Denali,' y

good one. But if the change is made,
at least let us first be educated as to the
correct pronunciation of the name.

innovation on the unbroken custom OF
centuries. 10 the trial of civil cases in
that state, after the jury has been ouI
twelve hours, a verdict may be returned
BY five-sixths of the jurors, or ten mer
on a panel of twelve. 1t will at least be
interesting to see how the feature works
In fact, judges now almost always in
struct the jury that it is best for the
interests of all parties that they agree
and many verdicts are doubtless return
ed which are contrary to the judgment
of some of the jurors, because they be
lieve it is better to find verdict than tC

He fell into the swift running waters of the White, and was carried down stream quite a distance. A small boat was lowered immediately by the deck crew of the steamer, and another boat was lowered by Jas. William Kingston and Yukon Council Tor Archie Martin. The crews boat reached Fitzgerald first, and took the body in charge. The other boat soon was alongside. The several men worked with the body on the shore for quite a while, trying to resusticate the man.
 The body then was taken back 10 the Vidette, and all hands worked for a long time trying to bring the man back to life, but all in vain. The body was put on the launch and brought to Dawson, arriving here at 8:O7 last eye ming

FLAWS ATTORNEY SAYS
 HE Is ABNORMAL
o-O

LONDON, Aug. 24.-Martin W. Lit tleton, the New York lawyer who de- tended Harry Thaw on his second trial, in an interview in the Daily Mail says
 "Thaw is of an abnormal type. He just missed being a strong man. and. missing it. heaven only knows what he hit"
 Mir. Littleton goes on to discuss Thaw's brain storm" saying that though he doesn't like the term, it is precisely what his disorder is.
 During his trial" continued Mir Littleton, he was obsessed with the idea that the reading of Bernard Shaw's works was having a bad infiu- ence on his wife. He worried about it more than about anything else con- nected with the case. except the amount of attention the newspapers gave it. His egotism is something ap- palling, but it has the virtue of saving him from melanchOlia, giving him the comfortable assurance that whatever he does is right.
 He has a morbid dread of ever be- ing ignored. He would rather be pur- sued by all the prison and asylum au- thorities on the American continent than be overlooked. The keenest dis appointment which he suffered during his trial was when the New York pa pers ceased for one morning to give whole report of the case.
 Tt was not personal revenge or the unwritten law or anything of that sort that made him kill White, but the conviction there was no other way in which he could champion the cause of injured women. New York World.

QUICK ACTION OR
 DECLINEOF WESTWARD

If Congress and the administration do not act quickly in starting railroad construction or in opening the coal deposits much of the Westward cOun- try will be deserted" said Senator l.. V. Ray President of the Alaska Ter ritOrial Senate, just before sailing on the Alameda for his home at Seward. The people out in that section of the country" he continued have hung on about as long as it is possible without further development. As long as things remain as they are now, there is not a possibility of railroad construction, and if the building of railroads shall be delayed much longer there will be a general desertiOn of the country.
 If the government would do some thing that would permit the opening of the coal mines the Alaska North ern railway would complete the con struction of it's line to the Matanuska fields, and deeper into the gold-bearing districts beyond.
 Failing in that, if the government would build the railroad the situation would be saved and the development of the country would go ahead with leaps and bounds, and the population multiply.
 If neither is done within a short time, more than half of the people that are there now will be compelled to leave the country"

HEAVY STORM CAUSES
 WATER FAMINE AT HAYNES
O Q

HAYNES, Sept. 4.-Haines is exper- fencing a water famine The late heavy storm put the water main out of commission, and the result is that both Fort Seward and Haines are short on water. It is thought that the wa ter main will be in working order again in a few days.
 The work of putting the water down Dalton street is progressing nicely and in a few days the people living along that street will have water for house use and also for fire protection.
 Walter Alexander is foreman of crew that is repairing the Haines wharf, a thing that has been needed for long time. The wharf company were fortunate in getting MT. Alexander, as there could be no better man for the job.
 Both of the teachers of the public school are here and opened school to- day, they gave such good satisfaction last year that the school board engaged them again for this school year.

FOOTBALL HAS CALL
 ON TIME NOW

A call has been issued for the Ju- neau high school foot ball squad to meet on the baseball grounds Sunday morning at 10 o'clock for practice and to talk over the situation relative to providing for future events. Those who have no suits call on Russell Casey.
 This probably means that Juneau will go in strong for football this com ing season. Last year some very good contests were pulled off between the high school lads and a picked team from town. It will be a part of their efforts to revive the interest among local sports especially and if possible to induce the creating of another foot lall organization in Douglas and Treadwell

STILL DOUBT FELT
 OVER IDENTITY
O-O--

Juneau friends of Dan Crowley, re- fuse to believe that the man drowned on the Mccarthy trail, is the same man who was so we'll known here these friends are still doubtful about the identity of the drowned man, whose body was recovered almost inn mediately, but of whom a desription has not yet been furnished. Marshal Faulkner today sent another cable asking for a complete description of the drowned man. This same inquiry was also sent yesterday but that part of the inquiry was ignored. If the de- scription will identify the body as that of Dan Crowley, it is very probable that the body will be brought to Jul neau for burial.
 Yesterday Tom Radonich cabled to relatives of Dan Crowley notifying them of the reported drowning and asking advices as to the disposal of the body. At the same time Marshal H. l.. Faulkner cabled to the Westward for more facts about the drowning and a description of the drowned man. An swers have been received from both wires.
 Mr. Radonich is requested to have the drowned man buried with the rites of the Catholic church and to send and account with full particu- lars to George Mates, Johnstown, Pa, and to T. J. Crowley, Carlisle, Pa.
 The cable received by Marshal Faulkner does not furnish any de scription of the drowned man. nor speak of anything found on his body that will identify him as the same Dan Crowley who was employed at the B. NJ. Behrends stores in Juneau. The cable follows:
 "McCarthy, Alaska, Sept. 4:-Mar shal Faulkner, Juneau:
 "The horse Crowley was riding en- tered an eddy with quicksand. Sever al witnessed drowning. Body quickly recovered, but al attempts bring back failed. In pockets found three hun dred and eight dollars and five cents and five small nuggets. Jake Ander- son, travelling companion took charge of body and leaves today for COrdo- va to bury it there unless he hears from relatives. Meantime for further information wire commissioner Chit ina.
