MUST RAISE THE SIDEWALK AT
 THE FRANKLIN STREET THEATRE

will be published on or about Feb. "A.
 A wire was received from Mayor Bishop now in Seattle quoting the price of lumber and coal. He was in- structed to buy the lumber for the dock extension, costing $1,5OO.
 The committee on dockage was or, dered to confer with the United States custom officials in regard to the mat, ter of providing dockage facilities for the United States cutter Unalga, to be stationed in Juneau.
 An order was issued by resolution, passed unanimously, that the sidewalk in front of the Jaeger theatre build ing on Franklin street be restored to the original grade immediately. There was considerable discussion on this subject. A great deal of indignation was expressed over the free and easy manner in which people violate city ordiuaces. The sidewalk being low cred at the point referred to is said to have created a constant menace to pedestrians passing over it.

COBB'S ARGUMENT
 FOR A NEW TRIAL

This morning Attorney J. H Cobb and District Attorney Rustgard ar gued the motion of the defense for a new trial iU the case of O. Itow and E. Fushimi. who were recently convicted, the first named of first degree murder, and the latter of manslaughter.
 The first point raised by Mr Cobb is that the verdict was vitiated by the action of the district attorney in giy- ing for publication in a local news paper. at that time conducted by a receiver of the court, the interview of Jan. :. a copy of which is attached to the motion.
 The second point raised Is that of the failure of the court to keep the jury together even with the consent of the defendant, was error under the Alaska statute which is taken from the Ohio code insofar as crimin- al trials are concerned, and was es- pecially prejudicial in view of the ad- vantage taken of the circumstance by the district attorney.
 The third point raised is that it was a fatal error to admit in evi- dence the alleged confession made by defendant Fushimi, which the court admitted upon the theory contended for by the district attorney, that the defendants were co-conspirators and the statements of one were admissible against all. But, the denfense con tends and cited authorities in sup port of the proposition that even if the conspiracy were shown, the con fession in question was made long after any such conspiracy had end ed and was for that reason not ad- missible on a joint trial

FISHER IN MIR. WILSON'S CABINET?
SALMON CREEK
 WATER SUPPLY

General Manager 5. l.. Thane, of the Alaska a.Gastineau Company was seen in reference to the rumor that there was likely to be a law suit over the Salmon creek water supply.
 The Wagner.Folsom interests on lower Salmon creek have always been on friendly terms with our company" said Mir. Thane, and we hope such state of affairs will continue. We certainly shall respect all of their Ie- gal right in the premises. Our com pany bought the Price and Wood side rights and all of the earliest loca- tions on Salmon creek down to the Wagner,Folsom interests and by agreement with the latter We were given a right of way over their claims for our Hume and tram lines. It is apparent that there are conflicting ideas about the water rights on Sal mon creek. And for this reason l in- structed our attorney to call on Judge Folsom and have him institute a friendly suit against our company so that the legal standing in the mat ter may be definitely settled,
 We do not want to deprive them of any of their legal rights and are will ing and anxious to turn into Salmon creek all the water that is necessary to handle the plant they now have. We do not anticipate any serious diff culty over the matter"

FUR SHIPMENTS
 FROM VANCOUVER

Writing from Vancouver, B. G. United States Vice Consul G. C. Wood ward says the British Columbia sea port is becoming more and more the distributing point for turs from the Yukon section, and even from Alas ha, as we'll as from British Columbia itself
 It is estimated by a local dealer" Mir. Woodward says, that the fur business of British Columbia, includ- ing the rurs shipped thither from the Yukon Territory amounts to approx mately $1,OOO,OOO annually. As the Dominion Government does not pub fish the exports of the different Pro- vinces separately, and as there are many points from which furs are shipped from the Province, it is diff cult to make an accurate estimate of the value of the output The dealer referred to estimates that of this out put one.half goes to Great Britain, one.sixth to Eastern Canada, and two sixths to the United States. Follow ing the theory that less than half of the fur business of the Province is done through Vancouver the fact that the records of this consulate general for the first three-quarters of 1912 show that furs worth more than $1OO,- 900 were shipped to the United States would indicate that the foregoing fig ures are a fair estimate.
 "The principal furs, such as beaver, mink. marten, and lynx, show little change in value over 1911. The aver age value is brought down consider ably in the case of some of the furs on account of there being a number of summer skins included in the ship ments."

MANY NEW PUBLIC
 BUILDINGS NEEDED

An informal discussion at the city hall last night brought out the fact that there are many public building improvements urgently needed in the city of Juneau at the present time.
 There is extreme need of a new jail buildiug-not that Juneau is growing lax morally If Juneau were not so well behaved. Captain Martin says, the local police force would have been in dire straits long ago. The present iar building may be said to be in a state of senile decay Occasionally a drink.crazed roisterer from the water front is arrested and if incarcerated in the ancient building proceeds to wreck the city property.
 A new fire house is needed badly modern building that will house the needful apparatus and provide sleep ing accommodations for a limited number of the firemen.
 There must be more school room provided at once. The present tenn porary quarters in the McGrath build ing on Seward street will have to be given up on demand and there must be no time lost in providing addition, al school rooms of a permanent char, acter. In this connection Mir Harry Fisher. of the school board. announces himself in favor Of erecting a concrete nreproof building of modern consruc. tion on the school proerty now owned by the city. It is possible to draw plans that will harmonize an addition to the present building and arrange for the gradual substitution Of con, crete construction for all the portions now made of wood
 The city pays rent for the present city hall. It is urged that good con- crete building can be erected on the city's Main street lot with fifty foot frontage, This building could provide the quarters for jail, fire de, partment and for city hall purposes.

CANNERY WHARVES
 ARE WASHED AWAY

Great masses of drift ice along the Skeena river have carried away many whaves of the different canneries sit, uated near the mouth of the stream.
 At the Balmoral cannery, which is located near the junction of the Hoe stall and Skeena rivers it is reported that all of the wharf and part of the cannery buildings were washed away The situation of the Balmoral can nery is such that it would receive the full benefit of all the ice coming down both rivers.
 It is further reported that at the Dominion and Inverness canneries the wharves have been carried away but that the buildings escaped and that TO damage has occurred at Gas siar

WHITE PASS AFTER
 LOWER YUKON TRADE

Officers of the White Pass & Yukon route have given out for publication the announcement that they have com pleted final arrangements for estab. fishing new and independent trans portation service through to Fair banks and intermediate points and are expecting to give the best possible service in time and com5ort to it's pa. irons, beginning this spring. The schedule of rates will be issued short ly, says the Skagway Alaskan.
 In connection with the above an an nouncement, it is assumed that if the White Pass starts anything on the lowe river without making rate agreements with the transportation companies already in the field, there will be a rate war which will furnish cheap transportation and freighting to the public. The Northern Navigation Company is something of millionaire concern and always show readiness to get everything that is laying around while the White Pass is not so slow in going after business.
 Before Mir. Dickeson left last fall he announced that such was his intention, and since then it has been whispered that the material for two river boats have already been assem- bled on the sound and will be shipped north at once in a knocked down con dition and put together at White horse.

THE BOY AND THE WAR
Some impressions That Came to Mir.
 Lodge in the Sixties.

I think the vivdness of the first in. cidents of the war and the blanks and the confusion which l find in my rec. ollections of the following years, are owing simply to the fact that they were the first The killing of two or three men in Baltimore in 1861 shook the country Three or four years lat CT engagements in which 200 or 300 men were killed and wounded on each side were dismissed in paragraph and described as skirmishes, as, in- deed, they seemed to people who had beheld the awful losses at Get tysburg and Charlottesville, at Shil- oh, Fredericksburg, or Cold Harbor.
 The first Bull Run well remember, and ! shall never forget the intense surprise and the real misery which it brought to me, but my only desire was to fight on and wipe out the dis grace. My boyish heart hardened un- der that blow, and, as I now see the heart of the country hardened, too, and men set themselves in dead earn est to carry on the grim work Ar ter this the memories begin to blur and run together. l recall Island No. 10 and Donelson and Port Royal, vic. tories which cheered the entire North. remember the dreadful Sunday when the news came of Popes defeat, and the way the churches were kept open and people assembled in them to col. lect and prepare lint and bandages and supplies to be sent at once to the army. Antietam I well recall, for many Massachusetts regiments suffer. ed there severely, but I did not re- alize until went over the battlefield years afterward in company with Pres ident Mckinley what bad position Lee had deliberately walked into and how completely Mcclellan had thrown away his opportunity.
 Of the Western battles l remember less, but I rejoiced in following the fighting which cleared the great riv- CTS, and the names of Farra gut and Porter of Foote and Davis, and of their river victories were all familiar to me. Even more familiar and ex- citing was the fight between the Mon- itor and the Merrimac. The victory of the Monitor, for such it was in effect, was not only momentous, but, owing to the comparative size of the two vessels, had the attraction which dwells in the stories of the boys who fare forth into the world in search of adventure and slay huge giants and montrous dragons-Senator Lodge in scribner's.

THE MOOSE SMOKER
 BRINGS OUT MANY

The local lodge of Loyal Order ot Moose held a membership smoker last night in the lodge rooms of the odd Fellows building. It was great sue cess. calling out a phenominai attend ance. Ed Russel was in charge of the social session.
 The principal drawing card of the entertainment was a four-round box ing contest between II. Sorensen, whose stage name is Brigham, Salt Lake boy. and F. Crawford, of Sedalia, Ohio. The men weighed 14S and l5l, respectively. and were in the pink of condition except that the first named had walked in from Sheep creek af, ter working all day. Crawford is a very clever. auburn haired youth and won the decision on points. A. Hen drickson was second to Sorensen and Lewis Derry performed the same office for Crawford. A. w. Rhodes was ref cree for the mill. and Mir. Mcbride was time keeper. The first round was Sorensen's; the second round even; Craword had a shade in the third and was given the decision at the close ot the fourth.
 There was much singing. speaking and story telling. Sandwiches anC coffee added somewhat to the enjoy ment of the affair. It has been an nounced that smoker may be looked forward to as Q regular monthly event
