COURT GIVES CHISANA
 CLAIM TO JOHNSON

CORDOVA, March 19.-Judge Fred NJ. Brown yesterday handed down decision in the Chisana mining case of c. H. Likaits against William A. Johnson. involving the title to claim No. 1. above discovery, Bonanza creek. The decision establishes the right of the defendant to the title to the ground and is regarded as one of the most important rulings ever made in Alas ka as it is the first interpretation of the Wickersham act of August 1, 1912. The action by the plaintiff was based on the contention that the agent for the defendant, who staked the claim, had failed to comply with the law gov erning the location of placer claims inasmuch as he had failed to file his power of attorney for his legal prin- cipal in the Judicial Division in which the ground is located previous to the location of the ground.
 Johnson has had possession of the claim and worked it last summer.
 Te decision in this case has nothing 10 do with the Territorial act which expressly provides that the power of
 ttorney must be recorded prior to the
 gents stalking claims for his prin- ciple.

TAXES SPECIAL ACT
 FOR SKAGWAY ROAD

The proposed opening of the old Bracket road from Skagway to the Canadian boundary at the summit of White Pass is temporarily held up by an apparent dead lock between the De- partment of Justice and Delegate James Wickersham and because there is no money to make an immediate survey of the proposed road. The De partment of Justice, which has been negotiating for the release of the old franchise for the Bracket road held by the White Pass & Yukon, directed District Attorney John Rustgard to start proceedings to revoke the fran chise but subsequently, asked him to delay proceedings pending the nego- tiations referred to, and asked him to have survey of the route made.
 Mir. Rustgard advised the Depart ment that there were no funds avail a. le for making the desired survey and also advised Delegate Wickersham stating that a special appropriation from Congress would be necessary for building the road. The Attorney Gen erals office wants the survey made first so that 1t can advise the Alaska Delegate to Congress and Delegate Wickersham has written Mir. Rustgard that he feels disinclined to introduce any measure in Congress for the road before receiving instructions from the Department of Justice as to what is wanted.

NOT NOW CONSIDERING
 cAsEY-sHATTUcK SITE

"The Juneau Baseball Association is not considering the Casey-Shattuck addition site at all as a location for a baseball park at this time" said a member of the committee on securing grounds in an authorized statement made this morning to The Empire. You can say" continued the state: ment. that we regard tr rice asked as greatly too high; an ne tract of rered is too small for o purpose. No sane business man would put his mon ey into the ground on the valuations that the owners have placed upon the ground. So far as the suggestion that we take a lease on the grounds is con cerned we would not consider such a proposition for a single minute. The grand stand and ground improvement will cost not less than S4,OOO, and we would not place that much into prop osition of such uncertainty"
 The committee on grounds consists of Tom. Radonich, George c. Burford, John R. Willis and R. J. Wulzen. They say that the people can be assured that there will be a baseball park es. abolished in Juneau.

LOCAL FISHERMAN AGAINST
 POWER TROLLING BOATS

Gus Erickson, well known fisherman
 who makes Juneau his headquarters and who is at the present time em.
 ployed on the Juneau.Douglas ferry, says that if something is not done to regulate the trolling for king salmon they will be greatly depleted by the Seattle fishermen who are operating with power trollers. According to Er. ickson, power troller has several lines out and never stops running, but hauls in with the boat under speed. Under this method, he says, three. fourths of the fish hooked are never hauled in but manage to get off, con slderably mutillated, many of them never recovering.
 Another serious grievance MT. Er. ickson has against the pawer troller is that 1t is crowding the troller in a row boat-Alaska white men or h. dian-out of the business. He says that last summer he was trolling with a row boat in Chatham straits near Cape omony and had personal ex- perience with power trollers. He states that in one instance he was forced to so ashore through fear of be. ing run down by these craft. The op' orators of the power trollers, he states, threaten to run into the row boats engaged in trolling and pay no attention whatever to the rights of man. If row boat troller is so un' fortunate as to have a fish on his line when a power boat is headed his way he will lose 1t, Erickson says, because the power troller will cross his lines. In one instance Erickson states pow CT troller passed so close to him in his boat that the trolling lines were dragged across him, the line racing along the back of his neck while he was batting a hook-just as the vic ious hook was about to reach him he had the presence of mind to grasp his knife and cut the line. He says the power troller came back and asked for the sinker

UNION DOCK PROJECT

c. F. Forrest, who returned to Ju. neau on the Spokans says that he was unable to accomplish definite results for a big union dock. but has hopes that the Pacific Coast company will construct dock with a frontage of 500 feet just as soon as the present litigation involving 100 feet on the south end of the site is settled.
 This plan, if carried out according to Mir. Forrest. contemplates a system of waterfront thoroughfarcs beginning at the south end of the dock and fol- lowing the contour of the waterfront to the north side of the present dock of the company where it may connect with the proposed tide flat road to the Gold Creek estuary. Mir. Forrest stat ed that he was authorized to present a petition to the city council asking that the present condemnation pro ceedings by the city for a roadway to connect with the tideland road be dis missed and proposing an easement -oy, CT the property.
