Craig, Alaska, Jan. II 1914. Editor, Miner:

IJ IS UOC WOFlH while to go over to Craig at this time of year as there is nobody there but the watch man and postmaster" This statment was made in the early part of the winter by a business man in one of the big merchan tile establishments of Ketchi- kan, to gentleman who, with his family contemplated com ing over here to locate and as 8 matter of fact has since done so. Now ordinarily, we would take no notice of such a state ment, were it not for the fact that it was made to a total stranger in the country, and similar statements of the like import having heretofore been made by certain persons in ketchikan, having a tendency to injure our business enter prises and retard our present rapid growth. The writer has at various times during the past ten years, through the press, in public meetings and conven- tions, insisted that all Alaskans and all of the Alaska towns and communities, should stand to- gether, presenting a solid front for the upbuilding and develop ment of one town of commun- ity's business and natural re- sources would be of more or less benefit to all, especially so when viewed by outsiders People in the states, capital seeking investment look at the advancement and development of the Territory as a whole, not single localitiess.
 Pardon us for again referring 10 the statement quoted at the beginning of this articale, but to show the actual conditions here, that in future there will be no occasion for such state mentS. we desire to cite the fact that during last December a school district was establish. :. ed here on the 9th inst, an election was held for the pur- pose of selecting a board of trustees, at which there were cast ninety votes, there being ten or twelve actual voters in town who did not vote and as many more who were tempo rarlly absent, making our total voting population about one hundred and ten or fifteen, an increase of thirty five or forty since the November election of last fall. So you can sec our postmaster and watchman are not plning away from lonliness. Not only in population are we growing, but in a business Way we are striding forward at q good pace. The herring, hail. but and king salmon fishing be ing the chief industry at this time of the year, the latter or course being the lightest. There are now four outfits located here fishing herring for bait and market. and an eX- tensive plant for salting, curing and smoking fish, operated by C. D. Furgason, is in full blast almost night and day. There are from oneto a dozen halibui schooners in here every day for bait, there are seven in the harbOr as we write this. The best part of it is, for the fish ermen, they have no trouble in getting all the bait they wan! and in record time. A few days ago the steamer Independent came in at midnight, after four days cruise to Yes Bay and other points seeking bait, got their supply of 150 barrels and

The Ace of Linen.

It is highly probable that the manu-
facture OF linens IS OF greater an
tiauity than that of silk. Archaeol-
ogists generally admit that the num-
my cloth OF the most ancient dyDas-
ties was a variety OF finest linen The
Egyptian and Jewish priests wore ii
at all their ceremonies. We find men
ton of fine linens all through the Old
and New Testaments- When the queen
Of Sheba visited Solomon she was hab-
tied in linen. In Revelation the an
gels are clothed in pure and white
linen" Genesis tells us that Pharaoh
arrayed Joseph in vestures Of fine
linen. Silk is mentioned in the Bible
only four times.

FRANK INNOCENT,
SAYS W. j. BURNS
Atlanta Man Is Not Guilty of
Factory Girls Murder, Says
Detective.
SLAYER HELD ABNORMAL
Sleuth Leaves Chicago for South With
Report Naming Murderer of
Mary Phagan.

Chicago. Ill. April civilian ].
Burns, head OF the international de-
tective agency bearing his name, be-
lieves Leo NJ. Frank of Atlanta will
not be hanged on April II for the muir
der OF Mary Phagan.
He voiced this opinion up
on his arrival from Atlanta Several
hours later he left Chicago to returI
to Atlanta, taking with him a re-
which will be turned over to p
attorneys. This. he saws.
o, .ne uSLevLiNe ue-
clareu, me slayer's name will be made
public. There is no question that the
right man has been found, Mr.. Burns
asserted.
The facts in the case, when they are
given to the public, promise to rival
the fiction of Conan Doyle. or OF Poe.
A partial outline was given in the
statement of Mr.. Burns.
First Reports Outrageous.
THE first time that was asked to
take up the case of Frank was last
October, on my way from Europe to
the United States" he said. IAN At
lanta man on board the steamer made
the suggestion to me. At that time the
newspaper reports sent from Atlanta
were of such a character that no room
was left for doubt as to Franks guilt
These reports, it is to be proved, were
outrageous.
at took me just two days to estab-
lish beyond question that Frank was
not a person of abnormal tendencies.
But the fact that such a charge had
been brought against him served to
bring about a popular hatred of him.
We'll, together with my operatives,
| went over every phase of the muir
der-how the girl had gone to the pen
Gil factory to get her pay, how Frank
had paid her off and was supposedly
the last man to see her alive, and how,
later in the afternoon, the body was
found at the factory.
Now, a number of reports sent from
Atlanta stated that the body had been
mutilated. This was not the case. a
coroner's inquest had determined that
she had been mistreated, evidently at
the hands of some one not normal.
Going on this theory we discover
ed many new angles to the case-an-
giles which the police, goaded by the
demand of citizens for speedy action,
had overlooked. For months we have
followed every clew to the limit As
result now have a report covering the
case which is practically complete.
1.-The steps establishing the guilt of
the real murderer, as contained in this
export, are as clear as in any case in
which / have ever worked. ] will turn
this report over to Franks attorneys,
and within a few days it will be made
public. do not believe that Frank
will hang on April H."
II Franks innocence is established
he will be pardoned Immediately The
verdict OF the lower court ordering
that he be hanged was affirmed by the
supreme court of the state.

versity of features that it was difficult
to classify it. In the first place, it IS
an aquatic mammal-that is, 1t suckles
its young like the whale and the du-
gong. 1t has the fur of the beaver, the
bill of a duck and webbed feet, but the
most remarkable thing about it is that
it lays eggs like a bird or reptile. Fol
a long time it was not definitely ascer-
tanned whether it was oviparous or
viviparous, and interminable argu-
ments arose on this point between the
bush naturalists of Australia. 1t was a
most difficult point upon which to oh
tain accurate information on account
OF the shy habits of the animal. but
close research in the rivers, creeks
and lagoons of north Queensland has
established the fact that this curious
animal is oviparous. 1t belongs to tho
sub-class monotremata.
