Supreme Court
 Reverses Decision

The supreme court of the United States has reversed the decision of Judge Fuller of the Fourth division of Alaska in the case of the United States ys. John Wigger. The question at issue was the validity of the act of the Alaska legislature authorizing the joining of indict- ments covering two or more acts or transactions in the same class of crimes or oftenses. In its de- cision the supreme court holds that the act of the territorial legislature is a valid one and that an indict- ment hereunder may include more than one offence of the same char acter.

Reindeer Herd
 Killhd By Wolves

Another reminder or the neces- ,ity of a bounty on wolves is brought close to home in a manner that leaves no doubt in anybody $ hind.
 It is only few weeks ago that the government brought small nerd of reindeer from the first div ision to experiment on Annette k : and. The reindeer were broug | and turned loose to take care O. themselves. It was not long be- fore they were scattered all ovos the island. One died a few day s later on the beach. Others re- turned to their landing place, but still others remained away. Later the supposed leader returned minus considerable of its hide and hair, showing evidence ot a desperatr encounter.
 A native of Metlakatla reports that the reindeer are all missinl now and the presumption is that they have all been killed by wolves. Progressive.

SEWAGE SYSTEM /. FOR VALDEZ TOWN
Edwin Eekern Applies for Franchise for American Contracting Company
 -Is Referred to Committee.

Edwin Eckern, cashier of the Val
 deg Bank & Trust Co.,, applied to the city council last night for a fran chise to build and maintain a water and sewage system in the town of Valdez.
 The franchise was referred to the Committee on Sewage and Wharf age and will be reported upon at the next meeting. Mayor Ritchiee ap- pointed the Sewage and Wharfage committee at once, so that the mat ter could be taken up by them with out delay. The committee consists of Councilmen Martin, Patterson and King.
 When interviewed by representa- tive of the Prospector MT. Eckern stated that he represented the Amer ican Contracting Co. of Seattle, which planned to build a sewage and water system at once if granted the fran chise The plans of the company were to secure fall of 200 feet by securing the water three miles from town and this fall would be suffi- cient to throw the water over the top of any four-story building which might be constructed.
 The company also proposed to give the city free water and three fire hy- drants free during the life of the franchise.
 J. H. Mendenhall, of Seattle, is the head of the American Contracting company, and he has secured sur- veys of the proposed pipe line and has placed orders,i for the pipe sub ject to confirmation when the fran chise is granted. "The company propose" says Mr. Eckern, "to have the line inside of the dike before high water and will start the work at the earliest possible date after the council acts.
 "All parts of the town will be reached by the new system with wa ter and sewage pipes and the health of the community will no, longer be endangered by the unsanitary condi- tions of the present method, or lack of method, of caring for the sewage of Valdez"
