Summons Sunday Afternoon
n This City

S. Joe McCully. after an illness Of
several months. died Sunday at the
home Of his mother, Mrs Carrie Nc
Gully, on Institute Hill. in this city.
The deceased was son Of Newton

He was 50 years old at the time of
MS death but he was one of the boys
anat never grew up; he was always
zoe McCully;" genial. big-hearted,
generous apd true friend. His
consideration for others was never
better shown than during his lone
tedious Illness. Often he would lie
and suffer pain rather than disturb
MIS- nurse to relieve him and with pa-
tfent fortitude and uncomplainfng he
faced the end.
I For several years he had been in
the employ OF the Ettewan Fertilizer
Company In Charleston, s. c., and It
was perhaps the severe tax OF his
work In unhealhful surroundings that
finally broke down his supurb consti-

as big, handsome Joe McCully?
His friends throughout the state
will be saddened TO know of his death.

New Orders Affect
 Cards, Slot Machines

Acting upon the order of the dis trict attorney, the marshaPs office yesterday ordered all slot machines to be closed at O clock last night, as we'll as all other gambling de- vices"
 The order was not unexpected.
 For some time there has been strong intimation that something was about to drop" It had been a well known fact about town and a matter of public comment that gambling was fourishing" in Juneau in different forms.
 Complaints began to reach the city officers and the latter notified certain houses that gambling would have to cease, efforts to secure ev- idence for conviction having failed owing to the unwillingness of any one to swear to a complaint.
 Included in the sweeping order are all games of chance and rallies and prize offers upon cupon con- tests, whether for indiviual firms )r church fairs and charitable pur- poses.
 The officers are not commital as 10 whether card games for trade are included, but it is understood that card games for strictly trade pur- poses will not be molested, unless ! complaint is made and sworn to. Game for "kigh bingles, however are included, upon the assumption that the playing for bingles leads to gambling and can easily be ab- lsed.
 The sole purpose of the order" stated a federal official yesterday, is to stop gambling and not to work a hardship upon anyone. The officers are in earnest about this matter and intend to enforce the law in such a way that gambl ing will be entirely eliminated. Those who have been abusing the privileges accorded them have only themselves to blame. There are not enough officers in the whole of Alaska to watch every house and devote all ot their time in an effort to secure direct evidence with which to convict. "
 Not knowing just how far the or der went towards card games, number of saloons and other place. last night stopped all card games for trade in their places.

National Forest
 Homesteads Law

1 les rom the I uDllC 2I1Q Al dppdI- ent misunderstanding on the part of many people with reference to the application of the Homestead law within the National Forests,
 ", c. Weigle, Forest Supervisor of the Tongass and Chugach Nat ional Forests with headquarters at Ketchikan, Alaska, states that since June II, Ioo6, all land wiht- in the National Forests not needed for public purposes and more valu- able for agriculture than for any other purpose has been open for homesteading ill units not exceed ing I6o acres, and that thousands of homesteaders have already talk en advantage of this law within the National Forests of Alaska and the States.
 In Alaska, be says that up to November E, 1914, 5 aPpIicat- ions had been received for home steads in the Tongass National
 Forest and II5 applications had been received for homesteads in the Chugach National Forest and that he had made . preliminary syrvey of all of these claims and that favorable reports were sub
 nitted on all of the claims except few that had to be rejected on account Of conflicting with claims of prior right. He states that the aomesteader on unsurveyed land
 within the National Forest has the advantage over the homesteader 5n unsuryeyed land outside ot the National Forest.
 FIRST-That the Forest Serv- ice since 1913 makes the surve1 for patent free of charge, thus sav- ing the claimant from one to two hundred dollars, nine such surveys having been made on the Tongass National Forest during the sum- ner of 1914 and nearly twice that number will be ready for survey on the Tongass and Chugach For ests during the summer of 1915.
 SECOND-Outside of the Nat ional Forests the law requires that the boundry lines of a homestead be run in cardinal directions, north. south, east and west, while inside the National Forests the boundary lines may be run to suit the shape of the tract of agricultural land. Since there is very little land sectionized either inside or outside of the National Forests in Alaska the making of the patent survey by the forest service free of charge IS a decided advadtage to the homesteader. The requirements Of the law for proving up On a homistead are the same inside of a Natiodal Forest as they are out side, and fl the homestead law Is reasonably complied with the sec uring of patent is certain regard less as 10 whealher it is inside or outside of a National Forest. He states most eu1phaticaliy that the Forest Service not only HOW but always has inviten legitimate Set tlement within the National For ests and that all statements to the contrary have either been made
 from lack of information or a de- sire to misstate the facts. Healso states that all Forest officers will
