A telephone. from Katalla states
that a letter has been received there
with the information that the coal
claim of James Wardell, in the
Bering river field, was cancelled on
June 90. For some reason the
claimant had received no notice OF
this action until his attorney, Judge
Written, made inquiries at the Office
of the land commissioner. The rea-
son given for turning down the APP
plication was because sufficient work
had not been done on the claim.

turning passenger on the steamer

shipbuilding concerns stand an ex-
celIent chance of capturing all the
government contracts for the con-
struction of the Alaska fisheries
vessels and the craft to be built for
the coast and gcodetic survey-at
least those OF the latter which will
be in service on the Pacific. With
keen competition, as is expected,
owing to the slack conditions in the
shipyards of the East, it is antici-
pated that the government will be
able to obtain very reasonable bids,
but even with the longer workday

and reckoning even with the higher
wage schedule paid en- the Pacific.
Coast bidders have the advantage 81

A. J. Henneke He Immediately
thereafter appointed as patrolman,
Link VAIN, who took the oath Of
office and is now acting under his
appointment, performing the duties
as is ordinarily required of the
Chief of Police. This action is a
result of the refusal of the Town
Council to either discharge or sus-
pend Chief Henneke, the vote on
both propositions having been tie
on Monday evening.
At the last meeting of Town
Council the. electric light and power
franchise was put on its final pass
